Guest Reviews
- Yasuhisa (8/5): -
- Shouko (9/5): 静かにのんびりと過ごせた - スタッフさんの対応が良かった
- Junji (4/5): 残念 - 特になし 露天風呂の天端 壁との取合いにコケが着いていて、清掃してるのか疑問になりました。
- Michael (1/5): You will not be allowed to eat dinner at the restaurant - The views are really nice and its close to Gora station You can only have dinner there if you book it in advance during check in or call no online bookings like normal restaurants allow. Everything around there shuts really early. I tried to eat there, despite there being multiple tables available I was told I cannot book there now. I went to bed hungry and wondering why I booked here I could have eaten sandwiches from seven 11 and thrown newspapers over me and slept under the Gora underpass instead. Do “bettei” next time.
- Armando (10/5): Het was Fantastisch - Heel mooi, iedereen was aardig en alle functionaliteiten in de kamer werden goed uitgelegd
- KATSUO (3/5): - スタッフの対応が良かった。
特にレストランのスタッフは非常に印象が良かった。 部屋が極端に狭く荷物📦️を置く所が無く無理に置いたら移動に支障が出る。又トイレも極端に狭く入る前にズボン👖を脱いでから入っていた。過去国内だけでなく海外にも宿泊したがその中でも最悪だと思います。無駄な露天風呂等設置しないで部屋を重視した方がいいと思います。経営のポリシーが判る宿泊先でした。
- Ben (8/5): -
- Joana (9/5): - Os banos e todo o ambiente Pensei que seria mais facil de chegar ao hotel visto que sai de Tokyo
- AKIKO (4/5): がっかり、、、勉強になりました。 - とくきないです。 写真より狭く、お風呂付きの部屋でしたがかなり狭く入る気になれないし、お湯の溜め方も説明がわかりにくかったです。
- 云薰 (10/5): - 會說中文的男員工很棒!很細心!
- Weidner (6/5): Just ok for us - The scenery was lovely. The name booking.com calls the hotel is not the same name on the shuttle bus, so we ended up waiting a while and then taking a taxi.
- Marios (10/5): - Καθαρό και άνετο δωμάτιο σε πολύ καλή τοποθεσία από τον σταθμό Gora πολύ ευγενικό προσωπικό πλούσιο ιαπωνικό πρωινό όπως και νόστιμο βραδινό Kaiseki-dishes
- 廣山 (9/5): -
- Steven (1/5): Terrible and unhelpful staff for hungry guests. - The room was big for Japan standards and view was nice. Staff was EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL, while I understand there is a language barrier, it says a lot about a hotel when you pay 300 USD a night and mimic you are hungry and they do nothing to help you get food whatsoever, saying NO DINNER, NO BREAKFAST.
- 光奈乃 (7/5): 料金に見合った感じはあまりなし - お料理が美味しかったです!
スタッフさんも愛想がよく、素敵でした(*^^*) 部屋別の写真を見た感じ、ジャグジーが付いてるんだと思ったけど、有料貸切的な感じだった。
露天風呂付きだけど、外に風呂桶があってシャワーは別なので2度お風呂に入る感覚だった。
温泉街だから、温泉が出るものだと思ったけど普通のお湯、温泉特有の臭いもなくトロトロせず、、。
- Jonas (10/5): -
- Laura (8/5): -
- kaoru (7/5): 良かった! - お部屋から、大文字山の大の字が見れた。
8/16は花火も上がるそう!
食事も個別で食べられてバイキングじゃなかったこと。 部屋の露天風呂のお湯が温泉じゃなかったこと。
- Ferran (10/5): - Tot perfecte
- Paul (9/5): Beautiful & Quiet, Wish We Stayed Longer - Great hotel in quiet area with beautiful views from our patio with private onsen. Very easy to access; location was great. Clean and authentic. Friendly and helpful staff. Restaurants for dinner and breakfast well exceeded our expectations, with food I've never eaten, but loved. Presentation and service was amazing. We enjoyed the private hot tub we reserved, but did not use the public onsen, so cannot comment. Many amenities in the room, with kettle and tea. Water and espresso machine available in the lobby free of charge. Would have been nice to have instant coffee in the room, and maybe a vending machine or area to purchase snacks or drinks, but not a big deal.
- Alice (9/5): -
- 渋谷 (7/5): - 接客はとても親切で、特に料理の内容も満足でした。
値段よりお得に、感じました。 飲み物の値段が少し高く感じました。
- Eduardo (9/5): - Das pedras termais e do onsen noturno. Nada
- 井出 (4/5): -
- RINRIN (3/5): 部屋ボロい、便座グラグラでびっくりした、桶風呂カビててお湯ぬるい、床もしみだらけ、ほんとに掃除されてるかと、食べものも不味すぎる美味しいのは一個もないw8万でこんなホテルに泊まるなんてかもされたとしか言いようがない - 岩盤浴だけ良かった 部屋ボロい、便座グラグラでびっくりした、桶風呂カビててお湯ぬるい、床もしみだらけ、ほんとに掃除されてるかと、食べものも不味すぎる美味しいのは一個もないw8万でこんなホテルに泊まるなんてかもされたとしか言いようがない
- Laura (10/5): - Room was bigger than usual, and had all you would need. Great choice of yukatas, very friendly staff, amazing location
- Victoria (8/5): - Rooms are big and fairly close to Gora statiin but not rwally walkable with luggage A little bit tired looking. Kaiseki was tasty but presentation coukd have been upped a bit.
As a single guest, I wads banished to the teppan table, facing a wall and very hot flames multiple times. I was told the tables with a view were only for couples. Felt a bit discriminated
- Maria (10/5): Relajación en medio de las montañas - El personal sumamente amable nos sentimos muy cómodos, un lugar hermoso y la comida excelente. Quedamos fascinados y esperamos en algún momento volver a este mágico lugar
- eiji (7/5): -
- Carolyn (9/5): -
- Juliana (7/5): - The private bath outdoor
- 丁 暐騰 (9/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): Extremely relaxing thoroughly enjoyed - Beautiful relaxing small hotel. I loved staying here the facilities were great and the food was amazing thank you
- Alejandra (10/5): -
- tadokoro (9/5): -
- Abigail (8/5): -
- Clare (10/5): Relaxed and spollt - It was a prefect getaway on our busy trip. The food was amazing and the staff were exceptionally attentive. The room was lovely and the view was too Nothing not to like
- TAKASHI (8/5): -
- Andrew (9/5): A slightly retro, unique experience in the hills above Gora. - This hotel has a great view of the valley, and is in a very quiet town. The town of Gora is basically a transfer from the train to the ropeway, on your way up to Owakudani. It is very quiet because there just isn't much in the town, other than hotels and a few restaurants. The Hakone Open air museum is one train stop away from the town of Gora (or a 20 min walk from the hotel) and is worth seeing (has a Picasso museum). The hotel itself is older, but well maintained, clean, and very professionally run. We were well taken care of during our stay. The onsen is clean, and our room came with a soaking tub on the balcony. We had breakfast and dinner. The food was very good- every thing was fresh, and seasonal, and the chef was very creative with the dishes served.
The staff were polite and friendly. I don't speak much Japanese, so I appreciated they spoke basic English- they were able to get us checked in and explained all the food we were served. One needs to plan ahead when using the tub on the balcony. It takes about 45 minutes to fill.
The hotel is up a pretty steep hill- if you are not in decent shape, consider taking the ropeway to the first stop (from the terminal at the bottom) and exit to the left side- that cuts off about 2/3 of the steep walk.
- 宇佐川 (10/5): 素晴らしい - 綺麗でスタッフの皆様も親切でした
お料理もお酒もおいしかったです! 特にありません
- Yuma (8/5): -
- Gordon (7/5): Nice and peaceful - View is rather lovely. It is quiet and peaceful, and feels like a nice escape. The rooms are quite nice, with a good amount of space, and the ensuite onsen tubs are lovely to soak in with an outdoors view of the mountains. Located uphill on a slope – challenging to go and up down from with luggage or if one has physical disabilities. Besides breakfast and dinner, food and drink options are very limited on the property.
- Linsey (8/5): -
- Kieran (4/5): -
- emiko (9/5): - 大人専用だけあって静かに過ごせました
部屋に露天風呂があり景色を見ながら入浴できました
また夕食のコース料理も美味しく
目の前で焼いて頂いたステーキは最高でした。 大浴場の露天風呂が浴室からかなり離れていて寒かったです
- Matthew (8/5): Great private onsen stay, even if a little dated - The private onsen was great. Very comfortable bed Hotel felt a little dated throughout

- Anca (9/5): -

スタッフの対応が悪い。
フロントへの電話になかなか出ない。
- miyajima (7/5): - 景色、露天風呂、部屋の広さ 夜中にお湯が出なかった
- Kane (9/5): Beautiful views and great utilities - The room was clean, comfortable and great view.
The keiseki dinner was delicious, and the breakfast was good too.
The spa add-ons are great for weary travellers. I liked it all.

- Nadine (8/5): -
- Agnes (9/5): - Typisch Japanisches Nachtessen und Frühstück, sehr schön presentiert. Onsen im Hotel, war auch sehr erholsam. Ruhige Athmosphere, Bahnhof in der Nähe. Die Matraze war etwas härt.Keine Leselampe.
- HIROE (2/5): - お部屋に露天風呂付いてるにもかかわらず温泉ではない。
なぜ
- Karla (10/5): - Our stay in Bettei Koyoi was exceptional! We wanted to stay here for a night to rest and relax, and this hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was very friendly and accommodating with our requests, we were able to drop off our bags prior to check-in so we could comfortably explore Hakone. Additionally, our stay included a dinner and a breakfast, these two meals were amazing, some of the best food we tried in Japan as a whole. I'd highly recommend staying here if you'd like to relax, eat great meals, and spend some time in a hot spring overlooking the mountain. It was such a wonderful time. N/A
- Ana (8/5): -
- Timo (3/5): Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist eine bodenlose Frechheit - Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit und die Lage und Aussicht waren gut. Es war alles sehr alt und verwohnt. Ganz anders als auf den Bildern dargestellt. Das Bett war unbequem, man hat jede Feder gespürt. Überall waren Kalkflecken und das Outdoorbad war eine kleine unansehnliche Holzkiste. Außerdem hat es im Haus nach Altöl gerochen.
- Raymond (9/5): -
- TUNG LIN (9/5): -
- Giada (4/5): - La struttura sarebbe bella ma si vede che è tenuta male e con poca cura. La struttura ha molti problemi:
- Sia nella descrizione che nei messaggi privati della struttura si parla di un servizio navetta per raggiungere l’hotel. Non esiste. Pertanto devi arrampicarti per 15 minuti in salita con le valige. Il nome sull’hotel è diverso da quello di Booking e neanche i taxi lo conoscono pertanto non abbiamo potuto prenderlo.
-All’arrivo ci accoglie il receptionist che non parla una parola di inglese. Inoltre non ci ha fornito nemmeno una indicazione, né per il Wi-Fi né per l’onsen. Mi è toccato scendere più volte a richiedere ma alla fine è toccato fare da soli poiché non ti capisce. L’onsen è sporco e piccolo. La sauna di sassi è su prenotazione ma ovviamente il receptionist non lo aveva detto e quindi noi siamo potuti andare. La cena devo ammettere che era molto buona, anche se è stata servita in 2 ore a noi occidentali, mentre i giapponesi presenti venivano serviti prima. Nel complesso sarebbe una struttura carina ma l’inospitalità regna sovrana, almeno per noi stranieri. Assolutamente sconsigliato!! Segnalato anche all’assistenza di Booking che non si è degnata di rispondere.
- Laurine (6/5): - Bon accueil
Calme
Très propre et confortable La vue du bain extérieur donne sur des gros poteaux électriques
Soyez prévenus que le petit dej est typique japonais
- KOBAYASHI (7/5): -
- konno (7/5): -
- Cici (10/5): - What a beautiful area. Serene environment. Prebooking of hot stone spa and jacuzzi were easily done once registration online was complete.
- Bill (10/5): - Nice room, amazing view of the mountains and great food
- Mizuki (10/5): -
- YUJI (8/5): 普通 - 施設は綺麗に清掃が行き届いており、快適であった。
また、オプションの岩盤浴を利用したが非常に満足出来た。ウェルカムサービスのラウンジのワイン・スパークリング・スナックも非常に有り難かった。
部屋の冷蔵庫のドリンクも嬉しい。
女性スタッフさんの対応や受け答えなどはとても丁寧で良かった。 駐車場が狭く、他の宿泊者の車両と縦列で停める必要があるので、出来れば車両回送などのサービスなどで対応して頂くと気兼ねなく使えるかと思う。
- Miyuki (10/5): 大人の隠れ家 - 大人の隠れ家という言葉がピッタリで、内装や配色落ち着いた雰囲気と静かに時を過ごさせてくれるスタッフさんの会釈だけがとてもよかったです。 ないです
- Nicolas (7/5): Super nuit à refaire - Le petit déjeuner très copieux. Le personne est à votre écoute. Le onsen est cool.
- Wallace (10/5): -
- Kazuki (5/5): リピートは無い - スタッフの出迎え、見送り、清掃、配膳などは気遣いを感じて良かったです。ウェルカムドリンクもワインなど美味しかった。お風呂も源泉掛け流しで混雑もなく泉質も良かったです。 スタンダードのお部屋でしたが、もう少しリニューアルされた方がよろしいかと思います。食事はほとんどが美味しかったのですが、メインのステーキは焼きすぎ。残念でした。
- Wesley (7/5): -
- MISAENG (10/5): - どのスタッフもとても気持ちの良い応対でした。温泉の泉質もよく、掛け流しでツルツルになる系。建物はおそらく古いですがリノベーションされていたり、綺麗に手入れされていて気持ちよく泊まれました。
大浴場を出たところには無料のアイスがあったり、24時間コーヒーマシンが使えたりなど気遣いが感じられました。
朝ごはんだけたべましたが、土鍋ごはんと、鉄鍋の豚汁、ご飯に合う色々な副菜、とてもおいしく満足でした。
ぜひ今度は夜ご飯付きで泊まりたいと思いました。
- ASANO (7/5): -
- Anna (10/5): - This is a beautiful spot- the views of the mountains are spectacular, especially from your private bath on your balcony. The beds are so comfortable, the yukata are so pretty, and the food is delicious. Everyone who works here is kind and very helpful. I wish I could go back tomorrow!
- murano (7/5): 非日常 - 部屋の広さ 温泉が部屋にもあったらなーっと
- Marcel (6/5): Pleasant -
- Craig (5/5): This hotel can do a lot better for it's price. - I only liked the privacy of my onsen I got a king size with mountain view private onsen. There was an onsen but not private. I couldn't leave the blinds open as my balcony was facing the main roads. I couldn't see any mountains and the poor design of having the blinds anchor on the left side makes it impossible to open and close the blinds from the onsen tub. The only thing I really liked was the privacy of my onsen. Everything else was under valued including the size of my room. I've been far and wide, hakone was my 12th city on this trip. I've tried all sorts of food and your kaiseki was beyond underwhelming. I've stayed for two nights and your breakfast and dinner meals were too alike. About 90% exactly the same. That's a lazy chef. You guys should also warn customers that your hotel is deep in the mountain. The hike down and back up the hill is no joke. I'm used to speed walking 6 hrs everyday but that mountain was a nightmare. Beer cost additional 9$ a drink. I know drinks at other hotels in hakone are comped with the price. This place was by no means cheap for a 3 star but everything cost extra. You paid extra to have a private onsen but they charge you again per night for using the onsen. There is also an additional fee for the hot stone spa. Other hotels/ryokans in the area at the same price offers more amenities and complementarities integrated into the price. They are the same price as this place. You guys can do better for charging so much. You guys also ask for tips, I thought it was in Japanese culture that tipping is considered disrespectful. What's up with that?
- Kelly (10/5): - The staff were absolutely kind, helpful and the breakfast and dinner were also outstanding.
- Kelley (9/5): Superb - beautiful, peaceful view
- Christian (6/5): - A bit expensive for such old rooms. Weird dark stains on the carpet in the corners of the bedroom... The sheets were clean though. The food was pretty good but not as good as some ryokans in the same price range.
- Warren (8/5): Very good -
- Marc (9/5): Superb - The view from the rooms was great
- James (6/5): This property is not currently a great value - it needs a significant refurbish. - Fortunately the room and beds were fine, and featured a Frank Lloyd Wright stand lamp. The outdoor private balcony bathtub (which we paid extra for), was an old wooden box covered in mildew and not something we could take advantage of.
This property needs a serious refresh / update. The "onsen" is musty and very small, and the facility charges extra to use the jacuzzi and hot stones area. The dinner was trying to be high-end multi-course, but missed the mark with half of the plates. The lobby, dining area and onsen feel like they are from the 1970s.
The location is great, with easy access to the Hakone Ropeway.
- Rhea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Greg (7/5): Overall good and relaxing short stay. - Good size Japanese style room with private onsen. Room very clean and comfortable. Public onsen well maintained and a very relaxing experience. Front desk staff very helpful and explained all the available services and how to use the public onsen. On the whole the evening meal was a fun experience, however perhaps the customers could be asked how they would like their steak to be cooked and wait staff could gain more familiarity with how to serve the available drinks (the wine). But the staff at dinner were all very lovely and tried to explain things to us in English and gave us recommendations of what sake to try!
- Georgia (10/5): 10000/10, so romantic, relaxing and affordable. - Do yourself a favour and STAY HERE whilst in Hakone. If I could rate it 1000/10 I would. We visited from Sydney for 2 nights and have had the most incredible time. I really couldn’t recommend this Ryoken more!!
Location: Amazing location in the mountains, short walk from Gora station which is one of the main ones. The walk is all all steep uphill but Hakone is pretty much hills everywhere so it is what it is. The hotel has a super efficient shuttle service though so definitely use that especially when you arrive with your suitcases (although we walked a few times without our suitcases and it was only 10mins max). Shuttle runs 3 times every hour (when stayed there it was on the hour, 20mins, 40mins). Instructions for how to get shuttle are super clear on website.
Ryoken & Staff: So peaceful and romantic. The rooms were so spacious (bigger than Tokyo) and had everything you needed inside. Bed super comfy and great mood lighting too. Staff were so so friendly and accomodating, don’t speak much English but we’re visiting their country so that makes sense! You get given these adorable kimonos to wear throughout your stay and shoes.
Amenities: Super happy with amenities. Complimentary tea, coffee, happy hour drinks. They also have a private jacuzzi and bedrock bath you can book - highly recommend both. You can also book in a masseuse which I did too, they come to your hotel room.
Food: Oh my god I don’t know where to start. The food was INCREDIBLE. We had dinner and breakfast included with the stay. It was very traditional Japanese style so don’t expect toast etc. It is all so thoughtfully and mindfully created, the chefs are sooo lovely and the quality is insane. The courses included of around 7 dishes and it was such a pleasure being able to experience this food. I forgot to tell them I had a dietary requirement (my own fault), and the next night they absolutely catered for me it was so so sweet (give them a few days notice if you have a dietary!). Loved absolutely everything
- Travis (8/5): Very good -
- Mah (6/5): Pleasant -
- Deaky (9/5): Superb - Staff is very kind and helpful The parking situation that requires moving in and out for other cars in the morning/ evening.
- Michelle (5/5): Passable -
