We stayed for two nights and unfortunately did not enjoy our experience. The hosts were responsive which was a plus. There were also various complimentary sun care products to choose from. However, in our opinion, the current condition of the property makes it overpriced. Cleanness: - Foreign hair in our bed sheet and in the shower. - Bed headboard has mold. The woven texture of the headboard and the humid local weather are not a good mix. Noise level: - Very poor sound proofing in the built structure. When all windows and doors are closed, the noise level is similar to when windows/doors were open. With the widespread of coqui frogs on the island, using ear plugs was less of an option but more of a must to sleep through the night in this property. - The property is right off of an commonly taken road and you can hear cars passing. We stayed at another place for the rest of our trip and did not need ear plugs when windows/doors closed. Other: - Bed (mattress and spring box) is on a thin-metal mobile frame. Not very sturdy. - Kitchen breakfast table was quite wobbly. - Washroom sink is loose with caulking coming off. - No bug screen for the bathroom window - some insects will come in, especially when light is lit at night. We can see the hosts put in lots of efforts for the outdoor space. There were a variety of flowers and fruit plants to view. It was very enjoyable to walk in the back. Hope the actual studio can be maintained better.

Clean comfortable stay - Noisy
The place is cute, clean and comfortable. Very nice for a short stay. The outdoor spaces are very inviting. Lots of road noise, screaming neighbors, dogs barking at all hours and the frogs go all night you will love them or hate them, owner fortunately provided ear plugs.

Rain Forest hideaway was a perfect spot for my husband and I. It was clean, uncluttered but had everything we required for our stay. The surrounding garden is beautiful! As mentioned by the owners, the frogs are noisy but we ended up looking forward to listening to their chorus every evening. The location is close to town, the airport, grocery and other stores. The beautiful beaches and parks are a very short walk away. Cathy was very quick to respond to our questions. Otherwise, it was a very private location. We highly recommend Rain Forest hideaway for a “big island” stay.

Visiting Hilo
I had a great stay in this very private room. Although attached to the house, it was completely private and I had my own patio for enjoying my morning tea in private with the birds and palm trees. The unit was very well laid out and very clean and comfortable. I would recommend to friends who may travel here. Good size for one or two! Great hosts and gorgeous property.

Great location and beautiful setting
We like the cleanliness, the amenities were great and closeness to the beach. I lived in Puerto Rico years ago and so the coqui were a treat for me. We very much enjoyed being there and would come again.

Great space
A very inviting place to stay. Location is great and very easy to get into. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Hilo. Only negative and only my preference, is that it doesn't have a washer & dryer on site for use especially since it's hard for items to air dry due to the wetness. But truly nice space inside & out.
