Top Mauna Kea Observatory Hotel Reviews
Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
6/10 Okay
"The rooms were clean but our shower knob broke off and couldn’t be put back on. The interior of it was completely rusted. When checking in the lady was rude and showed no aloha or care. The restaurant had great food and the severs were amazing!"
The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls
10/10 Excellent
"Perfect in every way. Gorgeous property, soothing waterfall and comfortable accommodations. "
Hilltop Vacation Rental
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful space, incredible views and close to Rainbow Falls and the Farmers Market.
Older home with limited supplies (towels and washcloths) but we really enjoyed our stay."
Fairmont Orchid
10/10 Excellent
"Our check in was incredible. We got to check in early, we requested an upgrade and were given a room that was available. They left us a gift in our room for our Babymoon. The staff were exceedingly friendly at every level, and the room servicing was efficient and amazing. We had a wonderful spa day during our stay and our only note there is that it’s only missing a cold plunge. Food was amazing at Brown’s and the breakfast buffet is really good as well as the happy hour —shoutout to Christian at the bar who made us a custom drink and wrote it down so we could request it even when he wasn’t on shift. Great snorkeling with complimentary equipment for 1 hour (which is more than enough to see all the amazing fish, coral, and sea turtles). Very family friendly and we can’t wait to come back with our kids."
Paniolo Greens At Waikoloa

Castle Waimea Country Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Parking is free, safe. Just 120 yards from intersection at 90 degree turn.
It is about 20 minutes drive from the coast, the only drawback."
Kikala Waterfall Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, comfortable stay"
Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection
10/10 Excellent
"The whole experience at Mauna Lani was top-notch. Food is terrific (especially Canoe House; fabulous meal and service!), hospitality was warm and welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable with an incredible view, the golf courses and pools and beach amenities were five-star, and the overall vibe was relaxing and posh without being pretentious. Excited to return…hopefully soon!"
