Aloha Junction Bed and Breakfast

beautiful, peaceful accommodations and sue and quentin (and bear, missy and coconut) made it feel like our home away from home. loved the comfortable, tastefully decorated and well-appointed rooms, and the beautiful gardens. having breakfast included was a huge plus. and the location was perfect -- less than a 10 min drive to the hawai'i volcanoes national park, which was amazing when kilauea started erupting last week. we got in before the crowds and before the car parks filled up. having the AJB&B so near also enabled us to drive back for lunch and nap between hikes (when the sun was high and too hot to hike across a crater). visiting hilo and waterfalls were just a short drive away. hands down, our first choice if we are every back in the area!!

3 night stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The property is a restored historic house with lovely grounds and beautiful furnishings. Our room was very clean with high quality linens, and a very comfortable bed. The kitchenette was well stocked complete with refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast was great on 2 of our mornings but was okay on the final day. They play music right at 7am, so expect early mornings. Other reviews have noted thin walls, but that should be expected in historic buildings. It wasn't a problem for us. There are two dogs on the property (small and large breed). Expect to see them outside and at breakfast. They are both well trained and friendly. We really enjoyed Bear (the large breed). Two concerns, the hot water can be finicky when demand is high, so be flexible with shower schedules. And, the host was very friendly upon arrival but he was not approachable and a bit rude after the first day . Overall, there's not much guest services here.

This was a wonderful get away for us. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delish. Quentin was great to let us know that Madame Pele was awake. Bagels and coffee to go were perfect. Loved our hostess Missy and host Bear and also Coconut and Sugar too! Will definitely stay here again. Mahalo nui loa!

We booked last minute reservations and extended a day to get the best chance of seeing the Kilauea eruption (5/25/25). The Pele suite generously accommodated our family of 6 with enough beds and two bathrooms. The furnishings were thoughtful and comfortable. The kids especially appreciated host Uncle Q and his attention to making our stay memorable.

Stayed 4 nights. All 5 bedrooms were exactly what we expected and exactly what we needed for our family event. Sue and Shirley took great care of us. Renting the whole house gave us an opportunity to prepare lunch and dinner for ourselves and was much appreciated. Breakfast each morning was delicious and different each morning.

Stayed 3 nights while visiting the nearby Volcano National Park and other surrounding attractions. Could not be more convenient! The bed was comfortable. Common space great for use. Breakfast cooked for you each morning was great. Loved petting the doggos. Great stay!

It was great, convenient, clean, comfortable "at home" feeling (sheets,towels,amenities) , so close to volcano. Breakfast is a delicious plus! This is the second time we stayed! Sorry to hear of Robert’s passing. The check in and check out process was seamless. This is a great spot and would be a missed opportunity.

Quinton is friendly and attentive. Loved the resident pups Bear and Missy! Would definitely stay here again. Comfy beds, serene setting, clean accommodations. Gated driveway with ample parking. Country charm with the spacious deck where we sat and enjoyed our morning coffee.

Comfortable and Friendly Bed and Breakfast close to Hawaii Volcano National park. Great breakfast and host Quentin was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here.

Robert & Susan Hughs, Innkeepers (808-987-6499) have done a great job with their B & B property. They have thought of everything. The room was large, spick-n-span, and appointed quite nicely. The pancake, fruit, & cereal breakfast was very nice. The grounds are magnificent - walking around them or just viewing from the large patio outside your doorstep 9ois wonderful. Having said all of that, you are only 10 minutes from the entrance to The Volcanoes National Park. Enjoy! Russ and Jem. p.s. the Thai restaurant just down the road, 'Thai Thai' is really good too.

My partner and I spent three nights at Aloha Junction while visiting the national park. Robert was an excellent host - he made our late check in process smooth and we thoroughly enjoyed his breakfasts every morning! We stayed in the peacock room and had plenty of space, but know that the rooms aren't the most up to date. Bed was comfy and it had everything we needed, however. I especially enjoyed the outside deck we had access to. Communication with our hosts was great and access to the park was even better. Would highly recommend.

Prior to our arrival I had privately reached out to Robert about providing an arrangement of flowers for my wife in which he graciously agreed. Upon our arrival we were pleasantly greeted by Sue who welcomed us and showed us to our suite and directed my wife's attention to the arrangement of flowers Robert had waiting for her on the kitchenette table (Big Win!). The suite was clean and quiet and the accommodations by far exceeded our expectations. In the morning Robert greeted us and prepared us a wonderful meal for breakfast. We definitely recommend this location and will surely be in touch upon our return to the Big Island. Five Stars for Sure!!!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My husband and I stayed the night of 2/3/24. What an awful experience. We stayed in the PANIOLO suite. We are experienced with B&B's so were surprised by the very young children that were allowed to stay there. Baby screaming all night, little girl yelling, mom yelling at the kids, etc. All night. Walls are so paper thin that it seemed like they were in the room with us. There is no heat in the house and the temperatures dipped in the low 50's. No insulation so the inside temperature was the same. There was a tiny space heater that didn't work. Comforter with no duvet cover in closet. Didn't appear blankets are ever washed. We FROZE! So listening to the screaming next door and the frigid temps in the room, it was a horrible night. Next morning... where's the breakfast??? Where's the coffee??? Absolutely nothing. We fled from there as fast as we could. Absolutely awful

Charming little B&B just 5-10 minutes from the Volcanoes National Park. It's quirky and well run, but basically heavily modified trailers (portables). It was exactly what we were looking for our Volcanoes excursion. Excellent bang for the buck. The unit we stayed in was the Peacock Suite. It was decorated with peacocks, of course. There was a little table, mini fridge, and microwave. The faux "fireplace" was so cute and kept our room warm. The bathroom was very clean and there was a spacious changing area. The shower itself and the toilet area was super tiny, though. Bed was nice and had a heated blanket. There are "skylights" above, which are cleverly crafted out of corrugated clear plastic. There was no way to adjust the light coming through, which wasn't a problem for us, but some people might want to sleep in. The grounds are quite beautiful and we regret we didn't have time to explore. Parking is in a small lot and we never had trouble finding a spot. The breakfast was phenomenal! It's cooked by the owner. He makes amazing pancakes, which is quite a compliment because I make awesome pancakes. :) There is also fresh papaya, which is so much better than on the mainland. The coffee is hot and strong. Happy camper here! The main house also has a ton of useful traveler supplies such as bandaids, bug spray, and sunscreen. Highly recommended if you need a "base" in the Volcanoes area.

We were only there for one night, but it was long enough to experience the property's charm and feel the tremendous hospitality of our hosts. Checking in was easy and contactless. The room was well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful. The property's location was perfect for exploring Volcano park.

We loved staying at Aloha Junction! The rooms were bigger than I expected, it felt very private even though it's a B and B, our room (the Alpine Room) had a fridge, microwave, bathroom and balcony! The bed was huge and super warm, lots of extra blankets, and the fold out couch made it perfect for a family of 3. The site is beautiful, there are chickens and nene geese, and the owners are very nice and helpful! The breakfast is delicious, and the location is excellent. I would highly recommend staying at Aloha Junction, it made our trip to Volcano perfect!!!

We had a very comfortable 2 night stay at Aloha Junction. Robert and Susan provided a very nice breakfast to send us sightseeing at Volcano national park.

We found the Aloha B and B exactly as described. Certainly not a 5 star hotel but a charming, 1920s plantation house. The location can't be beat. Sure, I have a few suggestions to improve the place but for what we needed, the price we paid, and the breakfast we had it was well worth it. We had more than ample mac nut pancakes, sausages, and a papaya boat. Def would stay there again.

Met our needs in order to be close to Volcano National Park. Nice clean room with comfortable bed and plenty of blankets as it really cooled down at night! Robert served us a delicious and attractive breakfast with fresh macadamia nut pancakes. He was very helpful and friendly.

Highly recommend staying here when visiting Volcano! Robert was a wonderful host. The property is beautiful, and the B & B itself was so cute! Decorated retro Hawaiian, but updated in nice ways. The kitchen is available for use, and there was a nice communal area with some maps and books you could read. We stayed in the garden room, and it was lovely! Decorated very nicely, it was perfect. We had 2 beds, a sink, refrigerator, microwave, bathroom, shower, table and 2 chairs, and a wonderful deck to relax on outside. The breakfast was very good, some of the things we ate included French toast, hardboiled eggs, papaya with bananas, pork sausages, farm fresh scrambled eggs, and hash browns. There was also oatmeal, cereal, coffee, tea, yogurt, and fruit available as well. To drink we had a yummy fruit juice, I forget the name. It was super close to the national park, as well as within walking distance to some of the restaurants (I recommend the Thai food place if you're into that!). Wonderful stay, would do it again and will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Robert!

We stayed at Aloha Junction bed and breakfast in Volcano Hawaii on our last 2 days on the big island. The place is beautiful , our hosts were friendly and very knowledgeable about the area, the room was perfect and the bed was so comfortable after long days hiking in the parkI highly recommend this for your next visit to Volcano!

The hosts are lovely caring people that are wonderful to deal with from booking until leaving. Booking and payment was super simple on the website and we were greeted with a personalized sign on the rolm with our name on it! Don't miss breakfast, and you can imagine how short-travelled the eggs are when you hear the clucking outside ;) remember to reserve a table for dinner at the italian restaurant next door (it gets packed!) and you have yourself a good start of the vacation.

We spent two nights here. The location is great for visiting Volcano park. Robert is a great host. Breakfast is delicious. I have already recommended this place to all of my friends if they want to visit the Big Island

My husband and I had the good fortune to spend our last night of a 9 night Big Island trip at Aloha Junction. After 8 nights on a slab of a bed in an AirB&B condo in Kona, our night in the rain forest here was nirvana. After a warm welcome from Robert as soon as we drove up and a tour of the property, we were made to feel right at home. Complimentary water, popcorn, a lovely bed in the peacock suite, and a delicious breakfast cooked and served by gracious Erika was fabulous. Aloha Junction is in a perfect location outside the national park entrance and walking distance to a fabulous restaurant, Ohelo Cafe. Would stay again when visiting Volcano National Park and thank you to Erika also for providing us with travel advice for the next day!

Perfect place to stay if you plan on visiting the eastern part of the island. As one of my fellow reviewers already mentioned, don't stay in Hilo, stay here. This place is about 3 miles from the volcano national park, so you spend no time traveling. It's a beautiful 4 bedroom 1925 plantation house that's converted to a b&b. The owner Robert lives in another accommodation right outside this one. It's also really cheap to put up here. We got the largest suite in the house with two joint rooms (one with a king and the other with two queens and a bathroom) for $150. This can actually accommodate 6 people!! The best part is that the rooms are located in different parts of the house with separate entrances to those parts. So although there is a full house most times, no one is in anybody else's way. Robert is a good host and is available if you need anything. The rooms were very cosy and clean. The whole place around and the house is so beautiful that you will love it here. There is a huge collection of guide books on Hawai'i inside the rooms and in the common area. You have free wifi and the speed is good. Robert also cooks breakfast for his guests every morning. We had requested for a vegan breakfast. Robert accommodated that and made us a good breakfast comprising fresh fruits, juice and hot eggless blueberry pancakes with macadamia nuts. He also gives you full access to the kitchen where you can make yourself milk, tea, hot chocolate etc. I will be living here for more than one night when I visit the island again.

Very nice bed and breakfast: room was clean and comfortable. The king size bed even had an electric blanket (we didn't need to use it). I didn't realize that the Big Island of Hawaii has multiple climate zones due to elevations. So, we turned on the electric heater which looks like a small fire place. The owner serves breakfast at 8 am and puts out a generous spread such as pancakes, sausage, eggs, toast, fresh guava with banana slices and fruity nectar in task flutes. The house was quiet. You take off your shoes upon entering. The owner had lots of tree ripened tangerines for those who wanted one. The house is well located to see such sites as the Jagger Museum, Volcano National park, South Point park, the lava flows, and Black Sand beach. It would serve well to bring not only swim suits and flip flops but a hooded jacket and sturdy shoes as well.

Beautiful home and location. We stayed in the Peacock Room and really enjoyed it, very comfortable room. We were the only guests at the time, but they still went out of their way to welcome us and prepare a delicious breakfast.

Let's start with the good. This B&B is super close to Volcanoes National Park, only 2 minutes from the entrance. The bed was very comfortable and the included breakfast was slightly above average. Although on the second morning we did see the waffles being pulled out of the freezer and microwaved prior to being served to us. Here's the catch. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU HAVE KIDS. Robert clearly dislikes children and would prefer that they not come stay - he should probably just make a rule that no kids are allowed because it would be better for everyone. Not only did he tell my well-behaved kids in a very rude tone "Don't break anything" when we first checked in, but we had a small incident our first night. Being tired one of our children slightly wet the floor pillow (futon) bed. We had set up an extra towel to protect the futon he was on and only the sheets got wet. Robert attempted to charge us $100 for a new futon even though it was not even wet...he indicated to us, that even if the futon did not need to be replaced, that $100 was the standard fee for any kind of additional cleaning. Robert said to me "you know, they (the kids) are supposed to be house-broken before you bring them out here". Classy. He also told me that if he finds that "the kid" peed on the floor at all he will charge us for carpet cleaning too. That won't happen, because I've protected the floor - but I laugh. Look at the pics of the condition of the carpet when we arrived. Now let me tell you about the mold we found all over our room...in the bathrooms (which also had a broken shower floor, "repaired" with outdoor fence lattice), on the walls and shower curtains of both bathrooms, and all over the mouthwash dispenser...gross. There was moisture all over this place - the salt in the shakers was sopping wet. There were several cracked skylight panels (one of which was repaired with packing tape). There was lots of pretty wood on the floors and walls of this aging home that had unfortunately destroyed by termites -see pics. The owners have some good things going for them in this older home, but maintenance and housekeeping are lacking. Hospitality and kid-friendliness are lacking big time as well.

My family and I stayed at the Aloha Junction and we found ourselves like at home. Erika is a wonderful host and her breakfast is legendary. The b&b is extremely close to the Volcano National Park and it is the ideal stay for visiting the side. Rooms are very clean and comfortable too. Mahalo and hui huo Aloha Junction

If you're on the east side of the Big Island, I cannot recommend Aloha Junction enough. My wife and I were staying in Kona but wanted to spend a day exploring Volcanoes National Park and take a trip down to watch the lava flow into the ocean at night (we went through Kalapana Cultural Tours)... we wanted to be able to take our time exploring and not have to drive back to Kona at 3 am. We are so glad we found Aloha Junction. The rooms were comfy and the guy that owns it recommended some things to do in the area. The location was absolutely perfect for hanging out and exploring the volcano. Breakfast in the morning was amazing (blueberry pancakes with macadamia nuts), fresh juice, and papaya filled with yogurt, topped with banana slices.

This is a B&B in Volcano. The host, Robert, runs a great B&B. He is friendly and helpful. We have stayed there on two different occassions and each time we were impressed. Robert renovated the B&B recently and expanded the rooms. He added insuite baths and generally created a very warm atmosphere. AJ is clean, roomy and most importantly an excellent value. The breakfast included fruits, juice, eggs (fresh), pancakes, tea or coffee (Puna). It was super. If you are considering a trip to see the volcano, AJ is about a mile from the National Park. Highly recommended.

Honestly, if I could give it another star I would but this thing only allows 5 stars. My family stayed here for 3 nights early in the summer. When we first drove up, I could only think "Oh my god I hope it isn't some creepy B&B where everything is dilapidated." Well hell's bells, it was PERFECT. It's roomy, it's OUTRAGEOUSLY clean (my mother, the neat freak who can't be satisfied, was so satisfied she wished our house were like that). Robert (the innkeeper) was friendly and welcoming, informative and wonderful overall. We were placed in the Alpine room and it was amazing. The Bedroom has double doors leading out onto the back patio with a gorgeous view of the lush, spacious yard. The rain made everything so fresh and relaxing, the weather was perfect! Cool and misty, I couldn't ask for more. The breakfasts were the best! They are always served with fresh eggs from Robert's chickens, the fruits fresh picked from his trees (papayas a MUST!) I've never been a fan of papayas until I tried these. If you're an animal lover, Robert's dogs are the sweetest things!

This is the first bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. It was fantastic. :o) The location: One mile away from Volcano National Park at the end of a little (easy to miss) one lane driveway surrounded by beautiful, lush, green, foliage. The accommodations: Access to full kitchen with all the cookware, appliances, and dishes you care to use, living room with TV, DVD, and VCR complete with movies, games, and poker chips, a nook area with Hawaii maps and guidebooks, clean rooms with connected bathrooms, sinks, TV, and electric fireplaces, and most importantly, FREE WIFI. ;) The breakfast: Fresh papaya with banana slices and a lemon wedge (I can't stand the smell of papaya, but with a squeeze of lemon juice, it was gone and then so was the papaya ;D fresh eggs from Robert's chickens, and homemade blueberry macadamia nut pancakes with a myriad of syrups to choose from. Our host, Robert, was so nice and easygoing. He had a full house that night and didn't bat an eye at the number of pancakes he was going to flip the next day. =) He let my two children stay without charging us extra and held on to my camera for me when I left it there accidentally. Definitely recommended!!! :o)

I found this place on TripAdvisor.com and the reviews were perfectly matched to what other reviewers had mention. The Inn is conveniently close to to Volcano National Park & is in Volcano Village where restaurants and gas station is a block away. The owner Robert was very friendly and mention a lot of amenities that the inn provided such as Wifi, Television, Shared Kitchen, Water, Tea & Coffee, Fruit, Snacks like popcorn, Fireplace, Living room, Free Parking, Towels, and etc. This place is perfect just like you are at home. Please note that the shower is a bit outdated but not a big deal as you are only staying here for 1 or 2 days at most and plus this place is not a beach resort like Fairway Villa in Waikoloa as its a small bed and breakfast inn. Overall, had a nice experience staying here for one night.

This Bed and Breakfast is a great place to stay when you are visiting the Volcano National Park. The owners are so nice. The room had a refrigerator and microwave along with snacks, even though you can go into the living room part of the home and have snacks there. We stayed in the Peacock Room and it had was completely windows, with window coverings, and the view of the yard with the animals was very nice. The breakfast was good. It is very quiet at night and that's great for a good night's sleep after a big day at the park!

Absolutely beautiful and charming home, very comfortable and quiet. Close to park entrance and village. Lovely hosts and housekeeper. Would be delighted to stay again another time.

I was really looking forward to my stay here, and had chosen it for our group of five for our one night to visit to the National Park. When we arrived, we discovered the owners were out of town, and the maintenance man pointed us to our rooms. I had some issues that I wanted addressed, but all he kept saying was 'the owners are out of town'. I finally gave up, and asked what time breakfast was served, and he said 7:30AM, and that was the last we saw of him, or anyone else. I wasn't happy, but decided to focus on enjoying our day at the park, and the great breakfast we'd have the next morning that I'd read so much about. Hoo boy. First off, it turned out breakfast was at 8AM, not 7:30AM. The meal consisted of a little fresh fruit, sausage, and some of the worst pancakes I've ever had. They were dry, overcooked, and any fluffiness had been thoroughly beaten out of them. Not the delights described in the reviews I'd read. To top it off, the breakfast cook/attendant spent the majority of the time on her cell phone, so we all learned a lot more about her personal life than we needed to. Needless to say, we didn't linger. We packed up as quickly as possible, and went in search of breakfast. Don't get me wrong, I understand owners needing time off. I was in the hospitality business for many years, everything from full service hotels, to inns and B&B's. But someone should be left on site that, at a minimum, knows what time breakfast is, and ideally, can deal with guest issues and questions. The positives, and there are many: the property is very clean, the grounds are lovely, the living room area is charming, and you can't beat the location. I do believe the inn has a lot of potential, and really wish our stay had been what I was expecting. I'm giving this 3 instead of 2 stars because I'd like to hope that if we'd been at a time when the owners were on site, our stay would have been a much better experience.

I took pictures of your place and will recommend to anyone I know going to Hawaii, that they should stay at your place. I was there 10 years ago and now so maybe I'll be back in another 10. Those pancakes were awesome! I bought macadamia nut pieces t make some but wondered if there was another secret ingredient in them such as vanilla? The rooms are large and the porches are nice to have also. I wish we had more the there. The grounds are so beautiful and the location perfect, being so close to the national park and snorkeling areas south of Hilo and Hilo itself. From November 2017 Cheryl from Wisconsin

Beautiful scenery, nice, very clean, big rooms, lots of private bathrooms, and breakfast was absolutely delicious. Very close to Volcanos NP, and would stay here again if we come visit the NP. Love the fact that Robert was so easy-going, nice and friendly.

The person there, Robert, was really nice and sharing. The breakfast there was excellent and I especially liked the guava juice he had. The rooms were clean and big with lots of free complimentary stuff. Over all the bed and breakfast was one of the best I have been to.

"Beautiful, peaceful, special!" We only had one night to stay in this lovely inn nestled in a rain forest, and off the beaten path, in Volcano. And that, is my only regret. I wanted days to linger in the glass enclosed dining porch, or the comfy, tastefully decorated living room complete with fireplace. Robert the owner, and his wife, have attended to every comfort one could desire. But the VERY best part of all, was that huge blue and cream bedroom with pillow top king bed, the softest linens imaginable, and walls of windows looking out on the lush Hawaiian landscape. After hiking hours in the heat, wind and sun, we showered and went down for a nap listening the soft rain beginning to fall outdoors. If you think this sounds like heaven, you'd be close. Breakfast the next morning was just fantastic, papaya with bananas, juice, waffles and super tasting sausage! Wish time permitted for at least two more days here! Thank you Robert & Susan!!

Don't stay in hilo. Stay here. The rooms are adequate but man the bed was comfy. The room's heater made it perfect for snuggling. Robert was a perfect host. He stayed out of your way but entertained all your request. He even made egg white omelet for my bf upon request. Note that he was not even serving eggs those mornings. Location was perfect for exploring. Will stay again.

I tried to book this place on Priceline but wanted to call before to get more details about the place. It was 9:29pm. The person I had on the phone was really rude. He told me it was closed (!) and hang up. That means I could I booked a room and still not being able to check in. Very bad experience!

One of the nicest, most welcoming and comfortable B&Bs at which we've ever stayed - and quite reasonably priced. We wholeheartedly recommend Aloha Junction to anyone visiting Volcano National Park. A very special place.

We arrived after dark and the house was empty. Robert said everyone was visiting the erupting volcano at night. Robert had all the amenities available at the door: flashlights, umbrellas, so we took off right away to see the eruption at night; an indelible sight! Returning back, our rooms were wonderful too. We had a refrigerator and microwave in the room; perfect since we brought food supplies from Hilo and through our journey to South Point. The B & B was clean, smelled fresh, no moldy smell. (Hilo and Volcano areas are wet and damp a lot, so other places we stayed smelled of mold.) great place; Robert takes fantastic care and extra touches. He's currently putting in extra bathrooms...at no inconvenience to his guests. Great place!

This was such a wonderful place to stay. The ambiance makes it easy to relax. The kids had fun playing games and exploring the grounds. Being right outside the park made it easy for our family to adventure into the park, and into Hilo. The climate was cooler than Hilo, which was really nice. If you are choosing between this and a stay in Hilo, I would choose this!

Robert was a most accommodating host. Property is well appointed, secluded from the already lightly used local road. Just minutes to Volcano National Park, just up the street from restaurants & services. Breakfast was quite enjoyable, both the food & the conversation with the other guests. Wifi logged on without issues with reasonable speed, Satellite TV offered wide viewing choices. Lovely porch & garden to enjoy. Modern bath, very serviceable mini kitchen in Garden Room where we stayed. Would recommend to all seeking accommodation in Volcano!!

We stayed at Aloha Junction B&B so we could go see Volcanoes National Park. Unfortunately, most of the park was closed because of heavy rain, but Aloha Junction was great. The owners, Robert and Sue, were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was homecooked banana macadamia nut pancakes, fresh papaya, sausage, eggs from their own chickens, juice, and coffee. I'd also like to thank Robert and Sue for being so helpful and flexible when we lost our rental motorcycle key and had to leave it there for the rental company to pick up. It really saved our vacation. We'd also like to thank Donna for giving us a ride back to Hilo to pick up a rental car. Because of so much kindness we were able to continue our trip with a minimum of disruption. I'd definitely go back to Aloha Junction next time we're on the big island and highly recommend it to anyone else.

AMEX Not Welcome We booked two nights at the Aloha Bed and Breakfast in April 2017. Upon arrival we called as per the instructions, but no one answered, so we left a message. After waiting, we went to our assigned room, then waiting another 15 minutes until the owner Robert came by. He investigated the bug we had seen on the second bed, fixed the TV, showed us around the place and asked for payment. We gave him our American Express card. He went to the office in another building, came back 10 minutes later and said that they no longer accept American Express. We booked with AMEX, the logo for AMEX and other charge cards are on the front door, and there in nothing in the online or confirmation materials about not accepting AMEX. We have never had a problem with vendors accepting American Express. We asked what he wanted us to do since it was the only charge card. He suggested cash. We said we could leave, or that we had enough cash for one night, then we could leave. He agreed to us staying one night and even said his wife might give us a discount. We thought that was generous considering the cancellation policy. He left. So we booked a chain hotel 20+ miles away for the next night. When he didn't come back after a while, we went on to the national park. We didn't expect any issues, but they had our phone number or could leave a message on the door. After breakfast the next morning, while guests were still at the table, the owner Susan came in. She was very angry, speaking with a raised voice. She said only she approve changes and there was no way we were getting out of paying for both nights, that we came into the guest room without announcing our arrival, that we did not see a bug, and on and on. We didn't know there was an issue. We did call upon arrival, we thought there was an agreement with owner Robert, and we did see a bug, but she didn't want to listen to us, she just thought we were out to cheat her. We hardy got a word in. She left to check in the office about accepting AMEX. While she was gone, Robert did say that our statements were true, but that we had to do what the "boss lady" said. Only she could make decisions concerning the rooms. We pooled our cash, paid for the 2 nights, then and left after one night with just a dollar between us. #IfAmexIsNotWelcomeLetUsKnow #PhoneRecordingsDontLie #UnprofessionalManagement #WaitingForApology

My kids (14 and 11) and I LOVED our stay at Aloha Junction B & B! The rooms were spacious and everything was immaculate! The other guests were fun and interesting and our kids ended up playing together while the parents talked. Great experience! Highly recommended!

Comfortable, well kept, very close to Volcano National Park entrance. Proprietor Robert was a wealth of information. Breakfast was yummy and served in a light-filled dining/living room.

This was just right for us to spend an overnight near Volcano NP as we were staying in Kona during our week in Hawaii. Bob was so gracious and helpful, even when I was booking the reservation a month ahead; had some issue with the website order but Bob gladly made adjustment for me. As a host he was very good, gave us just what we needed and made sure we got a good breakfast before heading out on our tours. Will definitely stay at AJ when we come back this way.

very nice place. to start, the owners of the house were very welcoming and friendly. next, the room was very clean, beautifully decorated (as was the house and yard) and spacious. the beds were very comfotable and i slept great. there was also great wifi and a tv, and a microwave. finally, the breakfast was very good and the other guests there were also very friendly.

This is one of those places where you go when you want to relax and unwind. It was very quiet and the grounds were well kept. There are dogs on the property, but they are very polite and friendly. (They mostly just sleep in the middle of the driveway, so you would want to watch for this when parking.) We stayed in the Garden Room, which had plenty of space and had an attached private bathroom. There was also a private entrance, which allowed for a quieter entrance when coming in late. One of our favorite features of the room was the fireplace, as the temp was down into the 40s most nights. Breakfast was provided by the host, Robert, and was a bountiful feast! Each morning had a different staple (farm fresh eggs, french toast, pancakes, etc), as well as fruit juice, fresh island fruits and a meat (ham, sausage, bacon). Breakfast was enjoyed with other guests at a communal table, most (if not all) of whom were very friendly and were happy to share their experiences and advise on what to do/see on Big Island. Robert would stand by for most of breakfast and was happy to answer any questions. This was especially evident when we first arrived. Robert was very jovial and was excited to speak with us regarding the B&B, our room, what we had access to (which included a full kitchen with all the amenities) and about what to do on the island. It was then we learned about access to the garden and strawberry plants that we could pick from. What a surprise! It comes down to this: If you are looking for a B&B in or near Volcano, stay here. You'll be glad you did!
