Anh and Minh were the loveliest hosts, you will be lucky to stay in their home. They went above and beyond and gave us a genuine Hawaiian welcome. The room was very well put together and was beautiful/clean, exactly what we could ask for! They really made us feel welcome in their home. Thank you!

We were a little worried about the area but John and Anne were super welcoming and the room itself was so clean and well designed that we had a lovely sleep there.

Very nice people and very clean house. Just what we needed for the night.

I enjoyed my stay at Anh's place. She greeted me upon arrival and was very friendly, as was John who I met the next day. The room is attached to the main house with a separate exterior glass sliding door and one interior door that leads to the main house. It was fresh and recently updated, very clean. It does have a private bathroom with step-up shower, which was a nice plus. No A/C but there was a ceiling fan and floor fan which kept the room cool enough. Also, be aware there is no TV, for those who care. Location is a short drive above Kona town, near the shopping and restaurants. It is a working class area and very quiet at night. No loud music or barking dogs... Parking is at a premium on their street but they did have a driveway that was literally a few feet from the door to the room. A bit narrow with rockwalls on the drivers side but I got in and out without too much trouble. I did not get to spend much time with my hosts but they were very gracious and friendly, making sure to ask if I needed anything. Overall, very pleasant stay!

the hosts are very friendly and attentive to any needs or concerns, for me it felt like staying at a friend or relatives house; i felt very comfortable staying there. you have a private parking space right next to the room, it is a little tight to park but doable, and have free use of the kitchen. there were a couple of issues; the sliding door private entrance does not have a lock, and the step up shower can be a bit scary when stepping out of the shower (about a foot down) as there is no grab bar. but they are aware of and working towards rectifying these issues. i would definitely stay there again.

Such a sweet family in Kona ! Don't be turned off by the outside, as they are doing construction - but the room is perfectly clean and simple, and the hosts are lovely and accommodating ! We would definitely stay again. The room is easily much better than any of the hotels in that price range, and we know from experience as we live on the other side of the island. Aloha !

A lovely place with lovely hosts.

Beyond positive. I can't express how amazing my stay was. Rik is so very kind and caring, and so eager to help and inform about the island and all it has to offer. He is a fountain of knowledge and is happy to share it with you. He made my stay very comfortable and I think you would be missing out on a wonderful experience if you didn't stay with him!

Rik was a charming host. The property was delightful. The dogs, Geckos and cat were also very welcoming.

Rik was a great host thank you for the wonderful place to stay

Rik's home is a great place to stay. It's close to Kona but still away from the hustle and bustle of town. Lovely setting with lots of tropical plants around the home. Great lanai to sit on. The resident cat will even sit on your lap for some morning purr time. Dogs are very polite, but do love to be petted. Don't use a GPS to find his home. It takes you into the village. Rik is very concerned with guest safety. He called me when I didn't arrive at the expected time. My plane came in after sunset so it was hard for me to orient. Rik stood out on the road in front of his house to watch for me and direct me in. Select a lower bunk to sleep in. There you will get an amazing view of the bright stars framed by tropical plants. Yummy fresh fruit to pick. The neighbors do have a rooster that sees the glow of light from Kona over the treetops and thinks it is time to crow, even if it's not dawn yet. I would stay at Rik's place again when in the Kona area.

Rik was an excellent host. He always made sure I had everything I needed and that I was comfortable. He made me coffee in the morning, let me borrow books to read and gave advice on activities to do during my stay. I am a solo female traveler and felt extremely safe there. The bunk bed was very comfortable and the jungle view was an amazing backdrop to fall asleep to. I highly recommend Rik. He is a kind soul and great to talk to.

My stay was wonderful. Rik is very welcoming and full of knowledge. Good coffee and conversation, not to mention animals to boot! I would stay here again and again!

This place is not a hostel. It is a home! Just out of Kona. And surrounded by coffee plantations. Rik is very welcoming and only too happy to offer tips and advice. Rik's is very knowledgable and I enjoyed our conversations. Rik's home is tidy and inviting. My only regret is not being able to stay longer.

As soon as I entered Rik's house, I was amazed by the number of books on the shelf and the delicate decoration (e.g. the Hawaiian cupboard in the kitchen, plus I am always obsessed with duplexes, especially when they are wooden). There were a lot of stuff in the house, but they didn't seem crowded or placed randomly at all. The rainforesty feeling made us feel calm and relaxed. I love falling asleep with the bug chorus, and waking up to a world of green. Lona (I hope that's the correct spelling of her name?), Mouse and Moose are perfect existence in the house. They have the spirits of the house. Our housemate John was also warm-hearted and greeted us well. The stay with Rik was an unforgettable experience that we'd feel forever grateful and lucky to have.

The bedroom is pretty big, clean and tidy and got it all....BIG new bed,TV,fridge, towels, beach chairs,coffee machine and AC if you want. For me, I preferred to mingle with Mark and Pla, at their invitation and had my coffees and some meals with them. Great couple, make you feel right at home, and Marks knowledge about the island, and what you need to know to fully appreciate it, is second to none. If he doesn't know something...rare... he will soon find it out for ya!!! Great hosts.......I'll be back!

Mark and Pla were great. I loved their place. They just completed a new remodel. The place was nicely furnished, with a coffee pot and a fridge, in my room. They supplied beach towels, and beach chairs, which we enjoyed. Don,t forget to try the breakfast burritos, and Pla's great Thai food.

I was not expecting this at all. I had trouble finding the tent (it is actually a big camping tent) because the path was poorly lit (the lamps are sensor activated but they turn on late so it's hard to see where you are going. I twisted my ankle trying to go to the bathroom). Since there is no electricity in the tent, I went to the garage to charge my phone and there were flying roaches bigger than I ever seen (I've lived in NYC for 2 years so I know what I'm talking about) and saw 2 rats running around in plain sight. I messaged the host to see if she could provide any other option but no response. I was so grossed out that just locked myself into the tent and didn't come out until down to leave that place. Pretty disappointing experience.

It was really great staying here. A friend and I days for 3 nights. It was nice and clean and we loved all the lights in the backyard. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. They provided sunscreen, bugspray, shampoo, soap and conditioner. Even toothpaste. It was really lovely to use the outdoor shower and restroom.

We enjoyed our time there and were very comfortable. They have a beautiful outdoor shower and bathroom and a nice sitting area to relax outside the tent.

We loved it! Living in a tent is exactly what you need on Big Island if you wanna experience some adventuretime! They're really nice people too, we had a great time! Thank you!

Everything perfect and as described.

Amazing place 5 minute walk from magic sand beach his bathroom and shower feel so cozy even though it's outside he has light sensors everywhere so when you walk at night you can see and his bulldog is the nicest dog I played with him for about half an hour and the host was so friendly makes you feel safe and was extremely easy to contact

This is a place we do recommend to everyone who wants to visit Kona. Nice, helpful, friendly hosts, perfect accommodation! This is not just a tent, this is sultan's tent! We could live there for ever! Kseniya & Tomasz

The tent in the back was perfect for our one night stay. Said hello to the host briefly but had our own privacy the whole time. Absolutely loved the way the outdoor shower and bathroom were decorated. Very convenient if you're just planning to crash in Kona for the night or 2.

Earl and Arlene are great hosts! This is our first Airbnb experience and they went above and beyond with everything that you need. Their ohana is really lovely. I appreciate that they really put a lot of thought into it. They're quick to respond and very thoughtful. Would definitely book their place again if we're ever back in Big Island

Earl and Arlene havecreated a lovely one bedroom studio with a private entrance. They offer all the amenities along with helpful hints about the area. Great location away from the hub bub of a tourist town and easy to get to attractions within 10 minutes.

This little slice of paradise is just what your looking for on the Big Island! Clean, quiet and amazing hosts. Arlene and Earl are great people with big hospitality and customer service out of this world. All the amenities you could ever need! These two do airbnb right!We will be booking with them again in the future. Such a great oasis!!

Earl and Arlene are wonderful hosts and were quick to communicate throughout. Their place is very comfortable for two people, really clean, offers nice privacy, and makes for a great home-away-from home for your visit to Kona. They've even put added attention to stocking kitchen (and other) items that guests need but may not have with them. Though a bit of a drive into the heart of Kailua-Kona, their location offers peace, quiet, and rejuvenation after your days of snorkeling, swimming, hiking, etc. We highly recommend Earl and Arlene's home for your stay!

This is an amazing place. Earl and Arlene are really nice and made sure that we checked in fine and that we had everything. Their place is located in a quiet, cool area which was perfect for us! I would definitely recommend anyone coming to kona to stay with them!

Kaloko Hale is exactly as advertised, and reviewed by the previous guests. It is far enough away from the main town which gives it that peaceful country feeling. The only sounds you usually hear are provided by nature. If you need to get to town, it is easily and quickly accessible. Earl and Arlene are terrific. They are very busy, so as not to bother you, but easy to get a hold of if you need help or advice. Unfortunately, they did not seem interested in adopting me, so I hope to remain good friends with them for a long time to come. Mahalo to a wonderful couple who allowed me to share in their piece of paradise.

This is a cute little 1-br apartment attached to Earl and Arlene's home. It has a private entrance, parking outside the door, and a little porch with a table and chairs perfect for sipping coffee and looking down the mountain to the ocean. Lots of Kona coffee farms nearby, as well as Kona town just down the mountain. We met Earl and Arlene briefly and they are really sweet and helpful with area recommendations. We would happily return.

Earl and Arlene are wonderful hosts! They were so sweet and so accommodating even with our late check in. They were always willing to say hi and give us recommendations, but let you have your space too. The apt is PERFECT. Spotlessly clean with plenty of room for my husband and I, and the bathroom is wonderful, I'm talking about that fab jetted tub. The location was wonderful for exploring the island, with easy access to everywhere we wanted to go. We really appreciated the welcome basket as well as all the little extras that made this the most well stocked Airbnb I've ever experienced. Thank you so much Arlene and Earl!!

Best Airbnb-hosts ever! !!!We loved to stay at Kentons place. The Hut is just awesome and cozy and Nova and Kenton are such great and welcoming people. We would love to stay there again soon!!!!

Staying in Kenton's hut was a beautiful and peaceful night. We really enjoyed to feel the nature around. The bathroom is also very authentic feeling with rocs on the floor. All in good harmony with nature. And Kenton himself is very interesting and kind. He is a great host! Thank you so much!

The nights in the hut were a wonderful experience. We did sleep very well. The outdoor bathroom, with shower, was also fun. What is more back to nature than walking the grass with bare feet to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night! The trunk for storing our goods made us feel comfortable when we made our trips on the island. We were lucky using Kenton's fridge because it was hot. And in the evening we spend our time in their kitchen and had great interaction with the kids and Kenton's dad. We recommend this place to everyone who wants to sleep in almost open air.

THIS PLACE WAS SO COOL AND GREAT AND AMAZING AND I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE. Kenton is so stinking hospitable and and so funny! Loved this quiet place to unwind and enjoy Hawaii!

This spot is beautiful and unique and authentic. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating.

This place was amazing. Gives a great sense of the Aloha spirit.

It was great! Such a fun experience.

As promised beautifuly constructed Hawaiian hut. We had a few hour of rain and not a drop inside it held up to the elements amazingly well. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean air and looking at the stars. Quick access to town 5-8 minutes. Shower in the morning was luke warm I believe due to size of water heater. Backyard was lush and inviting. A great experience! Thanks

Wonderful updated clean and posh place. Great location close to town. Wish we could have stayed here longer. Jenn was a great host!

A perfect getaway 15 minutes away from Hualalai. Newly renovated, a cozy place enough to really relax yet spacious enough to accommodate a family with kids. Jenn, the owner is great - from the beginning of our inquiries to checkout and thereafter she made sure everything went well.

Jenna's place was awesome. Very comfortable, clean and conveniently located. The lanai was beautiful and we appreciated access to beach towels and chairs. She was also super communicative. And also, unexpectedly gave us a bottle of champagne since I'd mentioned it was our honeymoon:-) highly recommended and we'd stay here again.

It was a one-story room upstairs. Private space is protected. It was a residential area, but it was a wonderful house where the chirping of insects and birds was heard. I was able to spend a cool time in a wonderful house with cold water and ice.

We really enjoyed our stay in Jenns guest home. It truly felt like home and had all the necessary amenities. Jenn was friendly and easy to communicate with. Checking in and out was a breeze. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and cozy. I would definately stay here again!

Jenn's place - Hale Kini is great. Is a lovely place where my parents and I felt like right at home. Hale Kini is located in a very nice neighborhood, where you can relax but still be close to all the cool spots on the Kona side of Hawaii island. The place has everything you will need for feeling like at home while vacationing in Hawaii. Jenn was very responsive and attentive during our stay. Even though we never meet in person she was always available and make sure we were having a good time at her place. We enjoyed waking up to the sound of the birds and having our breakfast at the cute covered lanai! If you are planning to stay on the Kona side of the Island i will totally recommend that you stay at Jenn's place you will enjoy it as much as we did! Thank you Jenn for your hospitality. We look forward to visit again in the future. Cheers, Paula

Thank you for everything Jenn! We spent an unforgettable time in this apartment! I can highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to go to Kalua-Kona! Definitely the best Airbnb I have been!

Beautiful view and fairly close from downtown. Very quiet and beautiful place. Host Mark is a great guy, I loved it here

Brenda's property is absolutely stunning. Waking up to an ocean view every morning was incredible, and falling asleep to the koki (koko?) frogs every night was a real Hawaiian experience. Chrissy, my co-host, was absolutely lovely and was kind enough to give me a tour, along with her boyfriend, of the farm. A perfect place for anyone who doesn't mind staying outside of the city and getting closer to nature - mahalo Brenda, Chrissy, et al for such a wonderful stay!

The locations is exquisite but a little harder to find in the dark. Loved the open air living accommodations and the property is impeccably clean. Brenda was on site to meet me and the other hosts were so helpful with directions in/around Kona and for helping me plan my day in Kona.

Great time, best host ever! Super friendly and helpful. Great value place.

Had a great stay with Pati! They were very helpful with any questions that I had and the property was very clean and as described. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area

A very nice flat not too far from the centre of Kona (15-20min walk). The host was very nice and helpful.

Nice, clean place. Friendly hosts and a 20-30 minute walk into town (and a five minute Uber drive back).

Excelent apartment and host. The apartment exceeded our expectation. Pati was very friendly, even borrowed some snokling gears for us. Strongly recommend staying there. Main restaurants area is about 1.5 miles from the condo. We took uber/taxi at the night but it could be easly walked also.

If I were to do my choice of host I should have started it at Pati's place. Very convenient in location. Very close to Kona beach and close to any event you want to jump into. Pati is amazing. She makes any female guest feel welcome and safe. Definitely rebooking at her place when visiting the big island. Mahalo!!!

Within walking distance, or a short Uber ride from Kona restaurants, bars, and shops. It was a clean, quiet place to spend a couple of nights over the weekend.

Thank you so very much, dear Rosie for helping me out and hosting me for one night. Because of unexpected circumstances I needed a very short termed solution for one night in Kona. I contacted Rosie at 8 p.m. and at 10 p.m. I was already in cosy, very clean, warm room and bed. Rosie is outstandingly friendly, helpful and lovely. And offered her help far beyond the description on airbnb. All information given on airbnb are absolutely true. My best wishes for her, her family and hopefully always having nice guest, aloha Miriam

Sean & Rosie were very accommodating in my needs and short notice request. The check-in was a breeze and the place was really cute. It was so close to the airport which was perfect for my flight out the next day. I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay there and I would definitely stay there again.

Rosie is a very lovely host and easy to communicate with at any time. The flat was very clean and lovely. My friend and I slept on a nice bed. The apartment is very good located and safe, but a car is needed. Close to the airport and to the beach. We felt like at home. We can recommend that apartment! thank you for the nice stay!

Loved staying here! I booked last minute and Sean & Rosie were so sweet and accommodating and super responsive to any questions I had. The room was exactly as described and I felt like I had a little home away from home!

Entire place was clean and just what we needed. Sean and Rosie were very welcoming and we would recommend to anyone
