Host was very friendly. Countryside nearby was very pretty. Building was safe and charming. Doors creak a bit when you open them. I especially liked the individual night lights for each bed.

Bellscabin...just an average backpacker place
I take all the blame for this - I looked at the pictures and read the reviews and looked at it's really high rating, but although I don't think it is a BAD place it does seem very over-rated. It's a bit away from the main action in Karuizawa, and in winter it may be the cosiest hide-away ever, but in mid-March (2016) I found it too isolated with no real benefit for my own tastes. It says it's a cafe but only appears to do breakfast (pre-ordered), so if you arrive on a cool afternoon wanting a coffee and snack you may be disappointed. Our room costs the same as a budget room in Tokyo, but we has to make up our own beds, rent towels and share bathroom and toilet facilities. My friend sleep poorly due to the sound of thumping feet on the floorboards outside our room, and the sound of people vomiting in the early hours. We has to walk a couple kms into the town for our evening meal which was a cool but pleasant walk. This place is "OK" at best - and I don't understand why it is so highly rated, it didn't have any 'awesome atmosphere' to make up for its lack of creature comforts. If I return to Karuizawa I'll seek out a soulless hotel in the main town where I can spread out a bit more, sleep a bit more, get a meal and have my own toilet.

Nice cozy stay for Nakasendo Travellers!
It was quite good considering the town was quite small. The host was super helpful! Would book again if I am ever in that area :)

マラソン大会の前泊で泊まりました。そういった場面だと、賑やかになって普段と全く違う雰囲気になる宿もありますが、ここは落ち着いて自分のペースで過ごすことができました。他のお客さんも同じ気持ちだと思います。 夕方のお風呂から、朝のテラスで、と軽井沢の避暑地らしい空気感も味わえます。 ちょっとした忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、色々助けていただき、とても助かりました。また泊まって、今度は近くをゆっくり歩いてみたいです。

オーナーご夫婦がすごく素敵な方で連泊しました♪ 軽井沢の別荘地にあって自然に囲まれた素敵なところだけど、ハルニレテラスなどにも徒歩20分程度でいけて、自転車が500円で借りれるので、1人旅だけど色々まわれて良かったです。 すぐ近くにあるお寺も雰囲気よく、気が良い。 お風呂もいつでも入れるようになっており、常時飲み物のサービスもあり、夜はコーヒーも無料で飲み放題。最高の滞在でした、感謝!
