ボルケーノ フォレスト イン(Volcano Forest Inn)

Everything about Volcano Forest Inn is a scam. Please do your research before throwing your money away. Lack of hospitality, false advertising & a never ending list of rules with financial repercussions. PLEASE don’t support these places that are only in business for financial gain and nothing more. Do your homework before giving away your hard earned money.

This is not a traditional B&B. It is a bad Airbnb, complete with chores, fines, and signage everywhere. It is the most unwelcoming place I've ever stayed, truly taking the host out of hospitality. The only time I saw him was when he was when he was on his way out for errands, and he required that I pay the "cleaning and service fee" in cash or Venmo. Shady AF for a commercial establisment. Considering the general lack of cleanliness and service, I have my suspicions. In fact, if you aren't timely enough with this shady fee buried in the extra details of your booking, he locks you out. That's right. He prints your name in large, bold letters, tapes it to the front door, and deactivates your front door code. So, if you can't figure out how to access the walls of text you get from this place that are somehow unfindable in the ******* app, you can scan the QR code while you cool your heels on the porch of the place you've already paid hundreds to stay at. You would think a place that is so concerned about guest security (cameras, fine for leaving the patio door unlocked, COVID so the host is completely absent) would not misuse guests' PII so grossly. Just stay somewhere else. Seriously. If you have no other options, do try to read your multiple walls of texts carefully. They are accessible from an email with a link somewhere. Be prepared to make your own coffee, wash your own dishes, and find breakfast elsewhere. See my Google review for more details.

The Volcano Forest House is beautiful nestled in the rainforest of Volcano National Park. The rooms were very spacious with lot of privacy. The kitchen accommodations exceeded expectations of a B&B. The owners were so welcoming to me and my son. We look forward to our next visit to the Big Island as this will be a base camp for all our Island adventures. Mahalo

This property was in a super location and a great price right outside the gate of Volcano National Park as advertised. It was neat and clean for the most part but dated. Very quiet comfy large room. The zero human interaction check in and check out process was a bit dystopian and strange. did not feel very cozy or homey and felt like we were being watched remotely even though we probably werent. Never touched the food or kitchen because I didnt even really understand it. Felt more like a vrbo or air bnb and not sure if i would call it a hotel per se. thanks

Th Volcano Forest Inn was a good place to stay during our trip to the park. The best part was the proximity to the park. It was nothing fancy but we didn’t require it to be. We slept well but the bed was only average. We like the rain forest seclusion.

Spacious room conveniently located near Volcanoes National Park. The shared kitchen is also a nice feature as you can bring your own food to store or prepare, if you like. Jonathan at the property was friendly and helpful.

This place is more a hostel and it has big rooms but spars and the layout is okay. But it's run down and not very clean. Breakfast area is a mess and confusing. It's ridiculously expensive because you have no service and have to clean up after yourself if you want to eat breakfast, which is just really a breakfast snack and limited. And the wonder hiding fee for cleaning. Cleaning fee of $60. But this place is close to the Volcano National Park so that one good plus.

Very quiet and cozy INN, a great lanai, Jonathan was super helpful with any questions I had.

Adorable B&B very close to the Volcano Park. Quiet, comfortable and nicely decorated.
