As mentioned in other reviews, the maintenance of plants, cleaning, and kitchen had a very unique smell.The pool also had a water circulator, but it was quite cloudy, so I stopped going in.I think it can't be helped due to the location,At night, a large number of insects came looking at the lights and attacked us, making it a no-brainer for the BBQ lolHowever, the outside jacuzzi we entered first thing in the morning was very comfortable, and the children were running around energetically in the large living room.There were many things that happened, but it was a great memory of our family trip.

I don't usually write reviews, but I am writing one because it was so bad.・The parking lot is overgrown with weeds, so much so that you feel scared when you arrive.-The kitchen is smelly and not clean.・When I tried to turn on the BBQ stove, some of the electrical outlets in the building were not working, and it took over 30 minutes for the BBQ to start.・Although it says there are three indoor baths, there are actually two (one was used as a storeroom)-The electricity was out in one of the two indoor baths. Take a bath in the dark.・It was mentioned in the Q&A that there would be room wear, but in reality there was none.・There is no room wear. The electricity in the bathroom is turned off. When I realized this, I called the management company, but they couldn't get through, there was no answering machine, and there was no emergency contact number. It's impossible when you're lying on your website.If the building had been well maintained and cleaned, I might have wanted to go there again.For this amount of money, this carelessness is abnormal.I understand that there are people who said they did not stay and returned home through word of mouth.

A group trip with close friends was suddenly decided at the beginning of June.This review is quite long, but I'll leave it here in case it's helpful to someone.I'm still worried about Corona,However, I decided to relax at a luxury resort, so I searched and found an empty and relatively cheap villa!Even though it's cheap, it costs over 400,000 yen for a consecutive night at the end of August.And with a preface. . .Yay! It was a close call, but I managed to get a good spot! It started off with a bang, butThat's what my friend said as we drove to our accommodation."Horrible reviews. That villa."picture. . .A battle of already read reviews suddenly begins.For now, let's enjoy Adventure World! ! !I forgot about the hotel for a while.Adventure World is great for kids too!Now! Next is the hotel!. . . . I wonder what kind of hotel it is. . .If you follow the navigation path, you will get deeper and deeper into the mountains. . .Anxiety that suddenly appears. . .When I was told that I was near my destination, the navigation showed me a Western-style building nestled in dense weeds.Rumor 😭Well. If this is about it.I mustered up my courage and drove inside the car. . .Still, I head to check-in with uncontrollable anxiety in my heart,A passcode that won't open no matter how many times I try.Eventually, the beeping sound wouldn't stoppicture? Is it broken? What what? !I couldn't enter through the front door without saying either 'un' or 'sung'.The door is as hard as iron bars.Ge. . . 😰Then I realized something.Hey.Is this really where I can stay tonight?No matter how you look at it, it's an empty house, isn't it?surely.It's a Western-style building just like the one in the photo, but it feels very empty. There are remnants of things that are no longer usable everywhere.Even though it just opened two years ago,No one lived there, abandoned for about two years.A dead writer's villa.That's what I said.My delusions continue to grow,The time is already 4:30 p.m.With this number of people, it would be impossible to find somewhere else to stay now.I have to get in somehow. . .I tentatively called the company that sent me the accommodation code, butThis phone is currently not in use.speakers.Oops! Is it a new scam? !Call the police? !The payment has already been made.For now, I decided to walk around the villa.Can the weeds and bushes go to the back?I can't stand it if it's really an empty house.Feeling uneasy,When I looked for the wooden stick and went around to the back, I heard some kind of buzzing sound😳a! Something is moving! It's an empty house after all! 🥹Isn't it okay to let children sleep in the car? ! 🥹Check the review again with a glimmer of hope!As mentioned in other reviews, the small window in the back was open and I entered the pit like a thief🤘Haha. It definitely stinks. Quite a homey smell. For example, it smells like someone just went to see the apartment where someone lived👃I thought that some people might not like it, but when I went inside, I noticed that all the guest rooms had air conditioners. The pool certainly feels quite old considering it's new, but the water is constantly circulating, and if the filter inside had been changed, I'd probably be able to use it today.I unlock the door from inside and check in, but it is not booked. The characters are.By the time I get to this point, I've gotten over my anger and can't help but laugh.You've already paid and received your accommodation code, so whether you can check in or not, you'll have a place to sleep.Well, I'll stay the night 🤘We packed up our bags and went for a walk.There is clearly a shortage of various supplies.So let's review the review together.What what?→It says that they searched for various things on their own and stayed there.Apparently there is a warehouse that is off-limits to anyone except those involved.But it's written in the review, and there are important things, so I guess it's locked.While saying this, I found a door that was closed to anyone except those involved.It'll open" lolah! If you think of it like this kind of self-service, you won't dislike it, right?While saying that, I also took out the vacuum cleaner and cleaned the areas I was concerned about🤣🤣🤣Anyway, the cleaning is not done well at all.I don't get annoyed, butI can't say it's worth the price at all.The business hotels around there are definitely more beautiful" lolShopping is within a 10 minute drive, so I don't feel inconvenienced, but when I look around, I see other villas that are beautiful.It's okay! It's okay! ! !I said as I went in and out, but the children seemed to be having fun running around and playing tag🤣If it's this dirty,I don't mind the kids spilling food or running around all over the place. Anyway, is everything okay here? It's so dirty that we can't be careful about it🤣TV is easy to watch and has good sound⭕️The living room is spacious and has a comfortable view.There are large windows throughout the house, giving a great sense of openness.Has there ever been a time when a child so violent was allowed to do whatever he wanted? !A room with so little space that you can clean it up right away no matter where you drop it✨Despite the loud noises, I paid so much money to stay in such a dirty villa.I have the mental space to forgive my children's behavior ❤️In a sense, this villa is the answer✨I still have one more day to stay, but when I think about being able to run around with my kids in peace today, I feel like there's no other hotel like this."LOLI might write another review about what I felt today, but I'm having a lot of fun🤣Would you like to stay again? When asked, next time I would like to stay in the villa next door🤣After reading this review and seeing something scary, I think it would be a good idea to stay here 👍I wonder if some YouTuber will come ❤️The impact is so great that people who stayed here and gave it a low rating must watch the YouTube video⭕️

Other reviews were not good, so from the moment I arrived, the garden was full of grass and I had a bad feeling.When I went inside, I was shocked to see that it smelled bad, had not been maintained at all, there was mysterious blood on the bed, and the toilet was so dirty that I thought it was a public toilet outside.This is the worst room ever.I had a hard time finding another hotel right away.I can't even get into the swimming pool because it's full of trash.All I can say is that I'm disappointed.It was really bad.I didn't even sit down and went out as soon as I found another hotel.I'll never go there again.

I paid over 200,000 yen for the holidays in May 2023, but I returned home without staying overnight.First, the key won't open. Battery dead?No contact information and no company name listed.I should have noticed that.I had no choice but to go to the window and it was open so I went from there.I'm going to check in...One of the lights in the bathroom was out, so I went to the other bathroom, but there was no hot water even though the gas switch was on.The towels are smelly and the kitchen is disgusting.It was the smell.The best part was that the cat was lying on the barbecue table.Unable to bear the filth and inconvenience, I returned home.This was my first experience like this.

I feel like I was scammed. I'm really disappointed.It was so dirty that I couldn't settle down, so I didn't stay overnight and left after an hour.Despite being an expensive facility, costing around 200,000 to 300,000 yen per night, the facility was not well-maintained, and the facility was not user-friendly, and there were dead insects, ants, and crickets in the room. I have been to other glamping facilities with private pools, but I think they are far inferior in terms of cleanliness, service, and price. It seemed like it wasn't well maintained, and I wondered if it was a facility run by a proper company. Is it privately run?If you have already made a reservation, we recommend that you think again. People who are fine may be fine. Please refer to the details of the problem below.〇About cleaning・Apparently 3-4 people were cleaning the room until about 15 minutes before check-in. When the workers came out, they didn't have any cleaning supplies with them, so it's unclear what they were doing. How about making the bed and vacuuming?・When I checked inside the facility after checking in, the first thing I noticed was a wide area of ​​mud-like dirt on the walls of Room 2. When I wiped it with the wet wipe I brought with me, some of it came off, so it is thought that I did not feel like cleaning it.・There were other stains everywhere that could be removed by wiping properly. In addition, the remains of crushed insects were left unattended on the walls and doors.・The screen in front of the door was also full of dust, and there were dead insects behind the screen. By the way, the dead insect was found in Room 1, in the bedroom, in front of the door leading to the bathroom.〇About the facility・About the locationEven after getting off the expressway, there are no signs at all, and there are no signs or names written anywhere on the facility itself. It's quite difficult to understand.・About parking lotIs it a parking lot or a vacant lot? It might be possible to park 7 cars if we manage to squeeze in all the space, but there is no well-maintained parking lot. Just a space surrounded by grass and trees full of insects.・About paintingThe paint on the indoor floor (wood) is peeling off. Depending on the location, there are about 3 to 5 peeling areas per square meter.・About wallsThere are parts of the wall that are broken. There was a hole next to the low door that connected the living room to the poolside. Could the ants walking on the walls of the facility come in through such gaps?・About the doorThe door in front of the window in Room 1 seems to be able to slide so you can see the scenery, but one of the two doors is broken and won't open. It looks like someone broke it with too much force when sliding it.・About the bathroomThe website states that there are three bathrooms in the room, but only two were actually usable. The only door leading to the most beautiful-looking glass bathroom, which was pictured on the website, was unable to open and was unusable.I thought it was strange when I saw that the screen door was closed when I checked in, but I almost went through the door thinking it was an unused door. Looking at the floor plan, we realized that it was the door leading to the bathroom, and three of us, including a man, tried to open it through trial and error, but to no avail. I tried to open the door on the terrace side, but it was locked and I couldn't open it. By the way, the other door with the same shape (the door behind the fence near the hand washing area in Room 2) opened normally.There was no phone number to contact the administrator, so I couldn't even ask them how to open the door, so I had no choice but to give up. I don't know if it was rusted to the point of death, or if it was purposely closed so it couldn't be used.Except for the bathroom, which wasn't open, the bathtub was yellowish and the floor material was sandy, making it feel more like a training camp than a resort facility.・About the poolThe pool itself looked clean, but I didn't feel like going in because of the filth inside. The view from the terrace is beautiful.・About the kitchenThe kitchen smells. There is a Japanese-style room next door, but you might not want to sleep on the tatami floor because of the smell.〇About other services・As mentioned in other reviews, I can't find a phone number for inquiries anywhere. There was something like a lodging guide, but the last page only had phone numbers for the fire department and gas company.・The tablet I used when checking in and checking out didn't turn on, so I left a note behind. There was a mark indicating that the battery was out of charge, and it would not charge even when I plugged in the included charger.I couldn't believe it was a facility that had only been open for a few months. Even in a house where you spend 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, things don't get this dirty or broken. I would like to see not only the lack of cleaning, but also the paint and wood. The sea breeze may have caused it to deteriorate faster, but even taking that into consideration, it's still terrible.I don't think people who are concerned about insects or dirt will be able to stay here. Business hotels are better. I definitely don't recommend it if you want to stay in a beautiful resort-style accommodation.It's surrounded by trees so insects can't be helped, but I think there is room for improvement in terms of dirt, damage, and service. alreadySome things may have been improved, but I hope that these problems will be resolved in the future and that proper management will be possible.

It said it would open in May, but the grass in the garden hadn't been taken care of, the inside of the house was in disrepair, used gas cylinders for BBQ were placed haphazardly, and mosquito coils were just randomly placed in cardboard boxes. It was placed inside.The slippers were disposable slippers lined up side by side, which made me feel uncomfortable.There was hair on the floor in the room, and it didn't seem like it had been cleaned.There were no towels either, so I had to take them out of a closet marked ``No access except for those involved.''The one in frontThe kitchen was also far from the living room, making it difficult to use.There was no manager, there was no contact number listed, and there were no instructions for staying overnight, so I felt inconvenienced.The children seemed satisfied with the large pool and hot springs.

The size of the pool and the view were good.Other than that, I was very disappointed.The bedroom was uncomfortable with a lot of hair falling down, and the toiletries in the bathroom were insufficient as there were only enough toiletries for three people. I didn't bring my own because it said they had towels, but I was in trouble because they only had two towels.It said there was wi-fi, so I looked for a pass to pick up, but it was in a room that was off-limits to anyone except those involved, so I had to look for it. How unkind...or should I say mean?The kitchen was dark and the refrigerator had a fishy smell and was very dirty.

The room looks good, but it's a bit run down. Is it under construction? There were times when I thought so. What caught my attention.Bathroom wall paint? Tattered. The paint on the bottom of the pool is falling apart. A construction sheet immediately after entering? . The atmosphere and size are perfect, but the cost is high, so I would like to have the facility inspected a little more.
