Charming ryokan
Pros:

A little off the beaten path in Yufuin, this little ryokan is charming and has a wonderful staff but feels a little dated and might not offer the amenities of more modern places. However, the value is great, the rooms surprisingly spacious and the onsen (with outdoors and indoors options) small but very enjoyable.

Pros:

Generally, we did not like our experience at this hotel. Bad value for money.
When I booked, the website said that the onsen could be used for an additional charge of 300 yens per person. We did not plan on using it but they now make everyone pay a flat fee of 250 yens per person, whether you use it or not.
The room is spacious but not comfortable - bed, pillow, cleanliness...
The staff was friendly and helpful and the parking was free.
On a side note - and I don't take this into account in my rating of this hotel: Yufuin seems like a total tourist trap - we would have skipped it on our road trip if we had known.

Pros:

This is a new type of a Japanese "Ryokan", mostly self-services. Quiet area and much cheaper than other typical "Ryokan" in the town. Yet, I enjoyed one of the private-room onsen.

Pros:

旅館屬於一個自助形式入住,基乎沒有服務。房間設施有點舊。但價錢相宜,有免費泊車。酒店有私人溫泉,整體來說不差。

온천과 공유주방이 있는 요칸
Pros:

온천이 있는 요칸이지만 식사는 셀프로 할 수 있도록 공유 주방을 제공합니다. 공동으로 사용하니 깨끗하지는 않습니다. 공동공간의 인테리어가 매우 좋습니다.

Pros:

I love that this hotel was completely different than what I expected. Upon arriving I was pleasantly surprised by the bed & breakfast style of the hotel and the nostalgic memorabilia displayed throughout the hotel as well. The staff was very informative and accommodating to my needs while speaking english. I felt right at home. The free hot chocolate was delicious which I sipped graciously in the living room after a hot soak in the private onsen. I had such a relaxing experience. I am looking forward to visiting Yufuin again and returning to this hotel!

만족합니다. 좋아요~
Pros:

만족합니다~ 후기에서 냄새난다고해서 걱정했는데 냄새도 안 나서 다행이었어요. 객실도 넓고 깔끔하고 좋았어요~
하지만 노천탕의 이용시간이 너무 짧아요! 다른건 다 만족합니다~
실내탕도 이용시간이 너무 짧아서 탕을 얼마 사용 못했습니다. 탕이 3개 있는데 다 사용해보지 못했어요. 온천의 이용시간을 높여주면 진짜 좋아요!!!
아참 그리고 온천물이 정말 좋아요! 씻고 나오면 몸이 뽀득뽀득 너무 부드러워요~~~ 어디 가게 놀러갔는데 애기가 제 다리가 부드럽다고 계속 한 30분동안 만지더라구요. 그리고 위치도 좋아요~ 이용객이 다 한국인이예요 .

Pros:

睇落間旅館有點古舊,但其實裡面非常乾淨,職員非常友善,晚上可以泡戶外溫泉,早上只有室內供應,溫泉係私人享用,每次限時30分鐘,有地方給煮食,有單車供應,步行去車站需要20-25分鐘,步行去金鱗湖需要15分鐘,附近有間Aeon超市,非常方便

잘 쉬다왔습니다.
Pros:

2층집인데 엘리베이터가 없었던것 빼고 매우 좋았습니다. 1층 온천시설, 자율사용 주방등 매우 만족스러웠던 숙소였습니다.

Pros:

직원분이 전혀 친절하지 않았고, 공기 청정기에서는 악취가 났으며, 식사 제공이 없는데 심지어 이용 할 수 있는 식당은 너무 멀리 있다.
객실이 넓은 것 외에는 장점을 찾기 힘든 곳이었다.
