The property is beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable. I enjoy the in room soaking tub very much. I am most impressed with the swimming pool. The length of the pool is longer than any pool I have ever been. Snack bar was enjoyable. Dinner buffet selection is extraordinary and delicious. Property is remote and a little hard to get to. Other than the accessibility, it is a fabulous place to relax and rejuvenate.

柚木香氣十足溫泉浴池、豐盛多樣的飽足早餐

房間迎賓禮一顆碩大的水梨，誠意十足；可以欣賞景色，又有百葉簾保有隱私的湯間，加上維持非常乾淨的柚木浴池，散發一股淡淡的香味，使泡溫泉的體驗上了一個層次；湯後房間內備有茶具、茶葉及當地客家茶點，邊品邊欣賞溪畔美麗景色，讓人有徹底放鬆的效果。 下午茶點心加上早餐的菜色豐富多樣CP值高。

Great place for onsen outside usual popular locations. Place gives an upmarket feel and provides good quality. Very impressed with Breakfast buffet and Dinner buffet. Getting here will require a car ride as it is literally in the middle of nowhere. Has a 7-11 (opens till 2200) within 2 mins walk. A 24-H Hi-Life convenient store will require a drive out.

A Pleasant Stay

I recently stayed at Onsen Papawaqa and had an overall enjoyable experience. **Check-In Process:** The check-in process was easy and hassle-free. **Room:** The room was spacious, clean, and came with interesting local complimentary snacks. The highlight was the big hot-spring tub, which was perfect for relaxation. **Breakfast:** The breakfast was nice, offering a mix of Taiwanese, Chinese, and Japanese foods. However, the restaurant layout could be troublesome for some, as it requires navigating stairs to access the food areas. **Communal Hot-Spring:** The communal outdoor hot-spring, referred to as the "naked hot-spring," was quite mediocre. It was underused and not well-maintained, with leaves accumulating in the tub. **Service:** The service by the staff was very good. While English communication was sometimes challenging, the staff tried their best to be helpful in every situation. **Location:** The only downside is the location, which is about a 30-minute drive from the town of Miaoli. Overall, I had a good experience at Onsen Papawaqa, with the spacious room and private hot-spring tub being the standout features.

住宿環境和員工服務係100分，但自助餐係要付款，但出餐慢，去到差不無就要出菜，款式少，味道普通，最差要行梯台才到坐位，剛巧我和家人都係長者，行多兩次巳腳痛😅，他們巳不願取食物了，令我相當不滿，因為其中一位家人是慶祝65歲生日😓其實佢睇過－個台灣旅遊節目來去check in介紹得好好由其係自助餐，真係令我好失望！

房間很讚，但服務對不起這個房價。

如果只評價房間滿意度的話會給五顆星，但服務的話只能給三顆星，因為以一個晚上房價要價八千多來說，服務顯然不夠到位不值得這個房價。 第一個是停車指引，當天到達是已經晚上，但指標也不清楚會讓人摸不著頭緒車子應該先停放哪邊再去進行入住手續，指揮人員也沒有指引的很明確，然後整體來說有接觸到的飯店人員，其實稱不上友善且感覺每個都沒有靈魂的在工作，飯店人員很沒有存在感，令人覺得好似入住了一個全自助的飯店。 飯店早餐整體來說偏中式，且種類較少，有些食物都已冷掉，且飯店人員好像很希望把大家都集中在同一區管理，每張桌子都離的很近，跟隔壁房客吃飯有點近乎並肩一起吃，在安排早餐用餐位置上覺得可以更人性化體貼房客用餐的舒適度一點。 優點就是房間非常大，泡湯池也很大，房間用品都蠻用心的，也打掃的很乾淨，但服務真的需要再改善，才會想讓人花這樣不低的房價再訪。

不值得這個價錢

網路上訂的房型，到現場卻是不同房型，跟櫃檯詢問後，只說照片的房間需要指定？廁所沒乾濕分離，很容易滑倒，而且很沒隱私。服務也是很一般，員工都非常的制式化，退房時也沒詢問住宿滿意度。早餐真的很難吃，麵包類像在夜市買的麵包一樣廉價。唯一的優點只有在戶外泡湯滿舒適的。
