    How dirty the kitchen and shower room were. the walls are also a little thin, but the price makes up for it.

    the price is great. There is a microwave and kettle. the rooms themselves are nice and clean.

    The kitchen was so dirty(I felt like I needed to clean it before I could use it, however there was also not the basic amenitiesto clean a kitchen with). And it was clear the room hasn't been deep cleaned for a while as there where old socks and such behind the sofa.

    Very cheap, especially for a private room.

    Quite a few trade offs, but if the prive stays the same a comfortable stay even for a few nights I guess.

    It’s about an 15 walk from the nearest station, the house is rather old and relatively dirty. You get what you pay for, but it seemed as if the bathroom hasn’t been cleaned in months, and the rest of the accommodation was in a similar state. The area is very safe, but you couldn’t really lock the sliding door of the room, especially from inside. It didn’t bother me, but don’t expect much.

    You get a private room and the Air Conditioning was very effective. The owner of the accommodation replies on the messaging function but only in japanese, using google translator should suffice.

    The shared spaces were not clean at all. They did not even have hand soap.

    The place had a shared kitchen, bath and toilet. The room itself was not bad.

    Cockroaches both nights, one ran across my partners face while sleeping. Door didn’t lock. Room not enclosed fully so noisy. Dirty sheets with stains. I don’t believe the blankets get washed between guests. DISGUSTING fridge with so much grime and dust and food. Place has not been cleaned in a very long time. It was vile and not even worth the cheap price. Bathroom was dirty. I would never stay here again

    NOTHING

    Where do I start? The minute you approach the building it looks like a World War Two bunker it’s very depressing and does not fit in with its surroundings. When you go inside the first thing you smell is the damp and the mould and then you see how dirty the place is. The kitchen is unusable because there is no power to the hobs and they are very dirty. The fridge didn’t look like it had been cleaned in a very long time. I am a professional cook and I am sure you would get sick from using this kitchen. There were many bags of rubbish on the balcony that had been there a long time and would attract vermin. There was a lot of broken glass on our balcony with a broken door. The lock for our room was not sufficient and could easily be opened from the outside. We couldn’t use the air conditioning because it was full of mould. There was mould everywhere on the ceilings. I have dust mite and mould allergies and as a result I am now sick from spending six days in this hell hole. On day one I asked the host to do a proper clean and it was not done properly. She told me that the standard was reflected in the price but that was irrelevant. No one should have to accept this level of poor service and bad attitude regardless of the price. Why are accommodations like this aloud to be open to the public. They are a health hazard.

    This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed in but even though the bathroom was disgusting the shower was hot and had good pressure. Self check in was easy.

    * No amenities whatsoever (towel, washing machine [...]) * We don't have to (and may not have the chance to) meet the owners. No contact between guests and them (him, her ?). Nobody there for advices then * Some humidity smell and stuff all over the house, stored behind curtains. Overall, the place's very very cheap, so those 'problems, don't reaaly matter ^^'

    * Not far from 谷山 station, easy to find * The bathroom's too cute ^-^ some old japan movies vibes there * Bed was very comfortable * everything you need to cook your meals is available in the kitchen * Wifi signal's very good

    As other reviews have mentioned, it's pretty dirty for a Japanese accommodation but totally acceptable to westerners

    The price is amazing. There is a discount grocery store and excellent ramen shop around the corner

    The building is old, the are is not very nice and because there is a construction next door the facilities were covered in dust.

    The price.

    Definitely pay for what you get, a classic cheap stay, wasn't very clean. Definitely not the worst place I've ever stayed in though. Thin walls, (with stains on them), the toilet locked itself shut, no towels etc. But an a amazing price, I actually kind of enjoyed it in a funny kind of way! Bit like staying in a student house.

    Price. Staff were helpful. Price again. The mattress was comfy.
