Lava Lookout, LLC

This place is fabulous. It was so neat to see the little town of buildings built right on the lava! The lava lookout looks rough from the outside but the inside is super clean and modern. It was so peaceful to relax on the hammock on the little patio off our room. I cannot recommend this place enough! It's definitely one of my top Airbnbs I've ever stayed at.

Amazing view. The room were clean and spacious. We loved to lookout tower for amazing sunset. The shared kitchen was really pretty but need more cleaning. The guest are supposed to clean after themselves but some people leave it a bit dirty. Also there is a fridge to leave your food in it. Others guest took our space... Maybe somebody from staff should come and deep clean the kitchen et throw away food that is expired every other day!

This place is a gem. We didnt expect much as this is an off grid area but the place was amazing. Clean room, ample lighting, beautiful balcony with great view. They have pantry and they have everything from food to utensils. Road to the place is a bit rough and it is super dark at night. Will suggest to check in during daytime. We will definitely never forget this place.

If you are looking for an adventure and first hand lava experience along your stay, this is the place. Decent rooms and has all amenities one would need, common kitchen with all needed utensils and a spot with telescope to view the moon at night- what else would one need!! We were there for a night and loved our stay. The lady in charge there is pretty helpful and polite. We met wonderful people staying there for their 2nd or 3rd time. Make sure to keep insect repellent since during/after rains, one may encounter bugs/mosquitoes. You can prepare meals and store it in refrigerator or take ready to eat stuff or a takeout if you don’t want to cook there. Highly recommend this place for a fabulously different experience.

Serene Rustic beauty. Lava lookout is a nicely supplied cabin on the lava flows. The zen atmosphere and shared spaces makes this a lovely place to stay on the big island.

When we booked Lava lookout, we knew what we are getting into. It's a place in Kalapana in the middle of nowhere. We wanted an experience to stay on the frozen lava fields with pitch dark surroundings and clear starry skies. While imagining it was one thing, experiencing it completely another. This place is absolutely amazing. The room is spacious with latest finishes in the bathroom. It's off grid and run completely on solar. There's a shared kitchen with all the necessary paraphernalia that you need. Above all, the host is extremely hospitable. Matthew provided clear instructions on how to get there, which were life saving as we arrived late at night with no signs or lights around. He was helpful all along our stay. He provided us umbrellas and ponchos which were quite helpful when it rained a little. He's also quite cheerful, friendly as he played with our kid during dinner time. In addition, as I referenced earlier, the place offers pitch dark skies, navigating and stargazing through which was spectacular and an experience to have. Overall, we had an amazing time. Only one feedback, the kitchen could be a little more cleaner.

Amazing location if you are craving unique landscape and secluded area. Off grid house that provides everything you need which is impressive. Great deal for someone traveling and wants not typical hotel/stay.

We absolutely loved this place. The rooms are spacious and clean with private balconies. A large shared outdoor kitchen and we enjoyed Andre who cooked up a wonderful soup for all to share. We hope to go again this February.
