The breakfast was not what we expected. In fact, I don’t think anyone in our party ate anything. We had one person with a nut allergy, so the granola bars were out of the question.

I guess I expected more of a bed and breakfast, which it wasn’t. The inn is very rustic. The owner, Jon, was very nice, but sent us several very “strong” emails the day before we were to check-in about check-in and check-out and penalties for not following the “rules”.

Perfect starting point for the Volcano Park, only 5 minutes from the entrance but literally in the forest so very quiet. Restaurants and shops within 5 minutes by car. The Lodge has a very well equipped kitchen available if you want to prepare your food by yourself. Jon the host ensures that the whole Inn is always very clean and tidy and he is also very helpful when you need anything.

It was a wonderful and cozy place with an AWESOME bed! The cold temperatures at night were enough to make even the hardest sleeper pass out into dream land.

Extremely tiny thing was the turn into the property felt a little narrow. No issues but might need adjustment.

Very cozy big room, and lots of fruit available for breakfast! Not so far from the Volcano Parks Visitor Center either, yet still tucked away private in the jungle. Jon was so quick to respond and very helpful as well. Awesome spot to stay for a night or more! :)

Be prepared to be in a moist jungle, most buildings in the area may have some dampness. I just closed the windows and turned on the provided space heater to help though. :)

Delightful little 5-room B&B surrounded by jungle and 5 minutes' drive from Volcanoes National Park. Room was extremely spacious (largest hotel closet I have ever seen) and came with a balcony. Hotel was quiet, and the communal kitchen and dining space was well maintained and well equipped.

The first night was fine, but as the weather turned a bit colder and rainier, it got quite chilly in our room at night, even using the provided space heater and even though we brought some warmer clothing for our time in Volcano. The provided breakfast was quite minimal in variety and quantity, so if you weren't there early, the other guests had already eaten most everything provided. I suggest stocking up on your own breakfast ingredients before leaving Hilo or Kona, as it's slim pickings in Volcano and at the hotel.

Really good common areas - kitchen, living room, etc. Room was huge, location really good for the National Park.

A lot of rules posted everywhere - mostly common sense, but it makes you a bit antsy.

The Volcano Forest In is a small quaint lodge located just outside the Volcanoes National Park entrance. The host Jon was quick to respond and made checking in and out easy. Room number 3 was spacious, clean and comfortable. It had a large patio door that opened to the front of the lodge and a spacious seating area. The room boasted a large closet and a bath shower combination. A bonus was access to the full kitchen and living area with a TV. Free breakfast was fabulous with home-made waffles, oatmeal, local fruits and hot tea and coffee. There was plenty of room in the shared fridge for our to-go containers.

Can't think of anything.

Really nice to have coffee, fruit and baked goods. Great location near the park. Spacious, clean rooms.

We really didn't understand how damp and sticky the place would feel. Wierd having so much stuff in the fridge.

Our room was very spacious. The best thing about Volcano Forest Inn is the location. You are a 1.5 miles from Volcano National Park and a very short drive into the village. The restaurants are really good, and the vibe of the entire location is wonderful. Birds are abundant, and although we didn't have a chance to explore art or the winery, we loved everything about the location. The Inn was also very quiet, and the host was so nice and knowledgeable about the area. We used this location as a stopping off point to black sand beaches, waterfalls, Kailua-Kona, Mauna Kea, and Hilo. If you are staying for more than 3 days - this is a great spot! Coffee was great and breakfast always had fresh fruit.

I misread and thought there were refrigerators in the room. There are not, but there is a large one in the common kitchen.

Great location; reasonable price; large, clean, comfortable room. Remote check-in was a little odd, but we met one of the co-owners the next day and he went out of his way to make sure our stay was comfortable. We stayed here so we could experience the lava at night and we were not disappointed.

Check-in requires PIN code which was no problem but other guest trying to access the property was confused.
