Loved the proximity to the Wailoa River State Rec Area

The condo provided us with a nice, cozy accommodation that suited our needs. The view just a few steps off the doorstep was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed the pool and everyone we encountered during our stay was very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay in Hilo!

Everything was good, would be better if the bed pillows were better quality. Very uncomfortable, I ended ended up using a towel as a pillow. Instruction booklet as how to use the counter top oven would be helpful as well. Had to google to find instructions. The room and neighborhood are just as the photos show. Close to town and restaurants. Excellent ramen near by. The tv has Netflix which was nice.

The Pool was great, we liked the feral cats, chickens and ducks roaming the property. It was quiet, close to restaurants and shopping, easy to get to the beaches, downtown and highways. The Hosts were pleasant and accommodating. We didn't use any of the cooking facilities but it was nice to know they were available if we wanted to cook.

Dated

Even though the property is a bit dated, the accommodations were nice, clean but a bit noisy. Loved being able to leave the screen doors open, loovered doors closed and listen to the rain all night.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
We were only there during the night. We didn’t use a lot of the amenities there, but it was very hot. The AC vent was meant to go outside which meant we had to leave the sliding door open. We didn’t feel safe doing that, so we slept in the heat. The cleanliness could be improved. Stains on the walls, dirty shower curtain liner, and dust almost everywhere in the unit. It was more visible on the ceiling fan.

We had an excellent stay at the Waiakea Villas. The room was comfortable and the amenities were excellent. Check-in was by lockbox, but it was easy to use. There is a State Park just around the corner which was a nice place to walk in the mornings. The room does not have central A/C (like many places in Hawaii) but it did have a portable unit. We did not find instructions for how to use the portable unit in the room's guest guide, but eventually figured out that there is an outflow pipe for hot air that needed to be wedged between the sliding doors to keep it in place. If you close the screen doors completely in front of it, there is no worry about bugs (the balcony/porch is also screened in). Also, be careful that the drip pipe doesn't fall out of the machine and leave a puddle on the floor. One tiny issue was that coffee grounds had been left in the coffee maker from a previous guest, but otherwise the place was spotless.

Mommy daughter trip

My daughter and I stayed for two nights in the ground floor studio. As we were not driving but taking the bus, we were happy to find out that we could get within a few blocks. On foot the location is somewhat tricky to find. We used the address and that left us at the wrong side of the pond. Once we got to the place it was cutely decorated and stocked with what you would need. The studio can be stuffy, so be sure to use the fans provided and get instructions. We discovered that we could walk downtown though it was at least 30-45 minutes walk. Bikes would make this easy. Hilo is a cute town with good food. The bus is free and we took it to the beach and the airport. Overall this was an affordable, safe, quiet place to stay. Not fancy but cute. Not in the center of it all but close. When we had questions we got gracious help from our co-host. Great for budget travelers and simple duos.

The room was clean and simple, all we needed for a stay where we were out and about the vast majority of the day. The kitchenette came complete with a microwave, dishes, and even an air fryer which was greatly appreciated. Especially the water filter we could put into the fridge to get really cold water. My only complaint was the chicken that apparently roosted somewhere near our building and would scream at all hours of the day and night.

Great Location- close to Edith Kanakaole Stadium

Location was close to Edith Kanakaole Stadium, wish the area of the Villas weren’t as sketchy. Cleanliness could’ve been better. Studio had portable AC but would need to have the sliding door open because of the flex tube. Communications with host was great.
