For those who are looking for authentic travel, look no further. Ma’ukele Lodge bed and breakfast in Pāhoa is a special experience in a stunning location. To me, feels like real Hawaii. I feel honored and grateful to have stayed there and met Raven and Mark. We still feel their Aloha spirit. When I return one day, I will take more outdoor showers, heaven!
If you want an experience and not a hotel, this is a good place to consider. Don’t complain if you wanted a Marriott; it’s not the Marriott.
The hostess and host are kind and genuine.
The lodging is nestled in a neighborhood, but it feels almost like a jungle. The shower is outside and is reasonably private.
Don’t mind the geckos lingering nearby as you enjoy fresh fruit for breakfast.
If you like hotels with all the amenities, this might not be the place for you.
This is an amazing bed-and-breakfast!
The house is surrounded by tropical plants and wildlife.
All night you will be serenaded by frogs and birds.
Our room had an outdoor shower and bath that were private and secluded.
Every morning we had coffee and a wonderful fruit bowl.
We were also offered eggs and toast.
Our hosts, Raven And Mark, were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
They had great recommendations on local beaches, local restaurants, and good places to visit all over the big island.
I will definitely be staying here again!
What isn’t unique about this place? It’s an intimate b&b, we stayed in the larger room which has three full size beds with nets and a kitchenette. The bathtub and shower are outside - fenced from prying eyes but fun. The decor is Bohemian Eclectic and I spent quite a bit of time in the living room of the main house jamming with host Mark - he just got a stand up bass to go with the piano and ukes I remember from last time (did I mention we came back). Excellent breakfast on the deck looking at the ocean, geckos peeping at us. It’s not for people who absolutely need AC or who can’t handle the chorus of frogs doing their frog song at night. It’s way out there, geographically and figuratively. But we love it.
Raven is a sweet and phenomenal host, and the property is beautiful! Gorgeous views, private beach access to watch the sunrise. I loved the outdoor shower, and the beds were really comfy!
The Ma'ukele Lodge is a very unique place. The grounds and beach are gorgeous. The lava flow is right between the house and the ocean, and walking to the beach was an amazing and beautiful experience. The breakfast was great and so was sharing it with the geckos.
This is a B&B, Raven & Mark’s home (not a hotel). We loved the location in Pahoa which was impacted by the lava flow in May 2018. Raven makes the best breakfast to get your day started. Mark has all these great stories, and tells you where to visit and what trails to do at the Hawaii Volcano State Park. The backyard of their home is just breathtaking, and you’ll never see this anywhere else!! We stayed in the Hawaiian Suite which had 3 big beds, a microwave and a mini-refrigerator stocked with drinks, fruit and chocolates. There was an outdoor shower (wonderful to use) or tub, and a backyard to take in the island feel. We are in Kona now and it’s so touristy, crowded with people and cars. Wish we could be at Raven & Mark’s oasis.
Uniquely quirky lodge with authentic Hawaiian flair. In the Hawaiian suite, you’re showering outdoors under a canopy of tropical plants in a lush garden, enveloped by the chirping of hundreds of coqui frogs and the distant rumbling of waves crashing onto the rugged lava coast. The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and prepare an amazing breakfast that you can eat on the terrace with ocean view. Definitely not the typical hotel experience but so much more memorable.
We stayed 2 nights there, amazing stay in a peaceful area. Wonderful hosts, great advice from Mark, delicious breakfasts (homemade by Raven, with fresh products from the garden), and direct access to the Ocean. We strongly recommend this place, looking forward to a next visit :)

This property and it’s caregivers, Ravin and Mark are all a hidden gem in this area. I would take this beautiful, detailed property any day over corporate owned resorts, if you want the true Hawaiian experience I recommend visiting Ma’ukele Lodge in Kalapana. If you are lucky enough to catch Mark on a nom work day ask him for a tour of the area, he is very knowledgeable and will share secrets of this magical place.
I agree with the previous reviews. This was the first time we’ve ever done a BNB and I was very happy with the balance of privacy and also feeling like I was visiting a relative. Raven and Mark are both super wonderful people full of aloha and care. Location was perfect for us to do all of the things we wanted to do on the eastside of the island and the weather was amazing! Definitely would book again!!
Great location.
Mark and Raven are stellar hosts.
They are caring, affectionate and knowledgeable.
Breakfasts served were delicious and healthy.
Best part is both help you feel comfortable and at home.
Great hosts, lavish fruity breakfasts, and on site musical gear and writing supplies for those bursts of artistic inspiration

If you want a mega resort with all night gatherings this isn't the place to go. But you will find a quirky relaxed setting with more than adequare sleeping accomodations, a great breakfast and freiiendly hosts in Raven and Mark. Great views and so much to do. Check out Uncles Awa Club and Band on Wednesday evenings.
This was one of thee most amazing places to stay for so many reasons the food every morning was so detailed, and tastey , the cleaniness of the home on point, chocolates every day on the pillows was sweet, Raven and Mark are everything you can imagine we will be back can't say enough of the greatness of this paradise.
