Booked a 7 nite stay through Expedia for Nov., 2008. Deposit equal to cost of one night was supposed to be charged. Inn immediately charged equivalent of 4 nights' deposit to my credit card. Cancelled the reservation due to change of plans. Inn's policy clearly says there will be a full refund of deposit if cancellation is more than 14... more

This was an amazing place. We stayed in the "Queen" room and had a balcony overlooking both the falls and Hilo. This inn is located up the hills behind Hilo so it's cooler at night (but it also means for a tense drive up the single lane road once it gets dark). The breakfast served was healthy and relaxed. The... more

We found this b&b on the web and thought it sounded opluent and lovely. We didn't quite realise how far out of Hilo it is (about 10 miles) - so you definitely need a car to get there! There were problems with our booking (we had a room change twice, then when we got there found we'd been put into... more

Three words: romantic waterfall getaway. We stayed three nights on our 15th anniversary trip and loved every minute of it. Len and Jane were great hosts, with Jane stopping by each morning to chat over breakfast. And Liz, our innkeeper, made us great breakfasts in the Harmony House each morning: eggs, waffles, fresh tropical fruit, juice, various kinds of bread,... more

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE We stayed at the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls last month and and had an incredible time. The Inn is on the most beautiful property we have seen during our Hawaiian vacation. All the buildings are built on a cliff overlooking this 100 foot waterfall! Breakfast was very yummy with eggs and wafftles with fruit. We stayed at the... more

We first stayed at the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls last year (April 07). Our stay was approximately 10 days and we knew on the very first day that we'd be coming back the next year. This year ( March, April 08) we stayed for two weeks and as before we knew we'd be coming back, ( we've already made reservations... more

Incredibly peaceful and quiet. The room was nicely furnished and well kept. We had spent the previous week of our trip on the Kona side of the island and were very pleased with this place. The owners were very friendly and helpful as well. There was a full spread out every morning for breakfast, including big ol waffles and omelettes... more

Rooms were a little on the small side, but clean and nicely furnished. we stayed one of our two night in the new building called Harmony. beautiful chinese furniture and art displayed on the... more

Firstly, the waterfall is worth it. This is your Hawaiian fantasy come true in waterfalls. Location is not that far from town, good road, gorgeous spot. The rooms, however, are just okay. The web site makes everything look spectacular, of course. Mirror in the bathroom dirty, not cleaned for a couple of days. Hair on the wall (not mine) also... more
