Well I swore after my last experience I would never return. I'm glad I gave them a second chance!! I was here over New year's and it was horrible! Now I'm glad I returned! I brought my family this time and it was 100% better! I now highly recommend Uncle Billy's! Fantastic Wonderful! Will definitely come back!!

We stayed here the night before we flew on to Maui. It was convenient and not as expensive as many other places. We got what we paid for. I would not have stayed for more than one night since the facility is older and in need of updating. It was alright for one night though.

This is a very central hotel in the middle of the downtown. It is very close to all local attractions, and all bars&restaurants are in walking distance. The hotel is a very old hotel. The rooms are spacious but everything is very old, so rooms do not look very clean. Parking area is big and it's fairly cheap.

Uncle Billy's was perfect for my wife and me. Central location made it perfect for us to get to restaurants, stores and the public beach and public pier. Pick ups for tours were nearby, although not right at Uncle Billy's doorstep. We were upgraded to an upper floor room with balcony at no extra charge which we realize my never... More

We rented a room here for the day only as we had to check out of the resort we were in and had a late flight home. The staff was helpful and polite. The room was ready when promised. Normally the charge for parking is $5 but the fee was waived. The hotel is right in the middle of town.... More

Stayed here for 1 night on a 2 night visit to the island. Room was very large (we had "partial ocean view" on 3rd floor. Could only see a tiny glimpse of ocean, but overlooked pool and street so we were happy. In amongst all the shops and nightlife so easy to walk around and come home after a few... More

I flew into KONA and needed somewhere to stay as I hadn't pre-booked and thought I'm sure they'll be somewhere available. I stopped into this one and found that it was reasonably priced $75 per night and I thought, that was ok, but their might be somewhere further on a little bit cheaper. So I wandered off thinking this place... More

My father and I had just arrived in Kona after 14 hours of flying, so I really did not plan on doing much. I decided to stay at Uncle Billy's since it is relatively close to the airport (about 10 miles or so), and it was relatively inexpensive. You are on an island, and there aren't many inexpensive hotels near... More

Booked this at the last minute since we had an event we needed to attend. It was all that was left under 200.00! The website made it look much more pleasant than it actually is! This is completely run down, and the rooms are disgustingly foul. I was honestly nervous about sleeping in the bed!! The bathroom looked just shy... More
