Lovely tropical B&B
We stayed in the Dolphin room; a convenient and clean room with outdoor shower. When showering in the evening you can see a sky with stars. Dragonfly ranch is an unique place with a nice, even spiritual, vibe. The staff is very welcoming. For the light sleepers; the frogs are really loud. One of us used earplugs which were provided. Breakfast was tasty. Overall we would recommend this lovely place.

it felt like visiting friends
the Dragonfly Ranch is an awesome place, well decorated in alternative style, and very clean. I personally clicked very well with the people working there. They serve dinner and breakfast straight from the organic garden and have great cooks. The bed sheets are smooth and comfortable and one of the best snorkeling bays of the big island (two steps) is about a mile away. They also have snorkeling gear. It still feels like i made friends with the people working there. RECOMMENDED

It look like Youth Hostel! Small room. From the parking to the Dragonfly is the steepest walk! Not for wheelchairs! My room above the kitchen. Noisy. My friend wanted to wash her hair. No hot water!!! The breakfast room was was dirty! Food was good! Fresh fruits.

With large suites open, I think I suggested taking one of the better rooms which Sahara did not choose to do. I'm sorry her friend didn't let us know she couldn't get hot water as we have solar panals with an override system that we leave on. But some people don't know which way to turn the water handle and that sometimes waiting as much as three minutes is required. Our new dynamite house cleaner just informed me she is on the case to make sure every nook and cranny and corner of our place is thoroughly clean. Quite frankly, I really don't recommend the Dolphin Room for those people who are looking for luxury and privacy – – that is the reason it is so inexpensive. I'm sorry Sahara' experience here was unlike that of most guest's who love the unique jungle beauty. When I heard Sahara having trouble breathing after walking up the drive, I almost offered my asthma medicine, but I know that I'm legally not supposed to do that. If I had known about her condition, I would've offered to let her drive up or insisted she take the Writer Studio, which is at the bottom of the hill. It is for sure steep for anyone who isn't in used to that kind of exercise!I'm glad that Sahara liked the breakfast which our master chef does his best to make spectacular. He begins making breakfast at 6:00 in the kitchen--which is located next to that small room. Please beware that the Dolphin Room is unavoidably noisy.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to respond to Brenda because I do not know what it is that she did not like about what we offer. On our website, we do say that it is not for everyone. It is especially for adventurous travelers who love nature, want to be around friendly people, and are wanting to avoid the hotel experience.

If you love kind and caring people and enjoy nature and a casual family-like environment, you will enjoy staying at the beautiful Dragonfly Ranch. You will be immersed in the beautiful scents of tropical plants and flowers and enjoy a symphony of birds and nocturnal frogs and insects from your cozy eclectic screened in suite. I had a wonderful time staying at this unique and peaceful place. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Dragonfly ranch. The owner, Barbara, was very engaging and helpful to find our way around the area. We had the option to stick to ourselves whenever we wanted, but also had great conversations with all the staff. Very delightful people. The bed was very comfortable and the room quiet. I highly recommend giving this gem of a place a try. We know we'll be back there for a stay next time we visit the Big Island.

Expensive for what you get. Camping with a roof. Dolphin room closes with only a small latch for security. Random door that leads to another room and locks from the otherside. Outdoor shower and bathroom. Breakfast was great. Cheaper than a resort but not worth the savings.

I thank this gentleman for letting others know that we have a laid-back life style at the Dragonfly Ranch. The Dolphin Room that is our the least expensive unit has an outdoor bathroom that some people love and others do not. If you do not want an outdoor bathroom, we have suites with inside toilets and outdoor showers that are private. None of our places need to be seriously locked because we're always here looking after peoples belongings. Nothing has been stolen. I would say that we are "luxuriously rustic." the "random"door mentioned locks from the dolphin room side.If you would rather have a hotel room with small windows and serious locks on the doors, it's better not to come to the Dragonfy Ranch. We welcome adventurous guests.

Thought we'd try something a bit different.
Its a little more basic than we thought it would be. The bathroom was clean but basic. Dragonfly Ranch is in the jungle - bring mosquito spray. We had a big arse spider in the bathroom - none of us dare go past him to take a shower. A simple breakfast was provided: coffee, cereal with nuts and fruit and toast.

Phenomenal Stay
From the moment my boyfriend and I checked in we were treated so amazingly. We were even given a choice to upgrade ( which we kindly declined). Our room was cozy... the bed was like a cloud.We watched a beautiful sunset after driving around the island. In the morning we woke up to coffee and a lavish breakfast that only happens here at Dragonfly retreat. For those who expecting a hotel type stay think again. This is an outdoor adventure to be explored and appreciated. We loved it and will return every chance we get. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work.

Dragonfly Ranch - One of the best!
Dragonfly Ranch is a great place to stay, with awesome staff, and the owner (Barbara) enjoys getting to know the guests with a wealth of knowledge for what to do and great places for food and other experiences. Each morning breakfast is provided with fresh fruits (some from the ranch), nuts, seeds, healthy grains and more to start the day on Big Island. The Captain Cook area of Big Island is a wonderful area to stay where Dragonfly Ranch is located.

This is nothing like a hotel or B&B you would normally stay in. It is an eclectic experience more akin to crashing at a friend's place because you need a place to stay. In fact, many of the friendly staff seem to be doing just that. If you like a very different experience, this may be the place for you. First off, the doors to the rooms are not secure. They have only simple latches, so if you leave the property, you will want to bring all your valuables. There are no glass windows, just screens, and obviously no A/C, which can be a problem when it gets hot. They have fans, some good and some not. The beds seem to be clean but don't look too close into the corners or closets. Most showers are outside of the rooms, protected by sliding curtains. Cobwebs are ever-present as well. This place was apparently once a yoga studio and wellness retreat and still has many of the same facilities for those functions, including lots of books and healing oils around. The breakfast is a healthy affair with fresh cooked grains like quinois, and fresh fruit as well. The nut butters and jams for toast come from a collection that has been used by many people for a long time. They come out of the fridge on a tray that has been holding them all for quite a while. The place is filled with all kinds of interesting art and objects, but some, like the collection of musical instruments in the main "lobby" are covered with cobwebs. This place could be great with a major overhaul and deep cleaning.

It's good that my new team took all of these criticisms to Heart and have thoroughly cleaned and rejuvenated the Dragonfly. I'm glad that this gentleman liked our organic breakfast and I'm glad I could put him in a room that had a good fan because I know he was Expecting to have air-conditioning. We do have portable air conditioners upon request. But if you do want a hotel, like experience with windows and locks, this is not the place. What we do have is lots of love and good fun.

Unusual but Pleasant
The location was not what I expected. There are no locking doors, so if you want to leave anything in your room while you are away, you can not lock it. You can latch the screen door from the inside. The bathroom for the room I stayed in was not completely private. It was essentially on the outside porch and screened in by bamboo blinds. The location is staffed primarily by college age adults that were pleasant and helpful. It was a more natural setting than most lodging places. If asked if I would stay there again, I most likely would say yes.

Not a 3 star hotel! Haha
We arrived and somehow in booking with hotels.com it changed 6 people to 2 people. So we had to pay $120 extra dollars to stay all in 1 room, which had lizards and the biggest bugs ever inside. We paid $456 for 1 night and most definitely not worth it! Also don’t stay here if you’re allergic to cats! A cat kept coming into our room all night through the outdoor shower which is completely open to the room. Pictures are better than in person.

Great Get Away from the Noise Stay
Dragonfly ranch is incredible. Staying here is like staying in a tree house mansion. The staff was incredible and Barbara was so nice. The place is an artistic marvel. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for a resort. But if you’re looking to get away from all the hustle and bustle and enjoy the Big Island, you can’t find better.

I have travelled throughout much of the world and the Dragonfly Ranch is one of the most unique places I have visited. The setting in the heavy tropical rainforest is wonderful! It’s such and peaceful and soul nourishing location. The room itself has three beds and plenty of seating. This is truly a place in which you can unwind and relax.

Loved the sounds of nature through the night, great vegan breakfast options and a fantastic view from the dining area. The only downsides were that local shops close really early if you are trying to pick up food if arriving after 8pm and we were woken by someone (possibly staff) having a long, loud telephone conversation at 4am. Our bathroom was semi outdoors and the bed was pretty lumpy. Not for those looking for luxury but it suited us fine for our short stay.

This was our favorite place we stayed at over our two-week stay in Hawaii. My seven year old said “Good job finding this place, Mama!” Barbara told us she has run Dragonfly ranch for 47 years! And she has clearly been pouring live and presence into the place all that time. It’s probably not for everyone—if you’re a Hilton resort kind of person or don’t like to be close to nature, skip this. But if you swoon over private outdoor showers and a score of Big Island night sounds serenading your sleep, you’ll love it here. Breakfast is wholesome and comes with an incredible view. The sunsets are amazing, too. It’s like living in a retreat center. The charm and loving vibe are through the roof. This place is special, absolutely one of a kind. I wish we’d stayed much longer. It would be easy to make this a home base and travel all over the island while staying at the Dragonfly. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for unique experience in lush green jungles for relax and reflections, this B&B may be just the place. We arrived at the place later and missed the somewhat secluded entrance. The place doesn’t have all the amenities of a hotel, but the view and the sound were very rewarding. The room has a screen door, so that it offers fragrance of the jungle and a symphony played by bugs, frogs, birds day and night, and joined in by roosters in early morning. As you stayed longer, the “symphony” faded into a background music and you became less aware of its existence. The batch is also open to air - a 7’ bamboo screen and a roof provides privacy and partial protection from weather. There are two geckos taking the place behind the bathroom mirror as their home. If you turn on the bathroom light at the night, they would come out - not to welcome you, but to catch a few bugs attracted by the light for their dinner! When you enjoy your breakfast prepared with healthy ingredients and fruits, you would meet the company of two cute small dogs (Makana and Lonali) and a Siamese cat (Azure ), who was very attached to you. This is a germ hidden in the jungle if you are looking for staying close to nature but with all the comforts nowadays.

Our family of 4 loved the Dragonfly Ranch! We stayed in the Writers Studio and were very comfortable. We loved the openness of the room with the sounds of the jungle day and night! The breakfasts were incredible with different grains each morning with endless toppings along with toast and every kind of jelly you can think of! And the views to eat your meal was unforgettable. The Kona coffee was amazing, grown a mile away and handpicked for perfect ripeness, Barbara the owner of Dragonfly contacted the coffee grower so we could go pick up a precious pound to take home. Every single staff member was all very friendly and helpful and the environment was very relaxed. We loved walking the grounds seeing the farm animals, gardens and the Illuminarium for doing yoga, meditation or just sipping coffee looking over the beautiful Pacific. The location was excellent with Two-Step a couple miles away and great snorkeling. We also visited Pebble Beach and Hookana beach nearby. Black Rock Pizza in Captain Cook is the bomb with tasty Hoi Boi pizza and passion fruit Mai Tais! The geckos were a treat to see and interact with (they liked licking our plate which is a no-no:). Yes it’s a jungle so expect critters but overall the place is clean. We felt like we were staying with family, even Azure the Siamese cat stayed with us nearly the whole time (my teenager loved!) We will be back! Thank you Barbara!

Lovely unconventional close to nature place
This was an absolutely amazing place to stay. Easy to get to, it feels like you are in the middle of the tropical forest with the frogs singing at night. The dragonfly ranch isn't your typical hotel. The room was comfortable and cool with lots of shade from the surrounding trees. Lots of screen windows and doors, making the whole experience close to the surrounding nature. Breakfast included a selection of exotic jams from a nearby farm that were fun to experiment with. While my family loved it, this is definitely an unconventional place, so I could imagine some people might not like it. Here are some things you might find strange. - The room didn't lock, with just a screen door. - The bathroom just had a curtain and mosquito screen as a door. - The shower wasn't tiles, but had a stone floor. - One of the hotel's cats kept sneaking into the room through the showers.

The koki frogs where loud but where else would you get an experience like that! They serve the most amazing breakfast. The staff goes above and beyond for you. You are almost walking distance to one of the best snorkel spots on the island. Best of all.if you need help physically they offerer healing modalities! Love love and will be nack again.
