the crew was great property was very nice

Absolutely incredible location. Beautiful waterfall, very private and quiet. Staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious. Very unique and beautiful place.

Waterfall right outside our room! Tranquil and peaceful!! Great place to relax and enjoy nature!

This was by far our favorite place we’ve EVER stayed and we have traveled the world! The staff were super sweet and helpful, starting with Jeri, when we checked in and got settled to Aarika bringing us an amazing breakfast and checking us out. Everyone was wonderful! The breakfast was served on the patio overlooking the gorgeous waterfall. It is tucked away so very quite with trails through bamboo groves and down to the falls, where you can take a refreshing swim. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this picture perfect, extremely tranquil Inn💕. We will definitely return.

Didn’t have enough time to enjoy the facility, but everything went well. Clean spacious room. Great check in. Wish there was an elevator for the heavy luggage(who travels heavy to Hawaii? Me!).

Staying at Kulaniapia Falls was an absolutely incredible experience! Stayed for one night, but would have stayed longer, if possible. It was my absolute favorite part of my Big Island experience. Highly recommend!

This place was a true retreat of the senses.

I don't usually write a lot of reviews, but I specifically came back to this booking that we had in April of 2022 because I've thought about it so much since that stay. This was possibly the most idyllic setting I've ever had the pleasure of staying at; the grounds around the main property are like a movie set. It was impossibly pretty, and the hiking trail they set up around the multitude of tropical plants they grow there was a lot of fun to walk. We swam in the pool where the waterfall was flowing, but the water was a little too high to try and get up underneath the falls itself. We had a wonderful night's sleep away from the bustle of town; we slept with our windows open and during the night one of the house cats decided it wanted to sleep in the bed with us, so we made a little space for our new friend. If you're looking for a unique experience in Hilo I'd highly recommend this incredible property. We only stayed one night so I can't comment on a lot of the hospitality outside of the excellent breakfast we had, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it would all be equally great.

This was a magical experience. So private, beautiful, and serene. Loved all the employees as well.

Beautiful location right by the waterfall -- the walk around the property is beautiful.

My husband and I had a great stay. The waterfall was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious!

Lovely inn right next to a waterfall with great activities. Beautiful and secluded, well worth the extra little drive from Hilo. The resident cat was super friendly. The included (with an overnight stay) breakfast was delicious.

Property was exceptional. The only issue is that I felt rushed with the inn trying to place a deposit hold on my card several times

A truly magical special place like any other. Words can’t describe. So much peace and serenity in this beautiful place. We were worried about spending the amount we did before getting there but honestly now that we have been feel it was priceless. There is a serenade of frogs and insects at night in addition to the raging water sounds of the falls that are way closer than they seen in photos of the property. There is a beautiful peaceful trail down to the falls with hidden benches and views. We even swam in the 50ft deep pool beneath the waterfall! The staff work from the heart in presenting the property and preparing the free breakfast (which is made from ingredients grown on the associated farm). I can’t say enough good things about this special place!

It was a very quiet place to stay out of town in nature. The falls were nice, unique feature. We were disappointed that we were not able to get any special dinner or farm to table lunch on short notice, even though they were not off.

This property is remote in a beautiful location. The waterfall provides a wonderful backdrop to the property. Staff was amazing and our overall experience was great.

It was very nice except there is no A/C. Breakfast was excellent. We wished we had dinner option other than the Chef’s choice since it was out of our budget range. But the grounds are beautiful and unique.

Outstanding place, highly recommended

Day pass to Waterfall!

We were blown away by this property - definitely one of the top that we have stayed at with such an amazing ambiance! Lush greenery all the around with birds, fruit trees, and waterfall. We had an awesome view of the waterfall from our room. And loved the sound of it through the night. Everyone can enjoy that view from the breakfast area! This fall was actually better and without crowds than Rainbow fall. The private little serene trail on the property was a great surprise! The kitchen area in our building was also stocked with coffee/tea/muffins etc. we were able to store some leftovers as well as fruit we bought in the fridge. Stayed here for 2 nights but wish we could have stayed here 1 more night. The Hawaii tropical bio reserve and garden is about 25 mins away and was another pleasant surprise that’s a must-visit. Only thing I can think of as far as improvement is to have vegetarian options for meals - specifically the chef’s dinner. We didn’t do chef’s dinner because the staff was upfront with us about the menu (which we appreciated).

The waterfall and pond was superb. The site was far from the crowds. The room was samll but fine, and shared dining area very good. Only suggestion - the breakfast would have been far better as a buffet. The breakfast booking process raised expectations too high.

The waterfall in front of house was so wonderful. Whole facilities were somewhat old but nicely maintained clean.

We loved the Inn. The property was gorgeous and the falls were amazing. We enjoyed our special Chef's Table dinner immensely. The quiet and the closeness to nature were much appreciated.

This inn is more a retreat than a hotel. Location take a drive through country road, some one-lane. But once get there, the water fall is beautiful. It is a short hike from the hotel. There are only about 10 guest rooms. Staff are locals and very friendly. Breakfast is included for room stays. I like the home style kitchen where snacks and refrigerator is available. Very comfortable.

A one - night stay. Beautiful setting, lovely room, friendly & helpful staff. Do recommend arriving & leaving in daylight re: the road in can be a little confusing in the dark.

Fantastic. This is a beautiful place to stay, and the hopitality was just wonderful. Do sign up for the extras, like the Chef's Table. Definitely worth it!! Great beds, amazing views in all directions!

Sleeping next to a waterfall is amazing. I particularly enjoyed the "jungle sounds" at night. Although located on private property in a rural setting, it was close enough to Hilo for shopping, dining, beach and other activities.

This place is like nothing i've seen before. I enjoyed everything about it. The hospitality, the uniqueness, the view, the quiet. If you want to glamp, please spend time in the cabins. If you want an inn vibe, stay at the inn. But i would come back again and again. The waterfall is just spectacular.

Absolutely gorgeous setting. A place you could happily get lost in for the space of a week. Deeply disappointed with breakfast options for a vegan. For this kind of "retreat" atmosphere, I would've expected more of a progressive and inclusive approach to dietary variations. Found some staff really aloof - maybe that's just generally part of the vibe but on an island where everyone is just delightful all the time, it didn't feel extremely inviting. That said, there is no beating the physical environment and ambiance of this place. I'd stay again, definitely.

Absolutely stunning property. Really immerses you in nature while being close to Hilo for dining options. Highly recommend if you want to get into nature a bit – it's right outside your door here!

I truly enjoyed my stay here I stayed in one of the cabins and the hospitality was excellent kinds of sort of attentive even comforting I enjoyed that everyone was worked well together and that it was a healthy environment. The staff were kind considerate and easy to connect and converse with. I live on Maui and I know tourism can be a pain. I didn't feel that with anyone on premises. It was a Lovely stay and I would stay here again. Mahalo Nui loa

We stayed in the queen room in the Harmony building. The fans were not enough for the August humidity and heat and the shower did not drain well. It was clean though and staff were nice. Sleeping next to the waterfall is also nice too.
