볼케이노 빌리지 이스테이트(Volcano Village Estates)

Cute and super convienent to Volcano National, but it left a lot to be desired for the price tag, but strangely, lodging is very limited in Volcano (maybe the NAtional Parks will get their game on someday and build a lodge like they did in Zion) Staff was very friendly. The space is in need of updating and general repairs; toilet did not like to fully flush, carpet and decor is worn. We knew the odds of rain when we ventured there, but hoped for a bit more as far as a bed and breakfast...there were no dryers available for drying rain soaked hiking clothes and the breakfast is delivered to your room and stored in the fridge before you arrive. Our junior sweet had one (broken) chair and no table so the four of us were left to sit on the beds to eat breakfast. The junior suite offers a large porch with a table and chairs but it is uncovered so for us it was an unusabe space (screened in porch would've made this pace 100x's better) Fortunatey we had a deck of cards with us to past the time as the larger home was not open for guest use. It was the one time on our trip where I would've welcomed a TV for a movie night as the rain was relentless and had us in our room by 5P...

Wonderful place to stay near the volcanos. The cottages have a homely feel to it with greenery all around. The staff is very responsive to your needs. We opted to get a massage which was very relaxing and highly recommended. The volcano national park is less than 5 mins away and a must see!

We stayed in a bungalow room. Good quality amenities and a nice breakfast provided in the morning. The hotel is several buildings spread over beautiful grounds. If you are looking for a peaceful experience this is it. Enjoyed the hot tub on a cool drizzly evening. Friendly & accommodating staff. Highly recommend.

John and the team at the volcano village estates were amazing! My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and it was the perfect stay. It was so peaceful and in a great location to the Volcano National Park. During our stay John and the team made delicious breakfasts for us each morning and gave us some great tips for visiting the island. We can’t wait to come back. We highly recommend the Volcano Village Estates!

We booked online for a Kama'aina rate for two nights at the Rainbow Falls Cottage and it was a magical experience: no TV, no wi-fi (there is, but you have to be in the main building for it to work), no phones. Instead, you will hear chirping birds, maybe the meow of the resident cat Pumpkin, the purring and cooing from the group of domesticated pheasants that roam the property, and the coqui frogs at night. Ownership changed from Hale Ohia Cottages to the current Volcano Village Estates after COVID. RAINBOW FALLS COTTAGE: Rainbow falls was larger in person than what it looked like on their website to me, at least. The cottage has small two-person porch, a bedroom, a kitchenette area and bathroom. The porch was small but just right for 2 persons. The chair cushions were kind of worn down but who cares, you're outside! The table had an uneven surface so we put our wine glasses on the porch rails. The main room had a queen sized bed which was rather soft and gave us backaches, but some people may prefer a softer bed. I ended up sleeping on the chaise lounge one night, mostly due to husband's snoring, but I did like the firmness of the lounge chair. Lighting in the room was very well thought-out. You can tell the owners have traveled to hotels and places with poor lighting and made sure this didn't happen on any of their properties (read my review for the Royal Kona Resort); there were many lamps and side-lights which you could use for mood as well as reading/packing. There's a gas fireplace you turn on with a remote, and it kept the room comfortable at night at the end of April, when temps went down into the upper 50s. There's no air conditioner as the temps up by volcanos are cooler. KITCHENETTE: Very well thought out, with small ceramic dishes, bowls, coffee cups, glass drinking glasses and wine glasses and silverware. I packed disposable paper plates because most places I've been to don't supply dishes/utensils, so this was a classy and nice surprise. There's a coffee maker with the inn's signature coffee blend enough for two cups; a mini-fridge with a freezer and a microwave. Breakfast is placed in the fridge daily for you so you can eat it whenever you want. First day it was 4 banana pancakes and a fruit platter. Second day was my favorite with "Volcano Blossoms"; eggs in a tortilla cup (vegetarian) or ham cup, which was very well thought-out and separated with waxed paper. My husband loved the egg in the ham cup. It was super tasty, wish I had the recipe! It also came with a fresh fruit plate. BATHROOM: The shower was a bit dark and small, but it's an old cottage and this was it's charm. There's a flexible shower hose that sometimes started making dripping noises at night, so I'd put the shower hose head down toward the floor and that took care of the problem. Shampoo/conditioner in dispensers on the wall. Mini bar soaps and fluffy, clean, amazing towels provided daily. Very comfy bathrobes also provided and we used those for the

Such a charming place! An old estate with unique cabins in a rainforest you'd never suspect was in Hawaii. It was delightful! The room was extremely clean and the bedding super comfortable. We had such a good sleep. The best hotel coffee I've ever had and a hot tub to take the chill off the cool dampness was great. A very high quality and enchanting experience.

This beautiful historic bed and breakfast is the perfect place to stay when visiting the Volcano National Park. It is just a short distance from the entrance of the park. You will step back in time as you drive into the rainforest oasis. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are impeccably clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast quiche was delicious with the plate of fresh fruit. Each unit has access to a hot tub. My husband and I felt like we were all alone in the rainforest. We will definitely be back. We stayed in the Papa bungalow because it had a king bed. We will probably try one of the cottages next time.

Great place to stay a mile from the entrance to Volcano national Park visitor center. Staff is great!

I highly recommend staying here. We stayed in the Hina bungalow for two nights and it was perfect. The room was super clean and I am a snob about that. Everything was luxurious and had a great feel. The property was beautiful. John was so nice and helpful checking us in. He gave us good recommendations regarding where to eat and we could tell he was just a very kind person. We loved staying in the rainforest. My husband and I were debating staying here vs the hotel/lodge Volcano House in the National park. We were both glad we stayed at volcano village estates instead for several reasons: 1. When we visited the volcano house for lunch, it was very chaotic with a lot of people whereas Volcano Village estates was serene and calm 2. VVE is so close to the park that being “in” the park didn’t matter 3. The room we had was much much much more luxurious 4. We got breakfast with our stay 5. I think for us it was cheaper at VVE than a room without a crater view at the volcano house
