    The place was newly renovated and spotless. Good location.

    Zero privacy. When booking, it was not clear to me that there are two guest rooms separated by a very thin wall only, and that the shared facilities (toilet, bath, kitchen, living) are far from spacious even for two guests. Plus, the lady who runs the place and lives downstairs came up to collect garbage without prior notification, which further reduced the sense of privacy. Not really recommended for anyone who is not traveling alone. The "living room" is so small that it feels cramped even with two people, and the seats are very uncomfortable. The kitchenette has a tiny refrigerator (like the ones in business hotels), a microwave, a water cooker and a couple of cups, but no cutting boards or cutlery etc. so it is not really possible to make your own food. If all of this was communicated more clearly, no problem, but much of this came as a surprise.

    Property response:

    I am surprised and shocked by your very harsh comments. My accommodation is below the class of inns and hotels. I collected the garbage in the morning to make the common space more comfortable for you. That place is not your private space. I doubt whether advance notice is required to enter the common space. Did you not know that the common space was a common space other than the guest room? That's why you left your personal belongings there? The cleaning staff was in trouble. Also, I honestly wrote in the accommodation overview that the guest room is 10 m2, which is small for two people, and that you cannot cook in the mini kitchen. If you had understood the overview, you would not have booked "Fukuroku" and I would not have been hurt. We at accommodation rely on word of mouth. When you make a reservation in the future, I recommend that you read the description of the accommodation carefully.

    Entire house at my disposal. Brand new. The city exceeded my expectations.

    I have no comments.

    Property response:

    Thank you for the high score! The building was newly built one year ago. The cleaning staff works hard to keep it clean. You checked out to catch an early morning train. Since the hotel is close to the station, we are confident that this is a highly recommended inn for guests who use Shingu Station. Thank you for your stay.

    The room was very cozy (and very well located), and the guesthouse owner's couldn't be more kind!!!

    The guesthouse was very conventiently located next to Shingu station (about a 3-4 min walk), and the hostess was extremely kind and helpful, even though I spoke no Japanese ! The rooms (with futon bedding) were comfortable and relatively spacious, and the facilities were spotlessly clean. I would definitely recommend this place to any traveller in Japan.

    Nothing, everything went perfectly.

    You've just returned to France after your one-month trip to Japan. Were you able to buy Tetubinn in Osaka? Thank you for staying with us.

    The owner is very friendly and tried her best to communicate in simple english. The room is spacious and clean. There is also a living hall with microwave, kettle, etc. The location is superb, 5 minutes walk to the station and big supermarket, a smaller supermarket is just opposite the house.

    You stayed for three nights. Unfortunately, it was raining in the Nachi area, but the weather was nice at the Kumano Kodo Kogumo Torigoe, so I think you were satisfied. You kept the room very clean. Thank you for staying with us.

    The innkeeper is very kind and considerate. The room is on the second floor, very clean,cosy and comfortable, and the cute balcony, decoration and all the electric equipments are new. though small perfectly formed, making me feel at home. The flush toilet is smart, there's a faucet on top of the toilet tank. It well demonstrates the idea of resouces recycling.

    Undoubtedly, this place was one of the best accommodations I have been. The place is spotless. Seiko is a Super Host. She was very helpful to my request. Getting out of the train station you can turn to the left and after crossing the railway it is a two-minutes walk, there is a mini supermarket just in front of the accommodation and a big supermarket 4 minutes up the main road. The Villa is so adorable, if you have time for a little stroll, you will enjoy it. I strongly recommend it.

    All was perfect

    Spotless & spacious room. Shared facilities were also very clean. There’s a microwave, kettle & fridge for shared use which was helpful. The owner was so sweet. There are only two rooms and I was the only one staying on my visit so had the place to myself. It’s across the street from a supermarket & a short walk from train station. All three shrines are also walking distance. Great value as well!
