Summary: Exceptionally clean, thoughtful provision of amenities like shampoo and toothpaste etc., very comfortable bed, delicious healthy breakfast each day, lovely garden. Good advice on things to do in the area. Close to Uncle Robert’s fun music night, market.

Summary: 4th visit to Ma'ukele Lodge, and i always stay in the Hawaiin Room. This place is a real gem. I love the Pahoa rustic vibe, the grounds are so unique, a discovery at every turn. The lave glow is amazing to explore. Rooms are very comfortable, beds are big, linens ard top quality and many smsll touches mske you feel welcome. Fridge and microwave, plates etc to be self sufficient. Breakfast is always amazing, fresh fruits and more, shared with the gekkos on the outside balcony. Raven and Mark make every effort to make your stay engaging, informative and memorable. Try to be there on Wednesday and go down the road to Uncle Roberts night time market, a real local experience.

Summary: As noted in the reviews already posted, if you are accustomed to staying in nice, clean hotels with amenities, or even VRBOs with at least all the comforts of an average home, then I do not recommend a stay here. The hosts are very kind and gracious, but everything else about our stay here was not what we had hoped for. A “true island experience” included wide open doors and some unscreened windows. While we were forewarned about the nighttime “songs” of the frogs, etc., we were not expecting all the bugs (including problematic ants, roaches and gnats) that came along with the open doors and windows. Also to note is that the location is off the beaten path, with very little to see or do nearby. While it looks close on the map, even Volcanoes National Park was an hour’s drive away. Parking there at the lodge for us was not fun, as we were traveling in a large SUV that was very difficult to maneuver into the small parking area provided (especially arriving after dark after long days of sightseeing). Since the hosts were so nice (very helpful and friendly, even made suggestions (with maps) of places to visit, which we really appreciated), I really struggled on whether to leave a review at all. But, as a traveler who relies on people’s honest reviews when making lodging selections, I ultimately decided I needed to leave my honest review.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at this off-the-beaten path bnb. Hosts were very informative and welcoming. Stay here if you want to fall asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds, shower under the moonlight, and breakfast with the geckos. There’s no A/C but plenty of fans kept us cool.

Summary: Outside shower was pleasant experience once I got used to idea! Walk to lava beach on property was extraordinary experience. Breakfast Food was excellent. Hosts were generous, kind and thoughtful. Lack of central air was disappointing but numerous fans helped a lot and open screened windows let breezes in. Still humid though. Loud Background noise of night critters was not a problem. Actually soothing and comforting after a day of traveling.

Summary: The hosts were amazing. A true island experience!
Melanie May 28, 2024 08:03:48 AM
Summary: For those who are looking for authentic travel, look no further. Ma’ukele Lodge bed and breakfast in Pāhoa is a special experience in a stunning location. To me, feels like real Hawaii. I feel honored and grateful to have stayed there and met Raven and Mark. We still feel their Aloha spirit. When I return one day, I will take more outdoor showers, heaven!
LORIE May 18, 2024 01:34:25 PM
Summary: it was like a little magical land with artsy sweet touches, bohemian style, and hosts were thoughtful and caring and cool folks.Lives it.
Dec 25, 2023 07:03:05 AM
Summary: If you want an experience and not a hotel, this is a good place to consider. Don’t complain if you wanted a Marriott; it’s not the Marriott. The hostess and host are kind and genuine. The lodging is nestled in a neighborhood, but it feels almost like a jungle. The shower is outside and is reasonably private. Don’t mind the geckos lingering nearby as you enjoy fresh fruit for breakfast.
Brendan Behan Oct 16, 2022 10:55:07 PM
Summary: If you like hotels with all the amenities, this might not be the place for you. This is an amazing bed-and-breakfast! The house is surrounded by tropical plants and wildlife. All night you will be serenaded by frogs and birds. Our room had an outdoor shower and bath that were private and secluded. Every morning we had coffee and a wonderful fruit bowl. We were also offered eggs and toast. Our hosts, Raven And Mark, were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They had great recommendations on local beaches, local restaurants, and good places to visit all over the big island. I will definitely be staying here again!
