Hakonowa Hot Spring Inn Reviews

Super cute little homestay. Perfect for couples. We will come here again next year !

Very nice B&B! Very clean, the hot spring water is smooth. There are only three rooms, so it is always quiet. Suitable for enjoying it slowly without rushing! It is about a 10-minute walk from Hakone Yumoto, and it is very convenient to go out for dinner. Highly recommended!

Self-service check-in. No one checked in when I arrived at midnight. I had to enter a password. There was no email and I couldn't make a phone call. Fortunately, a Japanese friend helped me contact him. The room does not have a bathroom. There are 2 public toilets and one bathroom for 3 rooms. Don't choose if you can't accept it. The room door only has a rotating lock, which is quite simple. There is a river next to it, and there is some white noise. It sounds like heavy rain in the middle of the night. It is a bit far from Hakone Yumoto, and it is very difficult to find. It is very hidden. All the food is in the room. I took it to the oven to heat it in the morning. The pumpkin soup is very fragrant. I don't know how it is made. . The bread is average, and the coffee is average. Finally, the room is very Japanese and very beautiful, with green leaves and distant mountains, suitable for taking pictures.

B&B, the location is a bit hard to find! I met an enthusiastic Japanese grandma who took me to find it. The room was very small and there was no private bathroom. You need to make a reservation to use the hot spring. It is a private hot spring. I was very satisfied with this. Check-in is self-service!

Excellent value for money! The Japanese-style room design is beautiful, the tatami is so comfortable, the view outside the window is beautiful, the hot springs are free to soak in, and the environment is good, except for the poor sound insulation. 

It was a self-check-in/self-check-out system without any permanent staff. Nothing could be done with the reservation number (11 digits) sent by Trip.com, and the hotel said that a registration link was sent by email in advance, and guests had to enter/register in advance to receive a QR code and a 6-digit reservation number that could be registered in the hotel system. They say they will accept it and check in. The hotel said they sent a link to ******* message, but I didn't receive a direct email and received nothing from Trip.com other than an 11-digit reservation number, so I had a hard time checking in.

The staff I was nice . But the room is too small that we don’t even have place to put our luggage

there are no any bathrooms or toilets in the room, need to walk out of the room and have showers downstairs, so inconvenient

This is one of the best private onsen, traditional Japanese hotel that you can try in the hakone area. I almost don’t want to leave a great review because I want to be able to book it again. Super clean. The breakfast provided was delicious. And the star of the show is the private onsen that can be booked once you’re on the property. I wish we stayed longer. Beautiful accommodations!!

Great stay for solo traveler one night! Such a cute boutique accommodation. Know that it’s a shared toilet and shower (at the onsen on bottom floor) but this was fine for one or two nights. I wish I had time to try the restaurant Buger Box! The ladies working the restaurant were very friendly with great English.

This ryokan made us wish that we stayed an extra day in Hakone. The ryokan was a perfect place to get home to after you do a tour of the many sights of Hakone. Though the ryokan was provided with modern utilities, it has retained the authentic Japanese charm, even when it offers a very good burger restaurant. The Onsen was perfect. We actually got lost while trying to look for it, but it was a great sigh of relief when we got to one of the most charming places we’ve seen.

The Hakonawa guest is beautifully situated in the hills of Hakone. Tucked a short walk away from the main street, you cross two beautiful bridges and are taken into a beautifully peaceful corner. The staff are very helpful and kind. The rooms are perfectly clean, and for those that havnt stayed in a guest house or ryokan, this is a great introduction! The onsen is shared between the guests by a booking system that ensures everyone gets the chance to enjoy, a definite must try. Lastly the breakfast, that you find in your room upon arrival and is topped up daily, is amazing. There is a self service area for you convenience that has everything you will need. We really enjoyed our stay here thanks to the care and attention from the wonderful team

What a lovely place to stay, very clean and comfortable and not too difficult to find. Especially enjoyed the breakfast.

Best Hotel and best Burger ❤️
