We stayed at the Chalet Kilauea Ginger Cottage for 4 nights in February. The Ginger cottage sits on a great spot. There really is so much potential to be a nice rental, but it is, unfortunately, unmet potential. When we arrived, the cottage was stuffy. We decided to open the windows to air it out. One of the bedroom window... more

My wife and I just returned from 10 days on the Big Island. We stayed in both budget hotels and a beautiful resort. While in Volcano we spent the worst 2 nights that we spent anywhere else. The Ohia Hideaway smelled musty, had mold throughout, bad tap water, inadequate heat and was dirty. They tell you that in Volcano to... more

We stayed at the Hale Ohia Cottage for one night. It was very close to the Volcano National Park, though it was quite an adventure going down the gravel road to get to the cottage. We were very pleased with the cottage on first arrival -- separate bedroom, well stocked kitchen (very important in the Volcano area where the restaurants... more

One of the worst places I've ever slept; we should have slept in the car! My niece booked this place, "the cheapest she could find" in Volcano. Finances may not be her forte, as the entire 6 bedroom house cost us $350+ for the night, and you can rent some very nice private residences and condos for that price. Upon... more

We stayed at the Ohia Hideaway, thankfully for just one night. We arrrived cold and wet from a hike, hoping to warm ourselves by the advertised warm woodstove. It was so dank that the single Duraflame log provided to us when we checked in would not light--we had to use paper towels to get it lit. Worst yet, the small... more

The house was in a lovely setting. The kitchen and second bathroom were not clean. Hair in the tub. Microwasve oven was very dirty. Sink and counters in kitchen were not clean. The house livingroom needs more furniture. Was not comfortable to all sit in there for more than 3 people. more

The Ohia HIdeaway is a one-bedroom cottage operated by the Chalet Kilaueau Collection. It has cute furnishings, and is very quiet. We stayed there from June 20-23, 2007. It cost over $190 a night with tax, but lacked many of the basic amenities one would expect for that price. First, the lighting was so dim it was hard to read,... more

The Chalet Kilauea rents out small houses and rooms. We rented the 3 bedroom house "Pele's Plantation", and we were less than pleased. Our cost was over 250.00 per night, which is higher than any other B&B we have stayed at in Volcano. (We have stayed in about 6 others.) The cost does not include breakfast. You have to pay... more
