Close to Volcanoes Park.

Property is more of an Airbnb. It was located in a lush tropical property and check in was a key left in the units door. Good location for visiting Volcanoes park. Good place if you’re mode of travel is simple with minimal amenities. Owners made the stay comfortable. Unfortunately not many restaurants were open on our Monday visit.

I was a bit concerned about the cleanliness of the property. The bed sheets were rumpled upon "check in" as though they had been slept upon. I knew the property was eclectic so the exterior was as expected but i thought the interior could be updated more. IE the mottled colored rough concrete shower floor...the electrical plug above the tiny sink....just 2 of the items that could be improved upon. However, it is very close to Volcanoes national park and that's a plus. And it doesn't pretend to be the Four Seasons.

Tropical oasis

This is a unique place to stay. We had the "Honeymoon Suite" complete with a large inroom "terrarium" that looks like it might be a concerted hottub. It's separated from thr living area with glass, and has fish swimming around. Kind of Hawaii cool. The bathroom has a double shower with beautiful inlaid art. The hosts left us fresh fruit and snacks every day, and there's a convenient mini frig and micrwave, as well as dishes and utensils. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. The only negative was the whirlpool tub, which didn't look clean and was located in a somewhat isolated spot. The location is excellent for exploring Volcano National Park, and it met our needs. It's also beautifully landscaped with orchids and tropical flowers. I'd recommend to others.
