Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

JapanRoom is very simple (though it was fine). It was clean other than a lot of dust on top of the fridge (where I had wanted to put some stuff). The room could do with a small light other than just the ceiling light.
Very near the beach. Simple accommodation at a good price. We enjoyed hanging out in the outdoor area. You can use showers and parking until 1400 on the day of check out which is convenient. Staff were friendly.

JapanOne of the other group of guests were a bit noisy and chaotic. One old guy was spitting loudly outside our room and at one point vomited in the entrance. This is not the fault of the accommodation, but left us feeling uneasy.
The outdoor shower facilities and the BBQ option in the evening.

JapanRooms are quite dated and very humid. The futon is really thin and not the best for those not used to it. However, given for the price it was completely fine.
Value for price is great, and location is just a few steps away from the beach. They let us use the outdoor facilities like shower and changing rooms even after check out, which was great and made it possible to enjoy the full day at the beach. I can’t thank enough the staff for being so kind in accepting my request to change dates of the booking on the same day I was supposed to arrive due to some health reasons. They were wonderful.

JapanThe room was too stuffy & you could not open the windows because there were things blocking the view. It was old but it was too dusty and my son is allergic to house dust so he was not comfortable.
The location was great. Good value during summer. BBQ was really good :)

JapanLightening in the rooms is poor. Actually, we had just a one light bulb on the sealing. Also, it would be great if there is a garbage basket for used tissue papers nearby the washroom.
People who work there are very friendly! They helped me by looking after my 3 y.o. child several times. For example, while I was busy with washing beach staff from sand. My son became a friend with them for 2.5 days of stay ))) Barbecue was delicious! I liked cosy atmosphere of the garden at night, when most of guests gathered together, enjoying dinner and communicating to each other. Parking is right close to the door! Very convenient.

JapanNot much to dislike. The room was a little old and not big, but we slept 4 comfortably. Fridge, TV, air-purifier, and AC all made for a more comfortable stay. Family with kids upstairs made a lot of noise bouncing around early in the morning. Probably better to have families with kids downstairs when possible. I would recommend a little more selection for alcoholic beverages as well.
The gentlemen that work there were just that - friendly and looking after your needs. We hadn't booked meals and went out looking but the places close by were either closed or full due to reservations. The staff were able to prepare a bbq dinner with an hour's notice (went shopping to get the food). The bbq is just under 4000yen with a drink included and worth it. A lot of food - possibly too much for the ladies. The outdoor seating area is very nice. It provides a casual meeting area for guests which is always a good time. The best part is the convenience of the outdoor showers and the one around the back which is surrounded by 'jungle' suits couples or a family (2 showers together). There are also indoor showers and baths for those who prefer that. The location was pretty convenient being a 5-min walk to the main beach.

I would like to give a special thanks to the owner of Churaumi. Nothing was a bother, exceptionally helpful even when I lost my room key. It’s a warm friendly guest house that is ideally located for the beach. I highly recommend staying here, it made my Japan trip. Oh and the outside jungle shower is wonderful!

Germanyremember to bring your own towels.
The guest house is super sweet with a great garden to hang out. Our room was quite big and we slept very well on the futon mats. We even had our own fridge. The guest house is easy to reach from the Izukyu-Shimoda train station. There is a bus pass for 1100 Yen for 2 days which was great to explore some beaches. 7/11 and family mart in walking distance and microwave / water boiler provided at the guest house. We had a great time and would definitely come again.
