What I like about staying at Hakone-GORA Base A is that it has everything we need. It has a small kitchen, laundry area and tatami area. Easy to make milk at night because the kitchen is just outside the bedroom. The only thing I don't like is that parking is tricky to find. You have to walk from public parking going to the location. It is little uphill, not a luggage and stroller friendly. Careful when walking at night it is dark and may step on small rocks. Our twins fell asleep in the car we have to carry them (uphill) and I almost fell.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

NIL.

A unit on its own. Owner/ staff very responsive. Clean and well equipped with kitchen equipment. There is also a dining area that seats 4 person comfortably in case you prefer to cook your own meals.

It’s up on a slope so I would recommend you travel light.

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.

Lack of daylight. That's it.

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.

Good location, quiet, nice and compact.

We have the first floor room. The floor noise from upstairs is loud while walking. We knew the house is a redecorated old house. But it is not a big concern for choosing this accommodation.

We loved the heated tatami floors. The bedding was very comfortable and clean.

It would have been nice if the washer and dryer machine was complimentary.
