Jon has a great place near Volcano National Park. The room was very clean and extremely roomy. The bed was comfy and waking up to see the lush ferns and flowers was great. There are snacks and breakfast drinks ready in the morning. I've stayed here twice now and will again on my next trip to Hawaii. Treat yourself to a wonderful pace to experience the big island

Jon was an excellent host. Property is 200 yards from a lightly traveled riad so very quiet. Surrounded by tropical forest only 1 mile from entrance to volcanoes national park and 25 minutes from Hilo. Room was huge, about 27'x21' with a private covered deck to listen to the rain and pheasants who occupy the surrounding forest at night. Building has a sgared common area with common kitchen. We never saw another patron and Jon was discreet. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries and have easy access to a fantasti park.

It was a great place off the beaten path, but easy to get there and the sleep was great because in the rainforest

Clean and quiet place. Not what I’d call an actual “B&B”. But he was upfront about that so it was what I expected. Definitely recommend it.

It was a very quiet and cozy place where you can drive to Volcano National Park only in a few mins. We stayed at VFI for 2 days so that we could fully enjoy the national park, and we totally did enjoy the whole experience!!
We were a little bit worried about where to grab our lunch and dinner. VFI kindly provided us great information about restaurants and grocery stores around Volcano, which made our stay so much easier!

Jon was very communicative and helpful!! The room was HUGE and just what we needed. We had the Ginger Room which had a nice lanai with sliding doors from the room.
So glad we brought our groceries. We used the kitchen and coffee was available in the morning.
Coin Laundry down the street.

I would definitely stay here again!!

I liked the location in the rain forest 🌳
I would have liked to have had a stopper
For the bathtub 🛀
I also think that you should add the two light bulbs to the bathroom light fixture! Empty sockets can be dangerous!

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 Expedia 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.

You get a room in a house and you share the kitchen. Convenient to Volcanoes National Park. Owner very nice. The house is secluded but not isolated.
Thought cleaning fee should be included in price, not as an extra.
