Guest Reviews

• Sykeo (10/5): -

• Dale (10/5): - Beautifully designed, very comfy beds, lovely quiet neighbourhood It’s a little dark but that did not bother us
• Daniel (9/5): A great option for a stay in Kyoto. - The house was lovely - spacious and with good facilities for our family. The house was modern and very well maintained and presented. The main bedroom upstairs was fantastic with lots of room to relax and enjoy the space. The hosts recovered a bad experience for us and were very gracious and helpful to resolve what could have been a disappointing experience. The sliding gate at the entry was stuck on our arrival which took some time to open. Also would have preferred to have the ability to lock the glass sliding door when we left each day instead of just locking the gate.
• Robilliard (9/5): Beautiful house and area - Great residential location, close to everything you need on holiday. Futon mattresses not as comfortable for the juds
• Brendan (10/5): -
• Arely (10/5): -
• Berrick (10/5): -
• kuanting (6/5): - 櫃檯接洽員工很熱情 在京都站旁邊可以寄放行李 走路5分鐘有一間超市 帶行李建議直接坐計程車，地點離地鐵站很遠不方便托運行李，只有公車站很近很方便（但是公車不能帶行李箱）。 室內光線超級昏暗缺少燈光暗到看不到東西非常不方便，建議可以除了氣氛的燈光可以加一些實用的燈光，例如現在餐桌上跟廚房用品燈光都超級昏暗。 洗脫烘的設備聲音很大，不能夜間烘衣睡覺會被吵醒，烘衣服也不太容易乾。 浴室的乾濕分離，洗完澡還是會漏很多水至外面地板。
• Michael (3/5): - Le style de la maison, le personnel réactif lors de notre problème, même si cela n' a pas été résolu. Humidité forte, pas de déshumidificateur ou en tout cas pas assez puissant. Très bruyant, mal insonorisé, j'ai entendu les voisins vomir pendant 2 nuits, et on entend ceux qui dorment a l'étage dès qu'ils bougent ou autres. La douche s'est déversée dans toute la salle d'eau. Le toilettes ne fonctionnait pas bien. Il n'y a pas de section pour enlever ses chaussures, juste avant le jardin de gravier ce n'est pas pratique, il n'y a pas de tapis ou autres. Personne n'est passé pendant les 4 jours et 3 nuits pour enlever les poubelles, changer les serviettes ou nettoyer. Le prix n'est pas justifié : 800€ pour 3 nuits. Je suis déçu...pas de geste commercial.
• Ariane (10/5): -
• Sally (10/5): Ein wunderschönes, stilvolles Zuhause in Kyoto – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. - Alles! Das Haus ist stilvoll, ruhig gelegen und perfekt ausgestattet – wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Nichts – es war wirklich alles wunderbar.
• Jayne (10/5): We loved this experience with the mix of western beds as well as futons - It gave us a traditional Japanese accommodation feel and it was super super cute It was probably a little bit far from the centre of town, but this was not a major issue.
• Claire (8/5): - House was cute and great for our purpose. Beds were comfy and it was very well appointed The stairs were very steep which could be a problem for some people
• Anirudh (10/5): -
• Wong (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thomas (10/5): Perfect, comfortable stay at an authentic machiya home. - Great location, beautiful authentic machiya house with plenty of amenities to make our stay comfortable. As an example, this was the mid-point of our three week tour of Japan and we were easily able to do laundry and ironing at this house. The staff also provide good quality tea and coffee as well as cooking utensils. There are also some fabulous restaurants nearby. The favourite of our stay was a place called Coppies, a ten minute walk from the accommodation. The accommodation staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect and we’d like to thank them for that, particularly in regard to handling packages we had delivered from our travel agent and taking care of our bags before we could check in to the house. I’d highly recommend this house but also the company as a whole! Nothing comes to mind, we had a great stay.
• Luke (10/5): Excellent stay in kyoto - The location was good. Very well connected via bus. Excellent forwarding and delivery service for luggage.
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional - What a magical house it was! We loved staying here, everything was super clean and accomodating! Perfect for up to four people I would say. The heating worked perfectly (I get cold easily), the rooms were super spacious and beautiful. A 20 min walk to the train station we used the most, only a 6 min walk to the train station we used to depart. And upon arrival at the check in point, everything was explained so clearly! They even offered to have our luggage taken to the house so we could start exploring Kyoto immediately. We were sad to go and will be staying here again!
• Santiago (9/5): Was there for three nights, with a family of 5. Very comfortable and beautiful. Had heated floors and strong heaters, wh - It looked exactly like the pictures, beautiful Honestly everything was amazing.
• James (9/5): Superb -
