Chalet Kilauea

Chalet Kilauea almost hit it out of the park. If you enjoy staying somewhere that’s not bland and basic, you’ll the funky, charming decor. We loved the forest setting, the large room size, table, microwave, fridge, and dish ware. The bed was comfortable. I say ALMOST 10 out of 10 because the water pressure from the shower was weak and even turned to hottest I got cold. Maybe remove the water filter? I can’t book here again unless the shower ha good water pressure! Also, it’d be nice if they offered breakfast items for purchase.

Such a great find! Volcano is a beautiful area, and Chalet Kilauea made our stay a memorable pleasure. The bathroom is large and attractive, like showering in a cave. The kitchen was equipped with a mini fridge, utensils, plates/cups/glasses - everything we needed. The deco was unique. I would recommend.

Clean room with everything you need. Couple fans, wall mounted fireplace heater, dehumidifier which kept the room dry enough though bit louder. Bigger bath with separate dressing area. Very close to Volcano NP and the communication with the host was top notch. Not much food options near Volcano NP but good food in Hilo. Nice little garden area with koi pond. Overall we loved it and we will definitely come back here. PS - Parking like others mentioned can be bit tighter but it was ok. We came in a 4door wrangler and was able to squeeze in without problem. Full size suvs might be a problem. The last spot near exit is big enough to park a full size suv.

HEADS UP as there is no alert with check in or posting anywhere about not drinking the tap water. It never occurred to me this was an issue so I used the water to brush my teeth. Later by happenstance I learned about catchment water in Hawaii and private systems not being tested. This is particularly important after heavy rain when contamination is higher and we arrived after record breaking rainfall. It seems an easy and essential piece of information to provide. Only when I inquired was I informed the tap water was filtered but not treated and “could make you sick.” Needless to say that was not what I expected to hear. That being said this unique funky place is charming and very close to Volcanoes National Park and the staff is very responsive

This was a super cute, unique place to stay. Beautiful property, amazing rooms!! We reserved 3 rooms and all of them were different, spacious, and comfortable.
