The facilities and exterior environment were excellent, and the staff and butler were well-trained. Aside from the hygiene issues, I was generally satisfied, and the service attitude was also very pleasing. However, there are two major concerns:
Firstly, hygiene should be the top priority for a private hot spring. I'm not a germaphobe, but I found "hair" (not head hair, but body hair) on the tissue box for face and hand towels. The previous guest's tea set and coffee machine were left uncleaned. Even after calling for a re-cleaning, they only rinsed the tea set, leaving the tea tray untouched. The coffee liquid under the coffee machine was just wiped away with a cloth, and the interior was not cleaned again. I am very bothered by this, and it naturally led me to believe that a thorough disinfection between guests was not performed.
Secondly, the ability to address the needs of guests with special requests in advance needs improvement. It's acceptable if the request cannot be met according to the hotel's standard policy. However, if a solution is promised after coordination and communication, it's crucial to re-emphasize and confirm with the customer to ensure mutual understanding, rather than leaving room for discrepancies and misunderstandings that require post-facto remediation. This caused a significant drop in customer experience.
Additionally, we did not participate in the hotel's complimentary activities, but during a phone call, it was casually mentioned that a souvenir would be given upon departure. This was not fulfilled, and we did not pursue it further.
