  Comments: I had a great time staying at Tomoko's! She is wonderful and gave me a warm welcome. Great communication. The place is really neat and the location is THE BEST you could find in Honolulu, close to everything in Waikiki. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! :-)

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: Tomoko was very accomodating and allowed me to have flexible checkout times that were convenient for my flight times. Thank you!

• Reviewer: Frances

  Comments: Tomoko is a really friendly, welcoming host who was kind enough to accept my last-minute reservations when my plans with another Airbnb listing fell through. Even though she is extremely busy, she is lightning fast in responding to messages. The apartment itself is centrally located, with Waikiki shops just a short walk away and a bus stop right around the corner.

  Comments: I loved staying at Tomoko's House. The room was great with fresh sheets and towels. The place was clean and I got to meet interesting women from around the world. The location was amazing! In the middle of Waikiki I was 4 blocks from the beach. It was also close to 2 ABC stores, 24 hour Denny's and Ihop and groceries. We got to go salsa dancing which was a blast! Also, the bus is easy to catch from there, and there is a ton of shopping nearby. Tomoko was a great host!

  Comments: Tomoko was very welcoming and patiente ! thanks a lot for that. The place was a share room. I was with a Japanese girl who was nice :) It's a small place but confortable. Tomoko knows how to feel you good.

• Reviewer: Cherry

  Comments: "FEMALE shared room" is what caught my eye for this post! Also, the location was perfect. If you want to stay within walking distance of the beach, contact Miss Tomoko! She will take great care of you :) Super friendly and welcoming too!

• Reviewer: Rosie

  Comments: The location of the flat is extremely convenient, with 5 mins' walk to Waikiki beach and Kalakala avenue. I got a separate room which is very sweet. and all the other tenants are so friendly. Three of us shared a bathroom but there was no problem sharing it. Tomoko was very accommodating, always replying my message speedily. I've a couple of itinerary changes before arrival and she was very patient to deal with my questions. She also provided two big towels for me to use which is very sweet. Though the overall cleanness can be improved, this was a great stay within my budget and I will choose to stay in Tomoko's apartment again if I go to Hawaii next time.

  Comments: Tomoko is the best! She was really helpful and makes you feel at home! Roommates are all chill and laid back! And everything is walking distance! It was amazing defiantly coming back and staying there again!

• Reviewer: Ivy

  Comments: Location, location, location! This room is centrally located in Wakiki! Total walk-ability (if you don't plan on renting a car) and near buses/Ubers/taxis that can get you all over Honolulu. The host Tomoko, was extremely kind and welcoming! This is a room share so I would recommend to travelers who only need a place to sleep and shower. However I will say that the cleanliness left much to be desired. I did see quite a few roaches during my stay; which would be my only real complaint. If you just need a place to sleep and shower then you can't beat this deal in terms of location and price!

• Reviewer: Raquel

  Comments: I've never me Tomoko in person. She's very rude, asking for more side cash before I even check in. I told her I might be bringing my daughter to sleep over, and she started asking for more money and very unprofessional. She did not let me check in but she charged me for the two nights plus cleaning deposit which I never used or never make it at her tiny place since she won't let me with my daughter. I filed a report to Airbnb and told them to review all her texted that she sent to me and they found that it was very rude , unprofessional , inhumanity message. Worst worst host ever! It's all about the money for her. Makes my stomach upset

• Reviewer: Vanessa

  Comments: Tomoko is a nice host. My flight was delayed for couple hours on arrival date and changed several times. Tomoko was patient and flexible to adjust check-in time for me. The best of this place is the location, in central of Waikiki area and nearby many bus stations. The space is clean but no air condition. It is good option if you want to find a place with reasonable price to stay in Waikiki.

• Reviewer: Ali

  Comments: The place was simple but equipped with everything one may need (even with a surf board!). I stayed 11 daya and had a really good time and place's location (in the middle of waikiki) helped this a lot.. I can not say anything negative about the place. I got what I was promised.

• Reviewer: Sunny

  Comments: very convenient location, close to shopping, restaurant, beaches and bus stops. Tomoko is very nice and always smiles and you will love her two year old (Website hidden by Airbnb) cute...

• Reviewer: Celena

  Comments: I stayed in Hawaii for 3 weeks with Tomoko as my host, and it was the ideal experience for me. She greeted me with a hug upon arrival, gave me a key, explained a few rules about using your own toilet paper and dusting sand off outside, and that was it. I had 1-3 roomies (all of them from different countries like Japan, China, Taiwan, and Brazil) at any given time as people shipped in and out, and this is one way I made friends during my stay. :) Everyone was respectful and friendly, always saying "hello" if not having a full-out chat session. For a highly reasonable price per day, I had a sectioned-off, semi-private space with a bed, a window, shelving, bath and beach towels, a small closet space (which was more than I needed), access to a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower, washers and dryers downstairs (costs $1.25 in quarters), and even snorkel gear left behind by previous guests. I was a 10-minute stroll from the grocery store (Food Pantry), a less-than-10-minute stroll from Waikiki Beach, and a 15-minute jog from Ala Moana Beach Park. Altogether, it was a wonderful, chill "temporary home life." If you don't mind sharing a small apartment, if you are open to intercultural experiences, and if you abhor spending so much money on hotels and want to stay in Hawaii longer, this is for you. ;) Aloha!

• Reviewer: Hiroko

  Comments: Really enjoyed the stay at Tomoko's place! Tomoko is a very friendly host, whom you can reach out for if you have any questions. She has all the basic stuff needed for your stay which can be much appreciated especially with this cost. Great access to main part of Waikiki so you can walk to just about anywhere. And I enjoyed the conversation with other girls in the house too:) Next time, I'd definitely come to Tomoko's place for a longer vacation. ﾜｲｷｷに住んでいるかのように過ごせる場所です｡日本語で対応してくれるので､日本の方も安心してｽﾃｲできると思います｡

• Reviewer: Kalash

  Comments: Tomoko was pleasant and the space seemed as pictured. I was looking for a place at a reasonably cheap price *honestly* also reasonably clean/ethically exterminated. I did rent for a reasonable inexpensive price, with Tomoko, which helped keep travel cost low in Waikiki, while travelling solo. So here is honesty, while I was there for 2 weeks; I experienced a considerable amount of roaches, bathroom mold, and poor air circulation and barely bearable heat. Also, I was falsely accused of smoking "weed". Because of the poor air circulation and uncomfortable night sweats for the first four days of my vacation, I became extremely sick for 3-days of my trip. I stayed in for a day to get better with cold meds and Gay Hulu, when that's when she started text harassing me with the weed accusation. She apologized, which was gratifying, but it was still a pointless frustration, as I was super sick and in no way in the mood to feel the harassment and insecurity of my stay in that dump *seriously, I hate to say that about a roof over my head, but really there were curtains up, as space/bed dividers*. Don't get me wrong, I think Tomoko is a great person. I just feel that there could be better management. Like, maybe, a) having cleaners come in once a week to clean the apartments; since there is such high traffic with people moving in and out. b) Labelling and dating food/throwing out/composing old food *there was smell* c) deep cleaning the bathrooms/curtains once a month d) and PLEASE have some form of air circulation; a FAN... was so helpful once received. Finally, I will say, my first week I met some of the most fantastic ladies who would will be my friends forever and I would have never had that experience if I had not rented space with Tomoko. Maholo! Aloha!

  Comments: Place was exactly as described. Close to everything in wakiki. Other roommates were super nice. Tomoko was very nice. Mahalo

• Reviewer: Elitza

  Comments: I had a great stay in Waikiki with Tomoko. The location is near shops and beach. The bed was comfy, I had my own space and best of all there was great wifi. I was travelling by myself and felt safe. Tomoko is also very good to communicate before and during your stay and I had no problems at arrival and/or check out.

  Comments: ﾜｲｷｷ中心部やﾊﾞｽ停なども近くとても便利でした｡ お部屋もきちんと仕切りがあり､ある程度ﾌﾟﾗｲﾍﾞｰﾄな空間があるので過ごしやすかったです｡ ともこさんとは鍵の引き渡しのときのみお会いしましたが､とても気さくな方で話しやすかったです^^

• Reviewer: Alina

  Comments: Tomoko was very welcoming into her place. She was very sweet and kind. Honestly, there's nothing that could have been improved. She even let me keep my suitcase at her place until my flight at 11pm so I wouldn't have to lug it around Hawaii.

• Reviewer: Eduardo

  Comments: awesome place!!

• Reviewer: Letty

  Comments: This place is rather old, as Tomoko rents many apartments (10?) for her business. The price is good, if you don't mind the luxury and hot sweaty rooms. Tomoko has a tendency to make you book the rooms, even though she rents so many apartments with so many beds

  Comments: ｺｽﾊﾟ高いです｡便利です｡ﾊﾜｲの昔からあるｺﾝﾄﾞでのｼｧｱﾊｳｽ体験､楽しかったです｡英語での他の方のｺﾒﾝﾄに清潔さについての指摘があり､そのことも踏まえて入室しましたが､ﾊﾞｽﾙｰﾑの衛生状態に指摘のような問題がまだありましたので清潔好きな方は要注意です｡ﾍﾞｯﾄﾙｰﾑの衛生状態は極めて良かったです｡私の滞在時(月曜日)には薄い壁隔てた隣のﾘﾋﾞﾝｸﾞで深夜から3時まで5人で酒盛りが行われており､耳栓してましたが嬌声に寝られず､深夜過ぎてるので声を落としてくれ､と注意しました｡悪い人ではなくお酒が入ってただけなのでその後声を落とすように努力はして下さいましたが狭い空間の中なので､5人で酒盛りとなると他のｹﾞｽﾄには影響があるので､今後ｽﾃｲを考えておられる方はそこもちょっと参考ください｡英語話者で楽しいお酒ではあったようです｡

  Comments: ともこさんはﾌﾚﾝﾄﾞﾘｰでとても気さくな方でした｡部屋も相部屋でしたが気になりませんでした｡ｼｪｱﾊｳｽなので夜にﾀﾞｲﾆﾝｸﾞで楽しむ人もいるので､寝たい人は耳栓必要です｡清潔感は女子にはきになる人もいるかもしれませんが､なによりも立地の良さとｺｽﾊﾟから､断然星5つです!

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: Just as posted, small room in central location. Clean, quiet, and very conveniently located to Waikiki beach. No issues with self check-in, pretty straight forward. Very small room with individual bed but slept well. No complaints. Would stay again if on a budget.

• Reviewer: Adam

  Comments: Super cost performance!!! Even though the kitchen and bathroom are a shared space with others, was impressed with the hotel level cleanliness, especially the bathroom. Location is also super convenient, close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. It’s a good base to meet up with tours that start from nearby much more expensive hotels. I didn’t understand until I got there, but “White” designates the room within the apartment. As stated in the ad, “White” is quite small, there’s a twin bed, a small space next it, a book shelf, a power outlet and a bar with hangers for clothes. The windows are not sound proof, they are light slats that can be open and closed. On Friday and Saturday night, could hear people coming back from the bars late at night, ear plugs recommended for light sleepers. I stayed in January, so the temperature at night is comfortable, summer months might get hot at night. Overall 5 stars! Would stay again!

• Reviewer: Claire

  Comments: Tomoko's house was clean and well equipped in the communal areas. The room is small (as per the description) but light and airy. Although the louvres are nice during the day, it does allow light and noise from the street into the room at night. I slept well but others may not. However, it is good value for money - very close to public transport and a short walk to Waikiki beach, restaurants and bars. I would stay here again
