10/10 Exceptional

What an amazing experience to have a beautiful little cottage, nestled in the rainforest area with a beautiful waterfall looking right out. Your door via accommodations were wonderful, Axel the owner was just a delight if you ever want an off the beaten path, but not that far away from Hilo beautiful experience where you could swim and experience your own private waterfall. I highly recommend it.

Clean and private cabin within earshot of waterfall and a million coqui frogs. Friendly and helpful staff provided all we needed for a relaxing stay. The only negative we experienced was the poor WiFi, which we needed for trip planning and checkout.

Beautiful land around the cabin, we walked to the waterfall and it was really peaceful

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful place to rest and adorns time with family. Peaceful and beautiful. The staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

I loved the disconnect from everything while being so close to Hilo. It was a beautiful and welcomed country retreat with the sound of the frogs and waterfall and rain to lull us to sleep! We had an amazingly comfortable time and enjoyed the surroundings immensely. Thank you so much! Mahalo!

This place is surrounded by nature. It’s a glamping experience as you are surrounded by the waterfall and various animals. You can even swim in the waterfall. They have 2 restrooms and showers, kitchen, dining, and tv about 20 feet from your sleeping area shared by guests from 3 lodges. They clean the restrooms and kitchen area daily.

Check-in was a bit quirky, but the location is great with a beautiful backdrop. Note: there's no AC, so it was a little warm at night. We briefly didn't have hot water and stove gas, but it was fixed within an hour. Overall, I’d recommend this place.

We enjoyed our staff. Perf3xr amount of space for the six in our group. I expected to check in at a central location but instead, found the rental (finally). It was unlocked and there was a welcome note and binder with information for our stay. There is no cellular service, so we were unable to contact the property to confirm the check in process. Overall good stay. It was awesome listening to the frogs and wildlife at night!

Living with nature.

The trip to the bathroom at night was a problem for seniors. Must sign in after 3:00pm or no one is there. Living with nature, the sounds of birds and frogs, all the different plants and flowers, a fun experience.

Kikala Waterfall Lodge is a unique experience. Nature is your lullaby. We fell asleep to the sound of flowing water, croaking frogs, and the birds chirping. The rain shower added to the experience. The cabin was clean. The lodge had all you would need -kitchen, bathroom with shower, a living space with couch and chairs. We enjoyed the easy hike to the waterfall and opted not to swim due to cloud cover. The grounds have all you except to see in a Hawaiian rainforest. It is not your traditional hotel experience, but a step into Hawaiian life.

Beautiful property with new private cabins. Common area exceptional- with clean new restrooms and fully equipped kitchen/dinning area. Stream and waterfall is beautiful running below the cabins. Peaceful with the gurgling steam and chirping frogs. Sunrises on the hill is an added plus. Axel was extremely welcoming and educated us on the trees And plants he has planted. He is passionate about his property and happy to share with others. Highly recommend!

2/10 Poor

This was horrrrrrrivle. No office /no staff. No main lodge or anything that I could find. Roaming the property for hours at night and apparently I was at the neighbors. No signage saying that the main lodge isn’t someone’s private cabin??? Broken doors. No working WiFi. No cell service so I couldn’t call or email or message anyone to try to even find it or my room. Horrrrrible
Michelle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was beautiful but was freezing. Heavy rain the whole time. Pack as if you’re going camping with warm clothes, coats, socks, sneakers. No heater in cabin. Bad weather meant we couldn’t go down to see the waterfall or surrounding area. The place has potential but it wasn’t worth the money for us.

Utrolig koselig plass, hyggelig vertskap. Gøy med morgenbad i fossen.

10/10 Exceptional

This has been one of the most special places I’ve ever been to. The sounds of the forest at night are surreal and can touch your soul. I’ve only spent one night at the cabin but I will never forget my time here. The cabins are super cute, clean, and comfortable. The short path to the lodge with bathrooms is marked by some torches on the ground at night. The sky cleared up in the middle of the night so I could enjoy the stars while walking to the lodge. AMAZING.
