it was so bad and nice at the same time

I found this hotel to be the nicest one on booking.com, so I decided to stay here. The hotel and facilities look just as nice as they do in the photos.

I booked this hotel on early Feb and paid 21,177 ( Thai baht or around 88,000 yen ) on February 14th, but when I arrived on February 23rd, the staff couldn't find my reservation. Even though I showed them my confirmation and proof of payment, they still seemed confused. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I decided to go out for dinner and come back later. When I returned, there was a new shift of staff so I have to wait a bit again, and they showed me to a room on third floor. However, when we entered, it smelled like gas and didn't have a toilet. They said the toilet was across the hall, but after some confusion, we realized it wasn't a guest room but a private dinner room!!! We complained at the lobby and asked who arranged this for us, but nobody had an answer. Eventually, they took us to the correct room, but it wasn't ready yet, so we had to wait again. We asked for a partly refund due to the disappointment, but the staff couldn't understand English well enough to help us. When we contacted booking.com later, they said they couldn't assist us either. Overall, it was a bad experience, even though the hotel and staff were nice in the typical Japanese style

Te duur voor je verblijf, scheppen te hoge verwachtingen met foto’s op website.

Pas op voor wat je bestelt! Wij hebben voor 1 nacht betaald, waar je voor meerdere nachten met meerdere personen in een super luxe hotel kan verblijven. De foto’s op de website zijn voor speciale kamers en stelletjes. De familiekamers zijn ZEER basic. Het is dat we hebben genoten van het zeer vriendelijk personeel en de onsen. Maar dat was het ook. We konden ‘s avonds niet eten in het hotel. Moesten het dorp in waar bijna alles dicht was. Slaapmatjes op de grond waren dun. We hadden hoge verwachten aan de hand van de reviews en het exorbitante bedrag en het kwam helemaal niet uit. We hadden gewone bedden verwacht, bad op het balkon en kunnen reserveren voor avond eten. Koelkast deed het niet en uit de douche kwam een super klein straaltje waardoor je niet kon douchen. Ontbijt was redelijk. Genoeg keuze. Ook hier was het personeel super vriendelijk.

Zie hierboven. Oh en toen we op dakterras waren mochten we niet in de iglo’s kijken om te beslissen of we er wat wilden drinken. Als het ons beviel hadden we dat natuurlijk gedaan! Al met al weer een tegenvaller.

Superb

everything very well planned and managed. Option to book private Onsen was great. Staff is superb. And make sure that you book with dinner included in your booking as the dinner is just so good and an experience you won’t forget.

Everything was great. I think would be better if even the lounge is accessible to all guests.

What a wonderful experience

We loved the private bath in our room and because we chose a room with tatami mats and futons we we able to experience a more authentic Japanese experience. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The dinner was excellent but if you are not used to eating a HUGE meal get ready!

Make sure to bring a phone or IPAD charger with the outlet plug in. There are no USB plug in ports ( as this is a Ryokan I was prepared to forego some modern amenities)

A true experience of traditional Japanese hospitality and stay

Everything! The room, the food, the facilities and the staff - all exceptional. They also tended to our special request for vegetarian food very well. We especially enjoyed soaking in the hot bath in our room balcony while it snowed in town. Also, the private dining experience.

Perfect holiday. Would return if give a chance.

The service was excellent. Language was an issue as not many of the staff can speak English. But you can see that they tried their best. it was truly thoughtful service with always a smile.

It would ease communication if they could have some standard literature in English.

Exceptional

It's a WOW experience for us. The minute you walk into the hotel, the décor and the staff are so welcoming. The girls are so great and patient to answer all the questions and explain things step by step. The hot spring experience is also great. You have to try the dinner (upgraded) experience.

Romantic & Authentic

The staff was so helpful once we arrived, and throughout our experience.

Don't call to reserve anything, the language barrier is difficult (not all staff speak English). But once we arrived, the staff (who spoke English) were very accommodating!
