"Property was nice. Service was great. Place is dated but probably the best hotel in the area. No high end resorts in Hilo that I could find. Food and drinks were good. Small pool but was clean and nice view of ocean. Also I think you can only valet you vehicle which could get expensive if you are there multiple nights in addition to reset fees. It Was $75 extra for fees and valet plus tips for 1 night. Was satisfied w resort for the one night airport stay. "

"Loved our stay! Beautiful property and views! Would love to go back!"

"We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful private oceanfront home. Sunrises were beautiful! It is a bit north of Hilo so it was at least a 20 minute drive if we chose to go out to eat. Being on the “wet” side of the island, we experienced intermittent rain almost every day, which gave us lush tropical views and the rain did not prevent us from getting out and experiencing nature everyday. The location was ideal for us otherwise, as we traveled all over the island and didn’t intend to just hang out in Hilo. Having the rooms on either side of the home was ideal for us. Each couple had their own space away from each other, as well as their own outside area. One thing the others in our group found challenging was that the counters are set higher than normal counter height. Even though there is no air conditioning we found the air flow with the breeze off the ocean and windows open worked great for cooling the place down at night when we got back from exploring."

"It’s a utilitarian budget hotel without some pretty standard amenities like AC or in room WiFi, but for what it is it’s fantastic. Very close to some beautiful parks, and the bay views are great. "

"Staff was wonderful, charming little hotel. Banana bread, coffee and fruit for breakfast was great! Loved having a kitchen. Allowed us to use the towels even after our check out so we could go to the beach and drop them off on our way to the airport. "

"Quiet, short drive to downtown, staff are very friendly and helpful. I will come back! Mahalo "

"Awesome service..friendly staff"

"The Wild Ginger offers the true big island lodging experience. Staff is young, very friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable, clean and have a lovely vintage vibe. Anyone that has something negative to say about this hotel probably shouldn't be visiting this island. This place rocks! Stay Here!"

"Mahana House was a lovely, well-appointed lodging. The room was very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the comfy robes, lanai for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and the yummy fruit we picked on the farm. The shared kitchen and laundry had everything we might have overlooked. We even enjoyed fresh homemade banana bread from the housekeeper, Val. We grabbed a cooler and beach towels for day trips. We were able to do laundry before leaving. The nearest restaurants were back in Hilo, but the drive was easy and scenic. If you are looking for a relaxing, comfortable place to stay, then Mahana House will be perfect for you. "
