A really good property with excellent location. Best if you plan to visit the volcano national park at night.

Convenient to national park. Clean and Quiet location. More of a bed and breakfast style set up. Drive slow entering the property, can get bumpy. Ignore the purple key pad at entrance door, use e-keypad on door. Breakfast is granola bars and packaged pastries as stated. There is a breakfast and lunch deli just around the corner called lighthouse.

Our stay was brief but we had a nice night at the inn. The inn is inside the Volcano village so next to the restaurants and the general store.

Me and my daughter had a very good experience at the Volcano Forest Inn. It is literally at 5 minute drive of the entrance of the Volcano National Park. Which allow us to visit the volcano easily. The rooms was pretty big, confortable and clean. The communication with the owner and our arrival was easy. We were warned by email that the weather could be chilly because of the rain forest. We were ok, but everyone should be aware that it was about 12 to 15 Celsius early mourning. Also there is a cleaning fee of 80$ that is not mentioned in Expedia web site. Overall, for the price, I would highly recommend this hotel.

Jon was an excellent, friendly, and helpful host who even offered to buy groceries for us when he went to Hilo. The inn was conveniently located next to the Volcano National Forest, which we visited often.

VFI is very close to Volcano National Park and it was the main reason why we chose to stay here. The house is nestled in the rainforest with a short drive from the main road so its very quiet. Our room is spacious with many windows facing the rainforest and a big patio. Our room is comfortable and pleasant. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. The host, Jon, is also a very nice guy and approachable. Breakfast is a grab and go and has plenty of fresh fruits which is a bonus!

My stay at the Volcano Forest Inn exceeded expectations. It was the perfect setting and quite the adventure driving in the light rain a few hundred yards down a dirt road surrounded by thick trees to finally arrive at this beautiful Inn nestled in the Volcano Forest. Jon texted very detailed instructions and information prior to my arrival which was very useful as well as welcoming. If I texted a question, he would promptly respond. Jon was there to greet me as I drove up and was very friendly and helpful. He showed me all of the amenities: an accommodating kitchen full of kitchenware, plenty of snacks, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, pasties, etc.; the living room with a flatscreen TV showing a live stream of the volcano; my room which was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Although all of the rooms were occupied, it was always quiet and peaceful. Not once did I encounter another guest while using the kitchen to get coffee and breakfast during my entire stay. It truly felt like I had the whole place to myself. Volcanoes National Park was minutes away and the close location made it very convenient for me to access the Park whenever the lava was flowing. I will stay at this beautiful, and serene Inn every time I visit the Big Island from south Maui. I was looking for peace and solitude and found it at the Volcano Forest Inn. Unforgettable experience!

Plenty of space in a quiet location in Volcano. Along with a full shared kitchen, there is a community refrigerator/freezer, which I wasn't sure about based on the online description. Jon, the property manager was always available, but stayed out of the way. Check in/out was easy and the price was reasonable. There is a separate cleaning fee of $80 which you'll need to figure in to your budget.

We had a wonderful stay at the Volcano Forest Inn. The large room, access to the full kitchen/common area, the quiet location surrounded by the rainforest, and the private deck allowed us to enjoy a relaxing visit. The inn has a great location just outside the national park. We were able to stop at several places before they became busy. There was a good amount of information on the area and a tv with current info on the volcano. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Overall, it was a great visit that I strongly recommend.

It was a beautiful place with a wonderful walk in closet. The breakfast offerings were delicious, especially the cookies by Butter and Champagne Bakery. I would stay again there in a heart beat.

Nice place, very quiet location. Secluded setting was a little difficult to find at first. Entrance is a long gravel road into a rain forest like location. Not a B&B, but the management provides coffee, teas, fruit, packaged pastries and other items in a large shared kitchen. Location is less than a mile from the entrance to Volcano National Park. Check in and out were done by following instructions on a extensive text message. Be aware that Volcano is a very small town so meal options are a little limited. There's a very nice but expensive resort restaurant and perhaps three owner operated small restaurants. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Great location. Seriously about 2 miles from Hawaii Volcanic National Bank. Check in with code so no time restraint. There are snacks available all day. Room is spacious and clean.
