We had a wonderful stay at the Volcano Forest Inn. The large room, access to the full kitchen/common area, the quiet location surrounded by the rainforest, and the private deck allowed us to enjoy a relaxing visit. The inn has a great location just outside the national park. We were able to stop at several places before they became busy. There was a good amount of information on the area and a tv with current info on the volcano. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Overall, it was a great visit that I strongly recommend.

Aidan

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The property is very basic. No glasses or tissues in the bathroom, although glasses are available in the shared kitchen. The host, Jon, is very friendly. The location, as shown on Google maps, is incorrect. Better instructions before arrival are essential. The beds are comfortable but the bedding is too heavy for the climate. This is an acceptable choice but is only okay, not great. $80 cleaning fee for a basic room is excessive.

Friendly quiet and secluded.

John, the owner was an awesome host. The property is just minutes away from Volcanos National Park which was very important for us. The area where this place is is very quiet and secluded, perfect for us. I highly recommend this place.

Secluded spot, large rooms, helpful owner

The rooms are very large - I could easily have slept in the walk-in closet - and the kitchen on site was very convenient. The hotel is set back quite a ways from the road and the site is quiet. The owner was lovely and let me borrow a garden hose after our rental car got covered in volcano debris - very much appreciated, and definitely above and beyond!

Having booked this online, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The inn is in the rainforest, and very charming. Our host greeted us upon arrival and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Everything was very clean, spacious, and conveniently located to Volcano National Park. I highly recommend staying here.

Good base for exploring Volcano National Park

Nice place, very quiet location. Secluded setting was a little difficult to find at first. Entrance is a long gravel road into a rain forest like location. Not a B&B, but the management provides coffee, teas, fruit, packaged pastries and other items in a large shared kitchen. Location is less than a mile from the entrance to Volcano National Park. Check in and out were done by following instructions on a extensive text message. Be aware that Volcano is a very small town so meal options are a little limited. There's a very nice but expensive resort restaurant and perhaps three owner operated small restaurants. Overall a very nice place to stay.
