Very nice cabin for family. The treat basket was delicious with papaya, bananas, and danish. The 2 gallons of water were good for consumption. Catchment water was good for bathing and dish washing. Staff personnel are low stress with an easy process. We'll be back.

I loved this place, stayed in August with my adult children, plenty of room, loved sitting outside in the mornings, star gazing at night. Extra nice touch of fruit and muffins for breakfast, thanks to everyone for making this a memorable vacation!

It was a great value. Very clean and close to Volcanos National Park. Only thing I would suggest would be a new mattress on the ned and a microwave.

Peaceful, comfortable suites in montane forest

Very quiet setting. We stayed in the Wolfie Suites, which were very clean and had a nice sitting room in addition to the bedroom. Very comfortable beds. There are no staff on the premises and you have to check in at a store which is a few minutes drive away. They prefer to know in advance exactly what time you expect to arrive for check in. Location only a mile from the park entrance was great.

Great clean quaint lodge. Beautiful outlook in very quiet area. Special touch of fruit and goodies for breakfast and a huge bottle of water daily as water is not potable in the Volcano region. Office located at a nearby store which directions are clearly noted when booking the accommodation. Would definitely stay again.

Our cottage was at the edge of the jungle, and we fell asleep both evenings to lovely birds singing throughout the night. The water dripping from wet leaves onto the rooftop was also soothing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I really enjoyed my stay. The check in location was hard to find and located inside a convenience store, but they had very clear email instructions and it was on me for not reading carefully. Every staff I encountered was super welcoming, and complimentary snacks and fruits were provided. The area is a 5 min drive to Volcano national park, and there’s a Thai restaurant within walking distance. I have nothing to complain.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was charged “Ace Hardware” which messed up the credit card trying to claim the travel expense. Check in and out were in a convenient store and was contacted multiple times about exactly what time we will be there. The couch and bed were extremely uncomfortable and my husband could barely fit in the closet like shower.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location for accessing Volcano National Park and related attractions. Room was quiet/secluded. Check-in ends at 5:30pm so we had to make alternative arrangements to get room access. It was fine. However, nowhere in the booking is it mentioned that water is non-potable. Maybe that's common in the area but it seems like an important detail. Bathroom needs some maintenance.

Lynn

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Positives: located two miles outside Volcanoes Nat’l Park, very peaceful, bed is small but comfortable, was reasonably clean, and the staff was super friendly. They left a nice little basket with a couple of bananas, etc. Negatives: aside from a newer frig, everything else seems to be from the 70’s and not in a cool retro way—in a falling apart, worn out way. Dish towels and dishes were old, matted, sticky. The musty, mildew smell was powerful. Was overpriced relative to its condition; glad we had it booked for just one night.
