My wife's family has known the owners for years. Uncle Billy's is not about pretense or amenities. It's a Kona hotel with a classic Kona feel. The rooms are good for what hotel rooms in a beautiful location are meant for: sleeping. Kailua Town rolls up the sidewalks early so you will get a peaceful sleep as you hear the... More

I want to start this off by saying that I stayed in my fair share of hotel rooms, and this is by no stretch of the imagination a "hotel". It is a 100% MOTEL. I would compare this to any typical non-big name hotel, on the side of the road, on the outskirts of a bad town (the one you... More

We have been having a really nice time staying at Uncle Billy's. The location is really amazing for being right in the heart of Kona. There are about 20 restaurants within walking distance. It is really fun for the kids to be able to walk around downtown Kona on Alii drive and shop for trinkets. The pool is rather small,... More

This place shops be called Uncle Billy's bed bug bungalow! Rooms were filthy! Literally dirt, dust, mold and....hair and blood on the sheets. Don't stay here unless you are truly homeless....and even then the beach would be cleaner. Lots of shady people hanging around too. Passed one guy staggering down the stairs smelling like he was smuggling skunks. Ugh! Check... More

$69 Kaamaina rate with wifi and free parking nearby, so I cannot complain about the value. The parking is weird. Right behind there paid lot is a free lot where I was always able to find a spot. Most people don't know it's a public parking lot so you can always get a spot there! I had a room on... More

My experience here was probably one of the worst when it came to customer service, specifically regarding their Kama'aina (locals) discount. We booked the weekend for a little stay-cation, since we live on the rainy Hilo side. I emailed customer service asking them about kama'aina rates because although I am a local I have an out of state ID from... More

This place has a great location, location, location right in the middle of downtown KK and yet it is rather quiet, It has a well kept small pool and a pretty good continental breakfast...all for a very reasonable rate. Nothing very fancy here but great value and clean. Friendly staff too. Would definitely come back. As we come here every... More

While the decor and facility are "dated" who needs more when you are going to enjoy the great beautiful outdoors! If you want "polished" go pay way more for an exclusive resort where you will never get to meet the proprietor in person, like I did meet "Uncle Billy" himself, a local elderly Hawaiian gentleman hanging around the front desk...
