This small property is the perfect spot to stay overnight by th entrance to Volcano National Park. It is a house with only a few rooms and back in a jungle like setting. They even have their own lava tube that goes under the house. I'm not used to how quiet this area was. It would be great for people... More

If you want a hotel experience or a quaint B & B experience like many in the East Coast of the USA, don't stop here. If you are looking for some seclusion, close area to the Volcano National Park and a place to rest your head for a couple of nights, this place should work for you. Our room was... More

My father and I really enjoyed our stay at Aloha Crater Lodge. It is an unique experience. I would describe it more as a bed and breakfast, maybe. I guess I would agree, this is not for everybody. If you decide to stay here, it should be with the understanding that you're looking for a unique stay in the middle... More

The property sits in a lush rain forest area and is very close to Volcano National Park. The highlight of the property is the lava tube. The owner will give you a guided tour of the tube, and provides lights, hard hat and excellent commentary on the tube and points out the items that you would have missed on your... More

We are currently staying at The Aloha Crater Lodge in Room 4 up stairs. It is fantastic, everything we need and such value for money. If you need 5 star accommodation & were born with a silver spoon in your mouth then you won't like it. However if are a normal person who wants a good priced, quiet, well furnished... More

We are back from two weeks on the Big Island and decided to rent a vehicle and do our "own thing" mostly. After two days in Kailua-Kona, we drove south seeing sights and knew from friends we needed to try to stay in Volcano if we could. Found Aloha Crater Lodge online and they did have a room available so... More

I'm writing this review 3 months after my stay there as part of a very intensive 4 months trip around the world. The fact that i feel the urge to write about it so long after my stay speaks by itself. We chose the place as being located very close to the entrance to the Volcano National Park. After Landing...

Me, my wife, and daughter were going to stay here for one night. We were staying on the Kona side of the island at a resort. We booked this B&B for one night so we could get as much time in as possible at the Volcano National Park. We were running late because of all the sight seeing stops on... More

We called Shannon, one of the co-owners, in the afternoon explaining that we would be late arriving. She provided us with clear instructions. When we arrived exhausted after a long hike to see lava flow we were pleasantly surprised that our room was well decorated, very comfortable and well supplied with the food (orange juice, milk, yogurt, butter in the...
