We stumbled onto Kilauea Lodge thanks to The Big Island Revealed. We stayed one night at the Volcano House and switched the next night to Kilauea Lodge. The rooms are lovely, updated, and tucked into the rain forest about 2 miles from the Volcano National Park. No mildew. Best feature: the fabulous dining room. They serve the best meals we've... more

Oh dear. I'm about to provide a different view from those of most other reviewers but there you go. We were very impressed with the setting and ambience of the lodge; it has a lovely feel and the gardens are well tended and large. We found all the staff friendly and helpful e.g. torches provided for the evening volcano watch.... more

A former YMCA lodge didn't sound too inviting, but the many negative reviews of Volcano House (in Volcano National Park) on TripAdvisor led me to choose Kilauea Lodge instead, located in nearby Volcano Village. It turned out to be delightful--a large, attractive, well-furnished room, friendly staff, hot tub, beautiful landscaping, excellent breakfast, and all within a five minute drive of... more

We stayed at this property just for one night while on a 6-night vacation on the big island. We highly recommend splurging for a night at the volcano if you can - it allows you to see the volcano with plenty of time to spare verses trying to race up to the volcano in one day. Kilauea Lodge is a... more

This was our favorite place to stay while in Hawaii for 2 weeks.We loved the personal service. The breakfast is wonderful. The restaurant had the one of the BEST dinners we had in Hawaii also. I will always tell people to stay here. The location is less than a mile outside the park!!! We stayed at other great ocean front... more

Stayed in room #6 in Sept 09. Room was spacious and private. Romantic. Appropriate for a honeymoon. Breakfast was equisite. Served fireside. I have read previous reviews that included complaints about breakfast but I disagree. It was sufficient, and not worthy of complaint. Price was fair. This place is definitely your best option from which to hike and explore volcano.... more

Friendly staff. Rooms with fireplace(gas). Nice for the cold/wet evenings. Free WIFI available in the area of the Common room. Very clean. They have flash lights and umbrellas you can borrow for free. Breakfast is free, but portions/selection is very limited. We had to buy extra side dishes. (really the only complaint) Highly recommend it is you want to stay... more

We stayed two nights - one in Tutu's cottage (off property a few blocks away) and one in the Hideaway ( over the garage at the owners property next door). Both were absolutey charming and quaint and immaculately clean. We preferred Tutu's slightly because it was more spacious and secluded but were happy in both places. The staff is very... more
