Independent in Pahala

"Parking was easy, but my room was a bit dirty upon arrival with spider webs and literal dust on things. There was a dehumidifier but it was empty and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. They were supposed to come pick up my registration so I thought they'd fix the humidifier then (80% humidity in the room) but no one ever came. The free amenities they have in the guest supply is just one very bad shampoo and a little bar soap (which was okay). The kitchen is very minimal and has nothing to label your items with. I never came across another guest in the property, but I know they were there because doors would open/closer. Very great location, but there are many many options in this town where you may get better amenities with an actual host that would prepare and care for your room"

"It was absolutely amazing. Room was clean and has a little kitchen stuff which is really helpful. Check in/out process was smooth."

"This property is midway between Volcano and Kona off of Rt 11. It has beautiful grounds and the owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It’s fairly remote so you must drive to whatever you need. The room was spacious and clean. There’s no air conditioning and it was uncomfortably humid in the room. The shower is very narrow and the bathroom is up 3 steps in the room. Morning coffee didn’t offer much in terms of milk or cream, just flavored containers of half/half. However, there’s a great bakery in town for espresso coffee and treats."

"Location are awesome😀😊 and is very quiet place perfect for relaxation 😊front desk staff was friendly 😃 Thank you we will staycations again in future!"

"Love this tropical paradise"

"Terrible"

"It was kinda like a duplex cabin! Clean and comfortable!"

"It was advertised as a charming room with a view of a Japanese garden and koi pond. We found it no better than a low budget motel with a poorly maintained pond and a dead fish floating in it. The "kitchen" was adequate with a small counter set much too high, a tiny coffee maker, microwave and a mini fridge. There was an ice tray provided in the refrigerator but was useless because it leaked through multiple cracks. The shower also had a large buildup of hair in the drain cover."

"Great place to stay for the distance from Volcano National Park. Great check in experience & clean quite room"
