We stayed in a Manasa second floor room. So spacious and well appointed, it even had its own mini-onsen. The staff help my son and I plan two fabulous hikes, one of which was actually in the rain. Breakfast buffet and dinner were superb.

Title: Manager's Sincerity and Airport Transfer Service Commendable, But Hygiene Standards, Room Service, and Platform Communication Urgently Need Improvement 1. **[Hygiene Conditions]** Room Cleaning Standards Seriously Failed The hygiene experience during this stay was extremely poor. Not only were spiders found in the room, but I was essentially forced to sleep with them, and there was hair left on the bed. Even more unacceptable was the presence of numerous insects in the bathtub water; I had to request they clean and change the water again. As a high-star resort hotel, the minimum standard for room cleanliness is ensuring the health and peace of mind of guests. This level of hygiene is simply intolerable. I hope the hotel will immediately conduct a thorough overhaul of the housekeeping department's cleaning standards and room inspection procedures. 2. **[Room Service and Room Change Experience]** Lack of Service Awareness, Extremely Poor Room Change Experience One of the two straw bags in the room was damaged. When I asked the staff for a replacement, they retorted, "Isn't there another one? Why do you need to change it?" I paid for the room; I came here to enjoy life, not to be mistreated. Furthermore, the housekeeping staff were picky and had poor English communication skills. What disappointed me even more was the room change process. I waited a full hour and a half to change rooms due to hygiene issues. When checking into my second room, I specifically requested that all the bedding be changed because the third room was simply too poor. I paid an expensive villa-level fee, but ended up in an extremely ordinary, low-quality room – a terrible experience. 3. [Hardware Details and Value for Money] Outdated and Damaged Facilities, Experience Severely Disproportionate to Price Many details in the room felt very cheap; for example, many of the water bottles were broken. Frankly, I paid for a five- or six-star hotel, but received a three- or four-star experience, or even worse. This perfunctory approach to facilities contrasted sharply with the high price, making it feel like a complete waste of money. 4. [Food Quality] Michelin Standard Questionable, Poor Experience The hotel food was frankly not very good. I even questioned how they obtained their Michelin star. As a traveler who values ​​quality of life, I was extremely disappointed. 5. **[Airport Transfer Service]** Incomplete and Inconsistent Menu Information The hotel's airport transfer service was good, but the staff did not assist with my luggage to the security checkpoint, failing to complete the service from start to finish. Furthermore, regarding the airport pick-up service, the hotel claimed it required booking three days in advance, but this option was not displayed in the booking platform's menu, causing me great dissatisfaction as a customer. 6. **[Management Remedial Action]** Sincere Attitude, but Needs to Address Details I must admit that the hotel manager was very sincere after learning of the problem, personally apologizing, inviting me to dinner, and even giving me cookies as a token of appreciation upon check-out. I have received and acknowledged this sincerity and remedial action. However, for a high-end hotel, post-incident remedies are insufficient; core service details must be addressed. 7. **[Platform Communication and Service]** Ctrip Customer Service Professionalism is Commendable, but Process Needs Optimization When the problem arose, Ctrip stated that customers should communicate directly with the hotel, and that the agent would not intervene. This made me, as a consumer, feel very insecure. However, I would also like to express my special thanks to the Ctrip customer service representative I spoke with. Throughout the entire business communication, they treated me with great respect, addressing me as "Madam" throughout. They also made excellent arrangements for my follow-up matters and recommended other hotels, demonstrating excellent professionalism. 8. [To Ctrip Platform and Personal Reflections] Sincere Expectations from a Ten-Year Customer Among many travel platforms, I have always trusted Ctrip. As a customer of over ten years, I sincerely hope that Ctrip will continue to improve. I hope that the platform will maintain its professional and courteous attitude in future services, wholeheartedly helping every consumer. Finally, I would like to share some personal reflections on life: Life is unpredictable; life is about enjoyment and happiness. We should treat ourselves well. We spend money to pursue a better life, not to buy suffering. Money can be spent, but not wasted; money can be used, but it must be spent worthwhile. I hope that hotels and platforms can continuously improve themselves, so that every traveler who lives life with intention can feel true value for money and a sense of home.

After hiking for two days, I took another day to rest. It turned out to be the right choice. I took a bath in the big bath several times, which was quite refreshing. With the delicious food and excellent service, my body recovered a lot! These three days were quite magical and relaxing. I highly recommend Sankara Hotel!

This is the best hotel on Yakushima Island, with excellent service. Electric bicycles are available for rental, allowing you to explore the nearby waterfalls and countryside, which are beautiful. The sauna by the pool is definitely worth trying, but reservations are recommended.

Sankara Hotel is in an excellent location, overlooking the sea and mountains. The rooms are well-equipped and spacious. The service staff is very friendly and solves problems in a timely manner. The food is also very good. It's just that the menu prices are not clear. I hope it can be improved.

This is the third time I have stayed here. It is the best hotel on Yakushima. I highly recommend it in terms of food, service, rooms and environment. You must stay in a hotel when you come to the island.

It's nice that they clean the room while I'm out, but I don't like the fact that they leave me a half-baked new bathrobe. And the name of the room representative keeps changing. I wonder why that is? Now it seems that the nice extra thoughtfulness they showed before COVID is only for inbound customers. It was very sad.

強烈推薦! 據説這家和Samana一個老闆的,比較來説高端點,開在了山頂,但沒有温泉。風景絕佳,種滿了特別的植物,逛一逛很愜意,前台到別墅有車送的,但是走5分鐘的路而已……來安房港口接我們的妹子會中文,帶我們去房間的管家英文很好,完全聽得懂。 晚飯的話餐廳是前兩年的米其林,今年沒有。菜就經典米其林水平,好吃是好吃,但沒意思,未曾想甜品驚艷到我們了,本來打算吃一口收工,嚐了一小塊後愣是全吃了一遍,回房間差點撐吐了,建議不要加菜(加菜加錢但挺便宜的,和牛的話再加一點錢),派給我們的服務員的咖喱英語聽不懂,bon布拉bon吧啦的,唯一的扣分點吧。這種介紹菜的服務其實不走心光走流程的話,聽不聽得懂都很煩人……誰要聽你背書啊。 早飯沒印象了……就那樣吧,吃麻了。下午茶和晚上酒都很不錯品味太豐富了,能給你喝死,推薦coffee gin。 吹風機是refa的,沒我想像的好使,很重,拔草了。茶有很多很多種,冷泡的熱泡的水果茶草茶花茶,啤酒asashi果汁甜得昏過去。喝了一口扔那裡了,回來發現開夜床的服務員給俺果汁包了層膜,驚了,太貼心了。服務真的用心又體貼,和霧島星野、紫翠比,顯得非常優秀! 吃完晚飯發現床邊放了礦泉水和屋久杉安眠噴霧,一人一衹,睡衣和浴袍都非常老錢風——厚得要命。
