The property owners were absolutely wonderful to my husband and myself. We were there celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary and they actually cut a bouquet of fresh flowers to give to us as a celebratory gift. Absolutely stunning. Too bad we couldn’t bring it back to the mainland. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy hotel. The fact that no children are allowed makes it even better. It’s a guaranteed quiet spot for people who are wanting to get away together in the peace and quiet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The property is very secluded, and we loved feeling like we were in the rainforest (especially at night with all of the singing frogs). The hosts were extremely kind and accommodating. Honestly one of the best stays we’ve had in recent years!

Thank you for the 5 star review. Just to let other travelers know, we are very close to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens and the 4 mile Scenic Drive. Island Goode's is a 5 minute drive to Old Hilo Town and 12 minutes to the Hilo International Airport.

What a great place!
Goode’s was truly an awesome place to stay. The facility is beautiful inside and out. It is solar powered. The host and hostess are gracious. The view of Hilo Bay is special. There is also a view of Maura Kea a short walk up the road. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates grace and beauty.

The Goode's have a lovely compound just north of Hilo. Its close to the highway, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. They have a handful of various rooms, that are tastefully decorated with nice little touches throughout. Its like visiting your friends/family in the country, but the accommodations are classy and clean, and the surrounding property is well maintained and beautiful. You get a comfortable bed, lots of room, and nice furniture inside the room. Also, there is comfortable chairs, hammocks, and loungers to relax under the shade on the porch in front of each room. They owners grow lots of fruit trees and share their fruit with their guests. They are very responsive and take a genuine interest in your comfort and happiness while in their care. But they also give the guest plenty of space and privacy. But they are there anytime you need them, and are very friendly and nice people! Its not cheap, but its not expensive. It IS good value. Also, if you are looking for a longer stay, call Garvin, and he can offer a good rate on extended stays, for travellers and people in the Hilo area there on business.

This hotel choice really made our entire Hawaii trip so sweet, refreshing and upscale - definitely would recommend it over standard Holiday Inn etc. We took their cheapest room - but even that was so well kept and well-equipped and they have such a lovely property with greens and birds etc. And their behavior made us feel at home too.

This is a wonderful, quiet, clean relaxing place to call home base. Our room was large, and very clean with every available convenience in could imagine. Our bed was made daily, our coffee was restocked as well as the filtered water. Sitting out on own lanai planning our day or talking about the days activities in the evening was very relaxing.

Perfect Place for our 12 day travels on the Big Island. The grounds are beautiful, quiet, private and very serene. Just a short drive from Hilo on the Coastal Highway. So quiet and secluded that the dark night sky can be seen for beautiful stargazing. We stayed in the Mauna Kea room with all the comfort and cleanliness of home.

Aloha Anonymous, We are sorry that someone did not read our listing on Expedia carefully enough before booking the “1st Story Tower in the Trees”. We have 5 rooms and the other 4 are much larger in size 398, 400, 484, and 527sq ft. for a small amount more. The 1st Story room size is listed as 183 sq.ft on our listing. This is our smallest room, cheapest room with an Ocean View. We are 5 minutes from Old Hilo Town and 12 minutes from the airport. We are sorry you didn’t read The “Welcome Letter” that you received and sign for. All the information about your room/property are listed like, 9pm to 9am quite time, park anywhere on our property, even on the grass. Nothing odd about having a microwave on the covered lanai/patio, very common in Hawaii. Check out our outside Tiki Kitchen under the Gazebo, lots of kitchen items. To future Guests, please check out our 3D walk around of our rooms on our site to help make your choice of rooms easier. The more research the better. Our goal is for you to have a great experience, so choose for you and your partner wisely. Mahalo

I liked staying at Island Goodes very much and would definitely recommend it to friends and family! The owners were friendly, but also respected guests privacy and did not approach them, rather maintaining a "contact us if you'd like" atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home since the property is a bed and breakfast, as opposed to a hotel. The owners live on site and are available if you have any issues but guests should be aware that they are not booking a hotel room so there isn't a desk staff available 24/7, room service, breakfast on site, pool or amenities such as this, nor are they advertised, but I think it's important for people to know this ahead of time so if these things are important to them they should look for a hotel. I personally preferred this, as I really did feel like I was in a home like atmosphere. The rooms do have the things you need to feel at home such as fridge, kitchen table, microwave, couch, tv, etc and were spacious, comfortable and very clean. My husband and I enjoyed our visit and if we make it back to the big Island, we will not hesitate to book Island Goodes again!

Aloha Chris, Thanks for the 5 star review. What a great way to explain Island Goode's! We do advertize a more private stay, but we are here for our guests and we do want your stay to be awesome. Thanks for noticing. We build our house as a Guest House, so all rooms have private entries and private bathrooms for a more private stay. We do not have a 24/7 staff, but we have a very easy self-check-in that works great. We do offer breakfast, but only if booked through our website and only during the booking process. We also have a 3D tour of all of our rooms, so you can really see the layout of each room. Thanks again for staying with us and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo

A welcome bit of peace and tranquility . . .
We loved our stay at Island Goode's. We stayed in the tower room and found it to be both comfortable and unique. The views were amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano had stopped erupting, so there was no view at night of the lava flow. We loved the sound of the chirping frogs. And, we liked the location, far enough from downtown Hilo to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to Hilo for restaurants, shopping, etc.

The location was ideal to explore places in and around Hilo. The place was surrounded by lot of trees and we could see ocean from our Lanai. The host was kind enough to offer us bananas hanging at their place. The room itself was well furnished with all necessary amenities and was clean. It is a little difficult to find the property in dark. The only down side is it is not at Hilo itself so places for dining and beaches are about 30min away . We had a great time at Island Goode’s.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We are glad you had a great time staying with us. To future guests, we do send out an email with written directions 3 times. Once upon making the reservation, another 30 days before your arrival and another the same day of arrival, just in case you forgot to bring your confirmation with you. This also has a link to Google Maps for you to click on and it gives our exact location, so we are very easy to find. Also, Honolii Beach is just 5 minutes away from Island Goode's...sorry you missed it. Also 3 great restaurants are 10 minutes from our location in Old Hilo town. Please come again!
