Base House Kinosaki お子様無料でサウナもアクティビティも楽しめる城崎温泉一棟貸し宿 One Group a Day Private Villa with free shuttle service, sauna and outdoor activities

The host was so friendly and helpful. Kinosaki is a lovely place to visit with the onsen being the top attraction; but the host showed us how to make the most of it. The location is a bit away from the centre but the bus is easy enough to take. Highly recommended

Yuko was an incredibly welcome host for the guesthouse. She communicates with you and asks for your needs before you arrive as far as transportation, food/water, and more. She makes sure you're comfortable and the environment is set up very well for meeting new travelers as well.Out of all of the, guesthouses/hostels I've stayed in for Japan, this one felt the most like home.

Kinosaki Hideya was so cute and comfortable! This is a local family's home that also functions as a hostel / guesthouse. It was right on the beach and accessible to the main downtown of Kinosaki by car, bus or bike. I rented a bike from the hostel and used it for two days - only 15 minutes to downtown. The owner, Yuko, is also super accommodating and happily drove me when requested. This is truly and authentic experience for those who want a glimpse into local life outside the curated (and generic) ryokan experience. I will say I had a private tatami room and it was very, very nice and comfortable!! Yuko is also a great cook! She serves a full Japanese breakfast a la carte if requested, and other favorites like curry and udon for lunch or dinner!

Room is quite roomy, bed is comfortable.host was helpful helping us with transport.

Communal area was messy and cluttered, kitchen and toilet area were untidy and messy, floor was looked unclean. Transportation was a problem as it was a bit far from Kinosaki about 5km/an hour away. Be prepared to pay extra for taxi or private shuttle which add extra $$. At the end it will be costly than cheap place.

I really enjoyed and felt comfortable during my stay here. I think this was one of the highlights during my trip to japan. I met some very kind people who I am still in contact with and had a very relaxing and nice stay. I really enjoyed riding around on the bike in this area. The owner of this place was very kind and helpful and even drove me to the train station. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Nothing

For this price you will struggle to find anywhere near to Kinosaki, and for the twin room it was a steal. Also the host was very nice and accommodating.

The location is pretty limiting, they offer to pick you up and take you back to Kinosaki, for ¥500 per person so you should take that into account. Other than that there is a once a day bus, and an infrequent bus from a stop 20 minutes walk across the river.

cozy, warm interior design!

a bit far from the station

Although it takes a bit more effort to get there, I really love the atmosphere of this place. I didn't meet the host the first night and felt a bit cold, but I didn't mention it. To my surprise, the second night I found a hot water bottle in my bed before I went to sleep! The last bus from Kinosaki Onsen leaves a little after 5pm, so if you want to stay in Kinosaki Onsen until the evening, cycling is a good option. The bicycle was really great to ride! Genbudo Cave is also worth visiting; I cycled there after soaking in the onsen. Thanks for all the help from the host!

Everything about this hostel was great. This place is a hidden gem, can't recommend it enough.

Nothing, everything was great.
