What guests think
At Kohala Village INN, travellers highlight very clean, charming plantation‑style rooms and a quiet, walkable Hawi location, while noting the property’s minimalist setup with keypad self check‑in and staffing that is present only intermittently.
Rooms are simple and comfortable for short stays, but thin walls mean noise travels when the property is busy, and mattress comfort varies. Amenities are basic, with a shared microwave and water dispenser, but guests repeatedly note no coffee or ice available. Hawi’s shops and cafés are steps away, yet drives to southern beaches or Volcanoes National Park are long. Expect a clean, no‑frills base in a relaxed small‑town setting.

The room was delightful. Clean and updated. Nicely furnished. Great linens. Comfy bed. The whole arrangement of the building is old style plantation with that old charm. Light and airy, Old double hung windows rattled with the wind. Some nice outdoor features in the courtyard with picnic tables and Plumeria Tree. Nice, inviting sitting areas in lobby and hallway. Lobby always open, with dining table, microwave, some teas and water dispenser. The surrounding of the building was a bit forlorn. Hard to find the registration entrance. Outbuildings very dates. Know that the little Hawi Town has only a few good eating options. This is a remote place.

Easy check-in. Just the basics, bedroom and bathroom. Linens were clean and fresh. Open air rooms. Affordable. Shared microwave in the common room so we could heat our breakfast. Staff were very friendly and recommended local shopping and coffee options all in walking distance. This is a no frills property. If you want to slow down and relax, this is the place with an authentic Big Island vibe.

We stayed in Hawi for 1 night, The property is well maintained and clean. They have a self check in and out process which is convenient. Also the main door entry to the hotel are number locked so it is very secure. There is a common room with microwave, water dispenser and dining facility. The room had comfortable beds and bathroom was spacious and clean. There is lobby space in front of the rooms with chairs wherein you can relax. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. On Saturday they had a Farmer's Market right at the Hotel doorstep which was a nice addition. I would recommend this place to stay and will book again.

The building is a one story old plantation home arranged around a central courtyard with a covered breezeway. With original wood floors, windows and hardware, it displays quite a bit of charm. The large windows on both sides of the room allow for max ventilation and we did not need AC. HOWEVER.... the quaintness has its pitfalls and all the above features make for a VERY NOISY PLACE. We had a lovely first evening when the hotel was empty but for one other room; then all hell broke loose the next evening, when the hotel filled up with guests partying and chatting in the courtyard and in the breezeway until the wee hour, other guests leaving noisily at the crack of dawn, kids playing in the courtyard and running around the covered porch, etc... Trash cans were left overflowing after the party, hence my so-so rating for cleanliness. There is no onsite management, which did not bother us, but is to be noted. There is a farmers market in front of the hotel on Saturday mornings, nice to grab pastries or fresh produce for breakfast or picnic.

Really neat little motel. Their check in/out system was super convenient. The rooms are a little smaller than what some may be used to but if you’re spending your Hawaii vacation in your hotel room you’re doing it wrong. Would definitely stay here again.

The property itself is well maintained and very clean. It is an older hotel which is charming. It is not at all soundproof. This would be okay, but we stayed on a Saturday night when the same property hosted a live music event. It shut down at 10pm, but we had no idea when we reserved that this event would be on. As most area restaurants close early (7pm), it meant we were in our room by 7pm and listening to the distorted noise of amplified music at a distance for three hours. Had we known about this, we would not have reserved. I appreciate that this area is suffering economically and that all businesses need to be creative in finding ways to make money. Still, this combination (evening music events plus historic hotel with no soundproofing) is probably not going to work unless they only have hotel guests who know about the event when booking and attend it themselves.

The property was superbly well kept up. It was well decorated in quiet, good taste. It had a warmth due to its use of pine on the ceiling. It was painted in warm, inviting colors. I liked the use of photographs of people showing their individuality and kindliness. Very wholesome place overall. The proprietor has taken great pains with the place.

Minimalistic- not worth the price. The size of the room was fine, was clean, and the shower pressure and water temperature (hot) were great; But no cleaning of linens over 6 nights!! (Cleaned/changed towels once and we had to ask for more shampoo); no coffee in the room or lobby!!! A minimalist stay- for a more than minimal price. Close to Pololu trailhead, very far drive to beaches in the South and Volcano Park. Very poor acoustics- heard every conversation of other guests arriving after 10pm!

What a cool place to stay! Our family of 4 stayed in 2 rooms with an adjoining bathroom. There wasn’t anyone at the desk or anywhere else but they helpfully left instructions for us to enter on our own. The beds could have been more comfortable, and we felt a bit exposed to the parking lot, but the rooms were tidy and cute. This property is part of a cooperatively-owned community/farm/classroom/event space, which is so cool. We regret that we missed the Night Market on the first Wednesday of the month.

Staff were pleasant and helpful. Room air conditioning was great. Instructions for security locks could be better. Great location and option for our short stay in Hawi.

We had to cancel last minute due to medical situation and the hotel was completely unaccommodating. We are not the type to cancel last minute. But..... to not make an exception.... I urge others to book at a more compassionate establishment. Expedia was totally willing to issue a refund because we couldn't travel due to circumstances. The hotel refused. Bad business....

Location
Central in Hawi and walkable to shops and cafés; convenient for North Kohala sights like Pololu. Several note it’s remote for southern beaches and Volcanoes National Park.

Minimalistic- not worth the price. The size of the room was fine, was clean, and the shower pressure and water temperature (hot) were great; But no cleaning of linens over 6 nights!! (Cleaned/changed towels once and we had to ask for more shampoo); no coffee in the room or lobby!!! A minimalist stay- for a more than minimal price. Close to Pololu trailhead, very far drive to beaches in the South and Volcano Park. Very poor acoustics- heard every conversation of other guests arriving after 10pm!

I like the location for the things I like to do. The climate is wonderful. Its quiet and clean, the lack of standard services offered by similar establishments is offset by the availability of services such as resturants, shops, groceries, gas stations, etc, all within walking distance. I also like the plantation motif. Great place-

Good for what we needed. Right in center of small Hawi. Walk to a couple restaurants and shops. Pretty courtyard, we like to hear coqui and roosters. It was quiet when we were there but the nature of the property means you would hear any other guest noise.

Location was close to little downtown, coffee shop and restaurants. Self Check in process was simple. Nicely decorated. Very clean. There is a community microwave and water dispenser but no coffee maker. Fridge in the room. We were very happy with this hotel.

The room was delightful. Clean and updated. Nicely furnished. Great linens. Comfy bed. The whole arrangement of the building is old style plantation with that old charm. Light and airy, Old double hung windows rattled with the wind. Some nice outdoor features in the courtyard with picnic tables and Plumeria Tree. Nice, inviting sitting areas in lobby and hallway. Lobby always open, with dining table, microwave, some teas and water dispenser. The surrounding of the building was a bit forlorn. Hard to find the registration entrance. Outbuildings very dates. Know that the little Hawi Town has only a few good eating options. This is a remote place.

Not so good. It could be made more pleasant by providing some coffee/tea. Not having a 24/7 front desk support is something we felt like concerned if something happens to the occupant.

We stayed in Hawi for 1 night, The property is well maintained and clean. They have a self check in and out process which is convenient. Also the main door entry to the hotel are number locked so it is very secure. There is a common room with microwave, water dispenser and dining facility. The room had comfortable beds and bathroom was spacious and clean. There is lobby space in front of the rooms with chairs wherein you can relax. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. On Saturday they had a Farmer's Market right at the Hotel doorstep which was a nice addition. I would recommend this place to stay and will book again.

There was no coffee available. The lobby wasn't going to open until 10:00 a.m., and though it looked like they would have coffee there, none was available, nor was it the afternoon/evening before. Very disappointed about that. Otherwise the place was lovely.

Other than the lack of coffee, and ice on the property, the limited staff availability (non existent for 21 hours of the day) and the cockroach visitor in our bathroom, the room was satisfactory and our stay okay.

Had a nice stay here in Hawi without completely breaking the bank, tho I do miss the old funky hotel that used to be a brothel. This was considerably more comfy, if pricier. Still a decent price. Nice people, right around the corner from the main area of shops in town so coffee and meals were simple. Great option.
