This place was so much fun! We met friends from South Korea, the mom and the daughter in the family team, and some really nice nieghbors. We sent some friends their way, it was so lovely. We did have trouble understanding how to fill the tub with hot water but that was on us, we didn’t listen close enough.

Great location, space and host! Breakfasts were delicious too! Mahalo Sarah!

B&B was as described and in a great location. Sarah was helpful with suggestions on volcano hikes and restaurants. She made an awesome breakfast each day, and always had it ready right at 8 am sharp, as promised!

My partner and I stayed at the lava pond lodge for 3 nights and had a comfortable, restful, and pleasant experience. The daily breakfasts in the kitchen were plentiful, delicious, and a great way to start our days. Our host, Sarah, had many great recommendations for our visit to the east side of the Big Island, and was great company every morning over breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be recommending it to friends and fellow travelers!

Sarah is an amazing host! She made yummy breakfast and even let us have a burrito for our hike! We arrived to chocolate chip cookies! The property is lovely; like being in a tropical rainforest, surrounded by giant ferns, altherium, and serenaded by coquis at night. The property had everything you could need or want, especially an attentive and generous host. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub great. You can’t go wrong with Sarah!

Sarah was a fantastic host, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay.

Very quiet location surrounded by greens, lovely furnished rooms, we'll definitely miss Sarah's breakfast, we were 100% happy

What an amazing stay in Volcano! Perfectly located close to the Park and within the most beautiful rain forest. Make a reservation at one of the local cafes for delicious dining and thoroughly enjoy breakfast with the hosts!

This place was fabulous! This place offers pretty much everything you could ever want in a B&B. My room was wonderful (the Royal Orchid room), the breakfast was wonderful, hostess was wonderful, loved the hot tub and the sound of frogs croaking at night. The fireplace was awesome. Close to restaurants, the Volcanoes National Park, and the Volcano Winery. You can also go to Hilo, about 40 minutes away. I highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at the Lava Pond Lodge BNB. Rebecca did an amazing job getting us a delicious breakfast both mornings. The jacuzzi was very enjoyable, even in the rain. Would highly recommend, but suggest booking through them directly. It was very confusing booking through Expedia. It somehow was listed as VRBO for payment and I think the price would be better directly through Lava Pond Lodge!

The setting here is beautifully tropical and isolated. The room was comfortable, especially the bed, with all we needed. The breakfasts had a variety of choices. Sarah was a wonderful host, a lot of fun to talk to and had many useful recommendations for how to enjoy the area around Volcano Park and Hilo.

This BnB is just a few minutes from the entry gate and visitor center for Volcanoes NP, so it's incredibly convenient for those visiting the park. Our first day in the park was wiped out by heavy rain and dense fog, and that's where this BnB really paid off for us. It it such a comfortable home: a large living room with plenty of comfortable seating; plenty of entertainment options: TV, DVDs, music player, CDs; and a large picture window looking out on a tropical backyard. Guest hostess Auntie Lila (sorry if I misspelled!) made breakfast a delightful and delicious experience. And on top of all that, our bedroom was clean and comfortable. We will be back someday!

We had a lovely visit with Sarah. The property is cozy, comfortable, and beautiful. The location is fantastic if you are planning to visit Volcanoes National Park, just a few minutes drive from the park entrance. Sarah was able to give us some great recommendations for the park, and for the surrounding area. Breakfast was delicious, and the Ka'u coffee is on another level. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at this B&B. Charming location in a tropical rainforest setting. Sarah was a great host and gave very helpful advice on how to best use our two days in Hawaii Volcanos National Park.

Room was nice. Comfortable bed. Great food. Snacks set out. Refrigerator available as well as one in our room. Owner Sarah wonderful host and lots of island knowledge. Easily recommend this for a great place to rest between daily adventures.

We had a really enjoyable stay. Great location for access to any volcano adventure, just a few minutes away. Sarah recommended we see the lava flow at sunrise so we did. She had flashlights and umbrellas for use. Weather was great while we were there but there was also a fireplace in common area for chilly nights. We had a quiet stay especially since we were the only ones the first night. Breakfast had a lot of options, served at 8 am. Room had good amenities as far as own coffee maker and fridge, tv, waters, etc. highly recommend the orchid room. Good to know that the water is collected rain and treated for personal use. We were mindful of how much we used. Drinking water was separate. Highly recommend staying if your looking for a quiet volcano getaway

We had a great first VRBO experience with this room. Not only was the property clean and spacious, it was in the perfect location and very easy to get to. Sarah was a tremendous host who gave very good instructions and tips around the area. The breakfast was such a huge bonus for us before hiking around the park. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was also very nice to have after a long day. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again. 🌋😀

We enjoyed our two nights away from home and the quiet room with all the amenities Sarah provides. Breakfast each morning delightful and will come back with family and friends again. Hot tub under the stars and Ohia tree my favorite!

We loved this Bnb in Volcano. The host had great communication, left thoughtful touches like snacks, water, umbrellas, torches for night viewing the Volcano lava. The highlight of our stay was the breakfasts - they were so generous! Delicious fruits, yoghurt, muffins, bagels, cooked breakfast. Our chats with Rhonda were wonderful - she made us feel like family. She learnt from us, and we learnt from her. She gave us tips where to go each day. This was by far our best BnB experience we've had, and highly recommend it to others. Location was also great - only 5 mins from Volcanoes National Park. We'll be back here some day ... it was a real highlight for us.

Stayed here for two days, Sarah was a lovely host and was easy to communicate with, breakfast was also very good. Would recommend this as a stay if you're looking to explore a few things around the Volcano park.

Staying at the Royal Orchid Suite was a highlight of our trip to the big island. The property is fantastic, the bed is great, and the amenities such as the hot tub/spa is soooo good. Sarah took the best care of us, communicated well with so many good suggestions, and the breakfast was second to none. I would not hesitate at all to recommend this property and experience!

Sarah is a wonderful local guide and cooks a great breakfast. The room was comfortable and the hot tub a treat after a long day. Will stay again!

The property was beautiful, Sarah was super kind & friendly & helped us find the best hiking trails & restaurants. The room & bathroom were just what we needed & with the back patio & yard it made it that more sweet. Definitely will go back again.

Nice, clean accommodations close to Volcanoes National Park; AND excellent breakfast!

Beautiful house. Extra comfortable bed. Host was very sweet and made us an amazing breakfast every morning. Very close to Volcanos National Park.

Really nice area that’s tucked away yet really close to the park and the few amenities offered in the area. Sarah was a gracious host and we had a great time

Loved this special spot. Easy into the national park and a welcome home feel at the end of long days of hiking. Sarah was easy to chat with and gave us great info about things to do and when to do them. Mahalo!
