This family run guesthouse is lovely. We were greeted with the biggest smiles and so much kindness even before we got out of our taxi. They carried our luggage to our room before explaining everything to us in English and giving our the best welcome (including a tour of the building). The room was perfectly adequate, super clean, and has all you need, including a balcony where you can sit, and a hanging line for wet clothes or swimwear. Breakfast was delicious, healthy and so complete! Great value and fully cooked from scratch! They helped us hire electric bicycles and were always so so kind and helpful, with anything we needed. Just so much positive energy and an amazing attitude and feeling! There is a rooftop with hammocks that guests can use, and it’s perfect to watch the stars at night, even if there are some lights from the town around the building. Also the location is perfect as it’s right in the middle of Kabira Bay, close to the beach, to all the restaurants and cafes and to any tours/diving you might book. We hired electric bicycles which made getting to other beaches super easy and convenient. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Everything was great.

Amazing place, run by a local couple. We stayed at the spacious apartment on the last floor and it was really good. I would recommend this place to anyone.

The suite is very nice and spaced with design features. There is only one bathroom /WC available but it is very well organized. Very close to Kabira Bay (reachable on foot in 5 minutes) and with many restaurants within walking distance. The staff is super supportive and kind. The breakfast is very good and taste and it is homemade by the staff.

Amazing location. Amazing staff. Amazing room and patio. Beautiful roof deck to watch the stars at night. Close to a great bakery for breakfast and good coffee around the corner. The owners helped us rent bikes and gave us great restaurant recommendations. Ishigaki was a highlight of our trip. Such a special place.

Best host i could ask for, the nicest people, always helpful and welcoming, best place to stay in kabira!

There was no atmosphere in the hostel, both nights I was there no bar (couldn't even buy a beer), and no restaurant. They close on Monday and Tuesday, I was not lucky. It made it hard/impossible to meet other travellers. The bathroom was very tiny but good water pressure.

The room was quite spacious and quiet. Well-located and friendly welcoming by the owner who took the time to share valuable tips. The breakfast is good enough as well. I was travelling alone and managed to walk to many places or take the bus to go to the Marina (to then stay at Iriomote)

Perfect location in Kabira bay. Lovely guys that run it. We were made to feel very welcome straight away and given good advice on where to eat and places to visit.

I wanted to snorkel around Kabira and I am glad I picked Lulaliya! Host Halu and staff Kousuke and Satoshi are friendly and want you to have a good time. Lodge is well located in town with walking distance to great restaurants, diving shop and the Kabira Bay. Hotel also has a restaurant so you can eat there if you feel like staying put after a long day. Had a great time!

Very nice location! Right across the street from Kabrina Bay. Super beautiful beach and view. The hosts were all so nice! It was very fun chatting together at night with other neighbors around the atea and other guests. The host even taught me how to play a traditional Japanese instrument. If you love chatting with local people and get to know each other in a nice small community, this is the place for you!

It was quite far away from supermarkets or convenience stores so make sure to stock up before heading to the accomodation.

The staff were great, both Haruki and Satoshi were very helpful and lovely. It was also very close to nice beaches and other cool things.

Make sure to label your stuff in the fridge, I had a couple of my (cheap) beer taken

The best part of my stay here was the evenings at the noodle shop Satoshi runs. Drinking beer and awamori with locals and other guests every night was one of the highlights of my stay on the island. The rooms were basic, but that's all you need. At this place, you won't be spending your evening in the room. The staff were able to give good recommendations for local sights, secluded beaches, and souvenir shops, which I made good use of, and were able to help out when I had troubles with the rental car. Would give the guys an 11 if I could...

Don’t have a kitchen and would be nice if have a sink, toilet and shower room at each floor.

The owner and staffs are nice and friendly and you can watch the sunrise from rooftop or enjoy mountain/sea view it’s very peaceful.

We loved the hotel! The location, the people, the room were fantastic! Thank you so much! I’ll definitely come back. The staff is so kind, friendly and caring. They helped us a lot, they even gave us their own bicycles for free when there were no bikes available for rent. I really want to come back.

The accommodation is very clean and comfortable. Satoshi and Hiro treated us like old friends and not like customers! This created a lovely community atmosphere even with other guests. There is a delicious ramen that I highly recommend on the first floor, there’s also a coin laundry machines which was very helpful. You could also rebt electric bikes to get around the area. I would definitely return when I am in Ishigaki.

The location was great and the facilities were really comfortable, I felt at home. Was the best staff I have experienced interacting with from all hotel stays in my life. They were personable and genuinely cared that I was comfortable. Whenever I had a special need they did their best to help.

While breakfast was very nicely prepared, it was just a Western style egg/sausage situation. I'm not sure if it is the same every morning, but if it was, I would get tired of that pretty quickly!

Very friendly and helpful staff (Kousuke). Clean room, and great food at the noodle shop. Lovely little place.

The staff were incredible! So friendly and welcoming. Nobody is left out! The room was very clean. Rooms are basic but the atmosphere and staff more then make up for that. The best beer I've had in Japan served in an ice cold glass.

Great and helpful staff and a super nice ramen Izakaya (run by them) at the premises. Very close to the beautiful Kabira Bay.
