MY LODGE Naoshima

Good

This is a review of the Peak Cottage of My Lodge. It is very different from the main building and there has been lengthy descriptions of this cottage on the website. But they don't prepare you for the reality. For the price you pay, you get the most basic room smaller than a youth hostel. The separate bathroom has no proper door but is slatted, which means it does not stop wind or cold coming in. This maybe fine in high summer, but early spring with a cold snap? You will be on the toilet shivering. To make things worse, there is no hot water coming from the washing tap. I know about the limited shower time, but I was not prepared to wash my hands in freezing icy water every time after using the toilet. The steps they warned you about is steeper then expected, I would not suggest taking luggage more then the size of a cabin bag. I am not sure why the hotel sell this cottage at the same price as their rooms. In the cold weather it is almost uninhabitable. We did have dinner and breakfast. Food is all western, which seem to be normal on the island. Dinner was fine but breakfast was not very good. It is a weird combination of tomato soup, salad, kind of a piece of toast and kind of full English. There isn't any condiment of any kind, not even jam or honey. We loved the island and understand we have limited options of places to stay. But charging this rate for the Peak Cottage feels like we have been taking advantage of. I have since complained to both the hotel but received no

Staff is terrible, we asked about lunch they replied that they are starting to work from 6pm, we came after 6pm they replied that we don’t have reservation and they will not provide food for us, we been tier after 6h traveling, also my wife was cold, we asked transfer to some restaurant, taxi they refused us to help they said straight forward walk… outside was only 4C, my wife left w/o dinner. Also terrible access to hotel, you have to clime to steep hill will luggage, no shuttle service. Staff is like from another galaxy, manager refused to meet and talk

We had a separate room unit at the hilltop with our own sauna. Unfortunately the bathroom was apart from the room and very cold with no heat. There weren’t kimonos so we had to dress to use the toilet.

Very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Property was great and the room was also spacious and clean! The only complaint is that the beds were very uncomfortable and hard.

The staff were very nice and helpful during my stay here

Unique spot near Miyanoura port area. Facilities are incomparable! We stayed at Wenger House, a separate 2-bedroom apartment, living room and fire inside! Private sauna inside! Great for a family, comfort and privacy.

Beautifully designed. Lovely views. Terrific food. Impressive and thoughtful service with very kind staff.

An amazing place just outside of town. loved it

Amazing views. Cute location 10 mins walk from ferry

Great stay, mini sauna with exterior bath is fantastic. Interior doors etc are mostly sliding so don't expect privacy. Front door lock is very "sticky". The house is a bit up a hill, but you get a very nice view for the effort, great stay.

Very good location and view. Minimalist muji design

We had a great stay at My Lodge Naoshima. It’s a simple and clean environment, the superior rooms facing the sea, with balcony was wonderful to see the sunrise every morning.

Nice place. would be good if they can have pickup service

Charming space in Naoshima , walking distance from the Port and from Chichu Museum and Benesse house …food service was excellent. Have pijamas for rent, not free as most of Japanese hotels

Charming lodge with great views and a lovely dinner. Just what we hoped for.

Long hike up to this cool hotel. Good restaurant and clean modern design. The room was sparse but comfortable.

Breakfast was delicious. Consider dining at the restaurant because there are not many options around.
