Holiday Villas in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Review Title: Unsafe Staircase – Serious Safety Hazard When we first entered the unit, we were shocked to find a long, narrow staircase—laminated, steep, and slippery, with no resistance strips on the steps. We managed to walk up slowly with our luggage, exercising extra care, and enjoyed a pleasant evening with the convenience of a full kitchen. However, the next morning during check‑out, the worst happened: one of our guests slipped and fell, suffering a broken leg that required surgery. As the hotel operates on a self check‑in and self check‑out system, there were no staff present to assist, and we had to call an ambulance ourselves to avoid delaying treatment. We wrote to the hotel requesting an incident report, but received no response. This lack of accountability is unacceptable. Key concerns: No signage to indicate slippery stairs. No staff presence to provide assistance in emergencies. No response to our incident report request. This was a traumatic and preventable incident. The hotel must urgently address these safety lapses to protect future guests.

The location is fantastic, very close to Taoyuan Terrace, and it's super convenient to take the cable car. The whole place is clean, and having a hot spring, cold bath, sauna, and a small garden terrace all in one unit is incredible value for money. The kitchenware is also very well-stocked; you can do BBQ, shabu-shabu, whatever you want, it's great! Just a heads-up: to use the vending machines outside, you need to download a specific app, and not all of them work. If there's an expired item in one, it locks down completely and won't dispense anything. The nearest 24-hour unmanned convenience store down the slope also has very limited selection, so if you're driving, make sure to stock up on everything before you come here to relax.

This hotel didn’t have 24hours front desk services , nevertheless travelers can easily reach out by free call services if needed assistance when you arrived. Is about 5-10mins walk from Hakone-Yumoto station. Turn left right after you exit from station , across the road whereby tourists information office and bus stations . Walk across a red bridge right after walking down from stairs station , turn left after crossing bridge ,walk few more mins and you will be able to reach the hotel .

This is my 5th time staying here. It's a wonderful house in a beautiful location, with everything you need inside. However, I'm always disappointed when they can't provide extra blankets; there often aren't enough when two guests share a bed. The reception is online, and there's no breakfast, but we always go to neighboring hotels for breakfast, which isn't an issue. Otherwise, everything is great. The price-quality ratio is fair.

Must complete pre-check in procedures the day before to get the door code to avoid delay in checking in. Overall very nice stay with real onsen filled with sulphur smel !

This hotel is brand new and offers fantastic amenities like a fully equipped kitchen, a very clean washer and dryer, and even a dishwasher! The best part is the in-room hot spring bath. Every evening, I looked forward to soaking in the 'natural hot spring components (Yunohana)'. It was incredibly relaxing! I learned that this type of spring water is excellent for relieving fatigue, joint pain, and is even good for your skin. Since I stayed for 5 days, the only minor inconvenience was the lack of an outdoor recycling area, so I had to contact customer service online for trash pickup. Aside from that, everything else was perfect!

The environment is beautiful, and the hot spring is very comfortable.

The moment you step in, you're greeted by a rich woody scent. It's a newly completed property, and what I loved most was the private onsen, offering an exclusive space to relax. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Hakone!

everyone love the house nice,clean,only the alley here is hard to go because it is a bit narrow,we regret going on rainy days
