Guest Reviews

• Gil (10/5): -
• Yu Hsuan (4/5): -
• Maria (10/5): Amazing stay would definitely book again! - We had such an amazing stay at Life is a Journey in Yomitan. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms, and the owner truly couldn’t have been more kind and welcoming. There are beautiful beaches all around and a vegan restaurant in front of the stay, which was delicious. I even forgot my water bottle there, and the owner went out of his way to send it back to me by mail. Such incredible kindness and service! Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. I will definitely be booking here again. Highly recommend!
• Ufo (9/5): - Cozy and peaceful
• Johanna (9/5): - Quiet room, nice lounge and a well equipped kitchen.
• chia hsiu (10/5): - 住宿走路就會到海邊 老闆很親切 環境很乾淨 第一次到琉球度假是很好的住宿經驗 感謝老闆的招待
• YUMI (10/5): 沖縄で唯一リピートする宿 - 過ごしやすい。 友人が快適だったと言ってました。 駐車場無料だけど分かりづらい
• 강 (10/5): -
• David (10/5): - The staff The location, without car it quite hard to move around
• Patrick (10/5): - The host is very friendly and the house is clean and in good condition
• Yuma (10/5): It felt like a home away from home :) - The guesthouse was very homey, clean and comfortable! It’s right next to a bus stop, which is very convenient. It was a wonderful experience!
• TOMOKI (8/5): -
• Greg (10/5): Amazing value in perfect location! - Great location near the beach! Bed was comfortable and the room had aircon. Great experience! Owners are super friendly.
• ELIZABETH Ⅶ (9/5): 清潔で居心地の良い場所でした。 - とても清潔で気持ちが良い。キッチンには必要な道具と調味料がそろっているので道の駅や直売所で新鮮素材を仕入れて地元の味を楽しめました。残波岬にも近く朝からドライブと散歩ができました。近くに美ら～湯があるので夜は温泉に浸かってレンタカーで戻りぐっすり眠れました。オーナーもいい具合にほったらかしにしくれるので私たちにはとても居心地のよい場所でした。 ベッドのスプリングがいまいちで寝心地が悪い。
• Margarita (10/5): - Owners were really kind and helpful. My husband had medicall issues and could not walk. They helped us without hesitation or expecting anything in return.
• Chia-Yu (9/5): -
• Ryutaro (10/5): -
• Sheila (8/5): The host was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Great location and value! - The host, access to kitchen, lounge, and bike, and location. Mattress was bare and uncomfortable.
• Sina (10/5): - Lovely stay almost like at home :)
• Hiromi (9/5): -
• KYOKO (7/5): オーナーの思いがつまった宿だと思います、 - チェックイン予定の時間を過ぎ、遅い時間に到着し、その前に連絡をいただいていたが、返信もできずご迷惑をお掛けしたが、宿の場所で迷ったので電話で聞き、対応してもらいました。 よくないではないが、下調べがたりなかったと反省した。
• TANIMURA (10/5): 清潔、快適。 - 設備も部屋も清潔でとても快適でした。 特にないです。
• KUANGYU (9/5): -
• Caroline (9/5): Highly recommend - Great quiet place with a nice atmosphere The beds are very hard
• sae (10/5): - 部屋もとても綺麗で安心しました。キッチンやお風呂の共用部分など女子2人旅ということもあり少し心配していましたが、オーナーや宿泊してるみなさんが優しく、とても楽しく宿泊できました。北谷町や恩納町へのアクセスも良く、様々なところへ出かけることができました。 夜は車で8分ほどの残波ビーチへ星を見に行きました⭐︎ また沖縄へ来た時は泊まりたいと思います！🫶
• Rebecca (8/5): - Die Unterkunft ist nicht weit vom Strand entfernt. Für 500¥ kann man sich eine Schnorchelmaske ausleihen und der Besitzer gibt einem Tipps für die besten Orte zum schnorcheln. Es gab einen gemütlichen Gemeinschaftsraum. Die Terrasse war morsch und ohne Möbel.
• Eva (10/5): -
• Ayano (7/5): 最高！！ - サップがとても楽しかったです！ ゲストハウスに初めて泊まったのですが、一緒に泊まった方と合流する機会があり楽しかったです！ 23時までのキッチン利用でしたが、それ以降も使用される方がいらっしゃり、私たちは気にしませんが、気にされる方は気にするのかな？と思いました。
• Joshua (8/5): Quaint and comfortable - A nice little guest house. Friendly host and a pretty good location if you’re in that part of the island. Everything was clean and working. It’s a single story house with four bedrooms, a living room and a small kitchen/ dining room. One toilet and one shower shared by everyone. Washer and dryer worked well. Good location for Yomitan. The parking lot is just around the corner from the house itself. We were there four days and wouldn’t want to stay longer. Rooms were small and you wouldn’t want to just hang out there. It was fine and having access to a kitchen was a big plus so we could make breakfast. All the other guests we met only stayed one night on their way somewhere else. Google maps won’t lead you where you need to park. It will have you turn off the main road along the coast and then take the first left. Take the SECOND left to get to the parking lot. The roads don’t connect.
• Eizo (8/5): - 清潔でよかったです。コスパ最高です。
• greit (9/5): - Clean, Cosy and close to the sea on a very chill Part of yomitan.
• YUKI (10/5): - 清潔感あり。コスパ抜群。
• Donald (10/5): - Friendly owners and guests.
• Midori (8/5): - 海も窯元もカフェもそばにあり散策が楽しい
• Yu (8/5): Very good -
• Ayumi (8/5): Very good - Manabu, the owner of the guest house is laidback and nice, and can speak English. The guest house is clean and cozy. It is close to one of the most divine caves called “Blue Cave” in Onna village, impressive Cape Zanpa, Yachimun Pottey village, serene beaches and many high quality cafes and restaurants. Manabu and his wife also own a cafe called Blue Point. I highly recommend to stay here and explore Yomitan village. My favorites were going snorkeling and experiencing scuba diving at the Blue Cave, which were once-in-a-lifetime adventures. You will get to experience first-hand how truly blue the ocean of Okinawa is!
• Gallagher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jody (7/5): I liked everything but the beds - Great location to beach/bus, clean & tidy The beds were really uncomfortable/hard as a rock with springs digging into my back-not great sleep for 3 days
• Donald (8/5): - A very comfortable guest house with a staff that is genuinely friendly.
• Beatrice (6/5): Pleasant - The location was great if you have a car with you. Close to great snorkelling areas and good food options. There is a delicious cafe right next door. The host was very friendly and rented us snorkelling gear for the day. The walls are very thin and you can hear people all night long. The beds are very uncomfortable (think springs poking into your back all night long) and only a bath towel was provided as a blanket. The floor in our room was about to cave in as well.
• Ting Ni (10/5): - 這裡的一切都很美好，沒有開車也能夠搭車抵達，想前往真榮田岬潛水也很方便，是個寧靜的海邊村莊，只是附近餐飲選擇不多，建議準備食材前往，有完整廚房設備可以使用，期待未來還有機會能夠造訪
• Arran (9/5): Superb -
• Hugo (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (10/5): Wonderful guesthouse - the owner was very welcoming and helped me to plan my road trip on the last day since I didnt have anything planned. Information was provided very early on and this allowed me to have a very comfortable and wonderful stay. location was a bit far from Naha airport but still provided a very good base for exploring other parts of the island like Onna Village and Cape Hedo.
• グエンドリン (10/5): Kind, clean, comfortable, and convenient - The rooms are simple but comfortable and individually air conditioned. It's right across the street from the ocean, and next door to a vegan restaurant that serves delicious lunches and really good espresso. The owner is wonderfully kind and helpful. It is very clean. Besides convenient laundry facilities, there is also an outside area in the back where you can hose off your fins or water shoes or soak your mask in a bucket. Guests share some common facilities, allowing you to have a friendly chat with a new person in the kitchen over a cup of tea--or not, as you prefer. But there are only a few rooms, so I never felt that there was competition for the shower or other facilities. This was the second time I have stayed here, and I expect it will not be the last.
• KOIKE (10/5): - 居心地のいい宿です。
• Waruna (8/5): Very good -
• Lh (10/5): Lovely guesthouse! - The room and the facilities were clean and comfortable. You can use the kitchen and there's a living room with tatami. Washer and dryer are available too. There are not many things going on around as it locates in a quiet residential area, but the cafe right next to the guesthouse serves great felafel and superb coffee. Last but not least, the owner was really friendly and helpful-- thank you! It might work for others, but the mattress was too soft for me.
• Wing (9/5): Superb - i had a late check in to the hostel, while the host was nice and kept contact with me for my successful self-check in:) nope
• Giselle (9/5): Superb - The owner was very friendly and helpful. He also speaks English. My room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need, even a big toaster oven. The bus depot is a massive hike up a massive hill if you don't take a bus to get there.
• Lee (10/5): Beaustay -
• Misaki (8/5): Very good -
• Maiko (8/5): - 親切で清潔なところでした
• yoshin (8/5): - 初めてゲストハウスを利用しましたが様々な方とお話しできるので良かったです。 オーナーさんも気さくな方で話しやすかったです。 シャンプー類を忘れてしまいましたが常備されていてとても助かりました。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - ・海が徒歩1分以内 ・夜は海沿いで光も少ないため、星も綺麗に見えました。 ・当日のお昼頃にSAPの急な予約をしても夕方のツアーに参加させていただけた柔軟性 wifi、冷房、お風呂、キッチン使用可能なども言うことなしです。 ・徒歩15分、車で5分程の距離にスーパー、ドラッグストア、コンビニがあり小さめのレストランもちらほらありました。 ・人との交流や一人旅には言うことなしのコスパの良さだと思います。 また沖縄に一人旅するときはお世話になりたいゲストハウスでした(^^)
• Yuji (8/5): 雰囲気がよく素敵なゲストハウス - 雰囲気がよく素敵なゲストハウスでした。オーナーさんも適度な距離感を取ってくださり滞在中は快適に過ごす事ができました。
• Ryosuke (8/5): Cozy and quiet - The place is pretty nice and comfortable, the host is friendly and nice. House is a little bit too far from local attractions. But thankfully, the owner offered us a ride to the bus stop on our last day.
• Fionn (10/5): 10/10, great guest house and owner - Amazing guest house! The owner is so kind and made us feel at home straight away. He took us to the supermarket and for food on our first day as well as taking us to the bus terminal at the end of our trip. It’s a legit 1 minute walk from a beach and a 10 minute walk from THE most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Would recommend to anyone. Great value for money and the location is great. Wish we had stayed longer.
• Suckjae (10/5): 오키나와 스노쿨링 근처 숙소 - 좋았어요~ 여행첫날이라 늦게 도착했는데 밤늦게까지 기다려주시고 시설도 깨끗하고 주인아저씨도 정말 친절하고 좋았습니다~ 다음에도 기회가 있다면 한번더 갈만한 곳입니다~
• Linda (10/5): - We had a room that faces the sea. So nice to wake up to see the morning sun. Host and staff are warm and hospitable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): ひとり旅で個室を利用しました。快適でしたよ。 - 一戸建ての平屋をリノベした宿のせいか、おうちに泊まっている感じ。気楽にすごせる雰囲気ですが、オーナーやほかのゲストとの距離が近すぎるということはありません。そのため、気ままにマイペースにすごせます。 宿の中に、押しの強い張り紙（あれをするなとかこれはダメとかですね）がなかったのもよかったです。 レンタカーで北部観光するのもいいですが…。徒歩圏内のプライベート感あふれるビーチでのんびり過ごしたり、自転車を借りて「座喜味（ざきみ）城址」や「恩納岬」に行ったりするのもいいですよ。 「恩納岬」に行くまでの、高台から海を眺められる海岸沿いの光景や、「座喜味城址」から長浜集落へ続くサトウキビ畑の中を通る田舎道は、最高の雰囲気。さりげない風景だけど、かくれたビューポイントだと思います。 おまけの情報として。最近の柔軟剤や洗剤の香料がだめな方でも、こちらの宿なら心配いりません。シーツもタオルも香料の臭いゼロでした。環境への配慮から、自然なものを使っているそうですよ。
