"Pros: Highly recommended! Nori is an amazing host, super friendly and always willing to offer help (even if you don't ask for it). The place is super cozy and well equipped. I'd definitely choose hachihachi again without hesitation :)" ~Marc

"Pros: Liked the use of the living room; the bedroom was rather small and there was nowhere to sit. There was no specific breakfast menu, but the host did ask about our dietary requirements. She also provided ginger tea to help with my sore throat and cough. Breakfast dishes served over 2 days were creative and interesting. There were elements of surprise. Food and drinks were served in beautiful ceramic and porcelain dishes. The host proudly declared they are of the best quality. Cons: The bedroom was rather dark with no external windows and the lighting was inadequate. The locations of the toilet and bathroom were inconvenient: not at all close to the bedroom. The towels were small and thin unlike fluffy and large ones provided in accommodation places of similar price bracket. The host was friendly and keen to give helpful advice but regrettably was also liberal in providing unsolicited advice. This lodging did not provide dinner and, although I knew this when booking I found it was inconvenient to have to go to a café (around 10 minute walk on a cold night) where the meals were of average quality. As for value for money I would give it 7 out of 10. This lodging does not compare favourably to a temple lodging (which charged 20% extra) and where elaborate breakfast and dinner were provided." ~Heng-wie

"Pros: Quietness Cons: Takes awhile for room to warm up." ~Maria
