Not having someone there was convenient and kind of odd at the same time. It’s a very creaky house due to its age. The price is the best I saw on the whole island. Pretty far from the bigger towns though.

This house hotel was great. Check-in was a breeze and the private and shared spaces were well maintained for an older property. The village of Volcano is quite small but had some great dining options. The property itself felt a bit isolated, and that was generally a positive for me. However, I could see how some could find its isolation a negative.

Near the national park entrance, not near anything else. Plan on doing a lot of driving if you stay here. The conecide would probably be best for most people. The house is small, the bathrooms are shared, very basic.

Superb Self-Catering in Volcano!
Volcano Hale is excellent at what it says it is, and I therefore give it 5 stars. It is not an Inn or an Hotel! It is, though, a fun, comfortable, eclectically decorated self-catering place. So you check yourself in to a spacious vintage house, cook your own food, share bathrooms, and (most importantly) you clean up after yourself. The bedrooms are quite nice. You will also meet lovely new people at the breakfast table, or when you return each evening from a thrilling day of peering into volcanoes. Highly recommended as fun, different, interesting, comfortable, and good value.

Property mostly unattended except for housekeeping and maintenance, I liked that. Very clean and maintained. We stayed a week and felt like a cozy little home and not at all like a noisy crowded resort. Uses water collected from rain stored in a tank so bring bottled water to drink or cook. It's on elevated land and even in summer the temps were cool and comfortable. Very close to volcano national Park and not to far to get to Hilo either. I'd recommend staying here and had the best price on the island.

Positives- location - this property is very close to Volcanos national park. The property is very isolated, make sure you have supplies before arriving. There was never any contact with the hosts, they ask you to write your CC info on a piece of paper and leave it in your room. No verification of guests is done, you simply pick up an envelope freely available at the front door and your off. I could have been anyone and grabbed the keys. There were only 3 out of 5 rooms occupied when i was there, so bathrooms were not an issue, there were plenty of towels available. A coach or sofa in the common areas would have made them more usable. All in all, a reasonable place to stay close to the park, just make sure to purchase any supplies before arriving. The local town/village of Volcano is not very well stocked. If you were disabled, this would be a difficult choice, it is an old house with staircases, so be aware of that.

Never saw any staff from checkin to check out, but didn’t need them at all anyways. Everything was ready when I arrived. Close to small town that has everything. Easy entry to the park.

The Volcano Hale is located in a quiet residential area, but it's super convenient for visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The shared bathroom turned out not to be an issue - I was never in conflict with any of the other guests at the property. Parking was convenient at this perfectly pleasant property. Check-in and check-out are simple and don't require any interaction with the off-site staff, so it didn't matter when I arrived or left. When I'm in the area in the future, I'll definitely consider Volcano Hale for my stays.

Nothing unique. Ok for the price. Quiet place but everything is quiet over there. Like the envelope with the information and the plan to reach the village and the Volcanoes Park. Bathrooms were perfect. A lot of towels, clean and full equip. Didn't like that we can NOT turn off or stop, while eating, the fan ceiling above the table. Really not cool. Also, if you provide coffee, then make sure you have sugar and cream, even if not real cream. Nothing there than just an empty basket.

I have stayed at the Volcano Hale many times and it has always been a very consistent, reliable and pleasant place to stay while visiting Volcanoes National Park. Great location in the town of Volcano and the Park is just minutes away. It is always clean and well maintained with a budget friendly price.

Charming and characterful
This is a heritage building surrounded by semi tropical gardens. Bedrooms are small but adequate but share a bathroom, not a problem for two nights with considerate neighbours. There is a communal room with a kitchen, useful if you arrive late. Fellow travellers are young couples and families. The situation is very convenient fo the Volcanoes National Park, five minutes away so seeing the park at night is easy. Restaurants are nearby. We loved staying here.

Ok for sleeping
Little difficult to find with an after hours check-in - dark roads not very clearly marked. Room was not near central office, breakfast was coffee (powdered creamer, no milk/cream), papaya & instant oatmeal packs. Ok if you're just sleeping there, but wouldn't recommend for families
