Let's get one thing straight here...B&B's are not hotels. If you want the hotel experience, stay in a hotel. If you stay in a B&B, expect to stay in a person's home, as a house guest. This means: enjoy talking to your fellow guests, enjoy talking to your fellow owner, and if you want something...ask for it! That said...I enjoy... more

Our family of 3 stayed in the Banyan Cottage for 9 nights. The cottage itself is just beautiful! It is rustic and homey with it's dark wood floors to the large windows! The room has a CA King sized bed which was nice and soft and cozy! They put out a roll away bed for our daughter which worked out... more

We returned from Hale Maluhia Country Inn with thoughts that we will never go to another B & B. We stayed at the Malia room-Ken's favorite-It was clean but so dingy that it was depressing. It needed a huge facelift and it felt that the owners were no longer interested in having a B & B. It must have looked... more

Ken and Sue and staff (can't remember name of Greek adminsitrator) We went two weekends in a row. The first with my teenage grandson and my daughter and the second with her little 2 year old. We were welcomed and made to feel at easy. The Banyon House was the peaceful environment we were looking for and needed. The layout... more

My wife and I spent five nights here in early-Sept 2009 and enjoyed our stay. We especially liked breakfast on the lanai, with its hillside aerie setting and delightful birds. Fresh, home-baked bread each morning and a wide array of fresh fruit were quite nice, and the do-it-yourself omelet bar was both novel and delicious. Ken and Sue are friendly... more

First, thank you Ken, Sue & Staff for making my trip to Hawaii so wonderful. I stayed in the Banyan Cottage for 9 days and felt right at home. The Cottage is very charming, very rustic, very private, very Bohemian. I felt like I was living in the tree-tops and there was a beautiful lush view from every window. The... more

I enjoyed my stay at this B&B and enjoyed the well groomed grounds . The Inn Keepers Ken and Sue, and Spiros were very helpful to me and available through-out the day, the room was fresh thanks to Spiros. Breakfast spread in the morning was fantastic! Consisting of fresh baked bread to die for, pastries, local tropical fruits i.e. Papaya,... more

As much as I hate to give someone a poor review, I don't in good conscience want another traveler to be as disappointed as we were with this b&b. Luckily we only stayed one night. The property and the grounds were really neat--many years ago I'm sure. The photos really led us astray. Upon close inspection, the place was dirty... more

Management response from
Ken Smith, Owner,

Our apology to this guest, we did have to replace the hot tub heater which was inconvenient to all. As to the other remarks it is interesting that the previous quest in our Maile Room stayed for 7 nights and gave us a TripAdvisor 5 for their stay. We did find some bugs near our computer and cleaned and replaced...

We stayed in Maile room for 6 nights in January 2009. Ken, Sue and all the staff were super nice and accommodating. Just as other reviewers said, the breakfast on the lanai was fabulous in no small part due to fresh eggs from the chickens living on the premises and Ken's own bread. We chose Ken's place because of the... more
