Hakone Retreat Före consistently receives high praise as a serene and beautiful escape, particularly for those looking to unwind from city life. Guests frequently highlight the property's stunning grounds and excellent location, emphasizing its tranquil atmosphere as ideal for relaxation and romantic getaways. The on-site spa and wellness center, including its fantastic onsen, is a significant draw and a recurring positive.

While the overall guest experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as a "fantastic experience" they didn't want to leave, some common feedback points emerged. A few guests noted that while the property itself is excellent, certain units appeared "very tired," suggesting some inconsistency in room maintenance or modernity. However, the convenience of the location, including proximity to Hakone-Yumoto Station and other local attractions like Gotemba Premium Outlet, is frequently appreciated. Amenities such as extra-long beds and ground-floor units also contribute to guest comfort. The property also features a coffee house on-site adding to the convenience.
