Guest Reviews
- Susanne (10/5): Immer wieder gerne - Tolle Lage, Wohnung bestens ausgestattet!
- Susanne (10/5): Eine Hundertprozentige Empfehlung! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen - Die Lage der Wohnung war perfekt, die Ausstattung ideal und der Kontakt zum Gastgeber einwandfrei! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und der Abschied fiel uns schwer!
- Philippe (6/5): Correct, mais éloigné et assez spartiate - Une petite maison sympathique, mais assez loin du centre de Kyôtô (5 stations de train), et à 10 minutes à pieds de la gare. Le quartier est calme même si parfois on peut entendre 1 ou 2 véhicules démarrer ou passer devant la maison. Attention à Google Maps qui a tendance à faire passer par des petits chemins de gravillons pour aller plus vite, mais désastreux quand on a une valise à déplacer. Préférez les chemins goudronnés.
Ma plus grosse critique : nous avons réservé pour 3, mais seuls 2 futons étaient installés, et nous avons du chercher et installer le 3ème futon nous-mêmes, sans aide et… sans draps ! Par ailleurs, les futons n'étaient pas très épais et le tatami vite ressenti… Mais malgré tout aucune gêne ou mal de dos au réveil. Une notice en anglais pour la machine à laver aurait été un plus.
- Begum (5/5): Passable - Amenities were good. Would appreciate a dryer as well to reduce time spent on laundry. The neighbourhood is extremely quiet and dim with no lights in the evening. It’s also difficult to bring the luggage back and forth due to the nature of the pavements.
- Oleksandra (8/5): Good choice for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of authentic Japan - Clean, cozy, authentic accommodation in a quiet area with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's easy to find with google maps, but the nearest station is about 15 minutes away. Poor wifi connection - we couldn’t even use wifi and used mobile internet
- Christopher (9/5): Superb -
- Luai (8/5): Great entire home experience - Facility, contactless check-in experience, and quiet neighborhood. A little bit far away from the nearest metro station (12 min walking), bed sheets have some non-removable stains marks but were still clean, refrigerator has a very bad small. I would give it 9/10 if the price was a little lower.
- Fernando (8/5): Great traditional space with good light and well equipped. No cleaning or towel/linen service - Beautiful traditional space with modern appliances, great bathroom and towels, and very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable traditional futons with great linens. Location is not the best, need to walk to bus stops and at least 20 minute ride to central Kyoto.
Stayed 5 weeks and there was no cleaning or towel/linen change, quite unacceptable for the price of this place. The washer was OK, but no drier, making it necessary to go to a coin laundry, which were not close at all.
We will not return to Shiki homes for this reason.
- Bernd (8/5): Comfortable stay in Kyoto in a calming neighbourhood - Very comfortable residence, perfect for two people.
Well equipped with appliances, spices and tea in the kitchen.
Bath and washing machine also were equipped with soap/washing powder. Some places of the location weren't the cleanest, like the air conditionier or shelves behind the TV.
- Yu (10/5): Exceptional -
