My husband and I deeply appreciate Hale Maluhia Country Inn and all of the courtesies. The staff and owners went above and beyond to make a memorable experience and the support and kindness made all the difference of a superb honeymoon vacation. We both feel like we made friends for life and every question or concern was answered. Thank you again for making this happen 💖

An A plus plus establishment. The queen size bedroom, and bathroom were well decorated, comfortable and clean. The availability to change towels when needed is an added bonus. The cottage gives a feeling of living in a quaint English manor tastefully decorated in the Hawaiian theme; a rainforest cottage in Kailua -Kona area. The lanai area was breath taking surrounded by tropical trees, flowers and birds, and comfortable to enjoy your fresh morning Kona coffee, and tea and some complimentary healthy breakfast bread. The lanai is nice area to rest and unwind down in the evenings and enjoy your own home cooked meal. There is a guest common full kitchen with stove, fridge, dishes and cutlery.
Communication with owners was expedient and clear. They will help you find things on the island.
A recommended place to stay and have a memorable time on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The inn was clearly run very well. Clean, well maintained, beautiful, peaceful, and real unique rustic character as far as aesthetics go. There was a fully stocked kitchen that we could use. Literally the only downside of this inn was an overzealous rooster. But that's Hawaii. There are wild birds all over the island. If you don't like nature, then maybe a resort will treat you better. For those who want a more immersive and real experience with genuine heart, I highly recommend it. This is a place that I'll strongly consider coming back to on a future visit.

Beautiful place making our first visit to the island such a peaceful, relaxing stay!
I enjoyed the open windows in our room.
There was no air conditioning, but fans were provided. We visited during February and the temperatures would get down in the 60s at night.
The only time we saw other guests was during breakfast or at night during our return. My favorite memory was the coqui frogs you can hear at night and the fresh baked goods put out every morning.

The breakfast items provided included fresh fruit, fresh macadamia nuts and fresh baked goods daily. We hope you stay here and enjoy it as much as we did, the hot tub is a MUST after a long day of exploring Hawaii’s big island. We’d love to come back!

The room and bathroom were really clean! The property was absolutely beautiful with all of its mature growth and I found the vibe to be very spiritual which I love. This place doeshave a hot tub, but i never had time to use it, but the ambiance around it was very pretty! The bird sounds on the property was authentically like being in a jungle. The only thing that could have been alot better was the bed and the pillows. The owner was very nice and greeted us right when we arrived.

A long stop over, and an amazing stay.

Amazing building in the hills of Kona. If you do not mind being a bit out of the town for the joys of nature, this is a perfect place. Maybe a 10 minute drive to downtown restaurants, etc. if you love frogs croaking and chirping it is great. Gardens, beautiful flowers are a treat.

The B&B isn’t as excellent as I thought or read about. Maybe my expectation was too high, as I read rave reviews about it and then booked it. Hosts David and Miriam are friendly and helpful. Compared with another B&B we stayed during this trip, this one feels older, smaller and less privacy. The location is good, around 12 minutes’ drive from Kona downtown. Parking is free. Yards and gardens are well-kept and relaxing. We didn’t use the hot tub. Overall, I think the property could use some remodeling.

This place is a gem. It’s not too far from Kona Airport. We stayed in the Japanese tea room which is a very unique stay. It’s a very comfortable spacious room that has a very comfortable queen bed, nice t.v. With Amazon Prime, YouTube and other options for viewing entertainment, a BIG bathtub and a separate shower in the beautiful bathroom. The awesome part of this place though is Dave and his wife Miriam! They let you use basically all the amenities their property has to offer from the nice kitchen which has pretty much all ya need to cook your own meals (you’ll need to clean up after yourself), a jacuzzi, and in their common area Dave always has coffee ready in the morning you just hit the brew button and multiple teas are available as well. Miriam every morning sets out some baked good and fresh tea in the morning as well to get ya going. If you stay at this property you will go away feeling like you lived in Hawaii for your stay and not visiting like you feel in a normal hotel room. Very Wonderful Experience! Thank you Dave and Miriam.

This property has absolutely stunning grounds. Full of gorgeous plants and colorful birds. The only complaint I could possibly have is that it’s a bit warm. We had the cheapest room and it did not come with an air conditioner. (So maybe the other rooms do have A/C) It does cool down a bit at night (you’ll have to keep the windows open and the ceiling fan running) but the humidity and the swampiness just can’t be fixed without an A/C. Again though, this property was a great stay, fresh baked goods and fresh fruit in the lobby in the morning. Dave and Miriam are very sweet people and most importantly, we felt very, very safe here.

Lots of Bibles, Christian Music, and Bible Quotes

The room was nice, and the bed was very comfortable. The parking is tight if you are driving a truck. There are bibles on all of the dining tables and in the rooms, there are non-Gospel bible quotes on the walls in the common areas, and there is Christian music playing in the common room at all times. You are expected to clean and put up all of your dishes, and you will have to make your own coffee before 7:30 am. The elevation is about 1,200 feet if you are planning on scuba diving.

Stunning location and facility - super friendly proprietors. Only complaint? Abundant bibles, scripture verses and christian Muzak throughout could be unpleasant for the majority of travelers that do not like being preached to while on holiday.

My wife and I liked the feel of being in nature. Loved the sounds at night with the chirping Couqui frogs. Hot tub was great. Hosts were very nice and were genuine. Mature trees and flowers along with the raised levels made it interesting. I would recommend to any of my friends. Clean and cozy made it feel like home.

AMAZING!

Coolest spot to stay on the big island. Room was clean, views were beautiful..like staying in the jungle! There is even a hot tub. Close to everything so it’s easy to come back for a midday lunch break if you need. Would definitely stay here again if we are back to the island.

Such a beautiful, cozy, small spot hidden in the foothills of the Kona side of the big island. The owners are an absolute treat, the property is paradise, and the location is unbeatable. Minutes from anything you could want or need on that side of the island and within 2 hours of the Hilo side of the island. Highly recommend trying this place out. The “Maile” room was perfect for me and my wife on our fiancée! Very homey and comfy for our needs.

The property was beautiful, and the room was comfortable. I liked the personal service we received. The only downside was the chickens who woke us up before sunrise, but the website did warn of that, so we were prepared.

Despite being in a convenient location, I wouldn't recommend this place. There are dogs that howl and bark at night and early morning nearby and roosters that will wake you up before sunrise. The windows do not close fully. There are ear plugs near the bedside, but these do little to help.

The hot water is also very inconsistent. The first night the water was lukewarm at best. We stayed 4 nights and had varying levels of hot water.

This property is more like an Airbnb. I was charged a 'cleaning fee' without any notification. I needed to reach out to the host to figure out what the new fee was. No receipt, notice, or invoice shared with me.

The property looks exactly - if not better - than in the photos. Usually, we are looking for oceanside apartments, but this was a much better option. Especially, on the Big Island. It is still close to the beaches and downtown Kona, but the place is magical - lush vegetation, wooden cabins, great view. Your spouse or family will thank you for picking this place. Mine did.

Not For Everyone

This is a very unusual property. Essentially a large house with a number of out buildings that was built as an inn, it feels more like a family compound that was cobbled together.

The big drawing card is its proximity to Kona-Kailua. You can get to the main part of town in than 10 minutes. It is located above town where it is a bit wetter, so it has a lush feel.

Unfortunately, after that the negatives pile up:

* It is on a small winding road that is fairly busy. It’s location right in the middle of sharp curve means road noise comes from both above and below the property. Family and guest noise was prominent. Ear plugs offered on the bedside table were a troubling sign.

* Because it is in the wetter region, our room had a musty smell that left us congested after each night.

* THIS IS NOT A COVID-SAFE PROPERTY. Neither the owners nor guests observed any COVID precautions.

* This is a property that wears its religious convictions on its sleeve, with many bible sayings displayed prominently. Normally this would be a comfort, but in combination with the attitudes towards masking and the large American flag at the entry to property, there was no mistaking the attitudes of the owners. This is the first place we have ever felt uncomfortable because of the divisions in the US.

Between being uncomfortable physically and socially, this was without question our least favorite stay on the Island. We can not recommend it.

Cozy, comfy way to be welcomed to Hawaii

Such a great stay in the Banyan Cottage. Spacious with a comfy bed. Hearing the coqui frogs was a great way to be welcomed to Hawaii! The tub was nice (it would have been nice to know that the hot and cold water were the opposite directions as accustomed to).
The property is lush and beautiful! The hosts are so very kind and accommodating.
The listing needs to inform the traveler that there is access to a full kitchen and that some of the windows don't close all the way.
The location is very convenient to touristy restaurants and shopping.
Overall, a great place for a couple, or a throuple, to stay. Mahalo!

The owners were very nice and helpful, and responded quickly to resolvable issues. The bed and bathroom were pretty clean. However, the property really needs a total update - carpet was very old and visibly dirty, and the room felt dusty in general. Because of the location, the room was always somewhat damp, with no AC or dehumidifier available, so the towels and swimming suits never dry and tend to stink; blinds don’t work and our privacy was kept by very thin curtains. You can hear every noise: loud frogs and crickets, roosters before 5am, and cars driving around three sides of the property. Parking is difficult as the property is on a small lot on a hairpin turn in a mountain road. The smoke alarm in the room went off twice for no reason while we were there, the owner had to replace it with a different unit. We didn’t use the shared kitchen so no comment on that. Overall it provided a bed and a bathroom in a safe area, but wasn’t ideal due to the reasons above.

We stayed in Maile Room. This is a nice property, and the host is very responsive and welcoming. One major thing to BEWARE: the bed is very firm, squeaky and uncomfortable, especially for side sleepers. Pillows are limited and not suitable for side sleepers as well. It is not just my opinion, my wife and I stayed in three different places on the Big Island, and this is the first time we had this issue. It is really something that can be fixed for the future guests, especially for the price of the stay. Otherwise this is a nice place, clean and well decorated room, beautiful property surroundings. Access to a hot tub is a bonus as well.

If you like the jungle you will like here. The Frogs mating call at nite were music to our ears. I tried the sounds on my wife. \"You dont sound like a Frog, \" she said, and was fast asleep in our new King Size bed.

Stayed in the Japanese tea house and would describe the experience as GLAMPING. Owners were lovely and the breakfast was good enough to get you filled up for the day's adventure. All the other reviews about being close to nature are accurate - there are lots of insects present in the room and outside the property (got lots of insect bites from eating breakfast outside, as lovely as the garden is), the walls and roof are thin so you can hear traffic and frogs/dogs/birds/rain very clearly. However, that wasn't a big deal for us. The main concern was the hot water was touch and go for the washroom faucet (I found a trick was to run the hot water in the tub first to get the sink going) and the bedding was a concern. I found a few small hairs on the pillow upon check in and since the bedding is all white, there were LOTS of small black spots visible on the sheet and pillow cases. I can only guess these are spots from dead insects as I squished many with my finger and they left a black mark. This issue can easily be solves with dark coloured bedding haha. We did not bring up any of these issues with the owners as they were so nice, but we are sure they would have addressed them right away if we had.
