8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It's a great location away from the busy life of the city. The lake is crystal clear and great to swim in though we did not see other swimmers. The rooms are small, yet suffice. I'll probably come back again.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
到着しても玄関の鍵は閉まっている、建物内は客室以外はクーラーなく猛暑の中サウナのよう。客室も長く締め切ってきて暑くなってしまってクーラーをつけても涼しくなりません。 宿の人の応対はぞんざいで、予約サイトからの料金のことで食い違いがあっても話し合いになりません。嫌なら出て行ってもらって良い、と言われました。怖い気がして10分で荷物をまとめて宿を出ました。二度と利用したくないです。
