    The couple, who runs the place, is incredibly helpful and they spread a good spirit of openmindness in their hostel. Easy to feel well.

    Nothing.

    Yuki San is an exceptional host, after arriving earlier has no problem showing me the property and also gave me very useful tips about places around - where to eat, where to surf, and where to go onsen. Whole property has a really nice and friendly atmosphere as well as the whole Shimoda. Yuki also provides bikes, which moves the whole experience to a different level. If I return, I will choose All You Need guesthouse again. Arigato gozaimasu.

    The host is incredible. So friendly and kind. Perfect location to relax and have some peace and quiet whilst also being a 15 min walk from town and the train station.

    We were amazed at the hospitality at Guesthouse All You Need. Our room was very comfortable ( comfy beds and pillows and a great AC/Heater), the kitchen was well stocked and clean, and free coffee and tea all day. We loved the free bikes, gorgeous views and so many beautiful beaches. Our host was beyond helpful with any questions and he was just a pleasure to talk to. We felt like we made friends at this guesthouse and will definitely be back.

    Amazing customer service from Yuki. He was an absolute jet helping us with everything we needed, recommendations, questions on the Shimoda area and he even kept in hourly contact when we left Shimoda to help us with train services etc. Just went above and beyond. The property is in an ideal location, close to everything, clean, comfortable beds, welcoming and has a great vibe.

    The location is perfect! Just a short walk (less than 5 minutes) takes you to the beautiful Nabetahama Beach and many nearby attractions. The sunrise views from the room are absolutely gorgeous. For those who want to explore the area, the guesthouse offers free bicycles to borrow. There's also a fully-equipped kitchen you can use for free if you'd like to cook, and even a BBQ area for outdoor grilling. The bathroom, while a little dated, is clean and comfortable. The host, Yuki, is incredibly helpful and generous with his time and advice. He even assisted me with a luggage delivery service. His excellent English makes communication a breeze. True to its name, this guesthouse truly offers everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

    Great atmosphere inside the house and not a single problem with amenities. Near a nice walkway up a small bay and not too far from city center. And above all, a warm and friendly welcome. Would recommend without any doubt !

    There's no personal bed light lamp, and no apron in the kitchen. That's all.

    I loved everything about this! The guesthouse perfectly fits its name and concept: ALL YOU NEED. It really has all you need. I will be coming back for sure, not once. Its probably THE best guesthouse in all of Japan and i strongly recommend it to anyone travelling to Shimoda.

    It is quite noisy. You can hear conversations, doors closing, etc. It is annoying in the morning. You also have to pay for towels.

    The view was amazing! There is a convenient parking in front of the hotel. There was free coffee in the morning and the staff gave us tips and lots of recommendations.

    This was a perfect place for our trip in Shimoda. The host was very friendly and gave us a lot of information on restaurants and sightseeing destinations. Perfect location near the beach and not to far from the station. We definitely recommend.

    it's a little confuse to check in by yourself.If you are in trouble about it,contact the owner.

    warm and kind host family was hospitable to guests.However I misunderstood the bed space they offered to me, they allow to use the bed for rest.
