    Lack of daylight. That's it.

    The location is really near Gora Station. The place is charming and very calm. Exchanges with host were very easy and helpful. There are no keys only a code which works perfectly. Easy access to the railrope to climb to the summit.

    We loved this accommodation, one of our favourites during our holiday. It was cosy and comfortable, with plenty of room and had everything we needed for a family of 4. Great location, close to first stop on the cable car, which made it easier with luggage.

    Parking bay a bit far from the house more than 50 meters, difficult for big luggage

    The house was spacious, comfortable enough to cater 4 adults, good location and easy access to main attractions around Hakone / Gora

    Gora Base A was a very cozy place to stay, my friends and I really enjoyed our time there. We could tell a lot of care and thought was put into making the property as cozy and comfortable as possible. Coin Washer and dryers are available at a small cost. The heated tatami was a really good touch too.

    A lovely quiet apartment in Gora

    It is a. very small space for 4 adult people with luggage, but this was not surprising. There was no tea or coffee provided in the kitchen supplies. We didn’t use the kitchen to cook food but we would have used tea bags or coffee if it was provided.

    The location was a great base to explore Hakone. The vibe of the area is relaxed, quiet holiday style. The house is a nice mix of traditional and modern, with the option of sleeping in bunks or on tatami mats.

    It was quite pricey for what it was but I think all accommodation in Gora is quite pricey overall. Was a bit boxey for the price but as I said had everything you need and it was an overnight stay. Have made a recommendation to supply tea and coffee as most places close early and open later. Absolutely no option to get in early.

    We entered by a lock box. Instructions on how to get there and parking Instructions were all clear and easy to understand. The room was great . We were in unit 101A. Basic kitchen facilities, washer dryer etc. Very close to the station and places to eat. Walking distance to Open Air Museum. Overnight stay so it had everything you need. There are other accommodation options in this unit block ours may have been the smallest.

    Nothing really.

    What a lovely and efficient little apartment! It was really clean, and had everything we needed. Not a bad walk from the station (10 minutes), although Gora is hilly and you will get good cardio exercise! We really appreciated having the laundry facilities (as well as detergent)!

    Great Japanese House near Gora Station.

    Two things suprised me - while not major, are disappointing. First, given the price point, I was most surprised to have to pay extra for the washing machine. I was paying for a full apartment/house, so why charge more for the facilities within it? First time I haver ever had to pay extra for the washing machine. Two nights later we stayed at a similiar type of place. It cost half as much, and it did not cost extra to use the washing machine. Second, I thought the check-in/out times were not the best. 3pm in, out by 10am, with no flexbility. Contrast this with the place we stayed the following night with a 2pm check-in and 11am check-out, which is much more common.

    Classic Japanese house - spotlessly clean and comfortable. Referring to some previous reviews, the location was perfect. Yes, it was a slight walk up hill from the station, but you don't expect everything to be flat when going to the mountains, right? This was a great property, a short walk from the station.

    The location is bad, the parking was very hard to find,maybe because we checked in late and its dark already.You really have to watch the video from the link that they will send you and use that to find the parking and the bnb ,I’ts also a 5 minutes uphill walk from the parking to the bnb on a rugged terrain so be prepared if you have a lot of things with you.

    Nice interior design is nice the lay out of the for us we are a group of 3 adults 1 toddler and 1 infant.

    The parking is very difficult to find and to carry the luggage through the steep slope to the place is an absolute nightmare. The tatami area was very dirty, seems like there was no cleaning here.

    It is still considered comfortable for a family of 4.

    The place is beside the cable car station/gora station which is on a steep slope which was 45 degrees steep. The accommodation is on a dirt path which is not luggage friendly. There were not many food places open in the evening and they close very early. There was only one sink for washing dishes and brushing teeth.

    Location is a short walk to Gora Train Station. Comfortable space with dining area and a sleeping area

    The complaint might look terrible, but we have a great time experiencing many fun hardship there.

    The location is far from the train station, and the walking path is unfriendly for trolley bag. The path to the room is uphill and in the private area which need to keep quiet. The neighbors on the upper floor (I assume) smoked in front of our room. We smelled the cigaratte every time we opened the door to go out. The coin-operated washer and dryer are hard to use and no English manual. The futon for guest was not washed, and lastly the shop in the area closed pretty quick, in cluding the restaurant.

    We don't need to carry the key, the room is unlocked by the code. We can save the code on the phone's note which is pretty convenient.
