"A Disappointing Stay at Volcano Forest Inn"

Reviewed May 17, 2025

This property is a house with multiple rooms that the owner rents out nightly. I believe there are five rooms in total. The common entrance, secured by a code, leads into the shared kitchen, dining, and living areas. The overall condition of the living spaces has noticeably deteriorated and requires significant maintenance. The kitchen appears worn out and dirty, making it uninviting to use. Additionally, there is a lingering odor in the house, possibly due to the area's rain and humidity. Our stay was brief, as we spent most of our time exploring Volcano National Park—a definite advantage of this property due to its proximity. However, our experience inside the room itself was far from comfortable. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, with noticeable springs pressing against our backs, making restful sleep impossible. We booked our stay through AAdvantage Hotels, which operates through Rocket Travel. All taxes and fees were collected in advance. However, upon arrival, we were unexpectedly asked to pay an additional $80 in cleaning fees at check-in, which led to frustration. While we recognize that this miscommunication was not the property owner’s fault, we are currently disputing these fees with Rocket Travel. Given the poor condition of the property and the uncomfortable stay, we cannot recommend this hotel to other travelers.

"Make sure you have your entry code in advance."

Reviewed April 08, 2025

The check-in process was a bit confusing. We didn’t receive a code for the entry door lock. After calling the owner, we found out that TripAdvisor had sent the information to my Booking.com mail. The owner was quick to respond and we eventually were able to self check-in. The location was great, but the amenities were mediocre. The beds were springy and not firm. But, we were just there for one night and we made sure the experience was manageable by and for everyone. Everything else besides that was fine.

"Paradise in the jungle"

Reviewed June 11, 2024

Jon was an excellent host. Property is 200 yards from a lightly traveled road so very quiet. The facility is surrounded by tropical forest and is only 1 mile from entrance to volcanoes national park and 25 minutes from Hilo. Room was huge, about 27'x21'. It had a private covered deck to listen to the rain and pheasants who occupy the surrounding forest at night. No mini-fridge in the rooms but the large fridge in the shared area was accommodating. Breakfast was trail bars, muffins, fruit, coffee and hot tea. The building has 4 bedrooms and a shared common area with common kitchen. We never saw another patron and Jon was discreet. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries and have easy access to a fantastic park.

"Beware! Terrible, cold, hostel type of environment!"

Reviewed March 13, 2024

This place was a nightmare. I did not like it at all. First of all, there was no one to greet you and show you around. There was a keypad with a code (which we couldn't figure out), but finally someone came from inside to help us get entry. Then quickly went backup stairs. You walk into the kitchen area, which is very messing with multiple notes on the refrigerator cabinets and drawers, not to touch! Not a warm and fuzzy environment. We went down the hall to find our room from the text message we received via the "bookings" website. The room itself was nice, clean and spacious. No extra towels, blankets, or toilet paper, and the soap dispenser was empty. They supplied no shampoo, rinse, or bath soap. As a matter of a fact, we ran out of toilet paper, and through a text were told to go to another bathroom to "collect" another roll ourselves. Imagine that? The only positive thing I can say about this establishment was the beds were comfortable and the room was relatively clean. Even though the walls in the room we had had mismatched paint on the walls. Tacky. Then furthermore upon reading all the text messages auto sent from the Bookings platform, there was many threatening fees if you didn't put the keys where you were asked, or if you didn't lock the sliding door, and heaven forbid if you forgot something and had to reentry after your designated "check out" time you be charged a "fee"! This place was run like a youth hostel for wayward children!
