    The room was slightly smaller than I expected. But it was still very comfortable.

    The location was very close to the 2 hotspots for a military persons. My room was extremely comfortable. Location was very close to food and a family mart for last minute supplies. Would highly recommend this place!

    The host was amazing and very friendly. Thanks to her we got a lot of great local recommendations and getting to play with the adorable kiddies was a perfect bonus :) The facilities were great and clean.

    This place was so perfect I can’t really think of anything. If I had to choose one thing it was that the mattress was a bit too soft for me, but that’s just a matter of personal preference.

    I live in Okinawa and used this place to shut out noise and completely focus on a writing project for a few days. The owner was very kind, the room and shared facilities were well-maintained and clean, the mini kitchen had everything you need for a short stay, the cats (and one dog) living on the ground floor were super cute and provided much-needed respite from the writing. Great location near the Gintengai bars (which I didn’t go to this time because I had to focus on writing, but I’ve been there and they’re great) and a convenience store and supermarket all within walking distance, overall great value for money!

    It takes about 1000 yen per person to travel by bus everyday. This location is best served if you have a car.

    I engaged with the staff on multiple occasions. They were friendly and could hold a small conversation in English.

    The bus does take away to get there from the airport but that is not the fault of the homestay.

    The host really does a great job making your stay a comfortable one. The room is pretty small but comfortable. Never an issue with the shared shower and nice to have a laundry available at the site. A Family Mart convenience store is close as is a grocery story. Restaurants are a bit further out

    It was very easy to get to from the airport. It was much better than I would've guessed. The host was super nice, and the dog and the cats were super cute. I loved my stay and highly recommend it. A convenience store is very conveniently located close-by. Sightseeing always requires riding the bus since sights do tend to be further away - but that goes for everywhere in the City.

    I don't have any complaints.

    I loved being able to cool the room down with the ac unit. It made relaxing and sleeping so easy. One of the best guest houses I've stayed in. I was pleasantly surprised when I took a stroll and found that there are a whole lot of dining options within about 20 + minutes walking. The buses that go by on the main road are only a minute or so of a walk to get to.

    The building is faced to the main road, so some people may find it noisy. A single room without a view, so if maybe it's not ideal for some.

    Very clean and comfortable room. Shared kitchen, toilet & shower room are always kept clean and well maintained. Friendly and helpful owner is a bonus. (Many cats & a dog!)
