Top Rainbow Falls Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

Hilo Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

Howzit Hostels Hawaii

10/10 Excellent

Hilo Bay Oceanfront B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely stay here! The rooms are lovely as are the hosts. It's right on the water, a short walk or drive to the main shops & farmers market. Also a short drive to many lovely beaches. The breakfast was incredible - and they even accomodated gluten-free. Really great overall, great deal and we'll stay again if on Hilo!"

Old Hawaiian B and B

10/10 Excellent

"It was a convenient place to say in the Hilo area. Owner was helpful. Breakfasts were yummy."

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"The room came with an amazing view and had good facilities. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it would've been lovely with the sunset. The kitchenette was well stocked and the room and hostel was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend for someone to stay here."

Hilo Apartment w/ Lanai - 2 Mi to Beaches!

8/10 Good

"Interior design nicely arranged, but pricey for what it really is. Clean, good communication with host. Location OK, close to downtown hilo, breach front if you have a car, but surroundings of the appartment are not fantastic, Table for dinner is tiny, can fit 2 guests but not 4, what made dinner as a family of 4 challenging..."

Hale Kawehi B&B Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing house, with about 4-5 rooms all to ourselves. There was full kitchen and cooking facilities, and some snacks and cooking materials (milk, sauces, etc) had been left for us to use. Each room was an Aladdin's cave of souvenirs and oddities, attached to the wall or ceiling. There was an amazing little garden, with a pond, which had some very noisy frogs in it. There was veranda and porch, so we could sit outside and have a drink. It was like living in a hobbit house or something out of a fairy tale, and made the experience truly magical. Shops were a 20min walk or 5min drive away, but once shopping was done there was a huge fridge to store it all in. All mod cons were there, TV, aircon (in the bedroom), shower, wifi, etc. There was even a cheap laundry service with 24h return. It also had a free covered off-road parking space. If you want somewhere to stay that is truly memorable, stay here. It beats a boring hotel any day!"
