It was good. But the place is aged, old spring mattress and no hand soap. But quiet and cool after a hot day.

Having booked this online, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The inn is in the rainforest, and very charming. Our host greeted us upon arrival and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Everything was very clean, spacious, and conveniently located to Volcano National Park. I highly recommend staying here.

2 miles outside of the National Park. Like a self serve bed and breakfast. Clean, spacious, comfortable and so quiet. Breakfast of fruit, toast, oatmeal, granola bars and some pastries. It was fun chatting in the kitchen with other guests. It has a great homey vibe. Large kitchen fridge to hold your groceries. It worked great for us for two nights.

Secluded and surrounded by the forest lends a quite, restful feel to the inn. Conveniently located just a few miles from volcanoes national park and the gracious proprietor made for a great visit!

We enjoyed our stay at Volcano Forest Inn!! It was SO close to the National Park!! Jon was super helpful!!!

This property is conveniently located near the national park, making it an excellent base for hiking and exploring. While the space was generally comfortable, there was a noticeable musty odour, which seems understandable given the damp climate around Volcano. The area and property itself offer limited amenities, including breakfast, so it’s important to come prepared. As such, I would recommend bringing your own essentials, as the property may not provide everything you might expect. Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone prioritizing proximity to the park.

Jon has a great place near Volcano National Park. The room was very clean and extremely roomy. The bed was comfy and waking up to see the lush ferns and flowers was great. There are snacks and breakfast drinks ready in the morning. I've stayed here twice now and will again on my next trip to Hawaii. Treat yourself to a wonderful pace to experience the big island

A quaint Inn in the truest sense. Secluded, access to a full kitchen, well-appointed rooms, great host. And if you want to visit Volcano National Park, you really can't beat the location!!

2/10

The room was very dirty. The toilet brush was thrown inside the bathroom cabinet. There were only two lightbulbs in the bathroom. The hallway and bedroom is partially painted with paint blotches throughout. The refrigerator is rusted. The continental breakfast is basically fruit granola bars, weak coffee. The lights on our deck did not work Major potholes in the driveway.
