I spent three nights in the Volcano Hale in May, for  some hiking and general touristing in the Natl. Park.. I was extremely happy in Volcano Hale! It is a large house, built 1912 and very well kept. There are 5 guest rooms, three full bathrooms, a kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge/freezer and some pots/pants/plates/cups etc. and a very large common area.  All is shared (not the  rooms of course) and all is very nice and clean. Nicely decorated, too (the piano is only decorative which may be for the better :)). I was in room 311, at the  top floor and the view  through the  windows into the rainforest is spectacular

This is all no-contact and it worked well. Instructions were sent in time and easy to follow. 

Some tips: 

1) I  came from the Kona coast and was surprised how cool, no, cold it was in the  rainforest! I was quite cold the  first night. I emailed the owners (management?) the next morning and they told me where to find another blanket, and also how to use  the heater in the room. I  had seen it but  did not want to use it without explicit permission. After that, the  next two  nights were great.

2) Food: 

The bad news: Avoid the Kilauea General  Store! I paid $10.- for a loaf (16oz) of standard sliced bread, and another $10.- for a small piece (8oz) of Kraft cheese. Either of  them  would  have been $1.50 in a regular supermarket which of course does not exist up there. I noticed that the store does not  have any price tags on their merchandise. Now you  know why!

The good news: Just go Thai all the  way! There are 3 Thai places in Volcano Village. One is a sit-down restaurant (Thai Thai) where I  got dinner the first night. Excellent food (I lived many years in So Cal and believe that I know a little about Thai restaurants) and a fair price: less than $30.- for a portion that  would be enough  for two, or in  my case for dinner and breakfast the  next morning. The other two are food trucks. I went to Tuk Tuk Thai food truck, at the  end of Old Volcano Drive, and it was so  good I went back the  next day (my last). Excellent quality again, very friendly, and about half the  price. Didn't have a chance to  try the other food truck.

I will for sure go back to Volcano Hale the next time I'll be in the area!

A hidden gem in the volcanic rain forest

Exactly what I expected!  True Volcano Village living.  Super friendly process of booking and arriving.  Large room and clean bathroom, kitchen and entire house!  🏡.  Couldn’t ask for anything more.  Thanks Volcano Hale!  Would definitely recommend!

Living authentic Hawaiian 🌺 Volcano life for a full 7 days here!

Here's my review:  Stayed recently over the Easter weekend (4 nights) 

Bottom line: A great place to stay as a base for exploring the Natl. Volcanic Park for solo or couples - which is 5 min away.....This is more of a hostel type experience in an older house with shared bathrooms but a great economical stay. You may see some others registered guests sharing the kitchen and Frig etc. I stayed in room 311 (the upper part of 3 levels).  Anyway room was good - adequate for the stay in the upper Rain Forest (4000 ft) 

Constructive Feed Back - Suggestions for Mgmt. : (property co) 
#1) Front Door Lock - worked poorly and hard to manage (get to work) - either re-key or put some graphite in there
#2) Better trash pickup - piled up after awhile 
#3) Paper towels would be nice for kitchen area 

Pro: Super close to VNP main entrance + 5 min drive to Volcano General stores (2) 
Tips:  Very good Wood fired pizzas (Ohelo Cafe) - although sticklers for COVID protocols (as most places this is over - but to each of their own)- a very good place with good food - close 7pm  (I also like the general store next door - I went every morning for Kona Coffee - very good $2).  

Suggested trails in VNP : (most do) 
: Kilauea IkI Crater trail : 4 miles round trip - do as a loop (park in lot 2nd lot) 
: Chain of Craters Round - From rain forest to Sea Level - Sea Arch (suggestion - continue on another 1/4 mile from Sea Arch and visit Coconut Grove planted in the 1960s - I thought cool...
:NIght viewing of lava - (do 9 - 11 pm) - 1 mile each way 

+ suggestion ; bring a pair of binoculars -makes a huge diff in viewing night lave lake

Stay Volcano Hale Review - Base for Hawaii Volcanos National Park

It smelled like mold as soon as I opened the door. Not cleaned well with dirt or mold and cobwebs  on the windows. Mold growing on the paneling upstairs, ripped and stained  carpet. The hallway light switch was upstairs and the automatic light did not work. The bedding was clean, but the room needed to be updated a little. I did not feel comfortable staying there by myself and actually left.

Stinky and Dirty

I stayed two nights at Volcano Hale during a recent visit to Volcanos National Park. The check in / check out process was great! The property is in a quiet neighborhood just a few minutes from the National Park. The room and shared bathroom were clean and good sized. I would definitely stay here again!

Great stay at Volcano Hale!

The small house was well cared for and located in a secluded rain forest setting--quiet, birds abound and easy access.  Check in was simple with guidance of the owner.  The fireplace was a nice bonus in this cool and wet area.

This is a great place for 4 people in 2 bedrooms and spare fold-outs for kids--a peaceful bargain in this local area.  Thank you to the owners for this comfortable getaway! 

Lodging for a quick trip to Hawaii Volcanoes Natl Park

My room number was 311.  I believe it could have been an attic area back when the house was built in 1912.  My room wasn't fancy but it was cozy and the view from the windows were awesome!!  I arrived late at night, and  of course everything was total darkness outside.  I definitely made sure to close the curtains for my night of restlful sleep.  The firm mattress was exactly what I like to sleep on. When  I opened the curtains the next morning, it was  like I was in a tree house.   I stood there thanking God for his beautiful creation.  Everything was green and lovely!!  There was even a lemon tree laden with lemons.  I felt like I was the only one living in that house.  It was so quiet.  Just remember, it's not the "Taj Mahal", but for the price it made my visit affordable.  I was there 6 nights!!
