Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Island of Hawai'i

So friendly as I had a friend in the hospital for several days. Nice they had coffee and light breakfast stuff! 5 stars! Even helped me get my keys from truck I accidentally locked inside. Saved me $100 and a lot of time omw back to visit patient. Would definitely come back. Mahalo!

I stayed at Julia’s beautiful apartment for three nights. I can honestly say that I have never stayed at a better airbnb. She was the most friendly, helpful and nice host you can imagine. And the location is just incredible, in the middle of her self managed beautiful garden/rainforest. The room is very clean, cozy and everything was just as you’d need it. She and her friend even took me on a morning hike in volcanoes NP and showed me the nature, lava formations and told stories from their time living in the area. I’ve enjoyed the stay at this beautiful Airbnb in the middle of the rainforest and if I ever come back I will definitely stay there again! All the best to Julia and her family!

We had a great experience staying in Cody's place as our base whilst we were in Hilo. It's a lovely space to spend time, and we spent several lazy mornings on the veranda with the provided breakfast which you can access at any time. Although the location wasn't convenient for walking, we were able to find Ubers / Lyfts into Hilo without much of an issue on nights we wanted to avoid driving due to alcohol.

Our stay at Kulaniapia Farm exceeded expectations, the cabin especially. I was expecting a pretty bare bones cabin thanks to both the pictures and description, but the cabins are beautifully made, with comfortable linens and a stunning view of the farm, down to the ocean. We spent an entire day exploring the farm and sharing the space with the community members during a monsoon-like rainy day. We didn’t get to enjoy the waterfall due to the weather, but our experience getting to immerse ourselves in the community was even better. I will say the Airbnb listing doesn’t do a great job of explaining the property—you’ll be staying on a working farm where there are several employees doing a work to live program. The shared living space is quite literally their home, which may feel awkward for some (the majority of those we met were lovely humans). There are also cats living in the shared barn space, which may be an issue for those with allergies.

This was a wonderful place to stay! Kurt and Kana were such gracious hosts. We loved the yummy breakfasts, comfortable bed, and beautiful sunset views. We’d love to come back for a visit someday.

We stayed at Volcano Village Estates on 3/23/2025, our stay was spectacular. We were maybe 6 minutes away from the National Park, and then 25 minutes for a major grocery store. This spot is perfect for us you want to go to the NP at night to watch the lava (if there is any). John was extremely welcoming and attentive to all of our questions and issues. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this for while staying here in volcano.

We enjoyed being within walking distance to our favorite snorkeling spot in Hilo, at Richardson Park. Claudia is a charming host that will prepare a fabulous breakfast every morning with fresh fruits and other treats. Ask for the waffles, made on the spot! Sleeping to the sound of the frogs and the rain makes you feel that you are in the middle of the jungle. There are mosquitos outside but none inside.

The hosts crafted an exceptional space and experience, providing outstanding hospitality marked by care for the guests and thoughtful local tips.

Lovely staycation :-)

Exceptional Hospitality! This stay was absolutely wonderful thanks to CC . From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond to make me feel at home. She was always responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about my comfort. The place itself was clean and cozy, but it’s the host’s warmth that made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend – I'd love to stay again!

Ryan’s sanctuary is a stunning property nested away filled with fruit trees, animals and meditation areas. He thrives at growing a local community focused on self-sustainability and ecological wisdom. He is kind and everyone on the property was superb. Highly recommend this spot for any visitors looking to enjoy some time in bliss!

Our stay at Clem’s place was nothing short of amazing. We were greeted warmly by our hosts and shown around the property as well given a rundown of the extra amenities provided. Everything was perfect and the attention to detail was outstanding. I highly recommend staying here especially if you are a single traveler or a couple wishing to relax in a beautiful and peaceful environment surrounded by singing birds, friendly dogs, and good vibes. Also, don’t miss out on the delicious breakfast each morning! That was easily one of the highlights of our stay. Thanks again Clem and Angus, we will be back soon.

We had a lovely stay at Megan’s place, highly recommend to anybody looking to explore the Kailua-Kona side of the Island. Thanks Megan!

This beautiful location for the bed and breakfast is along a river with access to a lovely waterfall. The accommodations were simple and very comfortable. The surroundings are serene and very special. We enjoyed the short hike down and swimming under the powerful waterfalls. The morning (when sun shines in the water) is best time to check it out. The staff are helpful and kind. It's a great place to stay if you are checking out nearby Hilo or other sites east side of island.

Louis and Tony were very wonderful. We loved staying on their farm. First night we weren't quite ready for the jungle sounds. The roosters can be quite loud even starting early in the night. But after that we got more used to it and something about feeling like you were sleeping outside, but in the safety of a rustic home with screen windows helped melt our stress away. Breakfasts were phenomenal and the hosts were super accommodating to my husband's many dietary restrictions - can't get enough of their fresh fruit and eggs! We would certainly stay here again. Thank you Louis and Tony!

Carl came to welcome us and provide further details. The room was comfortable, with all of the necessary amenities. It was great to have snorkel gear, boogie boards and insect repellent available for use. The hot breakfast served was excellent. Both Carl and Elma were were friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Good value and location in a quiet neighborhood in Volcano. I was on a trip to to see Kilauea erupt and this place allowed me easy access to the volcanoes park and village eateries and Sunday farm market. They were communicative before check in and check out and provided a cutting board/knife I used to cut a couple of pineapples during my visit. Price beats expensive resorts, plus there aren't a lot of people around.

Sarah’s place was such an incredible spot, surrounded by natural beauty and a warm, spacious, clean and wonderful room. Sara was super friendly and helpful - we felt right at home. Would 100% go back again!

Mahalo, Thank you so much. Your place is so peaceful and lovely decor. The rain shower was wonderful. We loved having our breakfast on the lanai with spectacular views. Brittany was so accommodating and we would love to return. Mahalo and much aloha🌺 Kristine and James

CC is super nice, she picked us up at the airport, so check in was very smoothly. She was very kind, she also prepared instant noodle, breakfast for us. Only 10 mins away from the airport, highly recommended for a Kona stay :)

It was a great little getaway and Sarah was so sweet to bring out delicious homemade papaya bowls for breakfast! 10/10!

Great place with amazing views of the ocean and the coconut trees.

It was a wonderful trip. Vina and her family were very kind and made every effort to make our stay at BIG ISLAND comfortable. We had everything we needed. The fresh fruit we were given was delicious. The room was very clean and comfortable. The private bathroom was spacious too. It was quiet and the neighbors were kind, so it was a very peaceful stay. Highly recommended.

The location was beautiful, the community was fabulous, I've never been somewhere that the other guests were so chatty and welcoming. It was my first time in Hawaii, first vacation in over a decade, and it was magical! I will definitely be staying here again when I'm on the big island! The Monday night bbq is a big event that brings members of the community from all over the island! The kitchen was great, but some other guests' items had spilled into my section of the fridge but no biggie as I didn't have much I needed space for since I was planning to try as much local food as I could. I would recommend that, even if you plan to eat out, you should bring coffee and/or breakfast type snacks as the nearest town is about a 15 minute drive. There was a breakfast service available that I didn't take advantage of because I was going to local restaurants. 11/10 Thanks for the stay Mathew! I had an absolutely amazing time and I wish I'd been staying longer!
