The place was dated but clean and large, comfortable size for a big family. The place needs some TLC especially downstairs bedrooms floors need to get replaced and new paint. We had to keep all the windows and doors closed most of the time for security purposes(house alarm) that was not helpful with the humidity. So if you have allergies this is not the place for you. The garden was lovely but the neighbours dogs barking most of the time was not and we saw them running around in the yard. We love seeing the pigs, birds, frogs and more but they can be noisy especially at night so be aware of that. Over all, it was a lovely, convenient place to getting around on the east coast, we would stay again if not because of our allergies problems.

The house was absolutely beautiful. Very clean and extremely comfortable. We left the windows open at night and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The property manager was so nice and very helpful. I highly recommend this property to anyone going to the big island.

Spacious home and clean. Our stay for 4 nights was a bit unpleasant due to the very strong musty smell, especially the 2 downstairs bedrooms. I have to buy an air freshener spray to ease the smell but didn't help much. Otherwise, easy check-in and check-out.

Our stay at Maluhia was OK. Primary area of interest: it was very clean!!

Otherwise, I was disappointed by the furnishings - the bedding was cheap (although the beds were decent); the living furniture was similarly cheap but also worn; the dining table was covered with a scrap of fabric that couldn't be wiped down after meals; the patio furniture was minimal; the primary kitchen "counter" was a low workbench covered with a cheap tablecloth (but it was cleanable!).

Be prepared for a rather musty smell when you first arrive. It mostly disipates after a couple of days.

Had some trouble with the gate code but the staff was very responsive and helpful.

Check out was refreshingly simple :)

During rains, the leaky gutters will drip loudly on the metal roof. They've reduced the noise by arranging rocks (which are already on the roof) so the drips fall onto them. As the rocks slip down the roof over time, they may need to be repositioned as we did.

One downstairs bedroom had a loudly out-of-balance celing fan which we had to turn off at night. While a substitute fan was provided, it was rather too large to provide the light breeze that would have been nice for sleeping. The large fan was also needed upstairs for airflow.

This location is perfect for a couple of family. The home is welcoming, there’s plenty of space for privacy or a big gathering. We slept with the windows open, fell asleep with natures sound and woke up peacefully with the call of nature to let you know it’s morning. What a way to start the day with a morning coffee on the lanai followed by a great breakfast every day we were in this paradise. We love having a kitchen where we experienced all the local fresh veggies and fruits, YUM!!!
The home is far enough away from the tourist area and central location to all the sites.
The house is clean!!! The owner and management company was very responsive to our needs. We’ll return to this location again!!!

Four of us stayed here for one week and loved it. It is a peaceful place with lovely yard and feels like your up in the trees. Was not close to Kona, close to Hilo. Nice place to explore the Volcano park close by and everyday we explored! It is also a nice house to just relax in and be with family and friends. There are singing tree frogs and many birds that make sitting on the decks a pure delight! I feel happy and greatful to the family who has this rental listed so we cpuld have a chance to be apart, for a few days, of the breath taking HAWAII!

We had a very nice time at the house. Everything worked as described, we fully enjoyed the porch.

Beautiful property, large rooms, ideally situated for our purpose. One of the toilets was not functioning and due to missing parts could not be fixed throughout our stay. Would love to stay there again. ALOHA

Our family has been staying at Maluhia Hale for years now and it's always a pleasure! The huge grounds are like a park. The ATV to swim in waterfall tour was the highlight of our trip. We also enjoyed the Carlsmith Park tide pools, and Pohoiki Hot Springs and black sand beach at Isaac Hale Park. Be sure to bring water shoes, it's rocky.

We are a family of six who stayed at the house for a week. We went to all corners of the island and given that the tourist sights are scattered all over the location of the house is ideal. The house very clean and well equipped. There were three big rooms with big bathrooms, which was nice. We had I question about rather the water was drinkable, which we called the manager about and she was very helpful. We had a great time at the house and would recommend it to anyone traveling to the Big Island of Hawaii.

A superb house located in a dream tropical garden. You will find calm and all that nature knows best in terms of fruit :) (avocado, citrus, coconut, ...). There is also a variety of wildlife: dogs, mongooses, and we also crossed (by far as a precaution) a huge wild pig ;-)
In the house, you must resolve to live with the friendly geckos (take care to check their presence before closing the windows). We did not have any problems with any pests. The house seems to be effectively monitored on this point.
The rooms and bathrooms deserve a small renovation, but the main room is very pleasant. The balcony is sumptuous for breakfast.
The kitchen should be redesigned and renovated (a juicer is sorely lacking ;-))
During our stay, work was done on the adjacent land that seems under construction. Nothing very serious but it may surprise.

This was a beautiful home to come back to each day. Lovely grounds and amenities. It is rather remote and road in is difficult. Just make sure you have groceries etc and don't rent a luxury car. Needs more than 1 tv and suggest small plastic chairs in showers

The Maluhia Hale was a fantastic place to stay! Our group of four spent time in Volcano, Hilo and on the coast near the vacation rental. The house was comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. We had all the amenities of home, plus the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The management company was easy to work with and responsive to our needs. I felt confident in making the rental from the start. The upstairs living area, including the wrap around deck, made it easy for all of us to have our own space when we wanted it. The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen was equipped for cooking on the nights we stayed home to watch a movie. I would highly recommend this rental to friends or families looking for a comfortable Big Island retreat!
