Terrible staff service. I stayed there for 4 nights because I just didn’t want to move my belongings but seemed like the more you stay, the more terrible they are. I don’t know do they have bias only for me or not but I felt it is. As I noticed the guest who only stayed 1 night or short time, They are very welcome and doing good service. From my opinion I pay money more. Either I stayed only 1 night but I also need fairness not bias.

It was in a lovely spot in the hills surrounded by greenery with a good view of the town. The owner Ryo went out of his wasy to pick me up from the station when ai arrived late and dropped me off there early the next morning. It had a nice bath too

I’m tall and the bed was short so put me on a tatami, no a negative just not my favorite. Otherwise outstanding! They have 24 hour hot Springs. Hosts were great!

Tucked away in the mountains, you will need to drive to reach the city centre. The staff are very welcoming and there is an onsen! We wish we could have booked a dinner too as the food looked great.

Excellent stay, you feel hommy and welcome
It was great stay i came late at night and was still welcome smoothly. It seems like the owners love people and interested to know. It was great to hear how they both start the vision of this hostel. I reccomend this hostel definetly.

I got the transportation message from Ryo, the hostel staff, showing me how to get there from train station, very thoughtful! The dinner was absolutely amazing, I booked for 2 nights and they made me different menu.

Real life Japanese stay with Japanese hospitality.
Very nice hospitality right from the reception. We enjoyed the Japanese bath and the view from our room. Bedding was quite comfortable considering we were not used to sleeping on the floor and the parting sing along was good fun and a famous part of this hostel. We were a couple with an adult daughter but I think this place would really appeal to younger travellers especially on a budget. The place was very well run with excellent meals available and served in a cosy lounge area. It is run by an efficient young man who speaks excellent English.

Kind staffs, Nice surrounding but bit far fr city
The staffs were kind and helpful. It is bit far from the city center, so you have to take bus or taxi which makes you cost somewhat money. Room was okay and the onsen facility downstairs were quite nice. It is in the middle of nature and it was quite peaceful. The hostel has nice view over the city. Overall, okay hostel for enjoying scenery and quite atmosphere.

목조 주택이라 걸을때마다 삐걱거리는 소리가 들린다. 너무 높은곳에 있어 도보로 이동이 거의 불가능하고 주변에 편의시설이 없다. 다만 호스텔 내부에서 간단한 맥주나 스낵을 구매할수있다. 오래됀 건물이지만 관리는 매우 잘 되어있고 사용하기에 크게 불편한 점은 없다. 저녁에 다이닝룸에서 호스트와 같이 게임도 즐기고 체크아웃할때 노래도 불러줘서 기억에 남는 여행이 될것이다.

最高のお宿です!!
この度は1/4-5に登山仲間と由布岳の朝駆けをするために宿泊させていただきました。 お正月期間中にもかかわらずとても良心的なお値段で、しかも夕食も手作りでお品数も多いし、食後は食堂でご一緒になった方々と持ち寄ったお酒を頂きプチ宴会状態(*^^*) オーナー様のお話も聞けてとても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました!(^^)! また由布に行く時は是非宜しくお願い致します。

가성비대비 매우 좋습니다 대신 유후인 메인스트리트에서 거리가 좀 되다보니 약 20분정도 트래킹할 생각없으시면 버스나 택시이용하세요 저는 오고 내려갈때 도보로 이동했습니다 경치구경이 좋아요 그리고 아침저녁 유상으로 제공하는 저녁식사는 한국인입맛에 다소 짤수있습니다 저녁은 해결하고 오시는걸 추천합니다 20시에는 호스텔에 묵는 사람들과 간단한 게임을 하니 참여하시는걸 추천합니다 욕탕은 남여 구별되어있으니 문제없고 19시나 아침 8시 넘어서는 이용객이 거의 없으니 참고하세요 유후인은 볼게없으니 하루만 이용하세요..

This hostel is very home-feeling, and you can chat with other people. The view is good. The dinner is delicious. Unfortunately the weather is bad when I had my trip. I would like to visit yufuin again and stay at this hostel next time. The only thing that need improvement is the mattress which is too soft and the hot spring seems not hot enough.
