Iriwa Guest House

We had an amazing week here. The people working here were very kind, welcoming and accomodating. Bikes (free), rental car, snorkeling goggles (free if you clean them afterwards), extra towels (100yen) are all available. Location is amazing, taking the bikes +walking to Yonehara beach or the Blue Cave is a must do!

Nice people with nice smile . Also the atmosphere at night is great. I enjoyed a lot. One thing you most be prepared for is not much choice about restaurant around and close early . So either you bring your own food or you have car so you can go a bit far area for food .

Pros: nice set up, nice staff, very quiet and peaceful surroundings, there are a lot of amenities, it feels very safe and chill Cons: you have to pay for lots of things, e.g. towel, laundry, laundry detergent and it's not at a good price I would say. The beds are a bit too firm!

Not a luxury hotel by any means but the whole experience was so special. It's a tiny "village" and has anything you could need. We took the private room and it was amazing

Very comfortable guesthouse, kitchen and garden. Great location close to Kabira Bay and other beautiful beaches. Staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are very clean and well stocked. I would highly recommend this guesthouse for long term or short term stays.

Stayed here for 7 days with partner and baby on private room and common toilet/bath. Not much activity on the place. The cafe was unfortunately closed during all days we stayed here. I liked the place, but rooms and house is getting old and has seen better days. Facilities are OK, but not more than that. The staff is friendly, but has trouble with English communication. For some reason they eat, sleep and rest (alot) in the same common area as the guest use. I don't know why. The room and the common area are clean on the surface, but not very clean "under the carpet". I think this place could use some upgrade. I will consider to go back 🙂

Staff are lazy, liars, and totally incompetent. It says on their website to book directly for best prices. Seven times I asked the full time male and female worker to extend by one week. The pair of them repeatedly said they could not get hold of the owner? Why on earth do they need the owner to do a job they are paid to do? Totally ignored my requests all day and night. Did not bother to rebook online as the staff are too garbage. They are too busy swanning about having a sauna with tourists, laying on sofas or hammocks, and cooking elaborate meals for themselves whilst watching their devices for entertainment. The plumbing is crap here, with one blocked dirty cracked sink. One broken toilet. The shower leaked, and sign for not to use the bath. The kettle lid did not fit and microwave was too dodgy. The whole stand holding all this was about to collapse at any minute. The redeeming features were the sitting area and garden was very nice. Met nice people who were guests and had a bit of banter. If they fixed the plumbing issues, tarted up the washroom and dormitory, and of course got new staff, place would be wonderful.

We stayed for 4 nights. The place is super beautiful and well designed. There’s a big and cosy common area with really nice kitchen. The staff were super nice and welcoming. Sometimes there is even a cafe running in the hostel with good espresso!!! Really quiet and beautiful area.
