Joan's place is beautiful and close to Volcano National Park. Unfortunately, my stay with Joan started off with an exceptionally negative experience. When requesting a same day reservation, I asked Joan about the strength of the wifi because my partner needed to teach a class online that evening. Joan immediately approved the reservation, confirm that the wifi was strong, and said I needed to change the reservation to 2 people. I didn't realize I had reserved for only 1 person and went to change it. That change caused a $200 increase on a 3 day reservation. Realizing the mistake, I asked Joan to cancel the reservation (this was all within 5 minutes of requesting the initial booking). She refused to do so, shamed me for making the mistake, and insisted that I had to change the reservation. Since she had already approved the booking (it wasn't automatic), we were effectively entrapped. Either we had to cancel ourselves, and pay $140 to cancel (again, this was all within minutes of booking), or pay the extra $200 to stay. I eventually changed it to 2 nights for 2 people to try and limit my increased costs as much as possible. While the actual guesthouse was very great, the WIFI dropped frequently. We were also awoken very early on our first morning to the sound of someone cursing loudly at a dog right outside our window. If you realize to book for 2 people from the outset and don't worry about wifi, you should be fine. It is a lovely guesthouse with a fantastic location. Just be warned that the host is a less than gracious and leaves no room for mistakes.
