- どらえ (8/5): - 自分の都合で気にせず動けた点 玄関開錠が朝5時なのでもう少し早めてほしい
- Yuan Ling (10/5): -
- Lingna (10/5): - 很棒的住宿環境
- Daniela (9/5): - The hotel was clean inside, comfortable bed, bedsheets impeccable, placed in between the mountains and the river crossing by. Seeing the hotel from outside given me a bad feeling , a little bit old and dirty. But as I said inside we had all we need. Overall not a bad hotel.
- Jennifer (5/5): Nice place. - It was central and quiet. There no staff.
It was mentioned that their sister hotel’s facilities were available to use. Not so. Even though they were helpful with information, they treated us as though we were some lower class rubbish and wanted us out of the building. Not so nice.
- Cheng-Sheng (9/5): -
- Phillip (5/5): Yeahhh nahhh yeah - Good views, good location, Onsen in the hotel No private shower in our room, had to use the public shower. Didn’t feel super put together, definitely felt tired and aging for how much we paid
- Dongmei (7/5): -
- 坂井田 (7/5): -
- Martina (6/5): - Krásný výhled z pokoje na řeku a skvělá lokalita. Měli jsme problém se ubytovat - nefunguje jim skener pasů. Není pro citlivé povahy. Pokoj nevoněl vábně - celou dobu jsme větrali. Povlečení, které nepokrývá celou peřinu jsem viděla poprvé.
- Man Wa (5/5): -
- takateru (6/5): -
- miak (8/5): Great value for money, nice location, and great staff - The onsen was great, and i stayed in a room without an attached bathroom, but just a short walk to the onsen so it was great!
- ANJO (7/5): - バス停から近い。温泉が良かった。 古いので仕方がないかな。
- hiroko (7/5): -
- Yuta (8/5): 部屋からのロケーション良かったです。綺麗でした! - 安くて泊まりやすかった 自動チェックインがやりにくい

- Ya ju (9/5): 房間出乎意料的簡潔,對於短暫停留的旅客是很好的選擇 - 浴場 尚可
- SATORU (8/5): コスパ良し - 熊野本宮より近く、静かな場所。 お酒の販売機がほしい
- Sumire (6/5): - 特になし 7000円の割に設備やサービスが低め
個室ありのドミトリー宿と思った方がいい(ドミトリーにありがちな各種フロントサービスはなし)
- Ken (7/5): -
- Katakura (8/5): - 温泉♨️と景色がとても良かったです。
スタッフさんの対応も素晴らしいです。 大浴場のドライヤーがかなり古く清潔感が無かったので残念でした。

- Alfredo Navarro (6/5): -
- Lucy (7/5): - The room was very cosy
- tomoko (8/5): - 昨年も利用したので、部屋の大きさは把握できていたため、今回は2部屋取ることができた。
布団も清潔なシーツが掛かっており、安価な割に十分と感じた。 今年からみどりやと別運営になり、食事できなかったことが残念だった。

- HUI PIN (7/5): 走熊野古道周邊路合適的住宿。 - 從湯峯王子或本宮大社走路或坐車過去都很方便,走中邊路合適住宿,房間面向河川風景讚。 房間清潔度有待加強,有一點霉味。

- Dani Manrique (8/5): - The accommodation isn’t bad. It’s simple but effective. The river views are very relaxing and beautiful. The self-check-in system was confusing and complicated, especially if you had more than one room, as was my case. The onsen was good. In the area, there are only a couple of restaurants and a bus stop.
- Marcela (7/5): - It was ok, very specific athmosphere. Indoor public onsens are ok, separated women and men. Bed was without mattress, therefore bit uncomfortable, especially if you do not like hard surfaces. But place looked authentic and room was nice! We enjoyed views outside the room, very spectacular. bed (mattress)
- 山崎 (5/5): 夕食に出かけた処が親切で最高! - 風呂が大変よかった。 チェックインの手続きが分かりづらい😖ゆ
- reiko (10/5): -
- Beate (6/5): - Super Transfer, sehr hilfreiches Personal bei Problemen Check in am Automaten
- Stéphane (1/5): À fuire, et ne vous retournez pas ! - Pas grand chose surtout pas la direction. Pas conseillent. La direction de l’hôtel n’est pas conciliante avec les randonneurs. A fuire absolument pour les randonneurs et pour les autres aussi.
Il y a tellement d’hôtel et de guesthouse de qualité dans la région qu’on peut éviter celui-ci.

- chin jui (1/5): 糟,毀壞旅行回憶 - 價格便宜 1.無法共用姐妹館設施,建議改名,叫川湯或誤導。
2.澡堂泡澡處旁邊磁磚發黑發霉,不敢進去泡。
3.房間實際比照片破舊。
- HSIN LIANG (9/5): 住宿位置及溫泉都很棒,房價也合理,很好的住宿體驗! - 酒店位於河邊,房間也是面河,一早就能看見河景,真的是賞心悅目! 為自行於機台辦理入住之方式,系統操作如能增加說明,會更快入住!
- keiji (1/5): 最悪 - 朝日がきれい 無人チェックインが不便、それを説明しようとしたら、隣のみどりやのひろさきさんにクレーマー扱いされた
- Stephen (7/5): - It's in a good location for catching the bus to Koguchi in the morning. The view of the mountain across the river from our window was lovely. I don't really like the check-in machine, and there were just no food options, as the vending machines are just for drinks. No breakfast for us, but to some extent it's our mistake for not planning ahead more.
- Guest (2/5): -
- Mieke (8/5): prima - het moest eigenlijk allemaal via een machine, inchecken etc maar gelukkig was er ook een vriendelijke mijnheer die mij assisteerde ! net
- TAKEO (8/5): - 温泉 素泊まり専門としても、軽食(パン)の自販機が有ればよかった。
- 宥嘉 (8/5): -
- Eli (1/5): - Avoid this place while you can... Price is affordable, but the smell of smoke is everywhere. It's insane This hotel should be closed for healthy purposes. Door was open when we arrived. Disgusting and unless you are a smoker it is impossible to take a normal breath.
- Annie (8/5): -
- Gregory (9/5): Ancien sight, its a must stay - The location is excellent, You will enjoy it the most in december Jan and February.
Indoor onsen good size. Robes provided. If you hungry you have to walk further as there is no shop or restaurant near the hotel. Either cross the tunnel or walk towards the bridge.
Hotel kitchen might be available for breakfast Automatic checkin process was a bit confusing, but there is a telephone beside the machine and they help you right away.
- 佐藤 (3/5): -
- Laurent (7/5): Bien ! - La simplicité Les tatamis trop durs
- Swani (10/5): the staff are extraordinary, more than willing to help out and able speak English - onsen is lovely the cleanliness of the room
- Csaba (8/5): -
- Annie (8/5): - Même si c’est un enregistrement dans personnel, ils ont tout réglé facilement. Merci. Les informations étaient claires.
- Anna (7/5): - Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit sehr schönem Blick auf den Fluss, Pluspunkt: ein kleines Onsen in der Unterkunft. Man schläft eher hart auf Futons auf Tatami-Matten, was uns gefallen hat, aber das ist vermutlich nicht für jeden. Tipp für die Selbstregistrierung mit europäischen Namen: Vorname und Nachname ohne Leerzeichen eingeben. Im Badezimmer wäre ein Haken o. kleines Regal hilfreich. Uns hat unser Zimmer sehr gut gefallen, aber auch dort gab es wenig Ablagefläche.
- Hsiu Mei (1/5): -
- JUAN (6/5): - El kimono y el onsen. La cocina no tenía ni un triste grifo ni utensilios de cocina. Poco sentido comer si no tienes ni agua ….
- Chun Wai (9/5): -
- keisuke (2/5): - スタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれて良かった。 入口チェックインの機械で名前又は予約番号入れても受付しなくて、時間がかかった。
一番辛かったのは、部屋のエアコンをつけたら、送風口がホコリの山でエアコンを使わずに過ごした。
これが一番残念でした。
- Chen Chi (8/5): - CP值高
- Benoit (4/5): - Nice location, near Kumano Kodo. Convenient to go hiking, if you have a car, and close to the river Self checking hotel, no human contact.
Windows cleanliness not good at all.
The hotel needs a good renovation
Small rooms.
Disappointing for such a touristic area. Many visitors in this area, so it should be easy to fill it, as soon as it elevates a little its standards.
- SEIBI (7/5): -
- Joyce (7/5): -
- kyoken (5/5): - 离公交车站近但又很安静。
临河边。 自助check in机器故障护照扫描不能。打100号内线电话始终无人接听,太过分了这服务!好在有个会中文穿浴衣的女孩也不知是不是酒店员工帮忙check in成功了,足足等了十几分钟。
夹脚拖鞋又硬又紧很难穿!!!
隔音很差,老旧铁门关门声很响。
- Melanie (8/5): Basic hotel, great value, perfect for a one night stop while hiking Kumano Kodo - Great basic onsen hotel by the river in Kawaya onsen. Laundry facilities and small onsen. Staff were really helpful answering my questions before we arrived. Check in process was lengthy, we needed some assistance. Property could use some updating, perfect for a single night stop though.
- Liu (7/5): - 好立地 浴場の脱衣スペースは水で床が滑りやすい
- Michal (8/5): - Dobré a levné ubytování v blízkosti Hongu. V místě veřejné onseny i společné horké koupele. Pokoje a vybavení starší, ale odpovídající ceně.
- Luke Hsieh (5/5): 適合只想泡溫泉的人 - 大概除了大浴池之外,還有面對河景、山景外,幾乎沒有優點。 到才知道他們與川湯みどりや分開經營,不僅無法過去用餐(店員告知連自費都不行),連辦理check in都改採自動機器,有問題詢問,還得另外打電話等待員工珊珊來遲。房間只能算非常普通,浴廁也是一般整潔,牆壁都有斑駁、掉漆,床鋪十分硬,所以5點多就起床,搭6點車子返回田邊了。非常建議大家住本宮大社附近或者直接回田邊或新宮比較實際。吃飯超級不方便,如果沒有交通工具,建議從本宮大社買回或直接吃飽再回。如果想住,建議到另一家みどりや比較實際。未來有機會再走熊野古道,應該會考慮住別地方,或者公車返回了。

- MARIA EUGENIA (5/5): -
- Mie (8/5): 満足しました - コスパが最高
温泉に入って疲れがとれました 特にありませんが、インターネットでは、シングルで借りられるお部屋が少なかった
- Naoko (6/5): -
- Paolo (8/5): - Posizione e onsen Pulizia
- MAYU (7/5): 温泉を楽しむ - 温泉がとても良かったです 2人で利用するには狭いと感じました
- Richard (8/5): -
- Baur (2/5): i felt uncomfortable the entire stay here - the view into the green, staff helpful it was really dusty, dirty, moldy, stinky. felt like a prison and the so-called onsen was a mould bath. the rooms are too small for 2 people, to open a suitcase we had to put the mattress up against the wall. would not recommend at all
- Karen (7/5): - Good alternative on budget. Crazy check-in system. Could have more than just microwave given that limited food options. Some cutlery and crockery would be nice.
- tsumoru (5/5): -
- Yang (8/5): 需使用自動報到機,住址導航至山水館,需再走約200米, 容易分不清 - 風景美麗,有大眾溫泉浴池,舒解ㄧ天走路的疲勞
- Natalia (10/5): Fantastic place ! - Wspaniały malutki Onsen, na użytek gości. Pokoje czyste, z pięknym widokiem. Śliczne szlafroczki do Kąpieli.
- Alexis (5/5): - No restaurant around, no one to talk to at the reception...
- gernot (8/5): - Das personal war zuvorkommend und hilfreich mir eine 2 Nacht zu ermöglichen. Das Zimmer bedarf einer Renovierung. Der Tisch war abgebrochen.
- Yun Jia (8/5): - CP值高的溫泉旅館,提供免費洗衣烘衣機,沒有早餐服務,但附近有間餐廳超好吃,還有素食餐。
- 大瀬 (3/5): 料金は安いです - ロケーション 部屋の狭さ
収納も全く無し
- Makoto (5/5): -
- Kazu153 (10/5): バックパッカーにおすすめ - 安い。 自動チェックインが非常に使いにくい
- miyuki (5/5): 安く素泊りするには良い - 川湯温泉は有名なので泊まってみたかったから、場所も良く、値段は安く、良かった。
ベットではなく、すこし高い畳の台の上に布団を敷くタイプで、畳の上で荷物を広げたり、くつろぐことができた。
布団もすぐ敷ける様にセットしてあって楽で良かった。 無人チェックインの仕方が難しく、一つ一つ登録するのも時間がかかって大変だった。
ドアを開ける時に壁にドアノブがガツンとぶつかって壊れるかと思った。
かなり古い建物だった。
- Ashley (5/5): -
- Juan (4/5): This was the worst place we stayed. Although the price was low, the experience was very disappointing. - The location is fine. It’s quite dated and hasn’t been renovated, both the carpets and walls show significant wear. Overall, it’s clear that the amenities haven’t been updated in at least the past five years. The walls are extremely thin—you can hear everything—and the futons are so thin that it feels like sleeping directly on the floor. We had a very poor night’s sleep and wouldn’t recommend staying here.
- Paul (2/5): - Cheap and affordable. That's the only positive. I do not recommend staying here. The self check in system was totally inadequate for the number of guests that were checking in. Please see photo of the wait required to check in, which was over 30 minutes. The whole building is dated, tired and dirty. The sheets had clean covers but the duvet was stained. There was black mould in the small onsen. Basically for a trouble free night stay somewhere else. If your on a budget it's worth otherwise find something better.
