Very cute place, we really enjoyed our stay here. Nice in-person welcome at check in with some local recommendations. We had our own toilet & shower (not ensuite) plus access to communal areas and kitchen. There were a couple of other rooms but everyone was very quiet and respectful. Very close to the Honmura Port area with quite a few cafes and restaurants. We rented e-bikes for 2,000 yen each per day from Bamboo Village which was definitely worth doing to explore.

Not a dislike, but worth noting that there's quite a steep driveway up to the property

The common areas felt very welcoming and relaxing. I appreciated the artistic decor and garden. Great location to explore this part of the island. The host rented us e bikes which were a great idea to see everything further afield. As a nervous cyclist even I felt happy navigating the islands quiet roads. Our host was generous with information and also allowed us to leave our bags ahead of check in time which was very helpful.

I struggled pushing an e bike up the drive but I have a leg problem. Others could manage given time and strength.

Customer service is excellent, they bend over backwards to help you. We arrived in a taxi only to realise our money out of my bag had gone missing and the taxi was cash only, the staff member of the hotel came out and paid for the taxi and we paid him back later after going to the cash point. So grateful, nothing we asked was too much. 15 minute walk from main train station, near a bus stop and very clean.

Nothing, mattresses are hard but that is everywhere in Japan. They had soft pillows which was lovely after our previous hotel in Tokyo had rock solid pillows.

Loved this great hotel, excellent location in a beautiful spot slightly elevated over the town, surrounded by greenery and very quiet. We were made very welcome and able to leave our bags earlier than check-in. Nice room with comfy beds and large windows we could open onto the garden with good access to our own bathroom facilities. It’s got loads of character with interesting art and books in the main living room. Loved our stay would definitely come again!

Loved it all.

Our host, Johnny communicated with us thru WhatsApp before and during our stay. Very responsive. Even though he is a very busy man, he went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure us a pleasant stay - making dinner reservations, arranging transportation, going over the points of interest on the island … Very quiet location on a hillside.

We loved the spacious room but not the western style bed. It is way too soft, lacking support.

Beautiful guest house with great shared kitchen and lounge. Comfortable room with private shower and toilet, but both outside the actual room. There are only 3 guest rooms, so everything works out fine. Bikes and e-bikes are available to rent, which is very convenient. Easy to walk down to all the Art Houses, and only a short ride to the main Art precinct.

The very steep driveway up to the house is a bit of a slog, but okay.

Great recommendations and communication from Johnny. He really helped us figure out a plan for our 1 night quick stay. And set us up with a reservation at a great local spot. Nearby the new national art museum. Which was my absolute favorite exhibit of the whole island. Really impressive and a must see modern art.

The place couldn’t be cleaner. And we enjoyed the 4 person bunk room for our family.

The property was lovely, well-kept, and comfortable. Our room was spacious-yet-cozy and ideal for our family of four. Johnny went above and beyond, giving us great information about the island and even giving us a lift to the Chichu museum when we were cutting it close to our reservation time. Bamboo Village’s proximity to the Chichu, Ando, and Art House Project was exceptionally convenient. We couldn’t be happier with our stay.

The room was nice and clean, and quite big. We had two bunk beds in our room. We had our own bathroom situated just outside the room. There was a small kitchen for making breakfast and some complimentary coffee and tea. Johnny was very helpful. He gave us tips on what to do on the island and where to eat. He even made a reservation for the restaurant. The location was good. The Honmura Port was very close by. From the Miyanoura Port it was just a short bus ride to the accommodation. The Naoshima Art House Project was just a short walk away and the Benesse House Area could be easily reached by bus.

Aw, what didn’t we like? This is the sweetest property! Japanese style as well as style - lots of nice art & cute objects to admire. We had the room with our own bathroom; it’s a good size. Staff are lovely, gardens are gorgeous, & the location is fab! And yes, there is a hill, but it didn’t phase us. After all, it meant a nice view. Would love to stay again! Thanks Johnny ☺️

Nothing.
