    Breakfast was extra. Japanese style room. Towels were also extra, given we already paid for a private room you expect at least towels in the room.

    Friendly host, great location, parking available. Nice atmosphere, nice communal area.

    The walls are thin, so some nights, when other guests have small children and are noisy, it's hard to sleep. This is important because we have dive early in the morning.

    The whole place is super cute and just a few minutes from our dive shop. My friends and I stayed in 3 rooms and we all are delighted w/ the size of the room. The best thing about this place though is that it is SUPER SUPER CLEAN. The toilets and bathrooms are shared but it is ok - not gross at all. The hosts are nice and understand English, especially the man. We ordered breakfast because we have to leave early in the morning and they were so nice to prepare it at 6am even if it's not supposed to be available until 7am.

    The lock in our room seems not working. I really didn't ask how to use it but it's a sliding door so maybe it's really hard to find a lock for that kind of door.

    We like the house It has lots of sinks and the toilet has a bidet. They also have a shower outside that you can use when you come back from the beach you can take a shower there to take the sand off and there's a backdoor where you can enter straight to the bathroom. The bathroom was also awesome! The share lounge is also cozy and there are japanese books for children and also buzz and Andy which my daughter enjoyed.

    There is nothing that could have been done better !

    I had a great time at Sora house. In this very hot weekday-end, the lobby and bedroom were at the perfect temperature. The lady of the house was very kind and helpful, she gave me great recommendation for the restaurant. The breakfast was generous and at a very affordable price. Since I was alone in the room, it was very quiet. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back !

    Futons in the private bedroom were quite hard (which kind of comes with this kind of bed)

    Lovely host family, everything was always super clean, enough toilets and showers (since everything is shared I think that's an important thing to mention), kitchen has everything you need, common room feels nice and cozy, dorm has enough space for everyone to keep their stuff and beds were comfy :)

    I don't want to be too hard because the owner were very nice but something has to be done concerning the soundproofing. We were hearing all the noise from the other rooms. very difficult to sleep, we had a familly next door that wake up us at 7am. If you are lucky, if everyone is quite that might not be a problem. I'm putting a 6 to be nice.

    Very nice owner, nice place to rest if you have a car.
