The hospitality was wonderful but rarely speak English. ##### Thun Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 景观超级棒，旁边是kukuna和富士吟景，离网红烤肉店也很近。住宿很干净，榻榻米很舒服。性价比很高。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jappig, Hong kong Oct 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort 酒店位置10分出色房間窗門直接已經望到富士山 房間足夠容納兩至三個人 唯一不方便之處係公眾浴室只能夠下晝五點至10點沖涼 不過呢個價錢已經係十分之抵旁邊都係一啲貴價嘅 ##### Jappig Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### YOU-RU Oct 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 有機會還會住宿 第一次入住榻榻米房，房內乾淨舒適，雖然房內無浴廁較不方便，但窗戶就面向河口湖，可以瞭望富士山。飯店離商店街有點遠，但這對我們來說並非缺點。 ##### YOU-RU Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### HSIHSIN Sep 1, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 民宿打開窗戶就可以看的到富士山 整體來說還不錯 下次有機會還會再住 ##### HSIHSIN Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### YENLING Aug 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 想看富士山，預算又有限的人的最佳選擇！ 民宿位置就在巴士站下車處不遠，假如有購買周遊巴士卷，可先來寄放行李，非常便利。 民宿老闆娘親切熱情，房間乾淨舒適，很幸運能住到面湖房間，一開窗便能看見富士山，在這一排面湖高級飯店中，這家民宿的價格實在是便宜到不行！ 唯一不便的地方是浴室在一樓，稍微老舊，假如有開放使用浴缸，我大概也不會泡～整體的住宿不論價格、整潔或是位置我都非常滿意，不過男友是覺得太老舊了些，提供給大家參考：） The guesthouse is convenient,near the bus station. The housekeeper is very nice,and the room is clean. We can see Mt.Fuji in room,the view is pretty good. We have a nice trip here :) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1209-paa8b82a0-978e-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1340-pf0ad5910-978f-11e8-94ca-0242ac11000e-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s682-pab1747e0-978e-11e8-94ca-0242ac11000e-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s818-pf2f462e0-978f-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### YENLING Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spectacular views of Mt Fuji Great family place and wonderful views of Mt Fuji when it's clear.
