Let's see… Mildew, mold, separating caulking & rotting wood in the bathrooms; a room vent that blows black stuff when turned on; a room that smells of urine; sheets that have stains on them and carpets that were worn out 10 years ago...and people rate this place a 4... Really! This is their superior room, I can only guess what... More

We spent the 2nd night of our two night stay on the Big Island at Uncle Billy's in Kona. The first night was at a run down hotel in Waimea for $120.00. So, we were extremely pleased to be able to find a hotel in the heart of Kona for $79.00 and nicer than the one in Waimea. The room... More

We live on the Hilo side of the Big Island and after weeks of winter rains we needed some sun. Friends of ours recommended Uncle Billy's and I booked a double room for $89.00 on the internet.When we arrived we were greeted by very friendly receptionist who gave us a free room upgrade before we even asked! The room was... More

Overall, it's a nice hotel offering free wifi access in the guest room, pool area, and free breakfast. which has papaya, coffee, juice, toast, etc. Parking is at the back of the hotel, cost $5 per day. That's a down side. The front desk people are very helpful for pointing out good spots for snorkeling, beach, etc. The room is... More

Spend 6 night and was pleasantly surprised by the good location, king size bed, nice deep round pool and a nice breakfast included papaya and English muffins. More

To be honest, we didn't stay at Uncle Billy's initially because of the negative reviews we read. So we booked into the Kona Seaside. Well they didn't have a lot of the ammenities that Uncle Billy's had, and were more expensive! The room was extremely clean. the king size bed was cushy comfy, with FIVE very fluffy pillows. There was... More

We spent our last night in Kona here on Dec 29, 2011 as we had an early morning flight the next morning. We booked it last minute for $89. It's a budget hotel that isn't fancy but the bonus was a washer/dryer on the 3rd floor where our room was located and thus I could do a laundry. We packed... More

Friendly front desk staff, good location in the heart of Kona and inclusion of continental breakfast (fresh fruit, toast etc) made for a great 1 night stay in Kona. Hotel is definitely older, however for the price, the room was more than adequate for our family of 4 as a place to rest our heads for the night. Our room,... More

I'm not a usual 2-star hotel customer... but, the selection was either this or something over $300 per night. I was expecting simple accommodations but this was pretty run down. On the positive side, we had a decent TV with an adequate number of channels, good water pressure, clean pool, sweet receptionist, and tolerable beds. On the negative side, the... More
