Sharon and Danny have a comfortable 4 room B and B rooms in a rain forest, close to Volcano National Park. Very reasonable accomdations . room had a microwave, toaster, and small fridge. Breakfast is stocked in your room, for you to enjoy. Baked goods, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee, with a basket with oatmeal, popcorn, ramen. Danny provides a unique […] tour of the lava tube right under the property, this was the highlight of the stay. If you are looking for ultra clean, sanitized accomdations, look elsewhere, if you want something unique, in a beautiful quiet setting, with character, look here. There is a hottub in the garden.

Very good location and fair value if you want to spend time hiking up in the NP. Owners were very hospitable and offered good local information........But upon our arrival, we had to search to find them to check in and get our room. Room was ground level and smelled musty, does not make sense to put carpet in a ground level room in a rainforest. Maintenance […] could have been stepped up a bit. Hot tub was operating but water appeared dirty. Read more

Hot tub was dirty. Expected more for the money. Staff was very friendly and room was very spacious.

This was a fantastic place to stay during our trip to the Big Island! The lodge is comfy and rustic, with very close proximity to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We were looking for a quiet, comfortable, convenient place to stay while in Volcano and this fits the bill, and then some, providing the most peaceful night's sleep of our trip. Dan and Shannon […] were gracious hosts and provided a very nice room, complete with an in room breakfast of yogurt, fresh muffins, oatmeal, juice, coffee/tea, and fruit. We were also able to take advantage of the lava tube tour the next morning, as well! Definitely not to be missed on your stay here, this lava tube is awesome, and Dan was a very knowledgable guide. He provided us with hard hats and flashlights for the tour and made sure to point out some really cool features of the lava tube. We did not get a chance to use the hot tub while we there, so we can't really review that, but it looked like it was in good shape. All in all, a really nice place to stay which we will definitely return to when we head back to Hawaii. Read more

Great location in a beautiful setting, but that is where the good times end. The grounds are pretty much a dump. The office is virtually unmarked making arriving at night a challenge. The room smelled musty, which is somewhat understandable given it is in a rain forest, but nonetheless unpleasant. Bathroom floor was dirty, lots of mold there as well. […] Breakfast was in the room, toast, yogurt and a partially used jar of jelly. The lava tube tour was actually pretty good. Stay here if it is the only option. Read more

The location is fantastic, but the accommodation itself is lacking. The lava tube was great. Place needs a good cleaning

Liked the privacy and sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day. In room breakfast nice we could come and go at our own schedule.

I was very excited to visit VNP and we planned to spend 2 days in the park. I wanted to find a B&B close to the Volcano and Aloha Crater Lodge is only a few minuted away, a very big plus. Unfortunately the accommodations were not very comfortable, rustic, and I felt too over priced!!! The room while clean, was not very comfortable, plastic yard chairs, […] TV only received a music channel, no light in the kitchen/bathroom area and the path to room could use some gravel to help with the mud. It was a little hard to locate the lodge keeper, who was very sweet. She brought us to our room and gave us a plate of burnt and stale baked goods, a basket of fruit for the next morning and a diluted pitcher of orange juice. I knew I would be hiking and chose the lodge because they advertised that they had a hot tub, they did not mention that the hot tub could only be accessed by climbing on a garden chair set by the side of the hot tub and then climbing over the edge to get in. I am only 5 feet tall and this entry was not possible for me. Read more

Shannon and Danny were great hosts. They treated us like family. The lodge is in a beautiful location, very isolated and lush. The room was comfortable, a bit musty, but with a homey charm. The breakfast included home made banana bread and jam. We enjoyed the hot tub and personal tour of the lava tube on site. We would certainly make a point of returning […] to the Aloha Lodge the next time we are in Hawaii. Read more

This is more like a lodge, where some one has converted rooms of their house to guest rooms. Nothing too great, and not too bad either. They have some small breakfast available (muffins, coffee, juice), but there is no kitchen.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great little B&B near Volcano national park. Quaint yet spacious room on second floor with a little kitchenette and jacuzzi tub. The folks that run this spot are super nice and helpful. The Lava Tube tour on the property is excellent!

It's not a marriott. But if you like a clean place to stay with very nice owners, then this is a place for you. Stayed one night the owners had the room clean and ready when we arrived. A continental breakfast ready for the morning. They offer a free lava tour. But it started to rain hard and we decided to get an early start. Additionally, very close […] and convenient to national park Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed here just to visit Volcanoes National. All we were looking for was a clean bed and a hot shower. This place served the purpose. The added advantage was that they have a lava tube on the property which the owners love to show. This was better than the lava tube in the National Park.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Lodge is an easy comfortable distance from HVNP. Our room was ready with all the amenities and the heat was on. We reached after 9:00 and nothing was opened nearby for eating, we had to resort to what was available in the room which was sufficient to sustain through the night. Since we reached directly to the lodge, it was not easy to locate the […] office which is behind the lodge. We had to call the number to reach the owners. Nice in room breakfast was provided and we left early. Read more

We stayed there for one night for Room type 1. The room is clean and comfortable, the bath room is very clean, which is important for me. It is not a fashion place, a tiny TV, weak internet signal. but it is quite and we enjoyed to wake up in the forest. we arrived around 7 pm so it was a little bit hard to find the place in the dark forest. The staff […] is very nice and helpful, we bothered him several times for extra towels, blankets, internet. He is patient and provide us additional fruits and cookies, because we have 4 people. The lava tube tour is awesome. It is much more than I expected when I booked it. I'm glad I didn't miss it. Read more

i stayed here with my 4yr old. it was our first time in hawaii and our first bed and breakfast. it was perfect for us. not touristy at all...it was in the middle of the rain forest, with a lava tube right in the front yard. very cool to be able to feel that freedom. short distance from the national park, which made it easy to commute back and forth […] (we rented a car)....it was a really cool trip.

we loved it! especially the lava tube tour the location is great if you want to stay near the volcano national park

Genuine Expedia guest review

These are really just a few rooms for rent, but they are great. Very charming... seems to be in a mountain cottage. Very romantic. But kid friendly as well... they even have a tree house for the guests. The location is phenomenal, inside the rain forest... very fascinating... just don't expect sun ;) We stayed just a single night, but I bet a longer […] stay would have been even more enjoyable.

Perfect place to stay for a night before going to Volcano NP. You will wake up and find yourself in the middle of a rainforest. Owners are nice and the stay includes a private tour of the lava tube under the property, which is better than the one in the park.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice B&B and the hosts were great. They provided everything u might require in the room. The neighborhood is beautiful but very isolated. So you might not find any general stores/ gas stations open after 7pm. the highlight of the place is the lava tube tour that is included for all guests.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed here for one night while touring the Volcanoes National Park. It's a great little place, complete with free simple breakfast (oatmeal and milk). The bathrooms are a bit small, but overall it's a cute little place, does the job decently. It's a bit pricey for what it offers, but hey, it's in the middle of the jungle. What can you expect? The […] owner/operator (I forgot his name) is very nice and even gave us a tour of the lava tube in his front yard. Totally recommended! Read more

The location and grounds were amazing and exceeded all expectations !

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Aloha Crater Lodge was great for the location. The room was clean, and comfortable. The bathroom could have used more lighting, but otherwise, this was a perfect spot very close to the national park. The owners were also very nice and accomodating. They gave us a bit of extra time for check out, so that was very helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Bed & Breakfast was a little more rustic than what we are accustomed to. Breakfast was yogurt and a small loaf of pineapple bread with coffee. No microwave to heat water for cocoa or tea.

Beautiful, slightly funky, but comfortable and spectacularly beautiful place. Then there is the lava tube!

Genuine Expedia guest review

A great little gem just a stone's throw from Volcano Natl Park. A tasty breakfast was provided in-room, providing flexible options for our family and its jet lag. The lava tube right on the property was far cooler than the highly manicured option in the park. Two thumbs up for awesome customer service all around.

the hotel is only five years old, built by the owners Dan and Shannon. the units are neat and tidy and the breakfast of fresh fruits, yogurt, granola, are brought to your room for your selection and leisure . Dan has a lava tube on property which he offers guests a private tour. Very cool! Both owners are very knowledgeable of local sights and will […] help you make the most of your time there. Hard to find on a a road only 1/2 mile from Volcano Nat'l Park entrance, but the convenience to park and local restaurants cannot be beat. Read more

Very nice place in the middle of the rainforest. Lavatubes on site

Situated 2 miles from the entrance of volcanoes national park, is a quaint bed and breakfast, located in the rainforest, that has comfortable rooms, a private lava tube to explore, and beautiful surroundings. The owners are very freindly, and helpful, along with their freindly dogs and cat. The room is adequate with a small refrigerator and a television […] with cable. I highly recommend this b&b.

We stayed at the Lodge for one night and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It's nicely maintained and clean. The lodge is located in the middle of a rain forest which is pretty neat. It also comes with a tour of a lava tube that is better than the one in the park. Breakfast was very substantial and included fresh fruits, homemade banana bread, yogurt, […] juice and milk. The beds were comfortable. The home was built from the ground up by the owners and has its own quaint charm. There is a outdoor jacuzzi, which means you get to soak in the hot tub in the middle of the rain forest. The lodge is in Volcano Village which is a mile away from the park, a perfect home base to explore the park. Read more

It's not a 5 star but it's cozy. Only a few units, away from a major road. Access by a small road. Family owned and family athmosphere. Fruits, milk, juice, some instant noodles and breakfast provided. Breakfast are basic things but enough and if you need more you only need to ask. Lava tube on site. If you want, the owner will take you there. Very […] close to Kilauea. Read more

Very close to the park, so it was very convenient. The room was adequate for a place to stay, as there are not many choices in the area. The biggest problem - the room was very musty smelling, even made it difficult sleeping. The host was friendly though, showed us around a little bit when we arrived.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Clean, no frills room. Friendly owners. I'd recommend the Lava Tube tour. Better than the one at the national park.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a nice property, near the entrance to volcano national park. It is kept up well, and has a little hot tub after a long day hiking to use. The owners are really nice and accomodating. The room was huge and had its own little kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker and some continental breakfast items (oatmeal, pastries, coffee). […] We went on their lava tube tour in the morning, which was really neat and gave us a nive little send-off for the day. There aren't a lot of dining options in the area, but we found a few nearby that were pretty tasty. This was a really easy place to find, the gps took us right to it! We would stay again if we were in the area. Read more

This lodge was very close to the Volcano National Park which made it a really convenient place to spend the night - especially after staying in the park to well after dark to see the lava. Also, the lava tube tour given by the owner was a neat and unique experience.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very close to the park which was nice. The females (wife,daughter,granddaughter) were a little in shock at first sight of this place. They were use to resort life in Kona. This place was clean and perfect for our one day stay. Not many places to dine around here. lava rock cafe was ok. I would recommend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The bed and breakfast is comfy. The hosts offer a unique tour of a lava tube that runs under their property. We especially liked the tour and the jacuzzi!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very simple accomodations set in the middle of a beautiful rain forest. Make sure you allow some time to walk the property to look at all the flowers and take the Lava tube tour the owner provides.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great place to stay if you love nature. This bed and breakfast is located minutes from Volcano National Park.
