Good place and good location. ”
The quality and facilities of this guest house are really nice to staying there, compare what you pay. I really like one thing that you have your own sink in the room, so if you doing some simple cleaning then you can do it in your room. Also walking distance to everywhere is what I like.

One of the best places I’ve stayed in all Japan. Everything is clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly, the location is perfect and the hostel itself is fairly quiet so it’s very relaxing. I would love to stay again

Horrible ”
Have never met a more awful accommodation owner in our life and never want to meet again. The ceiling and walls of the room are so thin that you have to hear every single noise from a cough or a laughter. Especially, people should be aware of the extra "tax amount" which is not included in the price on Agoda (my booking confirmation described that the price already included taxes but it was not the case).

One of Kyoto's best!!!”
I loved everything about Rak kiyomizu! From a state-of-the-art security to approachable and English-speaking staff, to spacious rooms and clean CR and shower rooms, everything is perfect! Though the nearest train station is 10 minutes away, still, I highly recommend this posh hotel to my friends and to all travellers to Kyoto. It is also situated near a supermarket where you can buy some supplies. The hotel is also very near some of Kyoto's sought-after temples and shrines. Very quiet at night. You can sleep peacefully. In a scale of 1 to 10, I'll rate them 9.

Thanks for the post !! I am looking forward to seeing you again.
Stayed 4 nights. Quiet neighborhood. Will stay again.”
Rak Kyumizu is a small but extremely clean boutique hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood near Gion and Kiyomizu Dera Temple (within 10 minute stroll). Theres a bus station about 5 minutes away, and subway is about 7 minutes away. Junya the owner is very friendly and responds to messages fast (Facebook Rak Kiyomizu). Room is small barely room to move with 2 med suitcases but it was very comfortable. All amenites are provided but note that the Shower and Toilets are separate from the room (not a big deal, its just outside the door and its for individual use). Will stay again.

Best Hostel”
I love every bit of Rak Kiyomizu. The door is way too cool, the shower’s so big and the room is neat. It’s a plus that I love the concept and color of Rak. Will definitely recommend to my friends who will stay in Kyoto. ♥️

Very clean and cozy ”
Rak Kiyomizu was really clean (room and shared toilets) and it was also cozy. It served basic needs with water and coffee as well. The staff was also friendly and helpful. There was also a nice outdoor area.

Clean Hostel”
Eventhough the location is a bit difficult to find, but this hostel location is actually in central of Kyoto. The room is very clean and tidy. It is only walking distance to Kiyomizu temple, Subway station, and bus stop.

Thanks for the post !! Also please come to RAK KIYOMIZU if you come to Japan with your family. I am looking forward to seeing you next time. Thank you
A quaint a little lodge with good hospitality”
Stayed at Rak Kiyomizu to use as a hub to travel between Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. Overall it was a good experience and Junya is a a very accommodating host. Location is strategic and close to Kiyomizu-gojo station (convenient access to tourist-y places like Fushimi Inari) and just a 10 mins walk from Kiyomizu-dera.

Very Clean!close to major tourist spots!”
We will definitely stay here again when we go back to kyoto.we had a very short stay here,but loved everything about the hostel. Location was close to gion,kiyomizu-dera temple and nishiki market. There’s a nearby bus stop if you plan to go to elsewhere. We loved that our room is clean and the shared bathroom and toilet is too. Junya the owner of the hotel is very helpful with regards to recommending restaurants and places to visit.

Amazing place, hidden gem in Gion! Location is very close to grocery stores and main sites (Temples, shrines, geisha district). The rooms are big for Japanese standards. Wi-fi is strong. Owner is very dedicated at keeping this place clean. He also has a really nice play list in the morning everytime he cleans. We will definitely come back if we ever go back to kyoto as well as recommend this place to our friends. Ps. He even lent us an umbrella when it was raining. Thank you Junya! You are a very good host

Excellent!”
Place is very clean and comfortable. Junya provided very detailed instructions(videos) on how to get to the place from Kyoto Station. Security is state of the art. Was provided an email to unlock the front door as we arrived after 10pm. Toiletries were provided on both floors. They also provide free drinking water, they have a microwave and fridge for the guests. It was raining on our first day and Junya let us borrow umbrellas at no extra charge. There’s a cute cafe about 2-3mins walk from the place. Near a Family Mart and bus stop. Had to pay accommodation tax of 800yen and was provided a sheet explaining why. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends!

I love Kyoto, I love Rak Kiyomizu, I'm pretty sure to go back to this place!!”
Yes, if I go back to Kyoto, I'm pretty sure that I will stay at this property again. (+) It is located in the middle of residential area, it will be very quite at night (+) 5 mins. walk to bus stop (+) Have bath tube in the shared bath room, you can make your own onsen on it hahahaha. So cool! (-) The wall isn't so thick. Believe me, you'll hear what's happened on the next room

Clean Place!”
Pros: 1. Its very clean and newly constructed place. 2. Nice place not that far from potoncho alley and kiyomizu-dera. 3. Junya was accomodating but hard to communicate in English. Cons: 1. Beware because they charge you accomodate tax which is not stated. Staying 2 nights and was charge 1,200 yen. We taught it was included already for what we pay. 2. Toilet and Bath was common we taught that it was inside our room as stated when you booked. Overall we enjoy our stay in Kyoto. Peaceful place since it is surrounded by a residetial area. 50m away there’s a Market place.

Great location and nice space. The staff are very welcoming and happy to help. ”
Walls are quite thin so if you're a light sleeper it isn't a great option. Especially considering if your room is right next to the showers can hear everything (there were people taking showers at 2 am) so be prepared. Information provided on local hotspots is helpful and it's a great place to see some of the highlights of Kyoto from. The bike rental was also very helpful.

The owner can be easy to keep in touch. The video that explain how to go to the hotel, the direction is very clear. You can walk to bus station or Kiyomizu dera. Everything is good and valued for the money. Recommend!!

Great spot not far from Kiyomizu and the Gojo Keihan station. Friendly and helpful staff. Just make sure that your smartphone doesn't run out of charge if you are coming back after 9 p.m. as you will need it to unlock the street door!
