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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

界由布院的整體員工人數嚴重不足，需要服務的時候要等待很久，能以英文跟旅客溝通的大概只有一到兩人。 餐飲品質也很普通，家中一位14歲的成員晚餐被指定只能吃兒童餐，份量非常不足。香檳沒有冰過，服務的時候也未放在冰桶中。早餐不管是日式還是西式，份量都非常少，也缺乏變化。 休憩室中的飲料只有茶跟咖啡和水，也沒有提供任何點心。 唯一的優點就是山景優美，梯田風光很棒。但是旅館本身各方面的服務品質都有待加強。
