alloggio in famiglia nella provincia di Hawaii, Stati Uniti d'America

Questo posto non era affatto come le foto o le descrizioni su Trip Advisor. Inoltre, era convenientemente situato per visitare i parenti vicini, e la stanza era grande con un forte (e benvenuto) condizionatore d'aria; in tutti gli altri aspetti era deludente o peggio. Anche se eravamo li' per 10 giorni, non c'era nessuna pulizia, rimozione di spazzole, ecc. Sfondo di sfondo era stato cancellato in diversi luoghi, così potevamo vedere attraverso il piatto delle vecchie lastre di legno. La TV era piccola (forse 14” o 15” diagonale) e troppo lontana dal letto (o da una sedia) per guardare. Quando abbiamo chiesto di prendere le lamiere e gli asciugamani freschi, questo era lasciato alla nostra porta due giorni dopo, in entrambi i casi le lamiere erano antichi e filati. La foglia di sostituzione (come la prima era la dimensione sbagliata, non c'era specchio nel bagno, non c'era un coperchio per sapone, ecc. nel doccia, il ”mattito” era asma: pane bianco, senza burro, senza salsa, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza gioielli, senza un'uova (singola) è stata fatta per ordinare un uovo (come difficile è scramblere un uovo?) e un ***** di cartaceo, bacon economico. Parcheggio limitato fino a quattro auto, in spazi insufficienti che comportavano un rischio costante di spazzatura. Una volta bella, ora senza giardino, e una piscina con foglie, la maggior parte dei giorni non c'era nessun personale visibile. Purtroppo, questa è una volta bella proprietà, per lo più andata a semina.

Hilo to me is an agreeably funky place and this accommodation is perfectly in line with that impression. It is set a bit away from the city's downtown, such as it is, in a residential area. The property itself must have once been a residence itself, and is divided into two parts, the original lodge and an annex across the street. We stayed our one night in the annex in a double room, which was equipped with its own bathroom, a microwave and lots of storage space, but no television--for that you had to access a common area, which also had a small kitchen. Definitely the place must have once been a house. The front desk is not open all hours and you have to time your arrival to accommodate this, but the staff member we met was extremely friendly and helpful. Arnott's also runs tours to various parts of the island that leave from the premises, one of which (up Mauna Kea to the observatories) we'd accessed several years prior. All in all Arnott's would probably not be your cup of tea if your idea of a Big Island vacation is the glamorous resorts on the Kona side, but for us the laid-back, peaceful atmosphere was perfect.

We stayed in room 106 for 2 nights. Very quiet and cute little place, but didn’t quite seem as nice as the pictures online portrayed. Although the place was cute it was not functional. The kitchen was tiny, we had to move chairs around to open the fridge, and the Sink was hardly accessible. The whole place just felt claustrophobic with unnecessary walls making the place feel smaller. The double shower is what we were most excited for. Unfortunately the floor is deteriorating and the bathroom seemed quite tacky. I have attached images below. There were also pictures of a bathtub and a hot tub online which were not present on the premises or included in our room with no option of upgrading. There were some issues we had while staying which made us pretty upset. The second night we were sleeping and woke up to a fire alarm going off at 11:30 pm. The smoke alarm was out of battery and needed to be changed. We brushed that shock off to the side and said whatever. But the worst part of our stay happened the day of checkout. Checkout is at 11am but we heard the housekeepers coming to clean earlier. That makes sense some people choose to leave much earlier than the required checkout time. Although checkout is at 11, at 9:45am they shut our water off completely. We couldn’t flush the toilet, wash our hands, brush our teeth, or make coffee. That is absolutely ridiculous as they didn’t inform us of any reason why the water would be shutting off and in the agreement it clearly states 11am checkout. What made it even worse was that we heard a knock on our door around 10:15am to which I said “hello” loudly. Then we heard her unlocking the door and coming in. I had to say “we are still in here” for her to leave. Crazy! Definitely an invasion of privacy and truly shouldn’t happen when we were the only guests on the premises. You have 4 hours until the next guests arrive do you really have to turn the water off and come into our room in order to shoo us out early? There is almost nothing to do in volcanoe so I would highly recommend staying in Hilo and making the 30 minute drive to the national park as a day trip since you can see all of Kilauea anyway in one day! (Unless you’re gonna do the 3-4 day hike up Mauna Loa).

We don‘t understand many of the poor reviews. The place could use a little additional TLC, but we found it quite clean and comfy. Furthermore, while it is off the main road, it is still convenient to the National park. The price is also right, especially considering the high cost of everything on the Big Island.

This 102 yr old home, now B&B, was the perfect experience. From meeting us at the car and carrying our bags in, to all the amenities, to the great menu choices for breakfast, the friendly tips on places to go, where to eat diner, it was wonderful. The rooms were beautiful wood paneled luxury. Tastefully decorated and furnished. Within 10 minute walk to downtown. Quiet. Plenty of parking. Literally perched over the ocean. No A/C wasn’t a problem…the ever present ocean breeze was all that was needed . The sound of waves gently breaking below our room led to blissful sleep. Highly recommend. Grab the largest room if available…includes a cozy nook for relaxing.

We booked a last minute unit at the Aloha Junction Guesthouse when our other hotel fell through after traveling from Japan and driving all the way up to Volcano. The owner of the Aloha Junction Guesthouse was so kind and compassionate about our situation and was able to book us in their cozy and welcoming Pele room. The King and Queen beds were very comfortable and the two full bathrooms were a nice amenity since we had 3 adults in the room. The cozy fireplace warmed up the room instantly. In the morning we enjoyed the coffee, french toast and granola that was provided. We enjoyed a delicious Thai dinner in town as well. We will definitely be back!

We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast. It is minutes away from the Volcano National Park and not far from other attractions like Hilo or Papakolea Green Sand Beach. My husband and I stayed in the Ohia Ranch room. The location was quiet and private with lots of animals (goats, sheep, donkey, ducks, hens, etc.). It was fun to sit out on the balcony and watch the animals (or go down and pet them). The king bed was very comfortable and had a heated blanket on it as an option. There are lots of windows for great sunshine. Every morning, Theresa would bring a delicious breakfast to the room per your request/order. There is a table/chairs in the room to eat; plus the balcony has a small table. The breakfast omelets were incredible. Theresa also has many extras in the room like beach towels, robes, slippers, picnic basket, heating rack for towels and drinks. The information book had lots of ideas of where to go along with restaurant suggestions. We found all of them incredible. She also sent detailed instructions to get there. Overall, Theresa was a warm and wonderful host who helped us with any questions and offered great suggestions.
