A retreat like nowhere else.

What a surprise and delight to arrive at this exclusive and secluded spa- retreat outside the beaten track. Wonderful and attentive service, comfortable rooms with hot-tub, a separate spa with treatments and hot water pool - and not to forget the exquisite japanese inspired cuisine! Thank you, Chef Hitoshi Kagawa.

8/10 Very good

1. No shuttle bus 2. No pocket with the in-house clothes for inconvenient 3. Provided wooden sandals are too noisy and slippery when walk in outdoor wet wooden floor 4. Too many step ups and down inside the room, dangerous 5. No place to have drink and or watching news at night
Ka Yip Andrew, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I like the hot spring in this property. But there are many areas this property is very poor design and managed. 1. Restaurant is not providing enough foods. As the high priced property, there is no food available while I stayed there. There is only drink in the room, no snack, no food in this property . Restaurant is closed and providing no food at all. I have to wait when they are opened. I will suggest future visitors to bring their own food while stay this property. To be hungry at that rural location is not good vacation at all. 3. Not safe to stay. My husband failed down in the stairs in the room. There are many stairs in the room. The black color make room so dark. The elevator is more like ghost place. In this property, everywhere is dark and black color. I don't like to stay in such dark place in my vacation. Overall we feel it's not good vacation for us at all. We were hungry with no food service and worry to fail in the room all the time.

4/10 Fair

I spent two nights at Hoshinoya Guguan in a Feng room. The hotel was accommodating, converting the beds from three singles to a king and a single for us. Regrettably, despite its stunning location in the mountains, the resort doesn’t justify its high rates. I’ve visited other hot springs resorts, and, unfortunately, Hoshinoya Guguan doesn’t measure up. Additionally, there’s ongoing construction nearby, which is incredibly loud. The noise from the banging and machines disrupted the peaceful setting, forcing us to stay indoors rather than enjoying the outdoors. For those interested in the onsen, it’s worth noting that the public hot spring is open only from 6-10 a.m. and 4-10 p.m. It closes for cleaning daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which seems impractical. Ideally, cleaning would occur overnight to not disrupt daytime use. The dining options are quite limited. Dinner at the restaurant was underwhelming with bland food, and the courses arrived too quickly, making us feel rushed. Breakfast is available from 7-9:30 a.m. and lunch from 12-2 p.m., offering narrow time frames for meals and very limited menu options. Missing the breakfast window means waiting until noon to eat. We were glad that we did not take the meal plan. In summary, the experience doesn’t live up to the price. Significant improvements are necessary to justify the cost.

10/10 Exceptional

一级棒的酒店。餐特别好吃，早饭，晚饭，会席，房间点餐，都非常好。餐太好了！房间也很好，宽敞，私汤也非常棒。酒店员工服务也很好。几点不足：1）房间内的榻榻米有一个二十厘米的高度，拌了我一个跟头，腿摔青了。2）酒店没有正规的洗衣服务，但服务员可以帮助拿去洗，也不要钱，但我还是有点奇怪这么高级的酒店居然没有洗衣服务。3）酒店的地点确实比较偏僻，周围基本没什么东西，驾车到基本比较热闹的地方，要一个小时。不过这个见仁见智吧。总之，这是一个非常好的酒店，绝对值得。
