Very accommodating even though I reserved last minute, called to check in right before end of day and had to leave early due to family emergency. At least I got to shower. Very cozy. Very clean. Will recommend!

I have stayed at Aarons Cottage Amy times. This place is extremely comfortable and clean. I also love the area and how close it is to the ocean. They also have a house available for rent as well for large families. I definitely recommend booking.

Aaron's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay! Having a private room, but access to the gardens, a shared kitchen, and living spaces was incredibly lovely. They had everything you needed, even some complimentary snacks and water. Thank you Aaron's....I'll be back!
I had a wonderful stay here. Property was easy to find, clean & quiet. The AC worked great and had the most comfy bed & pillows I have ever slept on! I would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean. Staff was responsive. Air conditioning was acceptable. Only issue was appearance of small bugs and a lizard but I guess that is acceptable for a property in that area.

I really liked my stay at Aaron's cottage on the Big Island in Hilo. The cottage was clean, and perfect just for me. I visit my son Reg, I will definitely stay at Aaron's cottage again. I like that they had an open kitchen Should you desire to cook a meal.

My stay at Aaron's Cottage was good, they left detailed instructions on how to self check-in once I arrived. The property itself is close to a beach in the back, close to downtown Hilo, some tourist attractions and restaurants that can be easily accessed with a car. The unit was cleaned and well stocked with essential amenities, it has an air conditioner and ceiling fan to keep the place cool. There's a communal kitchen that can be used if opt to stay in. Overall, the place is quiet and I had a good experience.

My wife and I wanted to take a break from Oahu and booked Aaron’s Cottage for 2 nights. It was perfect being only a few miles from the airport, near Hilo town, nice beaches a short walk up the road. We booked cottage #5 and it was the best. Everything was clean and fresh!
Definitely staying there the next time we come back.

I enjoyed that is was chill and quiet, and the beach was within walking distance.
The room could use some upgrades, some things like the outlet covers were loose, the back screen door did not move smoothly, the lanai railing was loose and not connected at the bottom, and the shower curtain did not contain the water from the shower, so water ended up getting onto the floor in the bathroom. This type of shower really needs a solid glass door/wall to keep the water from going everywhere.

The property was simple and had everything we needed. Units are clean. Ws not aware the kitchen was shared with another unit but it was ok. We were respectful of each other. Good experience, conveniently located, tropical setting. Very Big Island!

I stayed at Aaron's cottage for two nights and it was a great experience. The cottage was cozy, equipped with all the amenities you could need. It had AC, fans, hot water, a comfortable bed, a kitchenette and full bathroom. The place is easy to find and there is a nice beach within walking distance. The place is ideal for staying in the Hilo area or for day trips to Volcanoes National Park, or drive to the top of Mauna Kea (4WD required). Several great local restaurants as well as supermarkets around the area.

Aaron’s cottage was a great place to stay. Granted we only stayed one night, but it was clean, quiet, convenient and comfy (however the pillows were extremely thin). For someone like me that has neck issues it could’ve been a problem (manager: May want to check the pillows and replace them). However I travel with my own pillow bc I expect these types of things so it was no biggie for me. Otherwise…GREAT stay!
