"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

" rooms very clean, had afternoon drinks at the bar,staff helpful in showing us all the breakfast, lunch, dinner menus. We had a very late lunch and it was to close at 400pm. We wanted to try the fish and chips and staff was very accommodating even though it was close to closing the lunch menu, fish/chips excellent, fish so fresh!! we're coming again for fourth of July weekend for our anniversary and looking forward to our trip again!!!"

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Not a bad location, close to nice restaurants and cafe, a short drive to downtown. Had the room at the end of the hallway with nice view of the bay. Building is old and need some renovations. Coin operated washerx4 and dryerx6 next to the lobby but have to buy detergent from store. Golf course across the street has terrible greens, but fairways are very good."

one bedroom Loft Apartment in the heart of Downtown Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for a week whilst visiting the eastern side of the big island and loved our time here! It has a 70s/bohemian vibe which mirrors downtown Hilo and is much larger than the photos. With 2 x double beds, a well equipped kitchen and decent bathroom and plenty of space to hang clothes it was ideal for us + you can use the washing machine/dryer in the entrance hallway in afternoon hrs. It’s above/joint on to Rainbow Jo’s shop and staff in the daytime were v.helpful. It’s also situated right by The Palace Theatre, Hilo farmers market and next to a bunch of restaurants, coffee shops and bars in downtown Hilo. There is a bit of noise (vans/general town noise) from the surrounding streets but we’re from a big city so it didn’t bother us! We don’t drive so it was useful to be so close to the bus station where you can hop on free buses all around the island. (It’s worth noting downtown Hilo has a bunch of unhoused ppl knocking around which is sad to see, but they weren’t bothering anyone or us) All in all this flat has been a perfect base for us to explore and if you’re creatives like us and looking for and unusual, retro space that’s great value for money, I would definitely recommend! Thanks for having us!"

Welcoming 2-bedroom house in the heart of Hilo close to good eats and must haves

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in this house! Check in was easy and Jennifer was very responsive. There were many fans which we placed near the doorways to create a draft which nicely cooled the house. Couch and bed was comfortable. We liked having a washer and dryer available. Was clean and bright. The next door rooster was our alarm clock but we were still on a different early time zone so he wasn’t a bother. Would definitely stay here again!!"

Tropical Oasis, Walk to Hilo`s Best Spots

10/10 Excellent

"The property was exactly how it was described on the pictures. I loved the privacy from the back of the cottage. The house was clean and had all the necessary items for cooking. It was quiet and exactly what we were looking for. Very close to downtown and restaurants. The one downfall was the 20 stairs leading up to the cottage. I ended up injuring my knee at the beach on the last day of our trip and struggled getting up the stairs. But I had the honor to meet the owner of the property. She was so very nice. She helped me with some of my things when we left. It was a pleasure meeting her. I definitely recommend staying here."
