This is a beautiful lodge. We stayed for two nights while visiting the volcano park. The rooms are all separate and are very private. The lodge is beautifully designed and decorated with tranquility and relaxation in mind. We stayed at the Kilauea room which has three of the four sides made completely of glass, so you can see only trees and vegetation from the room. The towels are thick and the bedsheets are super soft. The bathrobes are thick and soft, at once, and keep you quite warm. They also have a jacuzzi in the property.
At night it is dark but parking and walking around is easy with the dim lights they have.
The service is wonderful. They start communicating before arrival via text and they are super friendly and responsive.
They provide the breakfast the evening before, and it is made in a way that is super easy to heat in the microwave. It is very well done and the breakfast is really good the next morning. My only suggestion is to add a pastry like malasada and bottle of juice to complete the breakfast. They do provide tea and Kona coffee, and water.
It is five minutes from the volcano park. The Village is quite small and it does not have too many options for lunch or dinner, they close around 8 pm and there are just a couple of general stores. Hilo’s restaurants are about 40 minutes away, each way. So plan accordingly.
When we come back to Volcano park, we’d love to stay at the Volcano Village Lodge.

We stayed here for my daughter's senior trip and loved every minute! The location is gorgeous- we loved feeling like we were sleeping in the middle of a rainforest.
The internet is slow, but that was part of the charm as we unplugged and enjoyed our time together. There was wifi and we were still able to do everything we needed to with our phones. We also borrowed a DVD for one evening.
Our room had a fireplace, which we were very grateful for. Pack a sweater, because the volcano area can get chilly.
The owner was so kind- we ran into him and chatted a couple of times during our stay, and they were great about keeping in touch to see if we needed anything.
We would love to stay here again!

We had a lovely stay at Volcano Village Lodge for our honeymoon. It was private, peaceful, clean, and the staff were kind and responsive. It’s a short drive to Volcano National Park, which was wonderful! It was also a reasonable price with yummy breakfast included.

Absolutely loved our time here. Spent 3 nights relaxing in the rainforest, waking up to a delicious breakfast, and then exploring the volcano. Really appreciated the fact that they could accommodate my food allergy! Charlie was a pleasure. Stay here. You won’t regret this unique experience!

It was a perfect stay near the national park for our honeymoon! The room was beautiful and the whole place is so quiet and secluded in the rainforest. Breakfast each day was such a treat, too! Highly recommend staying here for some relaxing and recovering, especially between hikes at Volcanoes! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Had a great overnight stay in the Hale Kilauea cabin. The view was wonderful, the bed was comfortable, everything was clean. The fruit and breakfast provided also exceeded expectations. Very close to Volcano National Park and other small shops/food while still feeling like you're not surrounded by people.
Would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful hotel with a great location! The only thing I’d call out that needs improvement is the staff and the hospitality. Also important to note, even though most hotels give you a grace period of ~10 mins for checkout, here they won’t. They’ll charge you a $75 late checkout fee after 11am on the dot, so watch out for that!

Our room was perfect! I forget which one it was but it was the smallest. The view is priceless and Carlos went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. From printing maps to bringing us ice, wine and great conversation. An absolute unforgettable experience. Mahalo, Carlos! Jaylen & Julie 😊

A truly magical stay in a gorgeous jungle bungalow with just the sound of birds and frogs at night!

Comfortable beds, friendly service. Don’t want to sound fussy, but breakfast was mildly disappointing (microwaving omelette or pancakes is really not great - even using paper towels, just all wet).

We had a fabulous time on the island of Hawaii. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Volcano Village Lodge. We were looking for a more remote, relaxing experience away from the typical hotel/resort setting. Volcano Village Lodge delivered! The setting was perfect, we were emersed in a jungle all around our rooms with neat boardwalks and pathways that our grandchildren enjoyed exploring. The included breakfasts were tasty, and the staff were phenomenal. If you want to get away from the tourists traps, stay at the Volcano Village Lodge!

This is a wonderful place to stay, just outside the entrance to Volcanoes National Park. We stayed in the Mauna Loa room, which was absolutely gorgeous. The space was exquisite, the sheets were the softest I've ever slept in (with a heated mattress pad), and the in room fireplace was extremely comforting. We loved our stay here and it was a great place to return to after being out exploring all day. Staff were wonderful, food was delicious and they truly think of everything.

Absolutely loved our stay in the Mauna Kea Lodge at this quaint bed and breakfast. Reservation process was easy and had great communication from the staff leading up to the trip. Check-in and check-out process was flawless. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Truly felt like a magical stay! We fell asleep to the sounds of rainforest and breakfast each morning was delightful. Soaking in the hot tub was a must after hiking all day at the National Park. We added the Aloha bag option. It did not include the souvenir cooler with the lodge logo or the smaller souvenirs listed on the website, only the snacks. I was saddened by this but it did not change my experience. We had a delightful stay!

We had a wonderful time at the volcano village lodge! The entire staff was friendly and helpful and the Mauna Loa lodge was great for the four of us and the breakfast each morning was delicious. Perfect location to do some hiking in the national park and then relax in the peaceful setting at night. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable!
