    with a relatively dry environment and windows that cannot be opened;

    When I arrived at Fujinomiya Station at night, this is the closest hostel to sta.and museum, it provided a private room with wooden flooring,but not tatami mats.The lordlady was very friendly,and she can speak English fluently,I shared the picture of Fuji mountain to her.

    The place was quite dirty, especially the communal areas. There was also no way to lock your bedroom when you leave and the front gates/doors were always unlocked so anyone could enter. However, we had no problems with anyone stealing anything.

    The guesthouse was in a good location, near the train station and the bus stop. The room was cosy and the futon beds were comfy to sleep on. The place was also easy to find and the host was nice.

    It was quite dirty. There was mould on the ceiling in the shower room and the toilet room also had mould all over. The kitchen was also dirty with lots of garbage built up that needed to be taken out. It's an old house that has been converted into a hostel and I don't think the upkeep has been well done. This might be because of the owners health though.

    It was cheap and I appreciated the private room. The aircon was a newer unit and worked really well. As long as you speak Japanese the owner was able to give good advice about the area and good recommendations.

    It wasn't the most clean hostel, so it's not for those who prefer clean rooms/bathrooms.

    The hostel is close to the Nishifujinomiya station, and we got a separate room. The host was kind.

    Scammy old lady owner and dirty house

    I booked a small tatami room, but when I arrived, the owner wanted to put me into her own private dirty room because she gave priority to another guest who hadn't even arrived yet just because the other guest was going to stay 1 night longer than me. So although I arrived first and my booking showed the tatami room photo, I wasn't served first and only got an ugly dirty room with a disgusting bed which had many stains and where so much personal garbage of hers was around! I tried to talk reason into her that this wasn't fair and if I stayed in her dirty room, she would have to obviously give me a discount since I'm not paying the same price for that as for the tatami guest room. But she refused and threw me out of the house. The whole place is old and not in a good state all in all. The kitchen looks dirty too and the rooms need to be renovated.

    Nothing

    There was an extreme amount of mould in the bathroom, especially on the ceiling, windows, and walls. Please take the time to clean this for the sake of yourself (owner) and future guests, as mould like this is known to cause serious health issues and this was genuinely the worst I have ever seen. There is also thick dust on many of the surfaces. We are travelling all around the world and have a lot of tolerance for budget accommodation - however, something that poses a serious health risk was too much and made this a very challenging stay.

    Location was good, lady running the accomodation was nice
