Guest Reviews

• Graham (7/5): Accommodation could be better for the cost per night, but dining is excellent! - Breakfast and dinner was very good with attentive staff none least because being there are only two Villas so very few people staying. They employ very good chefs making for an excellent dining experience. The Villas upstairs lounge was very spacious and comfortable plus the terrace had a fabulous outlook. The natural hot springs open-air Onsen was very good. Hotarutei was up until a few years ago only a restaurant and by building two villas on the properties grounds they now offer accommodation, but it's clear they are still going through a steep learning curve. The Villa we stayed in, Villa B, is a very spacious 2 bedroom one with plenty of space. However, there are issues such as the bedrooms do not have black out blinds so far from ideal for light sleepers. The fact I had to point this out to the staff and manager did surprise me and I do hope without delay they address the problem. Also not enough consideration to bedside tables, and draws for clothes. On our second evening we heard a large bang and the Villa shook. We thought it was from an earthquake but according to the manage it was likely something to do with the villas pump. There were also other issues that can easily be addressed such as providing clear instructions for non Japanese guests on how to use Aircon remote and other controls.

• Alice Y (8/5): - 日式早餐很棒！ 房間設計是很新頴，但感覺上安全設施不是很夠！
• Kristine (10/5): Superb service, property and location! -
• Gabriela (10/5): -
• simone (10/5): Perfect location, gorgeous food and the loveliest welcome - An absolute gem just a few steps from the snow monkey park. Beautiful villa , delicious gourmet dinner and the most caring and lovely staff to look after you. Couldn’t t recommend more!
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Sharon (10/5): Exceptional stay and a truly memorable one. Top class hospitality and food. - Very comfortable stay. The villa had everything we needed. The hosts were very welcoming and hospitable. The food was exceptional. Nothing. We loved our stay
• Vanessa (10/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): Highly recommended - Beautiful villa with a private onsen, with an amazing view of the mountains. Dinner and breakfast were very good. Location perfect for visiting the snow monkeys. Staff were very friendly. Overall a great stay; wish we could have stayed longer! Nothing!
• Theo (10/5): Luxury Japanese style - The staff Nothing, it’s perfect
• Jieh (9/5): - New and modern with warm excellent service . Food was exceptional too There was no public bath onsite
• barbara (10/5): -
• Eva (9/5): Wonderful stay at calm, minimalistic villa with superb service and excellent food. - Serene, minimalistic style villas suitable for families. The in-house onsen on the villa’s terrace is a great bonus, be mindful that 43 degrees Celsius water can feel quite hot, luckily you can add ice cold water. Extremely kind and helpful service overall, Joyce is a gem. Both Japanese style and continental breakfast are good, make sure to share your wishes for what you like to eat. The dinners were awesome, so many great dishes to try out and the freshest imaginable sushi. I warmly recommend a stay here. Please note that the villas face a road, which doesn’t have a lot of car traffic, but pedestrians walking towards the entrance of the monkey park. The terrace with the onsen is out of sight for those passing by, but the other part of the terrace felt a bit exposed. Please also note that our villa had steep stairs to the basement bed room, which might not make it suitable for families with small children.
• Ap0007 (10/5): Our stay at Hotarutei Villas was nothing short of amazing! Thank you!!!! - Our stay at Hotarutei Villas was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable and memorable—always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. The villa itself was stunning—beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly peaceful. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Whether we were soaking in the serene surroundings or enjoying the comfort of our room, everything exceeded our expectations. I can’t recommend Hotarutei Villas enough. It’s the perfect escape for anyone looking for tranquility, top-notch service, and a truly unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to return! Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Mark (10/5): Fabulous stay - highly recommended - Warm welcome from our hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Great location within walking distance to snow monkey park and local town. Well appointed and spacious villa. Excellent breakfast and dinner, the latter was in the form of a tasting menu so had the opportunity to explore Japanese cuisine that we wouldn't normally opt for. On our second night we had the place to ourselves so it felt very special. Nothing - everything was fabulous.
• Cynthia (10/5): Would absolutely recommend to anyone with high standards for food, comfort, design, and experience. - The whole experience from start to finish was perfect and seamless. Joyce was so fantastic and helpful and caring, the accommodation was beautiful and comfortable and well designed, the onsen was amazing, and the FOOD was truly exceptional.

• Terence (10/5): Excellent and one of the best places we’ve stayed in all our travels! - Omakase dinners and breakfast were absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. Location was very close to snow monkey park. Private onsen was a luxurious experience for us in the property itself. Nil
• Nicholas (10/5): A peaceful and rejuvenating stay with stunning views, a private onsen, and excellent hospitality. - Staying here was a truly relaxing experience. The private onsen was a highlight, complemented by the beautiful space and friendly service. The living room and patio offered stunning views, creating the perfect setting to unwind. The location was also ideal, being close to the base of Monkey Park and the bus stop. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

They truly made us feel like we were special. Nothing was bad!
