Systems and methods for virtual machine based huge page balloon support are provided. A guest operating system (OS) receives a request from a hypervisor for guest memory to be made available to a host operating system (OS). The guest OS further receives a huge page size of a host page and a quantity of requested guest memory. The guest OS then allocates unused guest memory and transmits at least one address of the allocated guest memory to the hypervisor, where the allocated guest memory is a contiguous block of memory that is at least the size of the huge page size and aligned to the size of the huge page size.
