10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay at the Volcano Forest Inn. The large room, access to the full kitchen/common area, the quiet location surrounded by the rainforest, and the private deck allowed us to enjoy a relaxing visit. The inn has a great location just outside the national park. We were able to stop at several places before they became busy. There was a good amount of information on the area and a tv with current info on the volcano. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Overall, it was a great visit that I strongly recommend.

It was a nice property overall! The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but you can’t beat the proximity to the park! Very nice owner will work with you for what you need!

Great location
Todd, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property is very basic. No glasses or tissues in the bathroom, although glasses are available in the shared kitchen. The host, Jon, is very friendly. The location, as shown on Google maps, is incorrect. Better instructions before arrival are essential. The beds are comfortable but the bedding is too heavy for the climate. This is an acceptable choice but is only okay, not great. $80 cleaning fee for a basic room is excessive.
Aidan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location. Seriously about 2 miles from Hawaii Volcanic National Bank. Check in with code so no time restraint. There are snacks available all day. Room is spacious and clean.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Secluded spot, large rooms, helpful owner

The rooms are very large - I could easily have slept in the walk-in closet - and the kitchen on site was very convenient. The hotel is set back quite a ways from the road and the site is quiet. The owner was lovely and let me borrow a garden hose after our rental car got covered in volcano debris - very much appreciated, and definitely above and beyond!

Great spot to stay when visiting Hawai'i and Volcanoes National Park! Super helpful check-in instructions and the breakfast in the morning is just what's needed for long days hiking!

Secluded and surrounded by the forest lends a quite, restful feel to the inn. Conveniently located just a few miles from volcanoes national park and the gracious proprietor made for a great visit!
Billy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Having booked this online, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The inn is in the rainforest, and very charming. Our host greeted us upon arrival and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Everything was very clean, spacious, and conveniently located to Volcano National Park. I highly recommend staying here.

Quiet and cool

It was good. But the place is aged, old spring mattress and no hand soap. But quiet and cool after a hot day.

Volcano Forest Getaway

2 miles outside of the National Park. Like a self serve bed and breakfast. Clean, spacious, comfortable and so quiet. Breakfast of fruit, toast, oatmeal, granola bars and some pastries. It was fun chatting in the kitchen with other guests. It has a great homey vibe. Large kitchen fridge to hold your groceries. It worked great for us for two nights.

It was a great place off the beaten path, but easy to get there and the sleep was great because in the rainforest
Patrick, 3-night trip

Beautiful property, spacious property, kind staff.
Kelly, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

This property is conveniently located near the national park, making it an excellent base for hiking and exploring. While the space was generally comfortable, there was a noticeable musty odour, which seems understandable given the damp climate around Volcano. The area and property itself offer limited amenities, including breakfast, so it’s important to come prepared. As such, I would recommend bringing your own essentials, as the property may not provide everything you might expect. Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone prioritizing proximity to the park.
Jamie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

John is an excellent host, and the room and public areas were lovely. It was comfortable and inviting, clean and convenient to the park. We heartily recommend Volcano Forest Inn
Lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A quaint Inn in the truest sense. Secluded, access to a full kitchen, well-appointed rooms, great host. And if you want to visit Volcano National Park, you really can't beat the location!!

10/10 Excellent

Jon has a great place near Volcano National Park. The room was very clean and extremely roomy. The bed was comfy and waking up to see the lush ferns and flowers was great. There are snacks and breakfast drinks ready in the morning. I've stayed here twice now and will again on my next trip to Hawaii. Treat yourself to a wonderful pace to experience the big island
