Guest Reviews

• Katherine (10/5): -
• CARLIE (10/5): Kenji was an amazing host. The location couldn’t get any better. So grateful to come across this gem -
• 采伶 (8/5): 住塌塌米,要自己舖床,若想體驗日本人的生活,可以選擇 - 老闆人很好,我們行李寄放到下午3點左右,他還說沒關係,好好玩,不用急 整間只有一個廁所,我們住樓上,要下樓去上廁所
• Philip (10/5): Exceptional communication and comfort. - Kenji-san is a fantastic host and above all else a fantastic person. The accommodations were exactly as described, and the room itself was even bigger than expected. The location is exceptional. Make sure you eat at Saganoya and Banban while you’re here.
• Maria Teresa (8/5): - El baño compartido, si hay mucha gente es un poco incómodo esperar.
• Nguyen (10/5): -
• Mika (8/5): -
• Etsuko (8/5): 元気に京都、嵯峨野の滞在を楽しめました！あたごやさん、ありがとうございました✨ - 冷蔵庫内が広く使えたので 持参した食料が多かったが保存出来たのが嬉しかった。それは滞在中に参加するイベントのスケジュール内容が雷雨等の悪天候によって変更になっても臨機応変に調整出来き、食料が無くなっても、近くにコンビニがあり、イベントからの帰りに購入出来たので、あたごやさんに帰宅した後食事と休息がとりやすく元気にイベントに参加出来て楽しめたのが良かったです。 シーツが汚れていたのが残念でした。濃いめのグレーのシーツによく見るとシミ(より濃いめのグレー色)があるのを寝る前に敷いた時に気がつき、翌朝出発が早いので、そのまま使用しました。改善で、チェックイン時に部屋等の説明を全て受けた時にシーツを広げて確認するのが良いと思いました。’きっと綺麗だろう’と思い込んでいる自分だったなと自分を見直しました。

• vi (4/5): - Room near the train station ,but far from the center of Kyoto Too expensive for a room of only 15 square meters with a thin mattress, they charged an extra 20€/night for a kid and the 3 of us crammed into a tiny room, the mattress was so thin that we woke up sore.Have to share toilet with 2 other rooms !! The walls and floor are thin wood, so we have to do everything very gently to not make any noise, but I can still hear clearly what people are saying in the next room, and his snoring is loud all night!! At over 100€/night, it's overcharged, the owner will be a millionaire for renting out 3 tiny rooms at such an exorbitant price. Never coming back
• deb (9/5): Wonderful guesthouse - Well located for Arashiyama town and bamboo walk. Wonderful host who was very accommodating to wait for us to arrive with our luggage, even though we were late - thank you! Stairs to the room were steep!
• Alena (9/5): - Beautiful Japanese-style place in an amazing location, with restaurants and the bamboo forest within walking distance. It’s also very close to the train station. The owner was super nice too! The stairs are a bit narrow. If your room’s on the second floor and you need to pee in the middle of the night, be careful going down!
• Helena (7/5): Small guesthouse with a friendly host - Small and personal. You have access to both a kitchen and washing machine. Nice, calm area i Kyoto, close to the Arashiyama bamboo forest. Very nice host. Good value for money. You should be aware of the fact that the shared bathroom and toilets are on the bottom floor and the stairs are very steep. We stayed on the second floor, so it’s good if you don’t need to get up in the night.
• Valemax (10/5): -
• Annette (8/5): - Der freundliche Empfang. Die Größe des Zimmers. Die Lage in der Nähe des Bambuswaldes. Die Treppe ist sehr steil. Die Toilette sehr eng. Die Küche war nicht so sauber.
• Jie (9/5): - Nice and quiet traditional Japanese house stay. The shared kitchen and bathroom were well maintained. We were surprised to find an original Nintendo Family Computer with a selection of games in the downstairs room. It was also an interesting experience sleeping on a futon — easy to set up. Nothing. But keep in mind the stairs are a bit steep.
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Josep (9/5): - Casa tradicional japonesa, molt acollidora. Una experiència nova aixo de dormir al tatami!
• Watanabe (6/5): 良かったです - キッチンや洗面所、お風呂がすぐ近くにあり自由に使えたので家のような快適さがありました 別の部屋の声は筒抜けだったのでうるさい人と当たったらしんどいかも
• Aleasha (8/5): -
• Ivan (9/5): - Very welcoming host, who can provide tips and advice helping your stay more enjoyable! Good location for exploring Arashiyama area. The train station in close proximity.
• Jordan (10/5): - Kenji was a very nice host and his "guest house English" speaking was wonderful!! It is a perfect location if you are looking to wake up early and walk to the bamboo forest, you can be one of the first people there. Kenji also gave us recommendations of places to visit in the area that you otherwise may not have known about.
• Ella (9/5): - Tge location was excellent to explore Arashiyama and close to the station as well. The owner was very nice and the house had everything you need for a short visit.
• Smith (9/5): My stay. - Nice host and amazing house. Nothing to complain about.
• Kristy (8/5): Comfortable budget stay in a great area - Amazing location, great value The common areas (kitchen and bathroom) were not very clean, but that may have more to do with the other guests that were staying on the property at the same time as us, and not the host. Hard to say.
• Walid (10/5): Exceptional - I had a wonderful stay at this guest house in Arashiyama! Kenji, the host, was incredibly kind and helpful, making the experience even more special. The location is perfect — just a short walk to the beautiful Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and the Hozugawa River. The atmosphere was peaceful, and everything was clean and comfortable. I would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommend.
• Jeri (10/5): - The host was amazing. He contacted us to see what time to expect us. Whenever we walked up he was at the door to welcome us and show us around. We loved everything about our stay. Now understand that this is a traditional Japanese home. My family enjoyed the experience. We were a nice 15 minute walk to the bamboo Forest, a short walk to several dining options, cafe for coffee and a Lawson for convenience. We loved getting out of the hustle and bustle of the big cities for the night. I wish we would have planned to stay longer.
• Reda (10/5): Perfect - We had a great stay at Guest House Atagoya. The atmosphere was friendly, and everything was well-organised. The owner was super welcoming and gave great tips on local spots. The room and bathroom were clean. We definitely stay here again next time we are in town.
• Amy (10/5): - This was a very comfortable and welcoming guest house for a very authentic Japanese experience. It had everything we needed and Kenji was very helpful and kind. The steps to the second floor are steep so it would be tricky for anyone who has difficulty walking. For anyone intimidated by sharing a bathroom or toilet- it was fine. We had no trouble using the facilities whenever we needed them even though the guest house was full. It was a lovely stay.
• Reyn (10/5): - Excellent
• Vergara (7/5): Good -
• Shenji (10/5): Clean, easy, and comfortable - It’s near the train station and easy to find. The room is clean and big, but its need to heat it in winter. Nothing
• Baby (6/5): Pleasant - Very near to train station easy to find.
• Ratana (9/5): Great host, extra efforts, close to train station - The owner, Kenji was very helpful from the booking to the end of my stay. His written English is excellent. His speaking is good. He ran after me to the train station to help me purchasing tickets and help me fixed my shoes. I left a plug for my phone charger there. He mailed it to my next hotel promptly without charging me. This is the extra efforts, I heard some Japanese do. Thank you very much. You are a great host. Hope you and your family will visit America soon. The location is very close to JR train station.
• Salwani (10/5): Exceptional - All None
• Tessa (9/5): Compact and welcoming guest house in excellent exploring Arashiyama - The host was so thoughtful and hospitable, sent iMessage prior to arrival with some excellent recommendations. We had everything we needed at the property, and were able to beat the crowds to the bamboo forest before breakfast! Thank you Guest House Atagoya for a memorable stay. Nothing
• Haldi (7/5): Good -
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fatih (10/5): Very comfortable stay!! Special thanks to Kenji! -
• Yichia (10/5): Exceptional - very close to the JR station and main street the host is extremely friendly and provided helpful information though we can only use the shared toilet and shower, there are not many guests per night, it's not inconvinient .
• Maksim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Taylor (10/5): Exceptional - Best part were recommendations for dinner from the host and his quick responses. Also supper close to train station. Clean and warm (I was there in winter). Enjoyed the Japanese style bedding!
• Koon (10/5): Exceptional - Extremely friendly host! A very special experience to get a taste of living in a typical Japanese house!
• Suvd (8/5): Very good -
• Alicia (8/5): Incredible location for exploring - We really weren’t here for long, so, I can’t say too much. We arrived late at night and left early in the morning. Staff were very nice and kind enough to store our luggage while we explored the area the next day. Excellently placed for the train station (jr line for rail pass holders), which also happens to be next door to the Sagano railway hall. Very easy to get there in time for on the day tickets even at a peak time. Also very well placed for an early pleasant walk to Bamboo forest. Although, my I recommend continuing through to the pathway and viewpoint (it’s very crowded, even in the early am). Corner shop is also minutes away with pretty late opening hours. The staircase was incredibly steep. I was a bit worried about my daughter in the night.
• Boron (9/5): Impressive - location price
• Cloudexplore (9/5): Superb - Extremely friendly host who gave us some recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. The guesthouse's in a walking distance to Arashiyama main area and it's also surrounded by decent food places.
• Søren (7/5): Good - The cheapest room I could find, still way more expensive than other places in Japan. Be aware of steep staicase. It was cold in the bethroom and kitchen. Luckily the room had heating.
• Bun (6/5): The place is okay. It would be great if they clean the common areas more often. - The location is really good I think it needs to be cleaned more often
• Aleksandr (7/5): Good -
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alisa (10/5): Comfortable traditional Japanese stay - perfect for Kyoto experience - Perfect location for getting to bamboo forest, monkey park, bridge, kimono forest and temple. So helpful with check in. Had laundry and fridge I used.
• Virginia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): Great spot in Arashiyama, location is prime and near train - This is a great smaller property in the heart of Arashiyama. It was such a comfortable stay in this tradition Japanese room. The area is so close to train and it’s a boutique hotel with great customer service.
• Nina (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful host. Even when I paid for a shared room I had the whole room for myself. It was the first time for me sleeping on futons on tatami and it was surprisingly comfy.
