Kerama Backpackers

We really appreciated the Hostel itself with its facilities e.g. kitchen, shower, laundry, toilets and common room. We slept in a 4-person room on futons which was actually quite nice. The majority of the staff was really friendly and helpful.

The single aspect that strongly annoyed us all was the owner who did not seem to welcome us at all. He was cold, direct and nervous. No hesitation to give a complaint. The town unfortunately did not offer much.

This property has everything you need in the kitchen and free use of the washer and dryer is great for the beach! The shuttle service from the port and to the beach is also amazing!!

I had a very great stay at this hostel. Everything needed was provided, the staff were incredibly helpful and nice. They helped us with a lot of things like transportation, reservation, etc… The place is not close to the main beaches by walk, but there is a free shuttle at 8:40 am that brings you to Aharen or Tokashiku beach for free. The value for the price is really good, you can really enjoy the island for cheap! The hostel in itself was very nice and calm, the facilities were okay. We stayed 5 nights and we really felt good. It’s in a village so if you need ro go to the restaurant or shop at grocery store you can do it by 10 min by walk. Also Tokashiki port was very close and you can get any buses or ferry pretty easily. Thank you so much for the stay ! We will comeback

If you don’t take the shuttle at 4pm you have to go back to the hostel by walk from the beach (30-40min) So if you want to enjoy sunset or dinner near Aharen you have to organize yourself.

The shared dormitory was a cool but I did sweet the first couple of hours of sleep, then the temperature got ok.
