Guest Reviews
- ?? (10/5): - 全てが良かった
- けいこ (8/5): - 偶然ネットで見つけ、予約しました。 市街地に近かったので、食事を心配することもなく、老夫婦には気軽に楽しい旅行ができました。
- Ethan (10/5): - The owners were exceptional! So lovely and went out of their way to accommodate us. We have never experienced such great customer service in our lives!
- chiou (10/5): 美好而溫馨的旅宿 - 剛好在淡季入住，以致我們成了包棟入住，屋內的暖氣、澡堂還是給得很足，感覺對店主有點不好意思。招待的是日本夫妻，老婆的英文還不錯，老公好像英文不太好。櫃檯、澡堂有營業服務時間，夜間出入也有門禁時間，就需要用密碼鎖出入。雖然我們的和式房沒有附廁所，但店主貼心的將房間安排在離廁所及茶水間很近的地方。周遭的賣店有點距離，如果沒有開車前往，記得要先自備一些需要的食物。位置緊鄰琵琶湖畔及沙灘，如果夏天這裡一定很熱鬧！！是值得再次造訪的地方！
- ???? (8/5): - 公共交通機関で行くには不便な場所です。
- henriette (10/5): - View Lodge Biwa is a really nice accommodation right on the lake shore at Manohama beach. Nice and quiet hotel with Japanese and western style rooms. The place is run by Chiaki (who is fluent in English) and her husband, who are excellent hosts.
- Kin Hei Steve (10/5): - Very friendly reception. Environment is kids friendly
- Leif (10/5): Home away from home - Very comfortable, owners are nice and accommodating. Near to Lake, dining and other things
- Leif (10/5): Summer time Lake Biwa - Check in was fast, front desk very kind and polite. Great view of lake, right on the beach.
- ?? (10/5): - 숙소 바로 앞 해변이라 좋습니다. 좀 오래된 건물 이지만 부분 리모델링으로 전체적으로 깨끗합니다. 다음에도 방문하고 의사 있습니다.
- inok (2/5): - 여기 숙소의 가장 큰 장점은 호수 앞에 있는 것과 매우 친절하다는것입니다 숙소가 오래되어 청결 문제가 있습니다 에어컨이 더러웠기에 밤새 히터를 틀었을때 공기가 너무 안좋았습니다
- ?? (6/5): - 湖のほとりにあっていい景色が眺められます。 お正月に素泊まりしたのでお忙しかったのでしょう。朝イチのお風呂では床に髪がたくさん落ちてました。 食事をいただいてないので、また泊まった際にコメントします。 チェックアウト時には現金で、と言われました。 私のチェック漏れなのかもしれません。
- ヨシロウ (6/5): - 近くに食事施設がない
- YAU WAH (8/5): - 整潔，提供免費單車，環境一流
- Verified traveler (6/5): 壁が薄い？ - 隣の部屋で夜遅くまで宴会をやっており寝れませんでした。 サービスはとても良いです。
- Wai hing Rean (8/5): - 屋主很親切，屋內布置很照顧有小朋友的家庭。
- MINGWEI (10/5): 十分用心的日式飯店 - 距離車站走路有些距離，但是環境、服務⋯一切體驗都能感受到他們用心。
- Lan-Yu (10/5): - Nice, lovely hotel just next to the lake. Should be very popular during summer time.
- Brielle (10/5): Amazing lakeside stay!!!! - We loved our stay at View Lodge! The owner was so kind and welcoming - she offered us local recommendations and helped us with everything we needed. The site has free bikes to use and kayaks or ping pong available for rent. We ate breakfast at the restaurant - it was affordable and delicious. Very traditional Japanese foods and preparation. The owners make all the food themselves! The onsen and rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great views of the lake from our room! There was mens/women’s bathrooms on each floor (not in the room) but this is typical for most traditional Japanese hotels. We hope to go back someday! We had a relaxing, lovely stay and enjoyed getting to know the owner and her family and explore the Lake Biwa area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 秋の琵琶湖 - ツインの洋室に宿泊しました。 アジアンランプがベットサイドにあり、シンプルだけど落ち着く良い感じの部屋でした。 オーナーも奥さんも感じの良い方で、お話した印象も良かったです。 ロビーのインテリアも家族子ども向けの雰囲気であたたかい感じでした。 窓から見える琵琶湖が素敵でした。 湖畔の散歩も時期が秋で静かで宿泊して良かったです。
- Verified traveler (6/5): サプライズでよかった - お風呂が大きくよい(^.^)夕食を出せない日があるので、あらかじめ情報がありますとありがたいです、ただしまちまでは、たくしいで最低料金です、
- FFH (6/5): Mixed Experience - Stayed here with a friend on a bike trip around Lake Biwa and into Kyoto. It was fine as a simple hotel. The experience with the service was mixed. LIke many hotels in Japan, there was a narrow window of time for dinner and breakfast. No bath amenities were provided; even getting a towel for bath required an extra charge. On the other hand, the dinner was quite nice (boring decor but great food) and the waitress-receptionist put tremendous effort into our request that she point us to some nightlife options - drawing an elaborate map, explaining the options, and arranging to have the owner of a great bar - Peppermint - come to the hotel to pick us up and deliver us home after a few hours drinking and listening to great tunes. We arrived in the evening and left early in the morning and so did not make use of the beachfront, but it looked nice and like a good place for young children.
