What a horrible experience we had

This hotel is a disappointment, especially considering its price and the expectations we had. The service at check-in was negligent, and overall, it felt as though the staff didn’t care about us at all. Here are two of our numerous disappointments: 1. We understand that dinner is part of the package and can’t be avoided. However, why should we be limited to just the early dinner seating at 5:30 PM (even though there’s a second seating at 7:30 PM), which affects our other plans? This caused us to miss our dinner without receiving a refund or credit. 2. We know the restaurant serves only a set menu. But both my wife and I are restricted from eating certain dishes—some of which can even be dangerous to us. I was surprised we weren’t asked if we have any allergies or dietary restrictions. I was even more surprised to hear our server’s response to our inquiry about it: “It’s our hotel’s policy NOT to ask our customers if they have any allergies or preferences.” This statement encapsulates our experience at this hotel. Never again.

Amazing family getaway

Amazing property and service. Although rather costly, the sumptuous breakfast and dinner which were both included, made it excellent value for money. The best place to stay if visiting Yufuin for a couple of days.

Below average experience in high price onsen. I booked a room w/private onsen bath but it’s only a tub placed at room balcony. Their outdoor public bath has no views but faces a small elevated yard. Course dinner Food was not too surprise, sitting in open top office cubic divided tables so it was very noisy from tables next to us. Overall I’ll say it feels like a Holiday inn trying raised up to a pricey higher star hotel.

Miss many key aspects of a traditional ryokan

Lack of many amenities you would expect from a ryokan. The common area is rather small as well. We stayed two nights and the western breakfast they served were completely identical which was disappointing. Public bath is lackluster compared to many ryokan we had stayed.

Be pampered

Service was impeccable from the moment we arrived till we reluctantly bid it farewell. In between, we were treated to serene views of the fields, soothing baths, comfortable bed and visually appealing and delicious dishes at dinner and breakfast.

I stayed for two nights. Everything was excellent such as ambience, view, food. One thing that needs improvement was that the staffs need to know how to introduce the food. I’m allergic to taro and there was one dish with different food. The menu said one of them contained taro but I couldn’t tell which one has taro so I asked the staff and the staff pointed to the wrong one and I only noticed when I almost took it. Otherwise the stay was excellent

Best resort ever with amazing staff

It was my first time at a Hoshio Resort and i was so amazed and I can't give you enough stars! Resort itself was super zen and amazing. It was perfect place to relax and enjoy Japanese bath, food, and massage. Staff was also beyond the moon! We had to put on snowchains on our way out because it was snowing and we were struggling when staff (Kuroiwa) came out and helped us with the hard work. Thank you so much again.
