Quiet and Serene - Perfect for Relaxation

Reviews

• Reviewer: Giuseppe

  Comments: You will need transport. Diana and Lando will do more than enough to ensure you have a comfortable stay. If you're a walker this is the perfect spot!

• Reviewer: Serghei

  Comments: Diana's place is great for couples and families. A very clean and cosy guest house with all tge basic neccesaties in quiet neighborhood. We felt very safe and comfortable staying there with our twin babies. Diana was very nice and welcomed us personally although our reservation was last minute and she was busy with the restaurant on New years eve. She greeted us with a bowl of fruits from her garden and provided us with all the necessities that we asked for our twin babies. The place is close to the main attractions of the island - Volcano ntl park, the waterfalls, Hilo market, and lavaaaaa flowing into the ocean! We'd defintely stay at Diana's place next time we're at the island

  Comments: Couldn't imagine a better setting for my boyfriend to propose to me! Lovely, quiet and very romantic place. It felt like we are in the middle of the jungle! Only 10 minute drive from the main town Hilo with many restaurants. Highly recommend!

• Reviewer: Ian

  Comments: Diana and Lando have a beautiful spot in a mostly residential area. the cabins are very simple but very clean and comfortable. This would be a great home base for folks who are excited about getting out and about in the area.

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: Such a cute and charming place to stay. The little lanai was a relaxing place to have breakfast. Diana was so accommodating, when we couldn't find the house in the dark, she came out in the rain with a light to guide us over, couldn't be nicer!!

• Reviewer: Nina

  Comments: Perfect, romantic bungalow Diana and Lando were very thoughtful with friendly aloha spirit. The room was very clean, private, surrounded by lush plants. Fresh fruit, delicious coffee and beach towels were kindly provided. Location was almost halfway between Hilo and great snorkeling. We would definitely return here and recommend this place to traveling couples.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: This place was perfect for us! Very clean, the place was like new. It is one of two stand alone cottages on a large and very private property. Hosts were great!

• Reviewer: Patrick

  Comments: A very nice, comfortable, brand new bungalow. Diana was very pleasant and friendly. It was a perfect location for us as well. We are looking forward to our next visit.

• Reviewer: Denise

  Comments: We had a very short overnight stay. It was a perfect spotless cottage. Diana was so nice and made us feel so welcome. We had a great time at the volcano and this was a great location.

• Reviewer: Margaret

  Comments: We loved Diana and Lando's place. It was clean, quiet and conveniently located to visit the Hawaii Volcanos National Park and Hilo. Diana was easy to reach, very helpful with advice & directions. Whatever little comforts we asked for such as wine glasses or beach chairs, Diana supplied immediately and happily! Don't miss going to Lando's Italian restaurant (Cafe Concerto) in Hilo! The food is great & the ambiance Italian. Lando is from Italy so he insists on locally sourced, fresh ingredients. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

• Reviewer: Michelle

  Comments: To get to this Airbnb, we initially followed our gps by typing in 15 railroad ave, which was a mistake. Definitely use the written instructions provided by Diana to get to the accommodations. It makes things much easier, especially after sunset. We were very impressed with the accommodations. Everything is brand new. It was very clean and they even provided chocolates for Valentine's Day. A nice thoughtful touch. They also provided fruit and water, along with brochures for local attractions. When we first walked in, I was worried because it was quite humid, but after opening the windows and turning the fan on, it cooled right down. The only minor issue I had was that the metal bed frame was creaky. Other than that, everything else was perfect. We would definitely stay again.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: Diana and Lando's bungalow was perfect for our two nights on that side of the island. The location was peaceful and quiet surrounded by lush vegetation.

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: Beautiful place and perfect base to explore Big Island. Thanks for having us.

• Reviewer: Paula

  Comments: Beautifully secluded, well equipped and great hosts

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: Love the location. Quiet, simple and clean. Diana went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant.

• Reviewer: Alan

  Comments: Nice place, would stay again. Alan

• Reviewer: Coreen

  Comments: Glad that we checked where it was in daylight before heading to Volcano Park, made it easier to find at night. Wonderful, secluded, wanted to stay on patio all day to enjoy the natural surroundings.

• Reviewer: Christian

  Comments: Located on a quiet lot along with another slightly larger bungalow. The entry to the house wasn't easy to spot. Recommend to go to the apartment before it gets dark. The bungalow is exactly as described. No air conditioning and definitely requires all windows to be opened to cool down. There is a fan though above the bed. Other than that clean and simple. About a 40 minute drive from Volcano NP and 20 to 30 minutes to Hilo depending on traffic.

• Reviewer: Yumiko

  Comments: Small studio very quiet but their bed made noise.

• Reviewer: Wade

  Comments: If your going to stay in Hawaii, Think Eastside !!!! This was a beautiful little bungalow... Wish we spent our whole vacation here ... Mahalo to you both and a Big MAHALO to Gav...

• Reviewer: Tiffany

  Comments: We loved this little hidden bungalow! Wish we were able to stay longer! It's the a perfect hide away secluded from everything, but close enough to Hilo if you need anything. Centrally located between Manuakea and the Volcano.

• Reviewer: Ron

  Comments: This is a very new and clean room and bath. Super quiet, if that is what you seek. There was wifi, but no radio or TV.

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: Wonderful little bungalow, absolutely perfect for us on our honeymoon. Very clean and our host added little touches, such as flowers and a little congratulations card, which was very cute. Highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: This was a great stay. It was advertised as quiet and that is exactly what it is. It is tucked into a residential area. No one bothered me at all. It was easy to get into and out of the driveway. Beware that if you turn on a light in the evening the bugs will flock to you. Also the room gets a bit warm during the day I made sure to leave the windows open a bit during the day. I enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

  Comments: Great location and very peaceful!

• Reviewer: Fumiko

  Comments: The bungalow we stayed in was super clean and beautiful and full of amenities. A tropical fruit bowl was a nice touch! We really enjoyed staying there. Diana greeted us with a warm welcome and was super helpful. Thank you so much!

• Reviewer: Ashley

  Comments: Hi - beautiful place you have, felt like brand new and full luxury! Good communication and loved fruit/flowers!!

• Reviewer: Mary E

  Comments: This was a great place for a short stay. We stayed one night and the accommodations were better than I expected. Great place for the money!!

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: Diana and Lando's place is exceptionally lovely - quiet, beautiful, and clean. The location and accommodations give you a true feeling of being in Hawaii! They are gracious hosts and I hope to return for a visit next year! Mahalo nui loa, Diana and Lando!

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: Such a great little place to stay and we had everything we needed. This location is ideal for visiting Volcano National Park without having to drive all the way to Hilo. This is a hidden gem.

• Reviewer: Jeremy

  Comments: Diana was incredibly hospitable, welcoming, and super knowledgeable about the area. The bungalow was cozy and relaxing in all the best ways. I highly recommend!

• Reviewer: John

  Comments: Diana and lando's place is great. They also let me borrow snorkeling gear and flashlight.

• Reviewer: Carol

  Comments: Verify directions. Don't use (Hidden by Airbnb) maps

• Reviewer: Jen

  Comments: This place was a great find and exceeded our expectations. It's newly built, clean, private and a convenient distance from both volcanos and Hilo. Sounds like you're sleeping in a rainforest!

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: We spent two days circling the Big Island and wanted a quiet and uniquely Hawaiian place to kick up our feet after a a long day of driving and hiking. Diana and Lando's spot was absolutely perfect. Two french doors opened to a nice patio facing palm trees full of chirping wildlife—no sound of cars or neighbors whatsoever. Their new and peaceful little property is located about 25 minutes outside of Hilo, where our helicopter tour left from the morning of day 2, and 15 minutes outside of Pahoa. Diana recommended Pahoa for dinner which was a cool little town we likely wouldn't have made it to other wise. I will be recommending this place to everyone that I can and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

• Reviewer: Borja

  Comments: Great place to stay in the Hilo area. It's a great location for visiting the Volcano Park, and for seeing lava in Kalapana. The apartment is very quiet and clean. Our days there were perfect!

• Reviewer: Lucie

  Comments: We enjoyed our stay in very nice bungalow at calm area in middle of banana, mango trees, etc. We had everything what we needed it.

• Reviewer: Jenn

  Comments: Mahalo for a great stay and your kindness! Thank you for welcoming me to the Big Island, I will recall my stay fondly.

• Reviewer: Eun Yung

  Comments: The bungalow was comfortable, had all the needed ammenities and it truly was a quiet and serene place to stay with a lot of privacy. The bungalow is very well kept and clean. Diana and lando even had snorkeling gear, towels and beach chairs for us to use. Everything looks very new. Diana and Lando are the best hosts I've encountered when booking air bnbs. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and she gave us great advice on what to go see and where to eat and even had fresh fruit for us . I would definitely recommend this place when staying in the Big Island.

• Reviewer: Chihiro

  Comments: My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! Diana maintains this place very well. She was very responsive to all messages too. If you are used to sleeping in a very quiet room you might want to bring ear plugs... you probably want to keep the windows open at night, and birds can wake you up very early.

• Reviewer: Kathryn

  Comments: Once again I want to thank you for your overwhelming genuerosity. There isn't a place on the big island I would rather stay!!! Not only were they super easy to communicate with, but they sent me suggestions on things to do and places not to miss. You don't want to miss this place or these people. Top notch all the way around.

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: Awesome Place!!!!!

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: Diana and Lando's place was great for us. It is very clean and in between the volcano and Kona. A perfect hopping spot for that side of the Island. Communication was excellent and all above expectation. There were even fresh papaya and small apple banana waiting for us

• Reviewer: Derek

  Comments: Beautiful bungalow! The fresh fruit was a lovely touch. Diane was very hospitable, and greeted us with the warmest aloha! I highly recommend!!!

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: Diana was very communicative before we arrived and greeted us when we checked in. The location is in the rural area and we were definitely glad to find it during the daytime. Diana went out of her way to provide extra toiletries for us after our baggage was delayed. The fresh fruit and water was also appreciated! The location is off the beaten path but great for relaxing - you can hear the birds and enjoy the tranquility of the space. There is another single unit on the property but no one was there while we stayed and there seems to be enough privacy if they did. The location is a bit further from Hilo but easy to access and a good starting point for the volcano park and 61g east access viewing. Overall we were very happy with our stay! Thank you!

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: If you are looking for a secluded little hideaway this is the spot...only about 20 minutes from Hilo but a quiet relaxing clean little bungalow, they took great care of us

• Reviewer: 屁屁

  Comments: 房間跟廁所很寬敞｡房東非常熱情的迎接和介紹景點,還有附上豐盛的水果及飲水｡住的地方光害少,晚上可以看星星｡

• Reviewer: Sirak

  Comments: Loved it here. Very clean and organized. Great hosts..they provide you with everything you need for your stay!

• Reviewer: Mandy

  Comments: Very new, clean and cute bungalow nestled in the banana trees! Diana and Lando have a beautiful place and we are lucky to have stayed there and extremely satisfied! We love quiet and peaceful and their place was the perfect fit for us. Nice location, perfect distance from Hilo and Pahoa. Loved falling asleep to the songs of the frogs! We hope to be back in the future!

• Reviewer: Katie

  Comments: Diana and lando's property is beautiful! Papaya and banana trees are abundant. You have complete privacy in a detached little home. It is very clean! We loved falling asleep to all of the peaceful forest sounds :)! Morning coffee, a mini fridge, and microwave was a nice touch and convenient for our early departure to the Hilo airport!

• Reviewer: Zara

  Comments: Great location for Hilo, tide pools, and Hawaii Volcano National Park!

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: We had a very nice stay at Diana and Lando's place. The house is private, and completely separate from other houses. The place is spacious, clean, modern and has everything you need to have a nice holiday. We had an excellent time down at the lava viewing area which is close to the house (20 miles down the road). Finally, Diana was an excellent host: she sent us plenty of information via email prior to our arrival and made sure we had comfortably arrived. Thank you for everything!

• Reviewer: Diana

  Comments: Diana and Lando were great hosts from the start - great communication and thoughtful reception. The accommodations are spacious and lovely, it's like your own private cottage! The most appreciated gesture for us was a late check-out. We had a early morning lava boat tour that required us getting up at 3:30 am. We were so happy to go back to the cottage, sleep, and check out after 3 pm. It was a lifesaver! If you have the opportunity to stay with Diana and Lando, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

• Reviewer: Danny

  Comments: Great hosts, clean and tidy place. Must try cliff walk nearby, would love to visit again. Thank you, mahalo!

• Reviewer: Liz

  Comments: I needed a place close to Volcano National Park and didn't need a ton of space. I wasn't staying a very long time and I would be out most of the day at the park so the size and location was ideal for me. There is a Foodland about 15 min from the house and on the way to the park so I was able to stop and grab food for the day driving around the park. The place feels very secluded especially at night because it gets very dark as there is little light pollution. Arriving late at night and in the dark the place was easy to find because it was clearly marked and there was great directions from the host. I had issues with my flight so I landed 6 hours after I was supposed to. Diana was so great and genuinely concerned about my arriving since it would after dark. There was fresh fruit from their property waiting for me that is the perfect way to start the day. I would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Tawny

  Comments: It was a beautiful secluded spot. Falling asleep to nature never fails to give someone a good nights rest. It was so clean and very roomy. Communication with hosts were great and 10/10 would stay again.

• Reviewer: Kyle

  Comments: Loved the geckos on the banana plants and all the lizards on the lava rock. This place was close to Pahoa which was important to us. Gets a little toasty inside so I recommend keeping the fan on and all the windows open.

• Reviewer: Spenser

  Comments: Diana and Lando's place is beautiful, and very true to the photos! It was comfortable, meticulously clean, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful tropical foliage. There was also fresh fruit, a couple of water bottles, beach towels, and some snorkeling gear provided to us. Just be aware that the water that comes out of the tap is rain catchment water (which is common in this area) so be sure to bring drinking water.

• Reviewer: Sébastien

  Comments: Clean and beautiful. This place is wonderful to visit the big island. I spend 2 days inside and it todally worth it.

• Reviewer: Linda

  Comments: Prepare more drinking water. The room is wonderful, only a little hard to find it and the connecting road is dark during the night. The room is a single house which is really convenient. The host provides nearly everything you need. Love their room!

• Reviewer: Keyla

  Comments: Gav was our host for the weekend and was fantastic ! Very very helpful with places to see and visit. Her communication was superb . I highly recommend staying here if you are in this side of the island. The place is well kept and "hidden" but the address given to us led us right there! The snorkel equipment/ beach towels/ coffee / fruit were an amazing bonuses!! It's gets hot at night but fans are provided :) Thanks again.

• Reviewer: Tiffany

  Comments: Overall the Big Island is very beautiful and breathtaking. A couple days before arrival, we were so nervous because it was our first Airbnb experience, but Gavrielle made me feel so at ease with such excellent communication and direction. Place was really easy to find, and just like we've hoped to be, very quiet and cozy. Everything looks new and well kept. We were welcomed with fresh delicious fruits that we had for breakfast. Yummy coffee and tea on the table, entertainment system that we enjoyed before bed...everything. All in all , I'm glad that we chose this place. Wanted to stay longer, but I'm sure this will not be the last time. Mahalo again for such great hospitality.

• Reviewer: Pascale

  Comments: Lieu Super bien pour découvrir les environs de Hilo et la coulée de lave active. Très tranquille et ressourçant ! De plus, les lieux sont vraiment propre et la communication avec les hôtes très facile. Merci pour ce Super séjour qui fut pour nous une expérience tres positive :) Mahalo :)

• Reviewer: Pascale

  Comments: Super endroit pour découvrir Hilo et les environs !

• Reviewer: Ashka

  Comments: Cozy and quiet place, enjoyed our stay here. Loved the fresh local fruits Diana and Lando left for us, so yummy! Not the closest to shops and restaurants, but easy to get to nearby towns and a great location as a base to explore the Volcanoes National Parks.

• Reviewer: Cory

  Comments: Very clean, well kept home. Perfect for a quiet getaway.

• Reviewer: Alma

  Comments: Our first time experience with airbnb using Diana and Lando’s home in paradise was awesome. We arrived at night and got lost looking for their house since the street was dark and it was raining. We called Diana and stayed with us on the phone until we found their house. She was on the street with her flashlight to guide us to their home. She is a wonderful host. The place was clean and perfect for me and my husband. We will definitely go back and use their home if we decide to go back to Hilo. Alma

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: We loved our stay. my wife is a clean freak, she bleaches everything, she loved this place because EVERYTHING was clean and fresh! thank you so much for a peaceful stay, we had a wonderful night. we opened the windows, set the ceiling fan on low, and slept deeper than we have in years. coffee on the lanai was peaceful, and the lush hawaiian backdrop was perfect. highly recommended for folks seeking a quiet, natural backdrop to their stay.

• Reviewer: Felix

  Comments: The bungalow was awesome, cozy, and well accommodated. It had everything we needed, Diana was a great host checking in when we were lost and checked on us when needed. Great first experience using airbnb.

• Reviewer: Gabe

  Comments: Diana and Lando were fantastic to rent from. They communicated early and gave us plenty of insider tips on places to adventure out to on the Hilo side of the island. The home was extremely clean and spacious. Everything seemed brand new. The ammebities were just what we needed. Diana and Lando provides a small refrigerator, microwave, toiletries, silverware, and a coffee maker with coffee, among other things. We loved our stay!

• Reviewer: Katy

  Comments: Diana and Lando’s bungalow is adorable and very clean. My friend and I enjoyed having fruit and coffee (provided by our hosts) on the lanai, while looking out at the unique setting we were in. We had an awesome time!

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: This cottage has everything you need, and the hosts have added little amenities that make it the perfect retreat. So quiet and serene - I highly recommend it.

• Reviewer: Kelly

  Comments: Great little place to stay and Diane was an outstanding host. She was so pleasant to talk to. Would definitely stay again. Loved the fresh bananas and papaya she left for us. A+++ Hosts.

• Reviewer: Edward

  Comments: This is a perfect little Bungalo Nestled in a very cozy and private spot. The host is very helpful and the place is spotless. Couldn’t of asked for a nicer place to stay

• Reviewer: Belinda

  Comments: Eine tolle Unterkunft, super sauber, toller Komfort, ruhig gelegen und für Touren nach Hilo oder den Vulkan Nationalpark perfekt. Es gab sogar eine Kaffeemaschine & frisches Obst. So konnten wir auf der süßen Terrasse des Bungalows direkt den ersten Kaffee des Tages genießen. Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, unbedingt empfehlenswert!

• Reviewer: Belinda

  Comments: Wir waren bereits zum zweiten Mal in dieser wunderbaren Unterkunft. Fantastisches Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Super sauber, toll eingerichtet, hohe Privatsphäre, sogar mit eigener Terrasse mit Blick ins Grüne, es gab wieder frische Früchte für uns. Sollten wir wieder nach Big Island kommen, würden wir definitiv hier übernachten.

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: Very clean and private bungalow in a residential tropical area. The beautiful decor and personal touches - fruit basket and flowers - made it feel luxurious and welcoming. I️ enjoyed listening to the coqui frogs at night and sipping my coffee on the lanai. Although we never met in person, the hosts were very communicative and hospitable. I️ highly recommend this place! Perfect for 1-2 travelers. It is a short drive to different attractions. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!

• Reviewer: Carrie

  Comments: Lovely, quiet, and fits all the basic needs. An easy drive to Hilo, Pahoa, and Volcano.

• Reviewer: Barbara

  Comments: Diana is wonderful - very helpful. Accommodation is new and perfectly clean. Enjoyed the lanai (porch) and the lovely private setting. Appreciated the fresh fruit and flowers. Great to have the refrigerator and microwave. Big shower stall. Will definitely recommend to others.

• Reviewer: Stella

  Comments: This place is very nice, clean, and private. I like that it is a stand alone building, the passcode key box is convenient. Also enjoyed the fresh fruit and fresh coffee. Definitely would recommend Diana and Lando’s place!

• Reviewer: Katy

  Comments: What a lovely space! ‘Tis luxuriously simple. My partner & I were only able to stay for a nightlong getaway, and it was perfect Some things to note: The area is “residential,” yes, and Diana & Lando are right next door... however it feels more rural in the best way. You’re surrounded by luscious nature in a neighborhood with houses quite spaced out, some with many acres. I was originally hoping to book a place in a more rural setting, and was happily surprised about the location. Also, there is another guest house right next to you on the same lot, which was unexpected and totally great. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Oh, and the coqui frogs! I finally get why they’re called that... “Co-QUI!” :)

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: Serene and quiet retreat. Cute space and loved the fresh fruit, water and coffee!

• Reviewer: Irene

  Comments: Welcomed with fresh fruit and flowers. New, clean, suited our needs well. Location was good for us between Hilo and Volcano.

• Reviewer: Rachel

  Comments: This was a great little bungalow. Very easy to get to for the area. If I stayed here again I would make sure to bring more re-usable water bottles and hit up some Starbucks or water fountains before heading home. Diana was so sweet and she did provide water bottles, but as someone who works in the environmental field I didn’t feel great drinking from the plastic bottles.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: Newly built bungalow surrounded by tropical plants. It feels very private and secluded. We were thrilled by the cleanliness! Also, there was fresh local fruit left for us. Fabulous experience that we hope to repeat next year!

• Reviewer: Lucie

  Comments: Moc prijemne ubytovani, uzasne ciste. Hostitele jsou velmi ochotni,mili a velmi napomocni. Misto je strategicky umisteno nedaleko letiste v Hilo a rovnez v blizkosti " lava viewing area".

• Reviewer: Christina

  Comments: What a lovely place to relax! Diana and Lando have a beautiful space to appreciate the beauty of Hawai‘i. The space was clean, bright, and welcoming, and Diana and Lando do a wonderful job of perpetuating the aloha spirit. The bed was comfy, and they left some delicious fresh fruit for me to enjoy during my stay. Diana was flexible and met me when I got there and made it clear she wanted to make sure I was good to go. The bathroom had some great amenities, and the room was just delightful. Thank you!

  Comments: 非常好的小屋

• Reviewer: Jamie

  Comments: Our stay with Diana and Lando was perfect. It was unfortunately the last night of our trip, otherwise we would have loved to stay longer. Diana was super friendly, and offered us fruits from her trees and local suggestions. We would love to stay another time!

• Reviewer: Kait

  Comments: Our stay with Diana and Londo was great! A quaint little bungalow located just outside of Hilo, it was perfect for spending a quiet and restful evening. Diana provided directions and recommendations and was very quick to respond to any inquiries. All in all, would stay here again in a second!

• Reviewer: Ani

  Comments: We had a great experience staying at Diana and Lando’s. They were super responsive and flexible, as our plans shifted our arrival time. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh fruit and cold water. The bed was large and comfortable and everything was very clean.

• Reviewer: Minseop

  Comments: 일정변경으로 인해 체크인시간이 바뀌었음에도 호스트는 우리의 상황을 이해하고, 변경상황을 받아주었다. 숙소는 새로 지은 방갈로 였다. 그곳은 깨끗하고 예뻤다. 새 건물의 냄새가 조금 난다. 테라스에서 정원을 보며 아침을 먹기 좋았다.

• Reviewer: Christopher

  Comments: Perfect base for exploring Volcano National Park, Hilo, Pahoa, etc. Suite was larger than expected, with fresh fruit upon arrival and toiletries. Diana provided exceptional communication throughout our stay. I would stay here again.

• Reviewer: Holland

  Comments: This place is lovely! We only stayed one night, but certainly wish we had carved out a couple nights here. There are two guest bungalows on the lot, but it still feels very private and comfortable. The place is very clean, the shower is roomy and water nice and hot. Close proximity to Hilo, and we loved exploring the Kapoho Tidepools. Diana met us upon arrival, and even communicated to us that day that an early check in was available—which was a nice surprise. There is a mini-fridge and microwave, so don’t plan on cooking or storing a lot of food. Bring some yogurt to enjoy with the fruit provided by hosts! Yum! Also—Diana offered us plenty of bottled water since the rainwater catchment is not recommended for drinking, but we would recommend saving the plastic by bringing your own refillable bottles full.

• Reviewer: Alexandra

  Comments: We had a wonderful stay. Loved the birds signing in the morning and at night, the peace and quiet, the darkness and mystery of the place. Passion fruit and other delights from Diana and Lando’s garden were delicious. I wish we had had more time to soak in the serenity of the place. Conveniently located between the Volcanoes Park and Hilo. A lovely getaway with starry nights.

• Reviewer: Ashli

  Comments: I highly recommend this listing. It was everything we needed for our week stay on the big island. The extra touches were a great surprise. We never had to spend any money on snorkeling equipment it was already provided. There is also a limited amount of sunscreen, aloe (which we did use) and bug spray which made it nice to sit on the patio at night. Very quiet neighborhood. Loved our mornings drinking coffee on the patio. I recommend this host and listing to others and will be recommending to close friends and family in the future. Thanks for everything!

• Reviewer: Linda

  Comments: Clean, quiet, secluded place! We really enjoyed staying at Diana and Lando’s place. Diane was very sweet, even met us in the pouring rain to welcome us! We definitely recommend their place if you’re looking for a place to relax and get away.

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: Diana and Lando's ohana was the prefect home base for our hiking adventures on the big island. We enjoyed our stay very much. The place was quiet, clean, and private. Our hosts were very well organized and easy to communicate with. Thank you Diana and Lando!

• Reviewer: Benjamin

  Comments: The place is wonderful. Very clean and you are surrounded by nature. You will hear all of nature's sounds, so bring some ear plugs if that will bother you. Convenient drives to get to the volcano or Hilo. Totally recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Nathan

  Comments: Diana and Lando have an amazing spot for people looking to get away. It is extremely clean and I found the bed very comfortable. While you are there you can get somewhat of an “off the grid” feel but with just a 10 min drive north or south you can find yourself different shops and restaurants. It is also 15-20 from Hilo. Also enjoyed the coffee maker, dvds, waters, and freshly picked fruit for enjoyment. Would def I I felt stay again. Thank you guys!

• Reviewer: Simone

  Comments: Beautiful place with good facilities and really good, responsive hosts. Must need car, close to National Volcano Park and definitely good for discovering more of the east side of Big Island.

• Reviewer: Katarina

  Comments: Diana and Lando offered excellent hospitality for our stay! We picked this place because it was close to the Volcano Park. I would highly recommend this place for its cleanliness, communication, local tips, location, and great place. Thank you once again! Katarina and Adrien

• Reviewer: Sean

  Comments: Wonderful place. We have a great honey moon time in here.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: Exactly what the description promises. From Diane’s personal greeting when we arrived to the birds calling at night. It was the wet season when we visited (and boy did it rain) but that only added to the experience for us, sleeping to the sound of the rain on the roof. Our only regret was that our stay was just two nights. One tip for prospective guests, make sure you have a rental car, you can get to the lava flow viewing area in a few minutes, and Hilo town is likewise not too far away if you’re driving. Thanks Diane & Lando!

• Reviewer: Catherine

  Comments: Lovely personal touches. Shampoo, body wash in bathroom; snacks, oils and lip balm for our use. Fully stocked kitchen and beach supplies. Lovely outside sitting area, Most comfortable bed of our trip! Would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you Diana and Lando

• Reviewer: Kristy

  Comments: Wonderful place to stay. Easy access to the volcanoes. Definitely would stay here again!

• Reviewer: Bryan

  Comments: If you want clean and simple beauty and everything you could want then this is the place for you. Microwave refrigerator coffee fresh papayas and other fruit..... Lovely accent touches and beautiful artwork that really conveys the feeling of Hawaii Anna. Even the windows had been recently washed and there was good air circulation and ventilation between the windows and the ceiling fan. Very important for my wife and I was the lack of mold and mildew smells this is a rare thing in Hawaii and we really appreciated it

• Reviewer: Julia Elizabeth

  Comments: A sweet bungalow that is clean and airy. The fresh flowers and coffee a special touch. We enjoyed our stay here very much. Great location for exploring Puna.

• Reviewer: Brian

  Comments: Diana and Lando are amazing hosts! They go out of their way to make sure you are having the most comfortable and best experience you can while you are on the big island. We definitely appreciated the amount of communication with tips and ideas of where we can go and what to do during our stay. Will happily look to stay with them again during our next time on the big island!

• Reviewer: Kenny

  Comments: We only stayed for one night but wished we had stayed a few days more. Diana is passionate and welcomed us warmly when we checked in. The place is as described. Diana also gave us some fruits and the papaya is the most delicious I have had in years. The bungalow is clean and very affordable. The only thing to watch out for is that it's a bit off the beaten path and I strongly recommend to arrive before sunset in the first night. Diana provided the GPS coordinates, and both the GPS coordinates and street address is accurate in (Hidden by Airbnb) Maps so you won't get lost when using (Hidden by Airbnb) Maps. Overall this place is awesome and the birds/insects sing all night long. A very lovely stay and highly recommended.

• Reviewer: Hendrik

  Comments: The bungalow is exactly as described and very clean. It may be a bit hard to find, but Diana and Lando provided us with good directions. There is no A/C, but all windows have fly screens, so you can have a bit of a breeze inside the bungalow. Communication was always quick and easy. We enjoyed our time very much and would stay there again!

• Reviewer: Michelle

  Comments: Great spot between Hilo and Pahoa. Super clean and comfy, yummy fruits and helpful prompt communications made this stay a breeze.

  Comments: This place was super clean, cute and quiet! You can fall asleep to the sounds of nature, birds and tree frogs (seriously, who comes to Hawaii and complains about hearing nature?). Even though the main house is right next door, it felt very private and we had a great stay. The one caveat is that there is not a kitchen sink so you have to wash your dishes in the bathroom sink :/

  Comments: Beautiful gem of a place. Very comfortable and the hosts took care of all our needs. All the extra touches were appreciated. Would recommend to friends and family!

• Reviewer: Creighton

  Comments: This little bungalow was perfect for us! It was cozy and comfortable, and close to both Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for one night, but we really appreciated all the special little touches that make Diana, Lando, and Lucy such great hosts. They had fresh fruit and bottled water and sent us lots of information about the area and things to do. It didn't have a full kitchen, but did have a small fridge, microwave, and dishes. Great little getaway!

• Reviewer: Charlotte

  Comments: Very clean room/bathroom, peaceful location. Exactly what you would need to just escape.

• Reviewer: Molly

  Comments: This place is fantastic, exceeded expectations. It is spacious, clean, quiet & centrally located if visiting Volcano, Hilo, Pahoa, or Kapalaa. It was larger than I expected or needed, I was by myself, a small family could fit comfortably (if allowed). Fresh fruit, comfortable bed, quiet & a hot shower was really appreciated.

• Reviewer: Yun

  Comments: The house is located in the wood so it is very quiet at night. We really liked the design of the house, the simplicity and the attention to details. It is very cute and sparkling clean. The host was very quick to respond to our questions and very thoughtful. We arrived late but two bottle of Hawaii water and local fruits already provided in the house. Too bad that we only stayed for one night. I recommend this place.

  Comments: Wow! We had a wonderful time at Diana and Lando's place. Everything was clean, new and functional. We really appreciated the little attentions : fruits, flowers and movies. Nice outdoor setting with trees and birds... perfect to relax and eat breakfast before heading out for the day.

• Reviewer: Yuan

  Comments: Very nice place! Quite and comfortable!

• Reviewer: Kelly

  Comments: This location worked for me coming from Volcanoes Park. I loved the shopping plaza nearby for groceries and takeout. I did not read the details closely and it was hot inside when I arrived, but cooled off quickly after I opened all the windows. No AC if you plan on staying inside on a brutally hot day, and the fan is less than optimal. There is a TV, but strictly for DVD use. I was able to watch Merrie Monarch online, but only in certain areas was the WiFi signal strong enough to stream on my phone. The space is super clean, there was fresh fruit and bottled water in the mini fridge. The bed is comfortable. The coquis frogs are deafening, and I live on Oahu, so I don’t come to Big Island to hear nature sounds, especially invasive species. Closing the windows cuts the noise by 50%, which you can do if it cools down. Due to the noise, I would not stay here again as I am a very light sleeper. Great place if you can get past this or sleep like a log.

  Comments: Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Diana begrüsst. Sie hat sich Zeit genommen unsere Fragen zu beantworten. Das Bungalow ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet mit kleinen Details (z.B. frische Blumen, eine Schale voll Früchte inkl. Küchenmesser und einem guten Haartrockner mit Diffusor :-)). Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.

• Reviewer: Alexandra

  Comments: Don't look further, it's the perfect place to stay! For one or few nights you won't regret it! Diana is very friendly and helpful! Nice flowers for your arrival,plate of fruits, nice and very clean bedroom and bathroom. A fridge to keep your water / food fresh. We would have loved to stay longer, but we will definitely coming back if we travel again in this area! Go, go, go !

• Reviewer: Alexia

  Comments: Our one night stay at Diana and Lando's bungalow was just what we needed after a day of adventuring around the Island. Diana was very welcoming upon our arrival and her communication was second to none. The directions given were exact. The place is situated between the Volcano National Park and Hilo so easy to commute between the two places and also the surrounding towns. The bungalow was very clean and had all the essential amenities that you need. All in all, a wonderful stay was had. I would highly recommend a stay here.

• Reviewer: Justin

  Comments: FANTASTIC! Diana was exceptional in every way, quick with her responses, friendly on arrival and kindly helped us out when we made a mistake with our booking. The accomodation has all you need for a great stay, beautiful fresh fruit, fans, snorkles and more. It is a great location for exploring Hilo and the Hawaii Volcano National Park. Would love to stay here again!

• Reviewer: Suzanne

  Comments: Lovely place and really friendly host. Great value for money. We would definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Leah

  Comments: Diana and Lando were great hosts. Their communication was great given most recent conditions with Kilauea. They ensured our safety and answered all questions and concerns. We were so glad we didn't cancel because their bungalow was very special. Fruit, coffee and flowers were such a great touch. Delightful bathroom and loved the traditional yet minimalistic design.

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: Diana and Lando offer a very special retreat. Eating breakfast on the porch in the morning light and listening to the sounds of the birds is magical. They are great hosts and we enjoyed our stay very much.

• Reviewer: Vojtech

  Comments: Nice bungalow in the real nature.

• Reviewer: Linda

  Comments: Diana and Lando are super friendly and helpful. We could check in without any problems and they surprised us with flowers and fruits which was very nice! The apartment is very clean and I can totally recommend it!

• Reviewer: Trevor

  Comments: Wow! What a place! We were really excited to stay here and then learned about the Kilauea eruption. They messaged us immediately and kept us updated prior to our arrival. The place was exactly as pictured and was perfect for us! It was clean and had great style, thoughtful touches (flowers, fresh fruit), and they were very responsive! We loved listening the the wildlife and sitting on the patio as the sun went down with the glow of the lava in the distance. Hilo itself was very quaint and we loved seeing the stars on Mauna Kea.

Shower and bathroom were large and spotless clean. amazing location, can see pele's glow from the front yard. Highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Kate

  Comments: Quaint little bungalow outside of Hilo. Beach chairs and towels were a nice touch, as well as the coffee. However NO AC and it gets very hot inside. Simple, clean, safe, but not much to in the surrounding area.

• Reviewer: Evan

  Comments: Awesome little place. Private, spacious, and homey. Felt like a little retreat.

• Reviewer: Rhonda

  Comments: A cute cottage that was very clean and quiet. There is a coffee maker and DVD player. It did get warm when we were there, so we were thankful for the extra fan. It is about 20 minutes south of Hilo in good traffic, but leaving in the morning was difficult and time consuming with the commuters on the only road into town. Just make sure you leave extra time. It was worth it to have peace and quiet with nature at night.

• Reviewer: Greg

  Comments: highly recommend!!

• Reviewer: Candace

  Comments: Cute and comfy place. Everything you need. Instructions were easy and communication were good with the host. Very clean.

• Reviewer: Guy

  Comments: Woodsy locale, nice privacy, some barking dogs and kokee frog chirps through the night. Take a walking stick if you venture down the road as there are some threatening dogs on the loose!

• Reviewer: Ziyi

  Comments: Diana was a great host! The communication was great, so was our brief meet. (Even though it was late at night). Everything was perfect: room was spotless and thoughtfully decorated, the fruits provided was a highlight because they were delicious! Only wish we could stay a few more nights!

• Reviewer: Nina

  Comments: Das Apartment war wie beschrieben: idyllisch im Grünen gelegen und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Alles war sehr sauber, die kleine Kaffeeaschine und der Minikühlschrank ermöglichten ed, morgens den Sonnenaufgang bei einem Kaffee und Snacks zu genießen. Diana war immer ansprechbar und hat sofort auf meine Anliegen reagiert. Als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge auf der Hiloseite ideal.

  Comments: The bungalow had everything we needed to make the most of our time. The location was great for providing a feeling of being far out amongst the natural surroundings yet conveniently located to town and other amenities.

• Reviewer: Jen

  Comments: This place was perfect! The bungalow is adorable and filled with thoughtful touches from Diana. We were even greeted with fresh fruit from their garden that was delicious! Diana and Lando were so friendly, helpful, and hospitable and we ended up spending some time with them getting to know them- both so lovely and welcoming! The bungalow itself is also perfect, very remote in your own little jungle oasis and extremely peaceful. About 10 min drive to some nice local restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

• Reviewer: Gerry

  Comments: Adequate and peaceful. Good choice for visiting Hilo area.

• Reviewer: Marilyn

  Comments: Diana was hospitable from the get go. We felt welcomed and comfortable staying on her property while we explored the Hilo side for a few days. She was very responsive when we needed to reach her. And also provided us with ample information for sightseeing. The amenities provided were exactly what we needed for our short stay. She even provided beach towels, a beach mat, and snorkel gear! It did not get hot enough at night to require AC, and there's a ceiling fan which cooled down the space quickly. The coquis frogs add a jungle-like ambiance, which was weird at first, but became comfortable white noise after awhile. There is enough space for parking in front of the bungalow.

• Reviewer: Joanne Rongrong

  Comments: The host is very friendly and greeted us in a proper way. They sent us a list of the sightseeings and also recommended us many restaurants. They also provided us with their organic fruits which are super delicious! The place is clean and safe, and you can see the stars above your head at night in the garden.

Very clean and relaxing space, was nice listening to the birds come to life at night while sitting on the patio. Hosts were very responsive and provided fresh fruits which were delicious.
