Guest Reviews
- 奈美 (7/5): - ロケーションは良かったです。山の中なので、虫が多いのは仕方がありません。 トースターが壊れていて使えませんでした。1階廊下の電球が切れていたり、建て付けが悪くしまらない、しまりにくいドアもありました。値段もそこまで高くは無かったので、仕方がないかな、という気もします。
- 蘇米粒 (10/5): - 小孩超喜歡 溫馨方便 離水族館超近 玩的爆開心 無
- minghui (3/5): - 没有热水 联系房东 知道不是日本人后态度特别敷衍
- 雄基 (10/5): 最高 - 一棟貸しでプライベートな空間が作れるので楽しく宿泊できた!
シャワーも2つありトイレも2つあるので助かった! 特にない
- Sasao (1/5): 無駄だった - 清潔感がない、暗いし狭いし車で行きづらい、泊まってないのに返金対応もない
蛾などの虫は仕方ないと思えるが、入ってすぐヤモリ、ゴキブリを発見。机の上にも何かのフンらしきものあり。床にはネズミ駆除の超音波式の機械が置いてあり、落ち着けなかった。ベットの周囲にもあるんじゃないかと疑心暗鬼になり別のホテルを探した。机も建て付けが悪くグラグラするし、壁にかかってるギターは弦が切れていたりとまるで廃墟のようだった。
- kenta (5/5): 子供たちを喜ばすなら1番 - 寝るところが秘密基地感があって子供たちが喜んでいた! 防音関係がかなり気を遣った!
夜トイレ行くのとか
- Tomoharu (10/5): -
- HARUNA (3/5): リピートはないです - 広くて、秘密基地のようなスペースがあり、おもちゃがたくさん置いてありました。子供は大喜びでした。 寝具に髪の毛がついていたり、枕の下や至る所にヤモリか何かの糞がありました。一階のお部屋の中心にコオロギの死骸がありました。夜にはキッチンに巨大ゴキブリがでたのですが、殺虫剤がゴキブリに対応していなくて、かなり格闘しました(*_*)
海洋博の花火を見にいくために、こちらの宿を予約したのですが、バルコニーから見えるとのことだったので会場に行かず待機していました。ですが実際は音しか聞こえず、茂みの奥の方に花火の光りがすこし見えるかな?ぐらいでした。お酒も飲んで、みんな部屋着でくつろいでいたので会場にもいけず、仲間たちにブーイングされました。
- Sunniva (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing house, perfect for a friendgroup or a couples trip. So comfortable and beautiful nature around the house.
- Meiken (9/5): Superb -
- Diederick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mogan (10/5): Exceptional - This hostel is a must. The staff are very nice and lovely. The view, The hamac and the tatami everything was perfect. Nothing
- Megane (10/5): perfect place and the staff is amazing - This place is amazing : the atmosphere and the staff make you feel home ! thank you so much ! I highly recommand nothing
- Shea (9/5): Lovely view & people in Mambo hostel! Decent & warm place. - - Hosts are very friendly and makes space for conversation with each other. Haven't thought I am able to make friends during a trip! : ))
- Nice view surrounded by the greens. I spent a while in the terrace in the morning, very chill & peaceful.
- Aquarium and beaches are very accessible
- If I come again, hope to see the sunset around the area or in the hostel. will be great! If you plan to visit from naha airport, suggest taking YKB888 or any bus route that goes directly from airport to the stop near the hostel.
It is expected to be a long journey since the hostel is located near aquarium and islands. It took me 2-3 hours bus to travel from naha airport to the hostel, & about 20 min walk from the bus stop at mahania hotel.
I think it is worth it anyway : )
- Kerri (9/5): Immaculate hostel in Motobu - The staff member was friendly and welcoming (good luck on your next adventure!). It’s in a great location in the Yanbaru mountains and I can’t get over how cheap it was! The double room was only $55AUD a night! The room had its own aircon which was a blessing in 35 degree humidity. Plus, there was a spacious deck looking into the rainforest, Everything was super clean too. Perfect for a couple but I selfishly used it as a solo traveller. The dorm pods looked comfy and had fans. Not a problem with the property but don’t let Google Maps take you down little backstreet laneways to get there. Use the main route. One laneway was a single car width and was overgrown with grass that brushed along the car.
- Diogo (10/5): Exceptional - Everything made me to have a perfect experience. The location is wonderful, the hostel is really cozy but the best of everything was the staff. Congratulations!
- Peggy (10/5): 11/10 hostel experience. Chill beach house vibes hosted by the warmest people - Exceeded my expectations, Mambo Hostel really is something special. The staff (Daiki, Yumena, Ryota, and Seiya) are down-to-earth, friendly and so so kind. I have fond memories of chatting with the staff and guests every night sitting around the floor table together. Their warm-heartedness is in the way they welcome you back, ask how your day was, and tell you "be safe" when you head out. Beds are comfortable, beach house is just great vibes overall, and the shared facilities (water filter, kitchen, laundry, bathroom) are all available for your convenience. Also, driving around the island was absolutely gorgeous!! Absolutely nothing. Drive carefully as the road up/down from the hostel is quite narrow!
- Daiki (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mila (9/5): The stay here was amazing! A lot of really nice people together working at the hostel making you feel very welcome there - I really loved the whole atmosphere of the place, it was so peaceful and beautifully surrounded by nature. Also everything in the hostel was very clean. The only thing that was a bit difficult is transportation because everything is quite far away and busses can be unreliable but luckily the owners would sometimes drive you to places, which was super nice and sweet
- Yolande (9/5): Superb -
- Tim (9/5): I enjoyed the friendly, welcoming vibe of this guest house. - I only stayed for one night but had an awesome time. In the evening, everyone gathered in the living area and chatted over drinks--like hanging out with old friends. The bed was comfortable and I was able to sleep well.
When I come back to the area, I'll definitely stay here again. No negative points!
- Selenay (8/5): Best staff, friendly people, nice interior! - Super friendly staff! Thank you Kai-san!
Nice interior design, comfy beds, clean space.
Surrounded by nature.
I only stayed for 1-night and there wasn't many people when I went there but they held activities, everyone hangs out at lounge and get to know each other. It is a little isolated from the main road (10min walk) and after sunset, it gets pitch black - no street lights. Restaurants nearby closes around 7-8 but there is a family mart near the main road.
There are geckos chirping at night. - if you are not afraid of them they are kinda cute.
- Haemi (10/5): I would definitely return in the future - Super friendly staff, amazing set up, quiet location Nothing
- Calvin (8/5): Very good - Property had a cool tropical vibe to it. The fan in the bed was really helpful as it can get warm at night. The host was really nice and showed us around the area. If you have a phobia of spiders, crawlers etc then I would not recommend as naturally (not the host fault) Okinawa has a lot of this and the property will get some.
- Esplin (10/5): Exceptional - The property is beautiful! The staff is also the best. They make you feel so welcomed and hospitable. Highly Recommend!
- Adeline (10/5): Exceptional - The staff and manager were nice and friendly. The room was clean and neat. Bed was comfy. Lovely balcony to spend the morning. 3 mins drive from Churaumi Aquarium, would go back to this hotel again in future! They only accept cash so remember to bring along cash. NA
- Laura (10/5): Amazing! - Everything, the place, the vibe, the kindness of the owner. It’s a very friendly place.
- Consuelo (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay in Okinawa if you travel alone. Many thanks to the staff who made me fell home from the very first day. I met a lot of new friends in this hostel and I had the best time on the island.
- Michal (10/5): Best borax of my Okinawa trip❤️❤️ - Amazing place!!! Best part of my trip in Okinawa❤️ the location is good - close to the aquarium, beach, restaurants and bus station. The stuff can’t be any better, taking care of anything and always so so nice. Comfortable beds, cozy and clean. I wish I have stay longer❤️❤️❤️ super social hostel best place to meet people
- Tommy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Georgina (10/5): Amazing hostel with friendly staff - Most comfortable stay in a hostel I’ve ever had. The attention to detail is amazing, so many little things to make your life easier when travelling (shelves and mirrors by dorm beds, free washing machine and towels, free parking, good communal kitchen). The staff are so lovely and welcoming too, the whole place has a really nice, chilled atmosphere. It’s also in a great location and is in a great sunset viewing spot. Nothing
- Chantal (10/5): During my stay I felt so at peace, truely a magnificent place to stay! - This Hostel was amazing. The design was very welcoming and nature focused which is something that I love. Because of its location you have nature all around you and the atmosphere is very peaceful, me and my friends would spend hours relaxing in a hammock listening to the sounds of birds and crickets. During my stay while my friends chose to stay in the shared rooms, which were also really beautiful and clean, I chose a private room which was to my surprise enormous with a private balcony that takes half of the whole second floor, totally worth it!
The location is also 20 minutes walking distance from the Okinawa aquarium which is a nice plus, there’s also a beach next to it but we couldn’t go swimming because swimming season starts in April.
The staff was exceptional, no doubts about it. She event prepared us dinner and answered any questions we had very openly and with a smile. To be honest we were kind of sad to say goodbye because although we only stayed for two nights it felt a little bit like home. I’m hopping I could visit again. The only thing bad about this place is that if you arrive after sunset is pitch black I saw so many people using their phones to light up the way. People from other hotels nearby not only us, the whole area is pitch black, so keep that in mind. And if don’t have a vehicle to move around and like us you are going to use the bus system the bus stop is 14 minutes away.
- Aman (10/5): Must Stay…I will remember this for the lifetime - Everything, especially how the staff and host welcomed us and we had a great time.
- Chun (10/5): One of the best hostel I stayed at. I highly recommend you staying there. - Mambo hostel is probably one of the best, coolest and most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed at. The host is welcoming and shown great hospitality to the visiting guests
The hostel location very close to the Churaumi aquarium which you can easily get to by Okinawa Airpot shuttle.
The hostel itself is well designed. The environment is very chill and relaxed. I remember fondly sleeping on the hammock at the balcony, listening to the sound of birds
The sleeping cubical are beautifully crafted and provided me good privacy and plug for charging!
Thank for the enjoyable stay, I definitely will come back and stay there again and for longer!!! Nothing
- Ashley (10/5): Thank you for a very welcoming stay! - The staff were so friendly and welcoming! They took the time to chat with us, get to know us, and they all even walked us out to the parking lot/ gave us hugs/waved goodbye to us as we were leaving. I got the feeling they really enjoy this job - that they really love living in motobu/okinawa, sharing with others, and getting know and connect with travelers from around the world. They even organized a hotpot dinner for guests! A piece of constructive feedback I have is that it would have been helpful if the trash bins in the bathrooms were bigger. They were hardly big enough to hold one overnight menstrual pad.
- Bong-han (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and kind owner!! I would definitely come back here again.
I stayed on Christmas Eve. So, we did not have a chance with mingle with other travelers. We have dinner with the owner watching One Piece anime. It was a memorable day. Probably none. Far from Naha.
- Layla (10/5): comfortable and welcoming - such a welcoming and fun place to stay! I’m definitely coming back :)
- Lucie (9/5): Superb - The staff was very kind and they showed me a lot of beautiful places.
The sunset from the terrace is amazing.
I really loved my stay at Mambo and would go back for sure.
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (9/5): A nice place to stay near Ocean Expo Park to meet other travelers for a very good price and quality - Friendly staff
Flexible hours for check-in
Near Churaumi Aquarium
Clean and locked room
Free parking available
Fridge and dining room
Budget friendly cost Careful of small animals and bugs in the house as the hostel is surrounded by nature
Best to arrive while it is still sunny as you can get lost in the small streets to reach the hostel
- Tamara (10/5): Exceptional - The Hostel is sourrounded by Nature, but still you are really close to the Aquarium and other things. The people working& staying there are so lovely and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay there and the Hostel gives you a feeling of home.
- Markus (10/5): I would definitely come back - The house is surrounded by a jungle like nature. It is very peaceful and not far away from the Aquarium. I would definitely recommend renting a car as it was very convenient getting around the main island of Okinawa and specifically the north. Kana was very friendly and helpful. He gave us good tips where to eat and where to go diving. Thanks Kana! Hopefully see you again soon.
- Lyazzat (10/5): Exceptional - A very beautiful and cozy place. I wish I could stay longer
- Ryosuke (10/5): Exceptional - The owner is friendly and speaks English.
Room is clean and really open. The location is a bit difficult to approach.
- 子豪 (10/5): Be careful to find the road in the night. - Friendly hosts make you feel at home :)
The place I want to stay again after whole trip. Miss it! Sometimes room can find an arthropods, a bit uncomfortable to me.
- Marvin (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place, amazing people. The hosts took me snorkelling and to local restaurants. Had the best time here and stayed even one night longer.
- Ruiting (8/5): Very good - The owner is cool but helpful, providing the guests free rides to the restaurants and beach nearby if he is available. Great atmosphere with other guests and clean and well-designed rooms. Will come and stay when I'm back in Okinawa!
- Juana (10/5): Wonderful to experience the bes of Okinawa. - The place is comfortable, beautiful and staff is sweet, welcoming and helpful. I would recommend it for a solo trip, couples or groups. For working or relaxing. Has amenities for making stay even more comfortable. Easy to reach by bus from Naha airport. Perfect for car.
- Tezuka (10/5): It was a great pleasure. - Great staff and location.
- Tina (10/5): Exceptional - Kanato and Seiya have created an incredible experience here at Mambo. Not only were the surroundings amazing and the house beautifully decorated, the vibe of the hostel is like a family. I’ve found that as you go through life and grow up, true community gets more and more rare and valuable. I’m so grateful I got to experience a community like this. Thank you Kanato for looking after us so well! Only getting to stay for a weekend. I’ll have to come back for longer!
- 佑勳 (9/5): Superb - Friendly helper
- Shailesh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): Exactly what I needed to calm down. - I loved the location tucked away in the green. Everyone was very kind and although I came alone, it felt like I had booked a trip with friends. The hosts are very helpful and they were taking us to the beach everyday. It was very chill and you could also easily do your own thing. If you want a real and good okinawa experience, I can really recommend !
- L (9/5): Super friendly and chill hostel located in walking distance from a variety of tourist attractions, great for short or lo - Super friendly and chill hostel located in walking distance from a variety of tourist attractions and beach areas! The staff were extremely welcoming and quickly made me feel at home. You can enjoy chatting with other guests in the living room but also are able to close the curtains to your bed and have privacy. There were kitchen and laundry facilities and I think it would be great for both a short or long stay. There was a great chilled water cooler. There was also a lovely balcony where you can enjoy and ocean view! Nothing. But although it’s walking distance from the aquarium area if you have luggage and it’s hot outside it’ll be a bit of a tiring walk, I recommend taxi for anyone with luggage but no car or motorcycle (if it’s within your budget!).
- Guy (10/5): Fantastic, most memorable of all my trips through Japan! - Super chill vibes, felt straight at home and the people were awesome! Nothing
- Umi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Judit (10/5): The best hostel in Japan -
- Ayesha (10/5): Exceptional - The owner and workers make you feel very comfortable. Some nights you can all have dinner together, very warm experience. They take you to the beach, snorkelling, the best local restaurants, if they’re free. Mambo is like a little family, when you leave you will miss them🩷
- Cayden (10/5): exquisite and plentiful - this property is divine I didn’t like how there was
nothing to dislike
- Noa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicolas (9/5): Superb -
- Aliz (10/5): Exceptional - Great staff, amazing location close to Okinawa aquarium in nature.
There are plenty of activities to do, from snorkeling at the nearby beach to watching Arrival on netflix. :)
I had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend!
- Florian (10/5): Awesome - Best Hostel i stayed in in the last couple of years. Owners were super friendly and cool. Very family like atmosphere.
- W (10/5): Exceptional - Mambo hostel runs by very freindly energetic young Japanese who took care of everyone like a family member. Swimming, surfing, visiting places and the best kept- secret restaurants in the area. It set among trees, llarge varanda with armchairs, hammocks and tables for sitting around. Not only that, they would not hesitate to help and drive you shopping when needed as well. Highly recommended! Thank you indeed! Nothing at all.
