“nice old house - very expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

we stayed two nights at maureens in two rooms (one upstairs with two bed and one downstairs with one big bed). the bedrooms upstairs was really small for two adults and two suitcases, we discovered a cockroach, but i guess thats pretty normal for the tropics.
bathrooms were ok- but the water systems seems very old and also the furniture is very old (looks nice though) but maybe some of them need a replacement. no tv in rooms - but wifi.

breakfast was just a bowl of papaya and banana and coffee (not the best one) and some random juice. one day we had blueberry pancakes and the other day a quiche - it tasted nice but..yeah ..i expected a little bit more for that price.

carpark is in front of the house. the house is unlocked (since 25 years) also you can't lock the rooms while you're gone on a trip or something. Hilo is quite wet area so everything is wet there..you can feel it after a few minutes..the cloth and everything gets a little bit clammy.

in conclusion: nice place for a short stay.

maureen is really helpful to explore the area and has some great advices for the stay.

“Great B and B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

This B and B is near the airport, but very quiet area across from the beach. Rooms were clean and comfy. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Hilo was a few miles down the road, but an easy distance. The house is charming and we were there before Christmas and got to see a huge decorated tree in the living room which by the way has a huge ceiling. Beautiful arched wooden doorways. Great stay!!!

Room Tip: Every room was great....we had our choice of 4. We picked the largest.

“We enjoyed our stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

Slightly off the beaten path and out of the crowds of the Downtown Hilo area, this B&B was perfectly situated. Beautiful beach right across the street. Breakfast was tasty and fun around the community table. The beauty and comfort of the facility is only trumped by Maureen's incredible spirit and hospitality. Go Ravens!

Room Tip: The King Size room was airy and the night breeze was wonderful.

“Disappointingly expensive”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2012

When entering the driveway you get the impression you are in a junk yard.: an old BMW falling apart, a barking dog and lack of reception.
The owner informed us that there is no locks on the outside doors which created a feeling of insecurity. She then left telling us she can be reached by cell phone. We blook our room with a chair for the night.
The breakfast consisted only of a small bol of fruits, pancakes and terrible coffee.
After driving from Kona we wanted to take a shower but the plumbing was such in bad shape we were afraid it would fall apart. The shower head had no support so we had to hold it for each other.
We paid 90$ plus tax which we consider too much for what we received.

“Deception, deception, deception”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2012

deception 1: The parking is in front of a garage where piles of junk are all around, and an uncared for garden welcomes you to the house. Deception 2: The house is worn down with lots of paint pealing from the walls and without any lock whatsoever, the main foyer is not bad with old wood beams. Deception 3: The rooms are dirty, with a quater inch of dirt on the cealing fan, the screens are full of holes and we had to close the windows to keep the bugs out, it was very hot all night. Deception 4: The bathrooms SHARED were dirty, very old appliance with missing enamel, the plumbing dated from the sixties, it was an adventure just to take a shower. Deception 5: The breakfast, small bowl of bananas and papayas with some waffles and very sweet cheap sirup, infect coffee, THAT'S IT. If you like deceptions, This is the place for you, if you want a good B&B at a fair price go somewhere else, anywhere.
