8 Nov 2024I would mot recommend this accommodation. The location is great, but it is barely enough equipped, not very clean, and there is no other way than to disturb the host to get in the house every time you come in. It could be a nice place to stay if the host improves it, but as it is, it is definitely not worth the price!

4 Aug 2025The accommodations were spartan but clean we had the "Family Room", the owner very nice and helpful. The bathroom and shower were fine. The double bed was 2 single beds pushed together.It is 15 minute walk to the station and to Byodo-in (main attraction in Uji) There are no food options close by but kitchen access was available.
The only real problem is that for anyone who has mobility issues, access to the room was 2 flights of very steep narrow stairs.

31 Oct 2025I booked a female-only Japanese style room and I was put in a (cheaper) bunk bed room and 3 middle aged men showed up.
I advised that I had booked a female only room and the host just said sorry only mixed room available. The property does not have a dryer as stated- so I washed my clothes and they were wet at 10pm and I had no way of drying them. The beds do not have plug sockets by the beds, just on the wall so they don’t reach to the top bunk. The check in process involves you speaking to someone on video chat. It was overall bad. The place was also hard to find in the dark

11 Jun 2026ゲストハウスなのでベッドのみ、コンセント無しなのは仕方が無いとしても、とにかく説明が足りない。
扉が閉まっていたので、朝になるまでリビングがあるのも分かりませんでした。
あと場所が分かりづらいです。
Googleマップを使用するなら住所を直接打ち込まないと北にあるお寺に誘導されます。

3 Nov 2025Nunca había estado en un guesthouse, era una habitación con 6 literas(mi suerte fue que no habían más huéspedes), tienes que antes de irte cambiar sábanas, está limpio, el personal es amable, está muy lejos del centro de la ciudad, la estación del tren esta como a 15 minutos caminando, hay restaurantes cerca, es súper tranquilo el barrio y bonito, solo hay cerca un templo y un río, pero si quieres estar cerca del centro este no es tu hotel. reserve 3 noches pero solo estuve 1, por todo lo mencionado, me fui antes(perdí ese dinero porque no quisieron reembolsarme.

22 May 2025Une arrivée un peu tardive donc impossible de trouver la résidence. C’est en donnant chez une habitante sympathique qui nous a amenées. A l’entrée un ordinateur pour se connecter

30 Nov 2024寝れません。
チェックインは、遠隔操作で、開かなかった。電話してもでない。
一般の3DKの改装で、板戸の反対がキッチンで隣の部屋に音が筒抜けで、遅くに戻った人達の食事音、会話が筒抜けで寝付くのに苦労しました。
隣のベットの海外からの来訪者の会話は、24時まで続きました。
深夜の会話は、駄目なことが伝わっていない。
