My husband and I stayed there for four nights and we had the most wonderful time there. Every morning was a different type of fresh cut fruit, mostly grown in the property and home bake goods. It was delicious! The room was small but comfortable and was exactly what we were looking for. The property and location was great too. It was a 10 minutes walk to rainbow falls and 5 minutes drive to downtown Hilo.

In a quiet, pretty residential neighborhood but not far from places to see and eat in town. It was such a nice sanctuary after driving in town traffic and loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs. Relaxing room and nice bathroom; no television, but was able to stream on our laptop with the wifi. Breakfasts on the lanai were lovely. Was introduced to some new tropical fruit, and Lory made two kinds of delicious baked goods each morning and sweetly offered to pack leftovers for us to take on our outings. Would absolutely stay here if in Hilo again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is located well above Hilo in a very quiet neighborhood. We walked up the road 1/2 mile to see the Boiling Pots on the river and also admired the varied uses of hardened lava in people’s landscaping. The breakfast was sumptuous! Two kinds of homemade breads, a fresh smoothie, tropical fruit cup, yogurt and eggs. Welcoming and accommodating hosts. Next time we will opt for a larger room than Bamboo, which is small for 2 people.

This is our kind of BnB - simple but everything we need, quiet and natural surroundings. The lanai is shared between the three rooms and has a small fridge, microwave, and electric kettle. Breakfast featured fruits picked from the trees on the property.

Old Hawaiian B&B is a great option
The owner, Lory, was kind, courteous, a great baker and a wealth of knowledge about the island. Her B&B is in a great location to see the sites that Hilo has to offer. We had a wonderful experience!

We stayed in the smallest room, which was the only one available for our dates. Bathroom was tiny, but bedroom was fine, with a king bed. Absolutely everything you would need is there, or on the common porch, from guide book to umbrellas to insect repellent to beach towels…you get the idea. Common fridge on the porch, along with microwave, dishes, kettle for tea or hot cocoa.beautiful backyard stretching to the river, very peaceful. Breakfast consists of a fruit smoothie or fresh squeezed juice, a lot of fresh fruit, boiled egg, 2 types of delicious homemade bread and/or muffins, yougurt, coffee or tea. Our hostess- you only see her at breakfast unless you call her, is very pleasant and informative. Walking distance to Boiling Pots, and 2 minute drive to rainbow falls. Maybe 5 minutes to downtown Hilo.very enjoyable, relaxing stay. Would definitely stay again.

Lori, the owner and our host, was wonderful. A before breakfast walk to the Boiling Pots usually meant a lot of, "friendly good mornings" to and from the neighbors out with their dogs. Breakfasts on the lanai were not only delicious but included freshly baked banana bread and fruit from trees growing on the property. As a side note, the water is exceptional coming from a municipal source. Lori also spent whatever time we needed to answer questions and relay pertinent information about the area. A bit of a drive to downtown Hilo but quick and easy. Regarding the rooms, and we didn't consider this a downside, as it is easy to see in the photos on their website, but it should be noted the Bamboo Room was a bit compact for those used to the expansive nature of modern upscale accommodations. So if that is a problem, one of the other rooms may be a better choice. No hesitation, we would stay there again, in the Bamboo Room, and recommend it to anyone going to Hilo. Steve and Linda
