"Chris was my host and he has a nice comfortable place. It was like hanging out with a friend. Everything was clean and the house rules were explained and easily understood. Very economical."

"Best place to stay to enjoy the national park."

"My stay at Ocean Temple in Pahoa, Hawaii, was pure bliss. This oceanfront retreat, backed by 500 acres of state land, is a sanctuary of serene quietness. The soothing sound of the Pacific Ocean and the absence of urban noise created a deeply peaceful escape. At night, the star-filled sky, with the Milky Way in full view, was breathtaking.The 1,100 sq ft open-plan space, once a Buddhist Retreat Center, exudes tranquility. Expansive sliding glass doors frame ocean and garden views, while mahogany accents, a king-size bed with cotton bedding, and plush towels add luxury. The lanai was perfect for sunrise coffee or whale-watching (in winter). A nearby black sand beach offered a serene spot for yoga or reflection.Privacy is ensured with a private entrance, and the shared laundry room is a plus. Nearby Kehena Beach, Volcano National Park, and local farmers’ markets added adventure, but the property’s calm drew me back. Dining options in Pahoa and Uncle Robert’s marketplace delighted with fresh flavors.The cleanest air in the U.S. and vibrant surroundings left me rejuvenated. Ocean Temple’s sacred vibe and serene quietness made it unforgettable. I left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to return."

"A nice, quiet property that is convenient for visiting the Volcanoes National Park. If that is your main itinerary, which it is for a lot of Big Island visitors, then this is your place to stay. You’ll love the room decor, the hands off approach of staff, and the quiet grounds. If you want a hotel that is close to civilization and amenities, you’d want to stay in Hilo or close to either airport on the island. We loved the tranquility, and planned our days around getting to the Park and major areas and back before things closed. "

"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. "

"Great property run with a great staff"

"Clean, quiet and great location to National Park."

"We stayed in this home for the full month of March 2025. We rated this a 10 based on our top three requirements: next to the ocean, clean, comfortable beds. This home met all three requirements. The ocean with its spectacular crashing waves, stunning views, and swimming turtles was wonderful. The sound of the waves at night along with the comfortable bed made for excellent sleeping. The home was clean and the two new area rugs were a nice update. However, as others have noted, this home would benefit from additional updates. For example, the couch is very uncomfortable. Our inquiries via email were answered promptly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay."

"Lolahi Lodge exceeded my expectations in every way! Great rooms, comfortable bed, really nice towels, lots of little touches. I highly recommend this as a place to stay while visiting Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park. So close to the entrance. And a wonderful place to end up after a long day of hiking!"
