Daikyo Engetsuto Villa

Parking was terrible, and Google Maps gave poor directions. Don’t drive around behind the place. There was trash on site.

I had a really good stay. The place was great, the house was excellent, and the rooms and amenities were top-notch. The one thing that made me a little sad was the strong cigarette smell in the rooms, even though the listing says smoking isn’t allowed.

I’ve stayed at Airbnb places for over 10 years, and this was the most difficult check-in I’ve had. The registration process was incredibly complicated. I had to upload everyone’s passports and fill in extra forms with ages and occupations. The host was demanding and stubborn, and only replied when they felt like it. Even after I’d gone through all that, they kept saying more information was needed, including different phone numbers and full addresses for everyone. In the end, they told me to cancel the booking myself, by which point there was no refund, and their attitude was awful. The view was beautiful, but the pool was tiny, dirty, and practically unusable. I politely asked the host if someone could clean it the next morning so we could use it in the afternoon. They replied much later that it was cleaned regularly, which didn’t resolve the problem. There’s no upstairs toilet, so getting to one at night is inconvenient. The whole experience was incredibly frustrating.
