Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea

We were in Hilo visiting family and decided to stay here due to its previous reviews. When we first enter the cabin, we immediately were hit with a musty odor. Upon further inspection, we noticed areas in the kitchen that had food. The toaster had crumbs, and the sink had something in it. The towels were damp due to the interior humidity. The rooms were dusty. Some of the positives, the staff were nice and friendly, the water was hot, the cabin location was quiet and beautiful.

I loved this place, stayed in August with my adult children, plenty of room, loved sitting outside in the mornings, star gazing at night. Extra nice touch of fruit and muffins for breakfast, thanks to everyone for making this a memorable vacation!

Very good experience of being out in the wilderness. Warm and cozy place to stay with family. Loved how close it was to VNP.

Staff was super friendly. The room was clean and neatly decorated. They were considerate and proved us a snack and was generous with the coffee (which u don’t see often) I would return with my family on future trips and definitely recommend this place.

Had a great stay with extended family. 2 bedrooms and the kids loved the loft!
