基本荷物は預けられない＆疲れる

チェックアウト後荷物を預けてほしいと話をしたら、預けれないとの話。この話で時間がすごくながびき、ここに来るまでにも３日白浜観光していて疲れていた私はさらに疲れました。（ここはホテルじゃないとか、自分の知り合いのゲストハウスも預けれないという話や、よそのゲストハウスは部屋は男女混合だとかそんな話まで出ましたが、私にしたら男女混合でも全然平気なのでどうでもよかった） やっと話が終わってチェックインしたその後、荷物を預かってくれるという事になって、助かりました。 今まで海外でも国内でもゲストハウスを頻繁に使って来て、初めての経験ですごくくたびれてしまいました。 オーナーは掲載の場所と違う場所にもゲストハウスを経営しているとの事で、不在の事も多かったので、何かあれば電話をする必要がありました。 この両方のため、精神的にすごく疲れました。 （無人の宿泊施設が私にとってすごくストレスになります） 今までいろんなゲストハウスに宿泊し、楽しかったり、良い出会いがあったり、当然荷物は必ず預けられたので驚きの体験です（よそはコロナ中でも普通に預けてくれます） なのでよそと比較してうちはいいという話もよそを知っている私にしたら全然でした。 荷物を確実に預けたい人は、良く考えて予約しましょう！ ＊チェックインの前に荷物を預けに来たら、その時もオーナーはいませんでした。それでもなんとか預かってもらえましたが、鍵の関係でその場に居合わせた客に私が出るまでいてほしいと頼んでたようで、その客は出たいのに出れないとオーナーに言ったため、チェックイン時にその事も言われました。私がゲームしてたとか。（実際はしてません）５分ほど？荷物を預けた時、パソコンでチェックする事をしてただけです。それすら普通のゲストハウスならできます。その事までいろいろ言われました。 この書き込みは宿泊して２か月過ぎてからですが、 ２か月過ぎた今でもあの時のストレスが尾を引いているからです。その時怒鳴っていればここまでストレスを抱えなくって良かったのかもしれません。 ★荷物預ける事が必須な人のために情報として残したいと思いました。参考になればと思います。 ★あとは風呂の浴槽と洗面器が汚かったです。

女性限定ですが・・・

女性限定で男の子供もダメということでしたが、オーナーは男性でした。 てっきり女性の方が経営されていると思っていたので驚きました。 部屋に鍵はかかるようになっています。 同じ2階の向かいの部屋がオーナーの寝室になっています。 親切で対応がよい方です。 事前に知っておいた方がいいと思い投稿します。

The toilet and the house in general were not clean at all. We could not come back home later than 11pm, but the host just informed us about that when we arrived, telling that after 11pm we would have found the door locked. We would have liked to know that in advance so that we could choose another place to stay.

像家一样的地方，像朋友一样的主人.

Mr. Rinji is very friend, making you feel just like home.

He made great coffee and you will drink it from the cup he made. I make reservation of spa hotel next day, he even drove us there. Will miss him alot and will definate stay here again.

環境僻静！

原因因為此民宿只招待女生而選擇此處，但經營者，竟然是位單身中年先生，而且我们的房間亦没有任何門鎖，感觉没有什么安全感，而且位置亦於偏僻，不近海濱大街！

Homely guest house with a very sweet host

I spent two very nice days in this guest house spring 2016. It has a very homely feel to it and the host is really sweet. He is great at making sure you are comfortable at the same time as he gives you space and privacy. The rooms are comfortable and charming. It is really good value for money and makes a nice memory to your trip.

ゲストハウス経験者ならぜひオススメ！

2泊滞在しましたが快適でした。何よりも女性だけですし、1Fのドミトリー（2段ベッドx2）でしたが、ベッドの寝心地もたいへんよく、電源もたくさんあり、荷物もいろいろ置けますし、姿見やテーブルなども用意されていました。1Fはカフェ兼バーですが、共同スペースとして使わせてもらえます。ただし、騒がしいのや一般のお客さんが来るのは気を使うという方にはオススメしません。海外のお客さんが泊まる場合もあるので、ドミトリーやゲストハウスに慣れてないとちょっととまどうかもしれません。その場合は2Fの個室をオススメします。また、飼い猫がいるので動物が苦手、アレルギーがあるという方もご注意を。それ以外はオーナーは気さくですし、コーヒーもとてもおいしいので、ぜひそちらもおためしください。
