Have stayed in volcano village at least 15 times and have had great hosts with true aloha. Not this time. House was fine but with cobwebs everywhere inside and out. Old used soap in every soap dish. We were left a dead anthurium in a vase. I asked for a can opener that works and got nothing but what felt like a corporate haole response. We cut ourselves trying to use the junk they provided. Go somewhere where Casago Kona doesn’t own/manage

We came to see the colcano and it was right in time. Very conveniently located . Loved having the kitchen. I personally would have loved a kerig but hey i cant have everything. House was very quiet and relaxing. Believe we will come back and will definately re rent this place.I may buy a kerig and leave it...
Aloha Sharalynn,

The house was very nice and private. It was clean and would be large enough for at least 6 people. It was great waking up to the sounds of birds and listening to the frogs at night. The beds were very comfortable and the electric blankets were appreciated. The only down fall was the bathrooms could use updating and we were unable to turn the water on in the shared bathroom bathtub. The bathroom off the main bedroom really could use an exhaust since everything seemed to stay damp. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cups, silverware and pans. Unfortunately it had no spices, not even any salt.All in all it was a lovely place to stay in for 4 nights. It was a great location to be able to travel a few minutes down the road to watch the volcano errupt.
Aloha Janet,

Felt like we were in the middle of the jungle, loved listening to the wildlife while enjoying our more coffee out back. Close to Volcano National Park, which is why we were there.

Disappointed in this property. There is an overwhelming, unpleasant smell when you walk in. It is the dirtiest property I have ever stayed in. There are spider webs inside, even on the furniture. The shower in the 2nd bathroom does not work.

It's like your in the jungle of Hawaii close to the National Park. Everything was great although it was rainy and can get cold at night up at that elevation.
Great description of the setting Douglas! Thank you so much for staying with us at Casago Kona and we hope to have you back! Yes, it can definitely can chilly in the evening depending on the time of year.
The location of the house was spectacular. Lush rainforest on all sides. The house was very cozy with soft lighting, warm textiles, carpeted bedrooms and natural wood everywhere. The lanai had a rain cover which was great.

Perfect place for a family visiting the Big Island - especially if you plan to spend time at the National Park. This house was comfortable for a family of 6 and is super close to the park. We enjoyed being in the jungle and spending time on the lanai. The hydrangeas and other plants in the front area are beautiful, as well.

The location was nice and tranquil, beautiful mornings with nature at the back porch. The house needed to be aired out to get rid of the closed house smell. One of the showers did not work. Other than that we loved the place.

Beautiful property, comfortable home, clean and cozy!
We were in Hawai'i for the Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo, but love to stay in Volcano, because it's so quiet and cool. This home is quiet and cozy and well equipped. 3 bedrooms allow for plenty of space for 3 or even 6 people. Would have loved to spend even more time in the home, but "Merrie Monarch, das why"! :)

Fantastic location and more than what we expected!
This property was great - set in the temperate rainforest area just 2 miles from the Volcano National Park. We walked around the neighborhood and enjoyed the meyer lemons from the property. The place was comfortable and had just about everything you need. We brought in some food to cook and the place had all the cooking ware you needed, etc. The fireplace was a dream as it does get cold at night. Loved the proximity to the park and we loved a visit to the golf course up the road from there and the Black sand beach about 45 mins beyond that. Great stay and we will be back for sure!
Aloha Melissa ,
Thank you for the wonderful feedback . When most people think of Hawaii they think of waves and sand . Volcano National Park is a great place to stay for exploring enthusiasts . Sounds like we exceeded your expectations ! We are happy to hear you found everything you needed in the fully stocked kitchen . Yes indeed the fireplace is the perfect gathering spot for a cozy and warm gathering . once again we thank you for choosing Kona Now and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future .
Property as expected. Should also note that drive ways is not paved dirt road and the dehumidifier is not draining using the tube had to empty it daily
Aloha, thank you for your valuable feedback and for choosing Casago Kona.We are disappointed that we did not meet or exceed your expectations. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Kona otherwise. We are looking into the issues reported in order to improve upon the guest experience. Mahalo once again for choosing Casago Kona.
Charming, clean house tucked away in the forest, less than ten minutes from Volcano National Park and 45 minutes from Hilo. Not much daylight, and no central heat, but there's a wood stove (we didn't try though) and electric blankets on all the beds. The kitchen is well equipped, but we couldn't get the washing machine to work, and minimal consumables are provided, so guests are advised to bring shampoo and detergent if possible. The listing says it's wheelchair-accessible, but we caution that the front door is at the top of a staircase. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.
Aloha and thank you for you valuable feedback Min. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will be sure to update the listing in regard to the accessibility and appreciate you bringing this to our attention so that we can specify that there are a few steps. Thank you for choosing Casago Kona. We look forward to welcoming you back!
We reserved this for 5 nights but when we walked in the mildew was so bad that after the first night we got our money back and moved. There was one review that talked about mildew but all others seemed to say it was ok. The dehumidifier had a drain through the floor but that must have been clogged because the bucket filled up and with no one to empty it the unit would stop working. Vrbo treated us well and refunded our money for the other nights.
Aloha Bruce,
Mahalo for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry your stay was impacted by these issues and understand how disappointing that must have been. Guest comfort and safety are our top priorities, and your comments regarding mildew and the dehumidifier have been shared with our team to ensure immediate attention and improvements.
We appreciate your patience with the situation and are glad to hear Vrbo was able to assist with the refund. Mahalo again for bringing this to our attention.

Very close to Volcano National Park. We only stayed for 2 nights & spent most of our time out and about, but the living room was spacious enough for us to relax and watch a movie as a family.
Home had all the supplies we needed.
It was more “rustic” than I had mentally realized. I didn’t realize there is not just no heat but also no AC - but we were fine with the beds’ warm blankets and the weather was not humid. There were some bugs inside but the location is like a rainforest area so I’m not sure that is avoidable (plus with only being there 2 nights it wasn’t the end of the world).
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and all of the great amenities this unit has to offer. Mahalo once again for choosing Casago Kona LLC and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Cosy and comfortable. Could have been cleaner. Some simple and small details like salt, pepper and shampoo would have been appreciated as well as a clean out of all the crap that other guests have left. This property is managed by a company rather than a person and it shows. it's normal that in this area the houses use rain water and most places have a filtration system. We were not made aware that this place did not have a functioning filtration system until after we arrived which I felt was poor communication.
Thank you for your valuable feedback Pippa. We are sorry to hear that the property did not meet all expectations due to the lack of amenities and filtration system. We do supply a starter pack of salt, pepper and shampoos but if this somehow got missed we apologize. We would have happily brought some to the property for you had we known. We are looking into ways to improve in these areas based on your feedback. Mahalo once again for choosing Casago Kona LLC and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Quiet remote jungle getaway in Volcano neighborhood
Kids loved the place and having their own cozy rooms with electric blankets. Was a nice change to go to cool/chilly Volcano after a week in the sun in Kona area. Fun to listen to the birds, watch the grouse. Volcano NP, lava tubes so close by. So fun to sightsee along saddle road when transiting across island. Clean, quiet. No ac or heat. Loud, always running dehumidifier. Complicated light switches. Limited overhead lighting brightness. Didn’t use the wood stove/heater, but was on the cusp of wanting it. Very hard to navigate rental car in and out of driveway.

One of the 2 showers didn't work, NO water at all. Called management co. Casago Kona, spoke with a man who told me "It works, there's just a knob or something." I told him it was the same as the other shower, but the water wouldn't turn on. He said he would have the "On site manager call you and talk you through it." No one called. Cleanliness was poor, dirty silverware, pots and pans; sign in kitchen saying "must wash your dishes or will lose security deposit. Housekeeping not your maid. They are here to do quick turnovers." So the cleanliness of your dishes is dependent on who was there before you! Thick cob webs on windows and ceilings, dirty carpets. No kindling to start fire in wood burning stove which is only source of heat. Confusing structure of who to contact for questions/problems, different phone numbers in 3 different places. Address given in booking different than in email.
Aloha Diane,
Mahalo for your honest feedback and for staying with us at Cymbidium House. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. The issues you described with the shower, cleanliness, heating supplies, and communication are not the standards we aim to provide for our guests.

Your comments regarding housekeeping standards, supplies, and guest information clarity are also very helpful, and we will use this feedback to make necessary improvements.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate it, as it helps us improve for future guests.
