wonderful place to stay in hilo, from our terrace we had both ocean view and Mauna Kea view.beautiful for an evening drink there. all basic cutlery and even paper plates available, bed was big and comfy, room very spacious with a large window and amazing view upon waking up very smooth check-in and check-out, no need to carry around keys

we liked everything about our stay...maybe just that a heavy suitcase is a bit of a challenge to get up that many stairs :-)

The location and views were excellent. It's a great spot to sit outside and enjoy a beer in the late afternoon. From Hilltop we were a few minutes walk (downhill) to central Hilo and in under an hour drive to the Mauna Kea observatory, Waipi'o, Kalapan and Volcanoes National Park. The house was very clean and there was option for a daily room service. The resident cat was a wonderful host and one who, I like to think, became a good friend.

There is very limited facility to cook and prepare your own food, which isn't the end of the world but means more waste in packaging should you want to eat at Hilltop. We took a lot of our rubbish with us, which we had already become used to doing on the island so it was no big deal. Atlas Recycling, in central Hilo, take most glass, tins/cans and cardboard. http://www.atlasrecyclingcenter.com/

I loved the Kona coffee. Everything was exceptional! We’ll come back. Plus I’ll recommend it to my friends. The stay was awesome. From chickens cat and landscaping was beautiful. Loved the balcony. We drove around the entire island. Stayed many hotels yours was the beast place offering privacy and beautiful views. Awesome experience!

Nothing. All good. Comfortable, privacy,and a good place to sleep.

The owner is a really nice guy, very kind and helpfull! The location at the hill's top is awesome, but of course, you'll need a car to get arround. The room's size is fine and the bathroom with very good size! The gardens and living room are cozy and really good taste decored! The check in and out is amazing, just put your code on the doors, awesome!

I would change the mattress because it's to much soft, and the bed linen for a hotel standard (all white).

Great location, fabulous views,lovely outdoor area, bird song,and the 2 friendly roosters and the cats.Owner and staff were very helpful and very responsive.

There was nothing that we didn't like.Took a while to get used to the coaqui frogs.

Loved the room and the covered patio! The view was terrific as well. Parking was tight, but acceptable. We would rent here again when going to the Big Island of Hawaii!

The bed was comfortable, but squeaked. It made being intimate in the Aloha state far less private than it should have been. Update the bed!

Was a lovely property, had many stairs, which I did not know about, was fine. But older folks need to know. Had a great outside lounge area we did not get to enjoy do to all the heavy rain.

Was no breakfast or, kitchen facilites, which was the main drawback of this location. The room and bathroom was small but adequate, just no counter space was the main issue. Would have been nice to have had a kitchen area to use.

Beautiful property, updated decor

It would have been nice to have a small microwave in the room to heat up leftovers. For a night or two, it’s not really needed, but we stayed for a week.

The location of the house and the apartment were as described. At first we did not find it, but a short call was enough and we were guided there. Just drive to the house on the street which is "on the Top". Easy! The view from the huge window of the apartment was impressive. Everything was available for making coffee. The entrance to the house and to the appartement was very easy, but safe secured.

We were a bit annoyed that there was no possibility for us to take a warm shower. The water was and remained cold. Although we complained about this the same day, it did not work the next morning either. But: the owner showed understanding and paid a reasonable amount back immediately.

The location and view was Exceptional! The host was very communicable with the whole checkin/arrival process. The house and room was very clean and quite. Being high up on the hill, we had a very amazing view of the sunrise over the ocean.
