Rustic setting & basic accommodations. Lots of space. Nice having kitchen available. Mattresses need upgraded or thick mattress pads added. Would also recommend removing the old combination key lock on the front door as it was a bit confusing when we got there late at night until we noticed the electronic keypad.

VFI is very close to Volcano National Park and it was the main reason why we chose to stay here. The house is nestled in the rainforest with a short drive from the main road so its very quiet. Our room is spacious with many windows facing the rainforest and a big patio. Our room is comfortable and pleasant. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. The host, Jon, is also a very nice guy and approachable. Breakfast is a grab and go and has plenty of fresh fruits which is a bonus!

Me and my daughter had a very good experience at the Volcano Forest Inn. It is literally at 5 minute drive of the entrance of the Volcano National Park. Which allow us to visit the volcano easily. The rooms was pretty big, confortable and clean. The communication with the owner and our arrival was easy. We were warned by email that the weather could be chilly because of the rain forest. We were ok, but everyone should be aware that it was about 12 to 15 Celsius early mourning. Also there is a cleaning fee of 80$ that is not mentioned in Expedia web site. Overall, for the price, I would highly recommend this hotel.

The place needs some TLC. For example, the ceiling light in the hallway was missing the glass shade. Our bathroom light only had bulbs in 2 or the 4 sockets. Paint should be touched up. And breakfast was absolute bare minimum. I threw away an orange that had turned green but was still in the fruit bowl.
