Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea

Way overpriced and terrible. Horrible owner treats guests and his employees like dirt on the sole of his shoe. They try to squeeze every penny out of you. Owner will go out of his way to screw you in every way. "Breakfast" that comes with it is only and specifically two pieces of rotten fruit and $0.49 pre-packaged crap pastry. I paid for a "suite" (what a joke!) with a kitchen and coffee maker. They will provide Maxwell House coffee, but don't ask for more sugar packets. You will get exactly 4 sugar teaspoon-size sugar packets per day but only if you ask nicely several times. Vit no more than 4! The pillows are stained and full of dust and stink. The box spring is naked with no bed skirt or cover of any kind. The rugs are dirty and frayed, and the just-inside-the-door mat has no grip to it so I continually almost broke my neck until i put it away for me stay. The toaster is clogged with trash and so rusty inside that you may get Tetnus

Cabin was wonderful, shower is a bit small and showerhead almost not adjustable, but otherwise excellent stay. Very close to the Volcano National Park, which was why we stayed here. Everyday banana bread and some fruit, this was much appreciated. There are shops & restaurants, but not that many. Make sure to arrive on time to make your check-in hassle free and you can navigate to the cabin easily.

Quiet, peaceful, relaxed, comfortable. The bathroom is quite small. I would stay here again.

Great little cottage — perfect getaway for our stay-vacation. Walking distance to grocery store and good restaurants; short drive to National Park and golf course. Very peaceful and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for.

We love everything like the location, the cute cottage, the daily room cleaning, the welcome basket... but the 'musty' smell in the bedroom. There is only one window in the bedroom, obviously the ventilation needs improve, the bedroom needs to have a dehumidifier running 24 hrs a day, dump the water at least twice a day.
