Reviews of Guesthouse Shirahama 2 stars

We were looking for a cosy accomodation with "home vibes" and it was a very good choice. Very comfortable, very easy-going, everything what is needed for a budget travelling. Friendly Staff&Friends. Great location, close to everything, Shirahama beach, good restaurants, onsen, bus... nothing to complain about :)

May be it would be worth to invest a bit to improve the shower facilities.

Lovely small guesthouse in a beautiful beach town.

The shower situation is a little odd, but manageable, would be nice to have a lock or something.

Awesome!! Thank you!!

Nice place to stop off the for the night after coming back from Nachi Falls. Easy to find and the bed was comfortable for the night

Great location near beach and onsens are a short walk. great value simple japanese style rooms, very friendly owner. Stay was as I expected

Nothing

Super cozy stay in Shirahama. I love the location. The owner is so kind! It is so clean and neat. It was very comfortable in a traditional Japanese room.

The guesthouse is super clean and the landlord is extremely nice. Very convenient location with many restaurants nearby. Close to the beach and bus stations (about 7-10 mins walking distance). Usually it could be a little bit cold in a Japanese traditional house. No worries, air conditioning available here!

Wifi is available on the first floor, not so stable on the second floor.

This cozy house offers all the essential amenities and is impeccably clean. While the room isn't soundproof, it didn't bother us at all. I particularly enjoyed the inviting kitchen area, perfect for relaxing. Convenient parking is right in front, and the host is very helpful in arranging spaces. Don’t miss the wonderful onsen nearby, 南紀白浜井の芝 —it's definitely worth a visit!

Not really anything

The house is in a Japanese style, which was nice. The host was really friendly and helpful, and speaks English quite well. The beds were comfortable, and there were free towels. The location is superb, I walked to the beach everyday.

The shower is outside which isn't the most comfortable.

The house owner is very helpful. As we need to catch up an early train in the morning before bus operating time, she helped us book a taxi.

good location and cheap

The room was very shabby, run down

We loved this place! The owner is such a wonderful friendly person. She was great to chat to and get some local tips. It was comfy and very quiet.

Nothing

Everything is perfect

nice apartment decor clean

Only one old shower for the entire guesthouse, which is outside the house. Poor WI-FI which works only in the common area. Check-in only between 3pm-7pm Owner locks the house and does not give the keys, so If you are late you have to wait for her to open it. House is old and everything creaks. when trying to sleep you can hear literally everything that's going on in the neighboring rooms, or in the toilet. Someone, while cleaning, threw my factory-packaged sweets into the trash. Lady who owns the house is an unfriendly person, from the first message and during my stay the atmosphere was still not friendly. I had to wait until 3pm the next day to check-in because as the owner replied check-in only between 3pm-7pm. She said that her place is cheap so I have to follow her rules, so despite paying and texting about the problem in advance, I had nowhere to sleep and the cost of the first night was not compensated in any way.

Perfect location. There is a nearby free foot onsen on the way to the guesthouse. Kitchen was great!

We had a coughing neighbor in the opposite room which made either difficult to sleep even with ear plugs. Other than that, everything was really great!!

Felt like home. So comfy.

Nothing.

This is a really unique place to stay. We stayed in the traditional Japanese room, it was really nice with a lot of little details like pictures and fresh flowers. The staff was the most amazing, communicative and helpful. We even received a little gift of congratulations after we mentioned this was our honeymoon. Thank you so much! The place is really close to a lot of restaurants, convenience stores and the Shirahama beach but it is still in a calm street and we felt at peace there.
