What an incredible experience! The staff were so friendly and helpful - the bed was super comfy. Perfect, beautiful breakfast. Such a pleasure to be in the middle of the rainforest - to hear all the wonderful bird songs waking you up in the morning. It was a PERFECT stay and we will definitely be back! D Johnson

We stayed here for two nights and it was amazing. We were in the Umauma Falls bungalow with our 8 year old and it fit the three of us just perfectly. John was great and prepared great breakfasts for our stay. Would absolutely recommend and return, especially with the distance to Volcano National Park (less than 5 min drive.)

I highly recommend staying here. We stayed in the Hina bungalow for two nights and it was perfect. The room was super clean and I am a snob about that. Everything was luxurious and had a great feel. The property was beautiful. John was so nice and helpful checking us in. He gave us good recommendations regarding where to eat and we could tell he was just a very kind person. We loved staying in the rainforest. My husband and I were debating staying here vs the hotel/lodge Volcano House in the National park. We were both glad we stayed at volcano village estates instead for several reasons: 1. When we visited the volcano house for lunch, it was very chaotic with a lot of people whereas Volcano Village estates was serene and calm 2. VVE is so close to the park that being “in” the park didn’t matter 3. The room we had was much much much more luxurious 4. We got breakfast with our stay 5. I think for us it was cheaper at VVE than a room without a crater view at the volcano house…

So peaceful and the staff is amazing! We were greeted with fresh banana muffins and a warm smile. We stayed 3 nights and explored Volcano National Park, great weather for hiking in the morning. The little village of Volcano has a few good choices and several artists studios. We loved our stay, the cottage came with breakfast each morning and it was delicious! We enjoyed staying here and highly recommend.

We booked online for a Kama'aina rate for two nights at the Rainbow Falls Cottage and it was a magical experience: no TV, no wi-fi (there is, but you have to be in the main building for it to work), no phones. Instead, you will hear chirping birds, maybe the meow of the resident cat Pumpkin, the purring and cooing from the group of domesticated pheasants that roam the property, and the coqui frogs at night. Ownership changed from Hale Ohia Cottages to the current Volcano Village Estates after COVID. RAINBOW FALLS COTTAGE: Rainbow falls was larger in person than what it looked like on their website to me, at least. The cottage has small two-person porch, a bedroom, a kitchenette area and bathroom. The porch was small but just right for 2 persons. The chair cushions were kind of worn down but who cares, you're outside! The table had an uneven surface so we put our wine glasses on the porch rails. The main room had a queen sized bed which was rather soft and gave us backaches, but some people may prefer a softer bed. I ended up sleeping on the chaise lounge one night, mostly due to husband's snoring, but I did like the firmness of the lounge chair. Lighting in the room was very well thought-out. You can tell the owners have traveled to hotels and places with poor lighting and made sure this didn't happen on any of their properties (read my review for the Royal Kona Resort); there were many lamps and side-lights which you could use for mood as well as reading/packing. There's a gas fireplace you turn on with a remote, and it kept the room comfortable at night at the end of April, when temps went down into the upper 50s. There's no air conditioner as the temps up by volcanos are cooler. KITCHENETTE: Very well thought out, with small ceramic dishes, bowls, coffee cups, glass drinking glasses and wine glasses and silverware. I packed disposable paper plates because most places I've been to don't supply dishes/utensils, so this was a classy and nice surprise. There's a coffee maker with the inn's signature coffee blend enough for two cups; a mini-fridge with a freezer and a microwave. Breakfast is placed in the fridge daily for you so you can eat it whenever you want. First day it was 4 banana pancakes and a fruit platter. Second day was my favorite with "Volcano Blossoms"; eggs in a tortilla cup (vegetarian) or ham cup, which was very well thought-out and separated with waxed paper. My husband loved the egg in the ham cup. It was super tasty, wish I had the recipe! It also came with a fresh fruit plate. BATHROOM: The shower was a bit dark and small, but it's an old cottage and this was it's charm. There's a flexible shower hose that sometimes started making dripping noises at night, so I'd put the shower hose head down toward the floor and that took care of the problem. Shampoo/conditioner in dispensers on the wall. Mini bar soaps and fluffy, clean, amazing towels provided daily. Very comfy bathrobes also provided and we used those for the hot tub. Hot water plentiful. Toilet has dual-flush system. Seats are cold in the morning, but hey, you're in a rainforest! OTHER: Parking, free, no ridiculous "parking fees" like at other resorts. There is a carport with 3 covered spots but we just parked outdoors on the property. Hot tub near the cottage for use, large towels in a bin. Very relaxing in the early evening hours with a glass of wine, listening to the coqui frogs. The cottages provides you with a flash light so you can walk a few feet back to your cottage without a problem. Most of the cottage lights are already on at night on the porches, so it's not a big problem. We didn't get to see any stars in the night sky when we went as it was overcast, as a treat for us is to see the sky without city light pollution, but if you're able, go out into the evening and see the bright stars and maybe some shooting stars as well. A full moon night would be an extra bonus for ambience. We had a housekeeper named Valerie who kept our cottage spanking-clean. I actually had never seen a cottage or inn-type place that clean before. SPOTLESS. Even the mirrors, every corner, clean. Of course the carpet was a bit worn, but that's due to time, and you're supposed to take your shoes off, Hawaii-style, but I am sure some guest trudge in with shoes, a big no no in Hawaii. Valerie was super friendly and answered all of our questions regarding places to eat, things to see, etc. The lady that checked us in and who was there daily was also very nice. We got texts daily asking us if everything was OK, now that is FIVE STAR!! Although there were other guests, we didn't hear any noise. It was very quiet, serene and calm. At times we found ourselves whispering for no reason at all to preserve the quiet of the place. RETURN FACTOR - 100% YES, next time in the Pineapple Ohana Cottage as it has it's own private hot tub.…

A great little place to stay near Volcanoes National Park. We stayed in the Umauma Falls room and it was perfect for a couple or a family of 3. Breakfast is provided and it was delicious and easy. Staff was helpful and accommodating with a late check-in option. Stay here if you want to spend an entire day at the park!

The bungalows exceeded our expectations...clean, comfortable bed and quiet. John was a terrific and informative host. Hawaiian french toast and fruit in the morning was a real treat! Highly recommend if you are visiting Volcano National Park and want an overnight.

We've just returned from an outstanding excursion to the Big Island where we stayed in the most beautiful and charming bungalows located at Volcano Village Estates. We truly could not have picked a better location to act as our point of departure as we explored the volcanic region of Hilo, Big Island. The team at Volcano Village Estates could not have been more accommodating, and a special thanks must go out to John who went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was both comfortable and well-spent. John and his team were so responsive and remained in communication with texts which made it quite easy to coordinate our arrival, departure, and several other important areas when communication was necessary or beneficial. The breakfast each morning was delicious too (I'm still reminiscing about the yummy French toast), the view was tropical at its best, and the rooms were perfect for our group of 6. We are already excited about future return visits and we would not dream of staying anywhere else in Hilo. We could not recommend this remarkable bread and breakfast styled place to stay in a tropical rainforest paradise. …

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Volcano Village Estates! The setting is stunning - you feel like you've stepped into your own secret garden. The innkeeper John was there to greet us when we arrived. What a lovely person to talk to! This B&B had so sweet details that made our stay really wonderful. Everyone stays in their own little cottage. There was a homemade quiche and fresh fruit plate for us to eat for breakfast the next day. They had a real coffee pot and hot water kettle in the cottage. Wonderful shower products and plenty of towels. I was kicking myself for not staying more nights here. Highly recommend this hotel! It was also a super convenient location for access to the Volcano National Park.
