The treehouse was gorgeous! With wildlife and flowers abound, we could not have asked for a more beautiful stay. The frogs at night provide a sort of lullaby that really added to the jungle experience. There are no details missed in the decor of the treehouse. It was two nights that we will not forget.

The treehouse was beautiful! We really enjoyed our stay - everything was clean and Kristie had left us water and snacks. The natural light coming in is wonderful as well. Thank you, Kristie, for making our stay so wonderful and unique!

Kristie's tropical tree house was beyond phenomenal and truly served as the highlight during our first visit to the Big Island. My partner fell ill coming in and I messaged Kristie to see if we could bump up the check in time, by a long shot - Kristie was so lovely and accommodating and made arrangements with the cleaning staff so we could check in early. The decor was charming and the place was immaculate. I cannot recommend this place enough!

This was a really awesome experience and pretty much exactly what my wife and I were hoping for. She has always dreamed of living in a treehouse, so that's why we chose to stay here for a couple nights during our honeymoon on the Big Island. It's a special feeling to be in that secluded part of the jungle. To be honest, I thought it would feel maybe slightly more secluded, as you could still hear some traffic in the distance and the treehouse is at the end of a road with several other houses. But it still feels quite secluded and special. The houses are far enough apart with plenty of jungle in between so that you can't see anyone else from the location, and we didn't hear anyone else, save all the critters in the jungle and the faint traffic in the distance as I mentioned above. It feels pretty adventurous (in a good way!) climbing up the ladder and pushing up open the heavy door to get up into the treehouse. Once we were up there we were surprised by how amazingly taken care of we were! The house is really clean and interesting and well maintained, with lots of little goodies lying around that are fun to explore. We were sooo hungry when we got there and were really grateful that Kristie left us roasted macademia nuts, 2 brownies and a plentiful supply of bottled water! The house is totally off grid, so if you've been interested in that but never had the chance to experience, it's really fun to explore a house that operates that way and all the appliances. If you rent a car (as you very likely should if you're visiting the Big Island - we did and we almost always void being in cars if you can), then the location is a good jumping off point for getting to Volcanoes National Park and exploring Hilo and the whole east side of the island. Note that the road that the house is on is pretty rough so we were happy we had an SUV rather than a regular car. This is true with many parts of the big island. We really enjoyed our stay at this treehouse. Kristie and her people at Guesty were very hospitable and wrote us very nice, clear messages. Staying here was a very positive and memorable part of our honeymoon trip.

Loved our stay in the dreamy tropical tree house! Kristie's travel guide was so helpful and helped us feel like real local explorers. Tree house was very cozy and the perfect honeymoon spot for us! Definitely hit up the snorkel spot she suggests (bring water shoes) it was incredible!

This treehouse was a dream for getting away for awhile. It was a romantic escape and the child in you will be giddy to be living amongst the trees. It was super close to Volcano National Park, in which we spent a bunch of time, and also not too far from decent food options as well. My only complaint is that our stay wasn't long enough, and we didn't use that swing nearly enough!! (completely our fault). There were bottles of water and snacks for us to enjoy, and Kristie emphasizes green practices which I love supporting all the ways we can be more friendly to our earth. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space for people to enjoy on their Hawaiian vacation. Amazing. Would do it again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone I know going to the island.

You will not regret your stay in this tree house. It's tucked away among the trees in Fern Forest far from everyone else. It's just you and the frogs! Beautifully decorated to create a dreamy and romantic experience. This isn't your average airbnb it's an experience.

Everything was great!

My stay at Donna's place was excellent as the room was great and Donna is an outstanding host! Very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history she took me on a bike tour of the city when I got in. She was also very quick to communicate and answer any questions. The house is on a side street in downtown Hilo near a few restaurants and coffee shops. Charming place to stay on the Big Island!

Great location, great host, great value. I felt like visiting a friend.

Donna was a great host! Her house is very close to downtown Hilo. The bikes are a great touch and a great way to get around. She showed me around the first day I got there. Everything in the house is very clean and kept up. This is a great place to book!

Hilo is a small city so things are all nearby, hence is this location. Old town and homes. Good for a night stay. A bit noisy but I slept through it (though ear plugs were provided). Donna is wonderful and accommodating host and provided transportation which helped as I had not rented a car.

Donna went above and beyond as a host. Starting with her offer to pick me up at the airport (which is not far from the house), she then was gracious enough to guide me on a bicycle tour of the city. After that, she made a bicycle available for me to use while exploring on my own! She was very helpful with questions/recommendations about the area and she even provided me with a breakfast in the morning. To top it off, she drove me to the airport on my departure! This was truly an outstanding experience with exceptional hospitality!

Donna is a wonderful and very helpful hostess - pickup from the airport, small breakfast and interesting conversations. It also provides a bicycle available - so you can place and lying near Beach Park to explore. The surrounding attractions (Volcano National Park, Mauna Kea, Waipio Valley) can be reached quickly with a car.

Donna was the sweetest host! She made me coffee and breakfast every morning and even gave me a bike tour of Hilo. I had a great time here!!

Best location for explore Hilo ! Also with a bike from Donna .. I missed it ! The room is big ,also the bath and there is nice patio. The old charming house is decorated with much love to the island!

The place is close to everything! But a little bit noisy, if you are prefer quite location.

What a treat! Nestled in downtown Hilo and an easy walk away from the farmer's market, shops, and restaurants, this colorful, secluded cove was a delight.

Great place, perfect location in Hilo!

We loved this apartment in the middle of Hilo. The complex is extremely cute and open and inviting. Jasper greeted us and was extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment itself is extremely spacious and the bed was comfortable. The outdoor shower was a very nice touch, and it worked well with hot water. The location is ideal, it's right in the middle of Hilo and you can walk to restaurants, shops, cafes and the water.

This apartment was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The location is downtown Hilo but when you enter the property, you are in another place, very quiet, like a zen garden with the statues, fountains and fishes. And when you go back out, you can enjoy all that Hilo can offer just by walking (especially the farmers market, just at the end of the block). We didn't stay long, and had just a little chat with Megan and Jasper. They are very welcoming and very interesting people. They gave us very useful advices to discover this side of the island. If I had the chance to go back to Hilo, I would definitely look first here for a place to stay!

Megan was super sweet and made the whole process very easy. The place is right in the middle of everything! Very convenient. We would definitely recommend it to friends.

This apartment's outdoor shower was so nice to have as the Hilo rain came down. This apartment is great for a couple looking for a romantic getaway! Jasper and the crew were awesome too. Thanks!

If this listing is available, do yourself a big favor and book it now! There is a big difference between a person renting out their spare cottage, and a professional who has been fine tuning their vacation rental year after year. Down to every single detail, this property is nothing short of perfect. From the greenery throughout the property, to the beauty of the eastern design, Lotus Gardens is a completely fitting name. Our host Megan is warm, welcoming, and has a calm peace about her that one could expect from living the slow life on the Big Island. If you're staying in Hilo, the location couldn't be better -- it's sandwiched between the crashing waves of the ocean shore, a wonderful farmer's market with some of the best prices tourists could find, and many shops and restaurants. We recommend dining at Pineapples -- it may be the best food we've had on the islands! Overall, this property is wonderful. We typically prefer more remote vacations, but we plan on coming back to Hilo just so we can stay here again. If you have any lingering doubts, just take another look at the covered outdoor shower... ;)

My brother and I stayed at Yuri's home for 3 nights in mid-February. We had a great stay. The accommodations are accurately portrayed in both photos and description. The place was very clean, organized, and comfortable. She goes the mile in her hospitality and provided nice touches (e.g., a selection of shower gels in the bathroom). While we there, Yuri was away and her son Shawn looked after us. He was very kind and responsive to our inquiries. This was similar to our dealings with Yuri prior to our arrival - prompt and easy to deal with. I hope that we make it back to the island and if so, we would welcome the opportunity to stay at Yuri's place once again. Cheers!

This is the first time I use airbnb to book for the room. Yuri was super nice and the house is so clean. They provided breakfast and everything else. I felt here is better than hotel!

Room was very clean, complimentary breakfast each morning with delicious local fruit, nice common/shared space.

Shawn made us feel welcome. The place is very clean and good organiced. We had a lovely time with the other guests.

The home was clean, friendly, and in a good and safe location. The breakfast fruits and coffee were so good and the other guests were interesting to talk with. I loved my stay and couldn't be more satisfied.

First time use Airbnb book B&B house, very excellent experience when staying in Yuri's house for two days, will come back again when visit Hilo next time. Recommended!

This place has great value for family trip. The rooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. Hosts are very flexible and considerate regarding changes in the reservation and tried best to help us out.

Yuri is wonderful. The place is great. But it can be very laud at night when people are in the kitchen. It was impossible to read or sleep before 10pm

Was a good stay by Kyung. All was there to enjoy my trip on big island.

Kyung was really friendly and kind. We stayed in a lovely 1 bed room. She made us breakfast the next morning and recommended some things to see in the Hilo area. We had a great stay. Thanks Kyung

Kyung was awesome!! Was super flexible and willing to help me! So grateful i got to meet her snd stay with her!

Kyung is very accommodating and made it clear if there was anything I needed during my stay, she would make an effort to help me out. Examples: She offered to pick me up at the airport, offered me food, offered to do my laundry. Kyung's fastidiousness made for a clean home and also created a few very minor disruptions. For example, she rearranged furniture on several occasions and was replacing shower curtains on a couple of occasions. In these situations, I needed to wait a few minutes to do certain things (like shower). Not a big deal. And, she put a better bed in my room during my stay, which I appreciated! The drier was not working for my week long stay. Since it's pretty easy to line dry in Hawaii, it was not a big deal, but it was something I needed to plan around (drying overnight was a bit harder than during the day). I also could have taken Kyung up on her offer to do my laundry, if I had wanted to. I could hear traffic noise from the room I stayed in (the home is one block away from a busy street). Not a big deal, but it was noticeable. I had read from other guests that the rooms were very quiet, but perhaps they stayed in a room at the back of the house (away from the street)? The bedroom I stayed in was fairly small, not leaving much room outside of the bed, a night stand, and the closet. I figured this was fine for the low price charged for the room. All in all, I enjoyed my stay in Kyung's home and would recommend to the budget minded traveler who may not mind small rooms with very minor disruptions to their stay.

Very friendly!

This host provides an immaculate, well-equipped, comfortable, home environment, in a peaceful, safe, residential neighborhood, 10 minutes from the Airport, coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theatres, and clothing stores. I appreciate this host's incredibly hard work and attention to detail in meeting her guests' needs. I am a single female traveling alone (with two very well-behaved dogs), and I feel much safer and more privacy staying with this host, than in a hotel downtown.

Really lucky having Kyung as my first house owner in Hawaii. It's so kindly and friendly of her that always give us great help on route planning and choose most beautiful views for us to see. We have great fun in Big island because of Kyung ! The house is near shopping mall like Walmall and you can buy needs very conveniently. Also it's convenient to go to any view from the house! It's a good choice to choose Kyung's house!

The hostess is very friendly and energetic :)

Kawehi was very welcoming and hospitable. Her home is cute and in a great location. Great place to sit on the porch and relax while enjoying your breakfast in the morning. We had a great time spending our vacation there.

Great open space with lots of fun things to look at! It's also close to downtown by car. Overall very comfortable!

We have only one night there before leaving the Big Island, but our staying was very pleasant. The garden is tropical paradise, one can really enjoy breakfast or evening glass of wine there. Thanks a lot, Kawehi!

Our stay at Kawehi's place was amazing. The house is very clean and the host is so nice. Don't forget your earplugs, frogs are part of the trip as Hilo is the most wet place of USA. Notre sejour chez Kawehi était super, la maison est très propre, grande et l'hôtesse très gentille. N'oubliez pas vos boules quies, sur hilo les grenouilles font partie du voyage, c'est la ville la plus humide des US.

This was our first Airbnb and it was a wonderful experience. This place is charming with lots of space including 2 private outdoor living spaces. Only wished we stayed longer to enjoy all the books that were available. Homemade croissants, juice, water, soda, coffee, tea and apple awaited our arrival. Loved the added touch of frosted glass for our drinks.

What a lovely place! We only stayed one night but enjoyed Kawehi house. Kawehi is a gracious host and if Hilo area again we would definitely rebook.

I have a lot of love for Hilo and Hale Kawehi! Lots of room to spread out, very private, clean, unique, and totally relaxing. When you stay in a place like Hale Kawehi you'll never go back to hotels. The prime location made visiting downtown shops, Rainbow Falls, local beaches, and excellent dining all within only a few minutes by car. Kawehi was the perfect host and I can't wait to return!

A friend and I only spent one night at Hale Kawehi, but we wish it could've been more! The home has such great character, and Kawehi was extremely accommodating. Next time I visit the Big Island, I know where I'll be staying!

There are so many positive reviews of Marlene's BnB for good reason. We have visited Hilo many times and this is definitely the go-to place to stay. It's amazing to find such a relaxing, quiet place so close to downtown Hilo. We look forward to staying with Marlene again.

Marlene was a wonderful host. We appreciate how flexible, expedient, and attentive she was to our needs. The house was lovely, the view from the porch was beautiful, and the location was so close to downtown Hilo. She greeted us and made us feel at home right away. Her house also features the quiet environment and high-speed internet we needed for audio recording and our work. My husband and I highly recommend. If we ever need a place to stay in Hilo, this is definitely where we will go.

A sweet spot...a great host.....worth checking out

Such a wonderful experience all the way around! The house was so cute, Marlene was more than gracious and full of helpful tips, the location was a mile from everywhere we wanted to be including places to eat, waterfalls, hiking trails and beaches. Would stay there again and would confidently recommend to friends!!

Marlene was a great host. She is very friendly and considerate. Breakfast was awesome. Very beautiful home and very comfortable. Thank you Marlene!

Nice neighborhood and location, close to downtown Hilo. Marlene is an awesome host. Breakfast & fruits are very good and she also provided a lot of insider tips on what to do in Hilo.

This is a beautiful house, the surrounding environment is really great, are all green plants and beautiful bird sounds. Homeowner Marlene is a very nice person, kind, friendly, warm. She prepared breakfast is also particularly good. This is a great experience.

Marlene's home couldn't have provided a better place to visit Hilo. Clean, bright sun (sometimes it rains) and a gracious host. Hilo is a close walk or bike ride away, but not too close, we got the best the night life had to offer and the quiet solitude of a historic neighborhood. I could picture anyone staying here for any reason as long is it was about visiting Hilo.

Great place to stay in Hilo! Would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely stay at Miguel's place in Hilo. The apartment is comfortable, cozy, and charming. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. Check-in was very easy and Miguel was helpful and accommodating. If we ever return to Hilo, we will definitely book our stay here again.

Miguel is vey nice and his place is very cozy and clean. The neighbourhood is safe, my parents enjoyed their after dinner walk in the area. We had a wonderful family gathering evening at Miguel's place, it made us feel like home, wish we had stayed for more days! BTW, it may not be shown on the pictures, but the bathroom came with a shower area which was not on the same side of the wall as the Japanese style bath tub.

Miguel was very accommodating. We arrived a little before the 3:00pm check in and he allowed us to drop our stuff off and get settled and changed for the family event we were attending. His place was very comfortable and pleasant. Would definitely stay there again when we come back to the big island.

Mahalo to Miguel for being such an accommodating host! House is easy to find and very clean wth all the amenities. Will definitely stay here again!

Miguel was incredibly accommodating. The fresh flowers and parting gift were unexpected pleasures.

Miguel has a lovely space -- comfortable, well decorated and with room to spread out. He was available and gracious. We were within walking distance of a few "Yelp" rated restaurants but a bit further away from true downtown than we expected. Since a car is required to really get around Hilo anyway, this was not a big problem. Even having the roof replaced the last day was not too much of a problem. Life happens! Thanks so much for sharing your abode, Miguel.

Lots of space, with entrance, kitchen/dining, lounge, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Lots of books and board games around to keep you entertained.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The houses and the garden are beautiful, the appartment looks even better than the pictures suggest. Having our breakfast on the lanai, facing the garden and the ocean was a feast for the eye every morning. Maria was very welcoming . If I were to come back to Hilo, I would certainly want to stay there again . L'appartement est encore plus joli que sur les photos, spacieux, le lanai-cuisine est très agréable , particulièrement pour prendre son petit déjeuner avec vue sur le jardin qui est magnifique, et l'océan. Etape très recommendable.

Maria and Steve's apartment, the property and the entire neighborhood was absolutely perfect for our needs. It's conveniently located near beaches, snorkeling, historical sites, zip lines, and Hilo as well as Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Loved the fact that I could walk to the nearby beaches. Just the walk itself, which is only 5 minutes, was beautiful and very enjoyable. Maria and Steve are very kind and generous. They struck a perfect balance between being very helpful, giving great information about things to do and see, without being intrusive in the least. Loved the quiet laid back atmosphere. We loved the friendly Geckos that joined us for breakfast. We will happily return here next time we come to the Big Island.

Maria was super precious and amazing! She greeted us warmly as she was gardening ❤️the space was clean,cozy and close to the beach. Loved hearing the waves as we went to sleep! I will definitely come back and visit Maria even if it's just to hangout ! Amazing energy!

Maria was a very gracious and thoughtful host. Her home is beautiful and conveniently located close to town and Richardson's Beach Park. She has supplied everything possible to accommodate your stay and make you comfortable. The space is very cozy, classy and clean. She greeted us with lovely flowers from her abundant garden. We thoroughly enjoyed adding some of her fresh herbs from the garden into our meals. Her dogs were a joyful treat to come home to each day. We highly recommend staying on her property.

my second time back on the big island and the more i explore, the more hidden gems i discover... like maria and steve's place! this is THE place to stay in hilo, close to many beaches, one of my favorites in particular-- carlsmith!! short driving distance from the airport and shopping centers. after being out and about, this is such a nice retreat to come back to. the description and pictures of the space is accurate but they leave out how comfortable the bed is and the great water pressure from the shower [as compared to other airbnb places i've stayed at (it's the little things! lol)]. you get your own private space with well thought out amenities and high quality furnishings. maria and steve are such a personable couple and are top notch hosts-- very accommodating, reliable with communication and helpful with itinerary suggestions. i could seriously see myself coming back here again. but in the meantime, it's your turn to get to enjoy this slice of hilo heaven. you're welcome :)

One word: perfect! The location is great, just next to Hilo. Maria and Steve place is so charming and quiet. The apartment was also very clean. It's hard to describe atmosphere with words but in fact, being to maria and Steve place is like being at home, or moreover being at your dreamt house. Maria is also so welcoming... The girl is a gold mine when it comes to give you advice about what yo do in the neighborhood and she is also a purely nice person. She is always smiling, helping you, and just makes you feel good (few examples: some fresh gardenia for my girlfriend, papayas for morning breakfast, etc.). I have only one regret and it was that I have to leave their place to come back to mine...

Maria and Steve's place was very comfortable. We enjoyed the lanai in the mornings. We liked walking to the beach and being a short ride from town. Maria was a great host. We highly recommend this and would love to return !

マリア&ステーブの家はとても静かな場所にあります。ラナイに出ると木々の間から波も見えます。雨の間ラナイでラウハラマットを編みながら過ごしました。雨の音や鳥の声、風に癒されて静かな時間を過ごすことができました。少し歩くとリチャードソン パークもあります。海で遊んで冷えた身体をバスタブで温めることが出来ます。それは幸せなひと時です。寝心地の良い快適なベッドも広いクローゼットも良かったです。またヨガマットも貸し出していただきました。とてもリラックスできました。ありがとう! ケアウカハの土地のエネルギーとマリア&ステーブに感謝しています。 Maria & Steve's house is located in a very quiet location. Wave will appear between the trees from the lanai. during the rain, I spent while weaving the lauhala mat in lanai. sound of rain. voice of the bird. healed in the wind. I was able to spend a quiet time. There is also Richardson Park near. You can warm the cold body after playing in the sea. it is a happy (EMAIL HIDDEN)fortable beds, and broad is the closet was also good. I had borrowed a yoga mat. I was able to really relax. Thank You! Keaukaha of land of energy, I am grateful to Maria & Steve. Mahalo

Dennis was super friendly and his house was very comfortable and located right near downtown Hilo. We had a great stay and loved cooking dinner on the grill. We had a great stay here!

Nice room with a comfortable bed, in a lovely old house just up the hill from downtown Hilo. Dennis is a great host - good conversation, and he gave some good sightseeing tips for my last day on the island too. Definitely recommended if you're staying in Hilo.

Dennis was warm, welcome and a pleasure to chat with. The room and the house very clean and is centrally located within walking distance to downtown Hilo. The internet and cell phone coverage is fantastic and the room is very clean, spacious with great ambiance. Overall a pleasant stay. Thanks Dennis.

When you see Dennis, you will start to sense the hospitality. He exactly knows what the guests need and how to treat them. It was a great experience talking with him. For a newcomer like me, he was extremely helpful in guiding. To be honest, I learned from Dennis how to host guests. Bathroom and bedroom are super clean. No complaints at all. Great Place!!

Dennis' house is a lovely place to stay, plenty of colors, great location, we really enjoyed staying there. Dennis gives a lot of attention to his hosts, we had a great stay !

Great place. Dennis is very hospitable and the rooms are comfortable and clean.

Dennis is an enjoyable host. No pressure, easy going and good energy.

Dennis is a great host: straight-forward, down-to-earth, and friendly. His house is in a great location just up the street from historic downtown Hilo's shops and restaurants and it is also very clean, charming, and well maintained. If you are traveling to Hilo I recommend staying at Dennis' place!

Steph's place is wonderful. Very comfortable, homey and warm. A quiet neighborhood close to town but residential enough to feel local, safe, and relaxed. I'd stay again any time!

A lovely quiet space in a family neighborhood . Stephane is very thoughtful and respectful.

Stephanie is very welcoming and kind and her house is just beautiful. I immediately felt at home, slept really well and enjoyed being in this quiet neighbourhood. I would love to stay there again.

We loved staying at Stephanie's home, it was very homey and comfortable, in a great location in town with easy access to everything. Stephanie and Esmeralda were both nice to chat with, and they welcomed us to the whole space. For those looking to do non-touristy things in and around Hilo, Stephanie is a great resource! We recommend staying with her if you're ever going thru town.

The most important thing to say about our experience is how the details make the difference and Stephanie's place is full of beautiful ones. She was very supportive during our stay giving us some tips and instructions to go around Hilo and replied quickly my messages prior our arrival. The room and her place is beautifully decorated and we were very pleased to sleep in a room so cute and comfortable. I do recommend you to stay with her, Stephanie's service is top!!

Stephanie is a great hostess and the communication was easy. The room is superb, the decoration is really nice and everything is clean. Her house is 5 minutes from Hilo's downtown. I recommend it

Staying at Stephanie's was perfect. We had a very short stay there, but I would definitely come back. We arrived later in the day and she gave great instructions to her house. She lives on a side street and it was raining and dark, so it was very helpful. The place is beautiful and we felt very safe. I really appreciate Stephanie for being such a friendly host!

We had a really good overnight stay in Stephs home. She is such a friendly and helpful person. We were free to use all of the kitchenstuff. Her flat is beautiful and very cozy. Steph has a super cute cat. We were totally happy and we felt absolutely welcomed. We enjoyed our stay! Thank's Steph for everything!

It was a pleasant time with a very good reception, and Rachele was always ready to answer all my questions, make yourself at home is the perfect description, thank you.

We arrived quite late at night but Rachele waited for us. The place was nice and as described. We found the location very convenient and had a wonderful week. True to its name "Make yourself at home ..." we really felt at home. The new dog "Guava" was very gentle and nice. The inside cat "Frank" was very nice too. He wanted more attention than we could give for lack of time. Overall, the place was just great and the host very caring and accommodating. We would love to stay there again if we get a chance to go back.

Everything was perfect. The house is nice, patio awesome, big kitchen with all required equipment. Host is very friendly, helpful and open. We had really good time! Thank you.

Michelle has a clean safe house in a good location. Very attractive backyard with multilevel lava walls . it's close enough to downtown if you have a car. I would not hesitate to stay there again.your host tries to make you stay enjoyable and gives you a lot of freedom in the kitchen.

Rachele's place is nice, clean, in close proximity to everything I need within town and most of all she is a wonderful host. This is my first AirBnB experience and an excellent one. I am awake early due to timezone difference so I spent a lot of time in the lanai catching up with emails and making phone calls while having my morning coffee. It is a nice place to hangout even when it is raining. Isabele (outside cat) gave me good company. I will definitely stay here again next time I am back in Hilo.

She was definitely a great host. We really felt at home as she titled her place. As a sort of new comer to AirBnB, I might had caused some inconvenience to her, but she showed us great tolerance and cares. Thanks again for your warm hosting.

Staying at Rachele's was my first experience with Airbnb and it was great. She is friendly, nice and really makes you feel at home. The house and room are neat and clean. The back yard is beautiful and well kept. It is centrally located, just a couple minutes from the airport, and easy to find. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone! Thanks again, Rachele!

Great! Rachele really made us feel welcome and provided a wonderful experience for our very first Air bnb stay. Accommodations were as advertised and would highly recommend for others.

Colleen was a wonderful host, on the beautiful big island. Would highly recommend!

Colleen's place was awesome! Clean and comfortable. I requested her last minute and she was very accommodating. I really wished we could have stayed longer and gotten more time at Colleen's. Thank you! I will be returning whenever im in Hilo again. =)

I needed a one night stay in Hilo and booked it in the morning, so it was great that Coleen answered me instantly and let me check-in at the time I needed. She lets you use the kitchen and livingroom and make you feel that you can move around freely, which was great fir me.

Colleen, her Fiancé Timo and their flatmate Royce were supernice and easy going; they had lots of good advice for us on what to do and where to go. We felt very easy and at home. Colleen also treated us to a delicious coffee from Timo's parents own coffee plantation. yumm. Hope to be back someday.

Due to the timing and one-night stopover, it unfortunately wasn't possible to meet Colleen directly. However, her fiancé Timo was very welcoming and accommodating. The house interior cools at night with the evening air circulation, so it is good to come prepared with some warmer sleeping clothing if one is not accustomed to the cooler temperatures at this time of year (Feb). All in all, a pleasant stay and location-wise a good launching point into central Hilo.

I stayed here for six nights while I cared for my son, who lives next door, post-knee surgery. It was perfect for my purposes, providing a bedroom and bathroom, which is all I needed. I was invited to make it my home and I did, leaving early in the morning and returning at night. It was a little weird that I never saw anyone at the house after I checked in and never met Colleen, but it suited my purposes fine.

We had a great stay! Although we could not spend much time with them, Collen and Timo were really nice. They gave us some great recommendations about things to do and restaurants in Hilo. They even left fresh flowers for us in the room! (Which has a very nice collection of books, by the way). One thing to improve is that the house could be a bit cleaner. Overall, a great place to stay, 100% recommended

Colleen abd Timo were great hosts. Timo helped my soon crack open a coconut for the first time, and they were both very laid back and accommodating. We'd gladly stay with then again, if they'll have us!

Kristie's home exceeded expectations and led to a very peaceful stay in Hilo. The night sounds were amazing and sleeping in the master, hearing the peaceful wildlife and awaking each morning to the stunning sea view was inspiring. We will stay here again when we come back to Hilo!!! Highly recommended.

This rental was exceptional, for both place and person. The place is a newly rennovated home a ~7 min drive from downtown Hilo in a private and safe neighborhood, with spectacular views of the bay (from both the living room and master bedroom). Super clean, open layout in common areas, perfect firmness King bed, new appliances… Best of all, Kristie is an extraordinary artist (painter) and examples of her work adorn many of the walls in the house. This place feels great to be in. Kristie’s studio is downstairs. She was delightful and eager to make our stay enjoyable. She succeeded. Highly recommended.

Loved our stay in Hilo at Kristie's Place!! Would recommend to everyone and will come back if we're ever in Hilo again :)

Awesome space to stay. Very clean and spacious. We had a wonderful time.

Kristie's "Art House" was truly just that. She is a gifted local artist and her works are there for you to enjoy! Very attentive host and the house was wonderful. Beds so comfy and the view fabulous! We even picked papaya to enjoy for breakfast. Close to UHHilo, found a great Mexican Restaurant (suggested by Kristie). Best Tamales I have ever had. Fairly central to everything on Hilo side. Loved it!

Stay here if you have the chance. This place was great. The host was so kind, the place was clean and private and the food was great. Details: The picture does not represent the place I got. I was hesitant to come here with that picture, but my first option declined my request last minute. Helen accepted me quickly when I requested. When I got here, I was put in a separate house with a full kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. It was very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything one could need. There were two bedrooms in this house, and if another person was in the other bedroom I imagine it would have been fine. I later found out that there were two more rooms in the main house, one of which is what this picture is. It seems like the host needs to work out the kinks in their listing. That being said, jump on this while things are still in flux. You'll be glad you did. The host greeted me, and was always easy to smile and laugh naturally. She was a delight. She also made breakfast for me and brought it into the main room at 6:00 every day. It was delicious and plentiful. She was very willing to go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. The location was also great. Close to downtown and the airport. The frogs and other things at night were a little loud, but I personally liked the rhythm. This may have been my best experience with air b'n'b. It was certainly the best value I have stumbled across yet. I hope for their sake and yours that this place starts getting more popular.

This was absolutely perfect. The house is very clean, conveniently located and Young is the nicest! Like other reviews said, the photos don't represent the space. I was in a private room with fridge, fan, and adjacent private bathroom. Toiletries include everything you need, down to mouthwash and floss. Quite luxurious! Breakfast was delicious and always laid out neatly on the kitchen table when I got up. I also enjoyed the comfortable covered deck at dinner time. This was a perfect experience definitely recommend it!

Young's place is great and Young is a nice host who helped me a lot during my stay. You will have a private room with a private restroom. The room is big enough. The location is great for guests who have cars. It is hard to get to other places in Hilo without a car.

A really great place to stay. Overall good spot.

Young is the perfect hostess! She's super nice and helpful, and she makes an amazing breakfast. Accommodations are better in real life then they look in the pictures. I will def stay here again next time I'm Hilo!

Young is a very friendly and welcoming person. It is a really good room, big, confortable, clean and has good facilities like fridge and fan. Was a pleasure stay there. Thank you for everything

Very private, comfortable bed, well decorated and well stocked with anything you could need. Close to town and Pancake House, walkable to some restaurants. We did not use the pool but it looked nice.

The villa is just beside Hawaii state park, so surrounded by wild trees and flowers. Large pond is at back ground, so I enjoyed the appearance of waterfowls just like ducks, mandarin ducks, and NeNe:Hawaiian gooses. However It's not so far from downtown. I can walk to the famous cookie company: Big Island Candies about 7~8minutes. This villa must be so famous when built, appearance's maintenance is not perfect right now. But inside of the room is fashionable by owner's good sense, comfortable and clean. There are various numbers of spices, tea,coffee and beans at kitchen. I enjoyed breakfast at the terrace looking pool at downstairs. There isn't laundry inside of room, but they have laundry room in this villa. ハワイ州立公園の隣に位置し、ワイルドな木々に花々や池という多くの自然 に囲まれたヴィラ。小鳥の歌に目覚め、多くの水鳥 アヒルにオシドリ そしてハワイ州の鳥ネネ:ハワイアングースの姿も楽しめました。それでいながらダウンタウンにも遠くなく、有名なクッキー店 Big Island Candiesには徒歩7~8分で行ける距離という便利さです かつては鳴物入りで公開され、評判であったであろうヴィラは年月を経て外装はメンテナンスが行き届かないですが、部屋は 簡素な家具ながらもオーナーのセンスでお洒落で心地良く設えられてあります モノトーンに纏められたキッチンには様々なスパイスやティー、コーヒー等が揃っており、ヴェジタリアン向けの豆類も幾種もガラス容器に入っていました 眼下にプールを眺めるベランダでの朝食を愉しみました 室内にはランドリーが無く、建物内に共用ランドリーがあるそうです

Jeffrey's flat is a perfect base for exploring Hilo. It's clean and well-equipped, and close to downtown, Lili'uokalani Gardens and some of the great eateries in town.

We are grateful for the convenience and cleanliness of this accommodation. The condo is nicely decorated and neat. I liked the bamboo and tile flooring and enjoyed the rainfall shower head!

Had a great stay at Jeffrey's centrally located apartment. While walkable to amenities, would suggest making use of the free parking and getting a rental car. Jeffrey is a great host and put together an informative welcome packet with tips and tricks. Would stay again for sure.

The condo is a perfect little home away from home. Sitting on the lanai in the morning with my coffee was perfection and the kitchen had everything we needed so we didn't have to eat out every meal! Jeffrey is great with any and all questions! I hope to stay here again!!

I stayed at this place for two nights. It looked much nicer in the inside than out. Probably the best condo there. It's small but big enough for two people. Clean and provided towels/toiletries/blankets. I let my buddy have the bed and I slept in on the couch. My only complaint is that there was someone that stayed a couple nights before we did, the extra comforter wasn't cleaned. It smelled like the last person who used it. However I'm sure sheets on the bed were clean. I would recommend this space to anyone, it's close to downtown Hilo and easy parking.

The place is amazing! Just so close to the airport but you don't hear anything at all. :) very comfy and cozy place, clean and very central. Jeffrey was very helpful ! I can definitely recommend to stay at his!

This is a wonderful house with plenty of room and a great deck on the back. Close to Rainbow Falls that you will have to see and not too far from downtown Hilo. It is beautifully decorated with her artwork.

I booked this home for three of my co-workers traveling for a construction job. They said, "The house was comfortable and central. The deck was such a relaxing spot to hangout after a long day of work. Most nights we could catch little league baseball and adult softball played at the park across the street. This home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in Hilo. We would definitely stay here again!"

This home was perfect for my family and I! Checking in was easy and Deborah was very easy to contact. House was extremely clean and up to date. Everything we needed was available. There were three private bedrooms, spacious dining room, and two bathrooms. One of the bathrooms was outside the house but still great and clean. The patio outside was a great place to hang out as well. I really have nothing to complain about my stay. The price was great. Best airbnb experience for me. I would highly recommend this place.
