Reviews of Japanese Guesthouse Kinosaki Wakayo (Female Only) 1 stars

Guesthouse was very clean and the host was so helpful. The area is very safe.

I LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND SPENT HERE! The two ladies that manage the guesthouse are sooo sweet and helpful! They even upgraded our room for free, helped us with our luggage, with advice, everything! The room is so beautiful and traditional and we each got a yukata and a litlle basket with things needed for the onsens. Everything is extremely clean, there is also a view to the little garden in front of the accomodation, all in all, 11/10, would come back in a second if given the chance!

Good location: two blocks (1-minute walk) from the main road, and close enough to the onsens. The staff are extremely helpful and kind. They provide cool yukata and geta you can wear to walk around the onsen town. I felt safer staying in an all-female ryokan.

The walls are super thin so I could hear coughing and talking in the room next to mine, which made it difficult to sleep even with earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones. The locks on the doors are very loud so I would wake up when someone down the hall locked/unlocked their door. Soundproofing is virtually nonexistent; don't stay here if you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise.

The two hosts make the guesthouse really feel like home. Very nice Ryokan (style) guesthouse, would definitely recommend when going to kinosaki.

Nothing.

Very convenient location. Nice house. Yukata, bag, and gets for onset are provided.

The lock on the door is not very handy.

I love the tatami room & appreciate that they provided a yukata, towel, geta & the Onsen map. The guesthouse is not far from train station, convenience shop, cafe & restaurant. Staffs are friendly & very helpful.

A beautiful and very peaceful traditional home. Every care is taken to ensure you are comfortable. The garden is special and such a wonderful experience with a lovely host.

All good!

I loved the location, the simplicity of it, and the owner was so kind.

Lovely staff, beautiful building!

Great location walking distance from all the onsen (hot springs). I loved the experience of a traditional Japanese-style Ryokan at a fraction of the price of the other Ryokans in town. It felt like stepping back in time.

Nothing really. It was great! It would've been nice to get my towel and Yakuta earlier than the 3pm check-in, but that wouldn't be expected.

Great budget traditional stay in Kinosaki. Everything is very clean. Had a great sleep there on a futon bed. The vibe is retro and mysterious, which i loved. Onsen outfits are provided free of charge.

I loved wearing yukata, wish i could keep it for couple of hours more after check-out :)

Female part of family stayed here and got a free upgrade since they were three. Exceptionally nice tatami room. Piece for one night really worth it.

No breakfast included, but for the price it's reasonable.

Great location, staff was very nice, extremely clean facilities and nice kitchen space.

Nothing

Very friendly staff, great location and beautiful accommodation. A wonderful traditional stay, moments from onsens, cafes and restaurants.

This was such a nice, traditional guesthouse! The two owners were so welcoming and kind, in addition to giving us Yukatas, appropriate shoes and bags to wear for our onsen stays, they even helped us with putting them on when we asked and were just lovely all around. The guesthouse is located in a quiet side alley next to one of the main roads of Kinosaki, so it is easily accessible. The Futons were a bit hard, but I think that is to be expected for people who are not used to sleeping on them. Nonetheless it was an amazing experience we would not wanna miss on our Japan trip and I'm sure we would stay there again should the opportunity arise. Arigato-gozaimasu!

Literally nothing! Just a few things to know in advance: The provided Yukata are standardly sized for Asia, which means they are by no means plus-size friendly - if you want to wear one, you should bring your own, even though it's not necessary to enter the Onsens or anything. Also bring your own towel to dry off after bathing, there is just a small thin towel provided by the Guesthouse which is sized like a hair towel and will not be large enough to dry your body.
