The atmosphere is really welcoming and relaxt, Ryota does an amazing job of making the place comfortable. Great value for money. Very very clean, which is a tough job with all the humidity. The beds are sturdy frames that don't move around when people do, with curtains and each their own dimmable light. Plenty of space in the rooms. It's small scale with a total of only ten beds divided over two dorms, four female dorm beds and six mixed dorm beds. Perfect size in my opinion. The car rental is very cheap for what you get. Free bikes to use. The Yomitan peninsula has some very nice beaches and places to visit. Highly recommend.

I didn't have more time to stay

I had the best stay of my trip so far thanks to Ryota ✨️ Comfy beds, human size hostel, clean bathroom. The breakfast, cooked by Ryota and changing everyday, is sooo good. Bikes and snorkeling gear available for free, which is super nice. Cool rooftop for nights without rain or wind ;) Castle, museum and pottery village nearby ; restaurants and cafés too. If you like to cook, the kitchen is available and a supermarket is close. The transfer service to the different buses are perfect 👌🏼 And of course the music nights are the little plus that make a stay incredible ! We had a super nice karaoke night, with lovely guests.

Nothing

I have to give Ryota, the host of Ryukyu Guest House, such incredible praise. What he has built up on his own and how he treats the guests is just incredible! I have never been to a better and so familiar accommodation. Ryota takes care of all the concerns you have and is just a really sweet and nice person. About the hostel: There's one common room with a nice comfy couch, a quite well equipped kitchen and a big dining table. There is a big, private shower and you can use washing machine and dryer for free! Because it is a music hostel, there are all kinds of instruments, which you can play at anytime. Downstairs are the bunk beds which are incredibly comfortable and the AC cools the whole room down to an acceptable temperature (speaking for the summer). Outside there is a big table, usually used for chatting or eating. The same goes for the rooftop, where you can sit down and relax as well. It's located quite close to the castle ruins (which is a beautiful spot for watching the sunset!) and you can reach everything else pretty easily as well because: You can borrow bicycle for free! Rent a scooter for 500 Yen a day! And rent cars for not too much as well! Yomitan is amazing for diving and snorkeling and if you shouldn't have snorkeling equipment, don't worry, because you can borrow that too for free! If you have any questions about where to go and what to do, just ask Ryota, he knows the best places. One thing that makes it even better, is the freshly made and free breakfast that you get every morning! It is so good! If you are began or vegetarian, just tell Ryota and he'll think of it when making your breakfast. Especially if you want to meet new people and make friends, this is the perfect place to go. Most guests are Solo-travellers and are open for conversations. I had the pleasure to meet some amazing people! All in all, it's just an amazing place to stay and I can recommend it to any traveller that comes to Okinawa.

I had an amazing stay at this place! While the location is a bit off the beaten path, it’s absolutely not an issue – the host is happy to pick you up if you let him know. The area is wonderfully quiet, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The breakfast was by far the best I’ve ever had at a hostel – freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! There are also free bicycles and snorkeling gear available, which added so much fun to the experience. There are also various musical instruments available to play, which I thought was a really nice touch. The host is super friendly, always available, and incredibly helpful. There's a fully equipped kitchen for cooking, a laundry area, and a supermarket just a 12-minute walk away. All in all, a fantastic experience – I’d definitely love to return someday!

Breakfast were perfect! all the time! Also the location is in the middle of main peninsula i would say and it was close to north and also to south part of the island. Host is super cool and u gonna have everything what you need. Nothing more, nothing less, is just everything what u need. Clean, perfect amenities, super kind staff and lot of things u can use and rent. Thanks one more time. Adam from Slovakia!

There is nothing i can mention about. "what i did not liked" because this is one of the best hostels i ve been in.

very surprised the owner picked me up at the bus station at night breakfast was delicious beds were comfortable loved the deck peace and quiet is a music hostel but very quiet nothing too noisy owner very friendly filled me in on the details great customer service loved the place would highly recommend The owner dropped me off at a convenience store and recommended that I buy Sushi. For 12,000 yen I had at least 15 pieces. So delicious. I ate on the deck and savoured every mouth full. Can't beat the price other restaurants charge 12000 yen for just 3:pieces. The owner dropped me off at a bus stop to go to my next place. Saw a sign after walking back from the castle. It was very clear and visible. All the travelers at the guest house were also very friendly Super customer service

nothing I didn't like the castle was just so so nothing really spectacular but a nice outing by foot. Thanks to the great directions again from the owner

Stay here if you want the experience of a lifetime. Ryota san is one of the kindest host I've ever get to meet. He let us borrow the bikes, helped me get to the bus station, and kindly informed us about restaurants and sightseeing spots. The breakast was phenomenal with restaurant quality pancakes and sandwiches. Ryota-san even turnen off the lights and lent us yoga mats and blankets to lie down on the veranda and gaze at the stars. The best part is probably the electrifying vibrant energy of the live music played by other guests. I got to know incredible individuals and made so many memories here. Please come visit and experience for yourself.

It was so comfortable, felt like home. It was warm, clean, cosy. Everyone was really nice and I loved being able to cook in a fully equipped kitchen. As a solo female traveller, I felt really safe. It was also a great location, when you use the free bikes, there is a lot to do around the place! I stayed for three nights and wish I could stay for a week or two honestly. Also, the free home cooked breakfast is a great testament to the love and care in this place.

Nothing!

A lovely hostel with gorgeous breakfast and owner. And it's very friendly to introvert people like me -- you can either join the talk or quietly sitting aside reading book with a cup of Getto tea on the hand. It is pretty clean everywhere, despite that the dormitory itself is located in basement-- but it does not feel wet, which is quite amazing. Washing machine and dryer are free to use so that you could consider bring less clothes if you choose here as accommodation. Also there are free bikes to use -- highly recommend riding along the Route 58. Riding for about 30 or 40 minutes you can approach the beach, but the journey itself won't make you feel long as the scene on the road is so beautiful.

1. Quiet 2. Cheap price 3. The hotel owner English very well, and introduces nearby attractions enthusiastically. He also plays guitar at night, so cool. 4. I had to take the bus, boss was willing to get up early to make breakfast. The breakfast was very delicious, and there were even blueberries and strawberries. 5. Clean and comfortable. 6. Free washing and drying clothes. 7. Free use of bicycles.

There is a bus stop nearby, but there are few buses and the location is a bit far.
