We loved our stay at Old Hawaiian B and B! The room was cozy and clean, the peoperty is beautiful, and the hosts are extremely welcoming. Breakfast is also a highlight - fruit from the backyard, assorted home made breads, and a hard boiled egg and yogurt. Fantastic start to the day! We would definitely stay here again if we wind up around Hilo in the future!

Perfectly tranquil setting. Comfortable room with gorgeous view from window. The outdoor kitchen was convenient and the breakfast was amazing. The hostess gave take away bag for day trip and shared recipe of delicious monkey bread. Would highly recommend

10/10 Exceptional

In a quiet, pretty residential neighborhood but not far from places to see and eat in town. It was such a nice sanctuary after driving in town traffic and loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs. Relaxing room and nice bathroom; no television, but was able to stream on our laptop with the wifi. Breakfasts on the lanai were lovely. Was introduced to some new tropical fruit, and Lory made two kinds of delicious baked goods each morning and sweetly offered to pack leftovers for us to take on our outings. Would absolutely stay here if in Hilo again!

First time at a bed and breakfast

This was our first time ever at a bed snd breakfast. I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd say Intimate would be a good word, and friendly. Laurie the owner welcomed us personally, and there were two other couples there. The morning communal breakfast gave us a taste of the local fruits and breads, all hand preparec. The room was comfortable and while there's no A/C, there was no need due to the local nighttime climate. It wasn't near the downtown district, but turned out to be a plus. If you visit Hilo, I highly recommend Old Hawaiian Bed and Breakfast! Thanks for great 2-day stay.

Excelente estadia

A estadia foi incrível! O B&B é num lugar muito bonito, cheio de vegetação e absolutamente silencioso. Os anfitriões estiveram presentes para qualquer dúvida ou indicação que precisamos, e o café da manhã com frutas e pães quentes uma delícia

Lory and Stewart were fantastic hosts. The room was perfect for a couple! Was a great base for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! Lots of dining options about 5 minutes away.

Klein aber fein.

Klein, aber fein. Das Zimmer und das Bad sind klein aber sauber und gepflegt. Freundlicher Empfang durch den Besitzer. Das Frühstück aus diversen feinen Früchten aus dem eigenen Garten, Smoothies und Gebäck sind sehr fein. Grosser, schöner Garten vor dem Haus.

Stuart served us fruit from his trees for breakfast. His spacious and well kept back yard overlooks the lovely river that feeds Rainbow Falls. Idyllic.

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I stayed there for four nights and we had the most wonderful time there. Every morning was a different type of fresh cut fruit, mostly grown in the property and home bake goods. It was delicious! The room was small but comfortable and was exactly what we were looking for. The property and location was great too. It was a 10 minutes walk to rainbow falls and 5 minutes drive to downtown Hilo.

Thoughtful room decor. Very clean and functional. No TV so I caught up on my reading, that is a huge plus. The breakfast offerings of ample fruit and baked things were great. Wonderful and relaxing

到着が夜になりましたがオーナーが出迎えてくれました。 部屋は清潔でメンテナンスも出来ていて古さが魅力的に反映されていました。 朝食はフルーツのレパートリー豊富な盛り合わせと出来立てのバナナブレッドやマフィン、ミックスフルーツスムージー、ゆで卵、コーヒーや紅茶は勿論ですが小さくて可愛いカラフルな黄緑と赤ぶちのトカゲ2匹が毎朝お早うって親しくやって来ます。 心癒されて1日がスタート出来ました。 最高のB&Bです。

A piece of calm paradise

Amazing b&b! Dae was a wonderful host. A tucked away home where you will be surrounded by nature and its sounds. Highly recommend. We will be back!
Hansam, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is located well above Hilo in a very quiet neighborhood. We walked up the road 1/2 mile to see the Boiling Pots on the river and also admired the varied uses of hardened lava in people’s landscaping. The breakfast was sumptuous! Two kinds of homemade breads, a fresh smoothie, tropical fruit cup, yogurt and eggs. Welcoming and accommodating hosts. Next time we will opt for a larger room than Bamboo, which is small for 2 people.

great stay

This is our kind of BnB - simple but everything we need, quiet and natural surroundings. The lanai is shared between the three rooms and has a small fridge, microwave, and electric kettle. Breakfast featured fruits picked from the trees on the property.
