Volcano Inn

Excellent place to stay, if you are visiting Volcanoes National Park. Lush green surroundings. Very clean rooms. It is very close to the National Park and has grocery, restaurants and gas nearby. They serve breakfast - cute papaya boats with yogurt/ fruit, and banana bread. Highlight of our stay was the manager Tabby. She was super kind, helpful and accommodating of our needs.

If you are visiting Volcanoes National Park, then look no further for your accommodation. This place is 5 minutes drive from the National Park entrance. It is located amidst the rainforest, providing great views from the room and soothing chirping of birds all the time. You will feel that you are in nature 😊 The owner is one of the sweetest persons we have ever met. There was an issue with the room that we booked. We reported it to the owner late at night and she provided us with an upgraded room. She even came to the property to help us move to the new room. 🙏 They also have a 24/7 hot tub. And to top this all, their delicious island style complimentary breakfast with freshly baked banana bread is so delicious 🤤 10/10 to this place. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

This is one property where I am reading the reviews after I stayed here. I am normally traveling 90 days in a year for business as well as family vacations. This inn is packed with lots of good reviews but before you choose this place, make sure you read all reviews which are marked 1 star or 2 star. These are correct reviews and concerns the most when you are actually renting this place. I chose this inn for the fact that it is very close to Volcano National Park. I reserved this for 2 nights for Dec 25th and 26th. I had the most expensive room which was listed on the website. All comments which are written under 1 star reviews are accurate and correct. I wish I would have paid more attention before reserving this place. The place is dirty, disgusting and hazardous. Beds, sheets and pillows are from 80s and God knows when they were washed. Beds were noisy and most uncomfortable it could get. Mold on the walls, bugs in the room, bed bugs, hard spring in the beds, uncomfortable temperature in the room and much more...you name it and that problem was there. We wanted to leave same night we arrived but we got there so late after our long day and drive so we decided to leave in the morning. We didn't care about any refund for unused night and we just chose another place which was lot better. I lost my money here, fine it was nonrefundable but my family's comfort and health was more important than refund. Guys, don't fall for many good reviews of this place, this place is a dump and doesn't deserve to stay in business. All new travelers, if you are lucky, you will read this review and all other reviews with 1 star. Simply avoid this place. I wouldn't say the present staff was rude or ignoring nature. Couple of staff members with whom I interacted, were not rude at all. They were fine. The management or ownership, whoever is answering the comments, seems to be very inexperienced and negative nature. Instead of working towards the problem and correcting issues, they are attacking with very poor replies. I left the place 24 hours before my check out time because there was nothing talk to anyone about. The condition the property is in, couldn't have done anything for us. We had a sleepless night on Christmas night but we were better once we changed our hotel. Travelers, I hope you read all 1 star reviews before you choose this dump. You will only be doing yourselves a favor.

Seriously loved it here. It’s quaint and cozy. The staff are fun, the security guy and Tabby are extremely friendly & well informed. Breakfast is always lovely to have… especially with the lower prices. Other places wanted to charge $300 a night for a basic room! Volcano Inn is way less than that. There’s so breathtaking foliage on the property and oh so close to The National Park!

One of the only places I go to for vacation and it just never disappoints. Always come up here every few months just catch a break and have always enjoyed the peace, and the quiet that im given here. Always has been the most HIGHLY affordable vacation place to stay while visiting the National Park. The Window Corner Rooms have always been some of my favorite rooms staying anywhere, always love an outdoor hottub in the rainforest. Service has always been extremely kind to me for the past 6 years of coming here and always have recommeded it to my personal clients as my #1 place to stay on the Big Island

Just got back from a 9 day honeymoon on the island, with 3 nights staying here. Loved the remoteness of the location. Loved the breakfast and can't Wait to try the banana bread recipe I bought! Was super greatful for the hot tub (I'm recovering from a fractured foot and enjoyed the soak). Staff and owner were incredibly friendly. Loved the sounds of the coqui frogs at night. I know, nothing specifically to do with the inn, but nice to fall asleep to. Would have liked a small fan in the room, but at least it cooled off late into the night. Pillows and bed were a little uncomfortable for me, but great for my husband. Location is great if your plans involve the national park or even time in Hilo. All in in, very glad we stayed and would love to return!
