Somewhere Over Rainbow Loft - Hilo NEW

We had a wonderful stay would do it again stair case railing a little flimsy shaky other than that everything was amazing

Clean and inviting. Greeted with a bowl of welcome snacks to start the stay which we enjoyed! Essentials provided including a rice cooker for the times you wanna stay in and create your own meal. Owners took great thought into considering small details. E.g. ear plugs to help block out the sound of nature if it's not something you find yourself falling asleep too. Overall, the place was comfortable. A home away from home.

On a whim we decided to fly to the Big Island and avoid the crowds and get a little hometown feel in Hilo. We missed the volcano eruption by just two days but that was the only disappointment for the trip. Our accommodations were perfect - exactly as described and photo’d. The welcome treat and coffee was a very nice touch. This was a perfect location to spend a day at Hawaii Volcano Ntl Park and another day driving around the island. The rest of the time we parked the car and walked the town a d enjoyed great restaurants, farmers markets and the locals. Don’t stay anywhere else in Hilo - you wi t be disappointed with Simone’s Over The Rainbow!

Quaint property and is accurately represented in the listing. All communication with host was great. Appreciated the goodies left for us to enjoy during our visit. The only feedback is for the listing to be updated that the washer/dryer is not in the actual unit and there are certain hours when it can be utilized.

Very cute and centrally located.

We stayed 3 packed days! From farmers markets, gardens, beaches, planetariums and water falls we did a lot. The accommodations at the Rainbow Loft were great. The place was clean and beautifully located for what we wanted to do. The neighborhood is safe and a parking spot is provided which is a plus as street parking is crowded. The kitchen is well appointed. A/C in the bedrooms if needed but the breeze cooled the place down enough that we did not. Laundry is across the driveway and easy to access. As is common for a loft the main full bath is downstairs but beds upstairs. There is a half bath upstairs so don’t worry, you aren’t fumbling down the stairs to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night.Another bonus is they do not make you jump through a lot of clean-up hoops before checking out. Just empty the trash on your way out. Everything is so expensive in Hawaii that finding this lovely accommodation for a nice price was a pleasant surprise. The quality for the price was great and we made many memories here.

Overall the accommodations were quite good, it was well stocked with supplies (kitchen, towels, other supplies) and was very conveniently located to the downtown Hilo area. For the price point, we would book this residence again.A couple of items that could be improved upon:- while the mattresses were good, the pillows were very hard.- the barbecue was quite small (propane canister for fuel), and did not produce enough heat to use.- there is no washer/dryer on-site.- table for eating was small and flimsy.One other point to note (and certainly something the owner cannot control) - the frogs start croaking at sunset and don’t stop until three in the morning, and are quite loud. The owner does provide a large supply of earplugs, but it could bother a light sleeper.While there were minor issues, to reiterate, we would stay at this unit again.

Plenty of room for our group of 6. Well equipped with everything we needed. Extras like cooler and beach towels were appreciated, Even an extra toothbrush when my luggage was delayed! Treats like coffee, cookies and honey were an extra special unexpected treat. Thanks!

This property is very charming and cozy. We (couple) stayed for three nights and simply loved the atmosphere. Every single detail, from decoration to amenities really well thought of. Parking is right in front of the unit, which makes easy loading and unloading. Property is located walking distance from restaurants and farmers market. Highly recommended.

We walked to downtown for drinks and dinner, very convenient. The amazing farmers market is also minutes away. The host’s little gifts upon our arrival were a nice touch. We had a wonderful stay

We enjoyed the stay. The gifts of cookies, coffee and honey were yummy. Everything was great except the view was not too good. Also, the walls were thin and we could here the neighbors walking up and down the stairs late at night.

Beautiful space and great location. Outstanding communication. Would definitely stay here again!

Nicely appointed unit in a convenient location to getting into town for food/drink. Clear communication throughout the process. Would definitely stay here again!

The Rainbow Loft is a hidden gem in Hilo! Very close to downtown Hilo, Rainbow Falls and other trails. We appreciated how clean the place was, as well as the wonderful amenities (washer/dryer, luggage racks, coffee, etc.). It is within walking distance to local businesses, though we felt more comfortable driving. Thank you Steven for a wonderful stay!
