Wow this stay was beyond words. The bungalow was spacious, well thought out and put together, clean, comfortable, and the view was great. We could see the ocean, loved watching planes take off from the airport, the sunrise, and the trees around the location. We slept the best we have all trip. Recharged and relaxed! Was a great location close enough to Hilo for the day, but far enough to be quiet at night for a great rest. We would highly recommend this place.

We had an incredible stay at Eco Village, and would highly recommend it! The bungalow rooms are thoughtfully designed and comfortable, and you can't beat the beautiful mountain view of the farm and the ocean below. The hosts, Mauricio and Paola, are absolutely delightful sharing some fresh bananas and cherries from their fruit trees and telling all about their gorgeous sustainable property.

First of all , the construction of this property is impeccable. Everything lines up perfectly. Doors, windows, tiles and beams on the ceiling. The construction is perfectly done.Everything worked perfectly and the price point should be increased (My only complaint)! The owners/hosts are beyond amazing and have clearly poured their hearts into this property.Stay here for an amazing time. This property is a complete steal at this price point and worth the stay.

Mahalo for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We'd be honored to welcome you back anytime!

We had a great time at our stay at the Eco Village. It's a beautiful property with lots of fruit trees planted on it, so we loved taking a morning walk to see them. The units are close to each other, but we felt that there was still good privacy maintained. There's no kitchen to cook food, but lots of great restaurants in Hilo.

Perfect!!

I loved everything about this property. It was close enough to Hilo to be convenient, but also far enough out of town to feel serene and peaceful. The place was sparkling clean and well-designed with all the amenities you'd expect, while remaining true to its eco-friendly claims. My favorite part was swinging in the hammock watching sunset, and picking fresh lychees off the trees. I'd highly recommend!!

Perfectly secluded, quiet, and just the right size

I was as impressed with the set-up of this quaint eco-bungalow as I was with the stunning sunrise views. The check-in process was painless, the host was communicative, and the small bungalow was clean and well-stocked. Despite its small size, there wasn’t a single item my husband and I found ourselves in want of during our short stay. They could have easily relied on the location and views alone to make our stay memorable, but the thoughtful additions of tea, oatmeal, slippers, a compost bucket, and even aloe vera were such a pleasant surprise. I’m so happy with this find, and would gladly recommend to any single or couple looking for a peaceful place in the upper hills of Hilo.

Friendly stay with a view of the town

The owners are very friendly, we let them know when we were coming and they greeted us when we arrived to walk through the property. In the morning we were greeted with spectacular views of Hilo and fresh bananas from the garden. This property is great for eco-conscious visitors, as the owners make great efforts to reduce their impact on the environment and teach visitors about their efforts as well. A few things to note: despite being about 3 miles outside of Hilo, it takes a solid 10-15 minutes to get to town since the private road is one-lane and winds through adjacent farmlands. Also, coqui frogs are in the neighborhood and you will hear them at night. They sounded nice to us visitors but earplugs might be useful if you have the windows open.

Mahalo for your kind words. As you stated, we are paying attention to the way we do conscious tourism at the Eco Village including the compost our guests generate to feed our trees and the compostable trash bags and biodegradable soaps we use to make a more "green" stay for our guests at the Village. We really hope to send to the world a humble message of responsibility for Mother Nature that surrounds us including the coqui frogs :)

The property was wonderful and secluded. Very peaceful for someone wanting to be near Hilo, but feel like they are in the middle of nowhere. We throughly enjoyed our stay and the property owner was kind enough to even send us information on Merrie Monarch, which just happened to be going on while we were there!The only issues we had were that the road leading to the property is gravel and has speed bumps. These are nearly impossible to see, and we only realized they had little markers for them after we hit one. A warning note in the welcome message we received would have been appreciated. The other issue we had was that we were sent the checkout information the morning of our checkout. I do not check my email extremely frequently, so I did not see the list of things she wanted us to do until after we had already left the property. We had done the majority of the requirements, but there were a couple of things we did not realize we needed to do. If these had been sent the night before, or even at the time of check-in, I would have been more likely to have seen the message and could have done everything. That being said, I would recommend staying here. Just be on the lookout for speed bumps and checkout info the morning of departure.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for recommending Eco Village! We're delighted you enjoyed the peaceful setting, your time near Hilo, and that we could help you experience the Merrie Monarch Festival during your visit. We also truly appreciate your helpful feedback. We've taken your suggestions to heart and have already updated our guest communications. Future guests will receive a reminder about the gravel road and speed bumps before arrival so they know to drive slowly, especially when arriving for the first time. We've also changed the timing of our checkout instructions so they're sent the evening before departure, giving guests plenty of time to review them. Thank you again for staying with us and for helping us improve the guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a future visit to the Big Island!

A true piece of paradise. It had everything we were looking for and more: a comfortable bed, a clean, well-appointed room, beautiful sunrises, and unexpected serenity. If you have time, take a tour of the gorgeous, well-kept grounds with the host, Mau—it will make your stay even more special. He truly lives aloha, sharing his love for people and the land. One tip: be prepared for a drive up the hillside to this secluded spot. It’s well worth it.

This place is a great - hosts are amazing people. They are intelligent, passionate, flexible, and friendly. Sunsrise view is great. Incredibly safe environment. You really feel like you have a degree of quiet separation from the bustle of Hilo that is only a short drive away. So best of both worlds. The tradeoff is that the village access does require a short drive on unpaved roads. So prepare mentally that this is a slightly more secluded location. You get a simple but thoughtfully decorated and serene space that is in the middle of beautiful plants and fruit trees and next to wonderful farm animals (goats and chickens). Advice: bring a small fan if possible, in case it is during a hot season.
