Place was more than we ever thought. Super clean, super cool. No lobby, self checkin. Pool table in great room. Just a really cool exercise experience. My wife was apprehensive as she likes traditional hotel, but even she was over the top

A short but pleasant stay. Beautiful view and everything was as described. Would come again.

The property is very pleasant, including not only the home, but the surroundings. The large backyard is very peaceful, and the three chickens are a nice addition. The views from the property (and from our room #1) are spectacular.
Parking requires a little maneuvering, but it wasn't a problem. Also, stone stairway to the house, and stairs inside the house to the rooms upstairs, could be difficult for anyone with limited mobility.
I highly recommend this facility if you want a quiet room and an "old Hawaii" experience.

We stayed 2 nights and had good experience. My partner said it is her dream home. Parking has enough space for jeep.

Great views of the ocean and surrounding greenery. The property is well maintained and the communal area with pool table and games Is a great touch.
Jade and the team went to every effort to make sure our stay was amazing.
A 5 minute drive Into Hilo town but beware if you choose to walk it, the 20 minute walk back is all uphill.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was located close to the city of Hilo but high on a hilltop which made it feel secluded and private. The grounds were very nice and there were many places to sit outside and enjoy the weather and/or other's company if you choose. The only thing that I saw that needed attention was the koi pond, which I am sure did not have koi in it because the water was very murky. Parking was easy for us, but if the units were fully booked, I could see how it could become a problem due to a small parking area, and the area for overflow (down the hill next to the stone wall) was not adequate for mid-size to large vehicles.
Would I stay here again: Yes
Would I recommend this place: Yes

We had an amazing stay at the Hilltop rental! The host was amazing and all communications were timely and extremely clear. The unit was quiet, very clean, and well-equipped... and the host provided whatever else we needed. The view overlooking Hilo and Hilo Bay was breathtaking and it's just a short walk to town. We enjoyed the Hilo Farmer's Market which sells amazing local fruit, produce, and foods 7 days a week... and on Wednesdays & Saturdays is extended to include local artists and other vendors. I'm recommending the Hilltop Vacation Rental to all my relatives and friends... also to my friends in Hilo so they can recommend it to their visitors. Mahalo for a memorable and relaxing stay!

Amazing location with fantastic hosts, but not the most comfortable lodging. The hosts did a fantastic job of making us feel at home and were incredibly responsive at addressing an issue we had with the AC unit. We also the location: the view is fantastic and the house has a beautiful indoor/outdoor common area - complete with a few adorable and friendly outdoor cats.
Unfortunately, my wife and I never really managed to get comfortable in the room because of the heat, humidity, noise of the AC unit, and awkward layout. The hosts replaced the AC unit partway through our stay, which helped a bit, but we still never got a full night of sleep.
We enjoyed our time in Hilo and the friendless of the hosts (and their cats!), but we wish the room was a bit more comfortable.

This place has only one positive, the view sunrise over Hilo Bay. But it has several negatives for a tourist that are not disclosed while booking for obvious reasons. The parking situation is dangerous and requires you to reverse your car at side of cliff. They have some weird neighbors who don’t allow using driveway and have dogs barking in the night. You also have to haul your bags up large stairs. There were several insects and lizards in the room.

The property is in a great location, with easy walking distance to downtown Hilo. It is very clean but old. The water pressure in the bathroom was very low. The bed was not comfortable as the mattress was very soft. There are no kitchen facilities (non were advertised) but the provided mini fridge and microwave was very convenient.
Note: Check in with Hilltop was straight forward and easy. They provided us with the access code at check in time as is their practice. Unfortunately Expedia had incorrectly informed us we'd be provided with an access code 24 hours prior to check in (not Hilltop's practice). This caused us needless concern when the code wasn't provided. Expedia should ensure they provide accurate information.

The facilities were very old, worn and in dire need of refurbishment, paint and updating. The mattress was very uncomfortable, the electrical outlets were very old and limited in number, the bathroom requires a complete renovation and, although the room is very spacious, the seating in it is limited. We were very surprised that there was no smoke detector in the room, especially in light of the old electrical outlets and overcrowding on the existing ones. The public sitting area is nicely done and the grounds are lovely. The location is fabulous. The view is amazing, the private balcony off our room was very nice and the neighbourhood is quiet and pleasant. With significant updating, this could be an amazing destination. As is, it is disappointing, outdated and not very comfortable.

These comments need to be taken in context of value. I had a 2-night business stay and just needed a place to sleep and shower. It was very, very affordable. Be sure to ask for Room 1, I think it had the best view and it also had a private balcony. It was a 3-room suite. The grounds were wonderful, lush and well-cared for. The house is obviously an old Hawaiian home, and it has been a while since there were any significant updates (like many decades). The room could have benefited from some paint, the fixtures in the bathroom were a bit dilapidated. The bed was old, a bit bouncy though I slept well. More outlets near the bed would have been helpful (I had to plug my sleeping device in to a 1940s-era plug in the closet).
The views overlooking Hilo were wonderful—the harbor, airport and beyond. All contact with the owners was virtual. I didn't opt for daily room service, and so didn't see staff the whole time I was there.
Would I stay again? Probably not, but it wasn't an unpleasant experience.

B&B is setup with the front of house available for guests. Plus, the outside garden area was very nice. Location overlooks Hilo which gives a nice sunrise.
Bedroom was clean and neat, but the bed was very small. Maybe a double bed.
Host was friendly and helpful.

We really liked this place. It was quiet, and the grounds were great for bird-watching and relaxing. A short walk to town.

Location/view is great, proprietor was nice, but there appears to be an ongoing dispute with neighbor that makes parking stressful. There was construction going on (think ladder right outside bedroom window). Might be okay at some point, but we would not go there again.

The outside area was beautiful and it allows for guests to be able to enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. One negative was the amount of ants running around in the room. I was bitten a few times but no real harm done.

We really loved the view, the room, and the lovely porch. The bathroom is dated, but had a good shower and reminded me of my grandparents, so I enjoyed it! The location is great and getting there/check-in was easy. There is some contention between the owners and the neighbors, so we were stressed about the parking situation, but it did not end up being a problem. The one issue we had was the construction that began one morning we were there. Our room was on the second floor, so we were quite surprised to wake up to a man (construction worker) looking in our window. This was a very disturbing and unexpected event. It was a gross breach of privacy that could have been prevented if we were given notice that workers would be on the roof by our windows. We were not given any notice and management did not seem to understand why we were upset or what they could have done about it. After sharing our concern a second time with management we were refunded for one night (we had been there for two nights).

Very confusing parking situation. If you were one of the first two cars to park you are fine. Otherwise, you must back down the same side of the you drove in with very tall stone walls to take into consideration. Then you are to park on the grass with a sudden dangerous precipice in the dark. All this because of a neighbor feud. Next, was one bathroom towels appeared to have poo on it. When I turned on the shower, jacuzzi and kitchen sink there was a fart spray of dirt. I couldn't figure how to us the shower warmer.bed was like a rock, but the fluffy pillowsade ip. The view was spectacular.
