Reviews of Sparky’s House 2 stars

Clean and well equipped

Paying for luggage storage

Clean rooms, thought through amenities for comfort, very friendly personnel, great location - 5 min walk from ferry (Miyanoura), very comfortable electric bike rental. Some snacks and toiletries available at communal space. Convenient maps of island detailing restaurants, museums, buses, ferries available at reception.

Mattress was a bit stiff for my back.

Lovely place with lovely service

Great little guest house. Very nice personnel, very clean rooms, with basic but very much appreciated complimentary beverages when checking in and during stay. Good electric bikes rental.

I thought the layout of the space was cool. The tiny row houses get the most attention, but there is another house that has been sectioned off into different rooms for guests to stay in. I stayed in the main house known as House II. The space was very clean when I arrived. The host was very attentive to my arrival since I had some trouble arriving to Naoshima and was 2 hours late. It was also very convenient to be able to rent a bike at the property rather than a vendor on the main road.

My room was located on the first floor of the house. The issue was that I could hear every step my neighbor took when they moved across the space. And this neighbor moved around A LOT throughout the entire night. I’m a light sleeper so this was a big issue for me. I always travel with sleeping ear plugs just in case, and I had to break them out to sleep. So if you’re staying in the same room, considering bringing some ear plugs in case you have an annoying neighbor like I did. The bed was also not as comfortable as other beds I’ve slept on while in Japan. I think a mattress pad could go a long way on addressing this.

Simple clean

Nothing

Incredibly kind staff, they are superb. The Room was spacious with a common kitchen. Handy bike rentals make seeing the sites easy.

Cute, good value and had everything we needed and walkable to lots of restaurants plus easy to hire bikes. Definitely recommend!

Nice staffs. Comfort bed. Clean and nice decoration. I love that they put sketchbook and color pencils in a drawer in case you would like to do some art things. And they provided e-bike rental which is so convenient to me.

Nothing.

It was the loveliest stay. Super clean, e-bikes to rent (I cycled around the whole island easily in a day) and the staff were so welcoming. I struggled speaking Japanese but the staff speak several languages. The bathroom and kitchen come with lots of amenities and sweet extras to use as you wish (such as a variety of teas, biscuits, face creams etc). Plus its right down the road from the only convenience store, cute little cafes/restaurants and the amazing I Love Yu onsen. I felt like by staying here I was able to enjoy the island to the max.

It was super warm when I entered the room, so keep in mind that it might be a bit hotter in the summer. But after and hour of aircon, it was fine.

Easy walk from the ferry port, near (the only) 7-11 on the island. Rooms were clean with everything you needed.

The rate was too high but might be because it was Naoshima.

Clean, spacious, close to ferry, grocery and bus. Lots of snacks and drinks that were complimentary. Full kitchen for cooking and sitting area.

Nothing

Everything. The staff could not be more helpful and kind. The room was way beyond my expectations, close to a 7/11 which was so useful. As it also had an atm . . brochures handed out on site lonely planet guide. Gave my friend and myself a free lift to our next accommodation

Would have been nice to have fresh mil, but that really is all I could say

The property was handy to the port with a seven eleven around the corner. Restaurant s were walking distance and there were plenty of E bikes to rent at the premises. Staff were friendly and rooms were clean, comfy and well equipped with cooking facilities.

Bit confusing to find location as google maps took us to a cafe by same name as units.

It was 5 min walk from Miyanoura Port where we could rent an electric bike and a minute walk from convenience store.

Stand alone rooms are prefab houses with very minimal and cheap structure. Not sure if it was worth 45,000 yen per person (90,000 yen per room).

Great location , attentive staff, amazingly spotless

All good
