Hakone Guesthouse Toi

Di B&B kecil di gunung ini banyak terdapat perlengkapan mandi dan alat pengeriting rambut, tatami sangat bersih, namun ruangan agak dingin saat saya tidur malam. Sangat menyenangkan memiliki sumber air panas untuk mandi.

Hotelnya sangat bagus. Bosnya baik sekali dan pelayanannya sangat baik. Dia bisa berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Cina dan Inggris dengan baik. Dia juga punya anjing yang sangat lucu. Kebanyakan orang yang tinggal di sini adalah orang asing :)

Menginap di B&B selalu merupakan tawaran yang murah, tetapi ada beberapa hal tentang B&B ini yang kurang memuaskan. 1. Lokasi relatif terpencil, di tengah kota/spot film besar, walaupun hanya membutuhkan waktu 2-3 menit jalan kaki untuk mencapai bus, namun dibutuhkan waktu setengah jam atau lebih untuk berkendara ke kota atau mengunjungi danau . 2. Kamar mandi dan toilet dipakai bersama oleh beberapa orang, hanya dibersihkan satu kali dalam sehari, ventilasi toilet kurang baik, kondisi sanitasi sangat buruk, untuk sumber air panasnya sebaiknya diabaikan. 3. Kamar ada AC dan pemanasnya. Kalau kurang hangat bisa ditambah pemanas. Tidak ada yang istimewa untuk dikatakan tentang hal lain. 4. Pemilik B&B dan anjingnya sangat ramah dan antusias, namun terkadang mereka tidak ada dan harus menunggu bantuan. Kesimpulannya, B&B ini lebih cocok untuk backpacker, tapi tidak cocok untuk wisatawan yang menginap di hotel.

Cocok untuk perjalanan hemat, haha

The location was about a km away from Kowakidani Sta. Not really far but the recommended path by Google Maps (at least to me) was along the mountain highway. It was rainy and i was walking alone at night. I sometimes pass by vehicles on the road 🥲 I was late for checkin (past 22:00) so I had my Japanese friend call the hostel. They said it's okay to come until 23:00 as the hostel cafe is also open until then. The bedspace in the mixed dorm was spacious enough and the ladder for the upper beds was sturdy. *The restroom in the main hostel is better maintained than the one in the annex. The hostel restaurant is very nice and they let me stay for a bit after checkout as the rain was pouring that day. The owner's dog is named Rum 🥹

Cozy little hut with onsen! Located upslope, difficult to manage travel time as the last bus end pretty early. Without a hakone pass each bus ride can cost 600-700 yen. First night was great. 2nd night was disruptive with loud snores from another travellers🥺 There should be a weight limit on those sleeping in the upper bunk too. Good for 2 days short trip in Hakone

Own onsen, cute dog, but very poor conditions regarding cleanliness. The poorest so far in Japan (been here for a month).

Super cute guesthouse tucked away in a quaint mountain neighborhood of Hakone. This adorable and clean home has bright and lively shared spaces, where you will find happy guests chatting away in the cafe/bar. The hosts are around 24/7 if you need anything and at the cafe or close by all day. They are super friendly and ready to help with your needs. This place is really designed like a shared home and feels cozy and welcoming! The location is really convenient with a small shrine, little shops, bus stops, 7/11, and train station 5-7 min walk away but be sure you know which direction you want to go… the roads branch off like a tree (you can check directions with the hosts first). Loved Rum (host dog) and loved my stay!

The host was really helpful alongside his assistant Rum the Dog - so friendly. Loved the Onsen, really appreciate the service rendered me during my stay. The host showed great knowledge of attractions and discounts - a definite must stay and will return very soon.
