We stayed in the cottage and it was exceedingly charming and comfortable. Staff were truly kind and gracious, and we had two great meals at the main restaurant. The nature trail on the property was a nice bonus. Great location near the national park and close to other restaurants, too. Staying at the Kilauea Lodge was the highlight of our trip.

Fantastic spot, rustic and older facilities but all in good clean shape. Newly renovated bathrooms by the look of them. Really cosy feel, staff over-the-top friendly. Was a little leery due to the state of most places in Volcano but this was a fantastic suprise. So close to all the great hiking spots. Food in the restaurant was tasty.

We were looking for a place to stay close to the national park. This lodge was the perfect place for us! It was very close to the park entrance, the rooms were very clean, staff was kind and the hot tub was great! We also went to the restaurant for dinner which was good. All in all this is a great option for those looking to stay near the national park.

My husband and I stayed here for one night after exploring the national park just a few minutes down the road. The staff who greeted us at check-in were so friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable with plenty of space. We enjoyed dinner in our room from the on-site restaurant where we also had breakfast prior to checking out. I highly recommend eating here and checking out the gift shop full of Hawaiian goods. Also, in the gift shop is a cooler of wine/beer which can be enjoyed in the comfort of your room. The staff was gracious enough let us borrow wine glasses and a corkscrew for the night. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay while visiting the national park. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Our 1 night stay and dinner at Kilauea lodge was a highlight of our 10 day vacation. The lodge was comfortable and felt like a true Hawaiian experience. I loved the sounds of the rainforest after dark. So unique! The hosts and restr staff were incredible. Our dinner at the restaurant was the best of our entire trip. I had the catch of the day and my husband has a steak. I will highly recommend to anyone going to the big island in the future.

What a wonderful resort that's only a 5 minute drive to the entrance of Volcano National Park. The rooms are quaint with little fireplaces, a comfortable bed and bath. Hot tub to enjoy. Had breakfast at the restaurant and enjoyed crab cake eggs benedict and corned beef hash. Laid back and relaxing!

A classic
This is a very classic place. The grounds are lovely and so close to Volcanic National Park. The gift shop has very nice items at reasonable prices. The restaurant (although a little dark) is handy and serves great food and drinks. Although it’s an old establishment, it doesn’t have that worn and tired look. Has a patina.
