Aman Kyoto Reviews from The Last Year
Worst Aman Ever
This is 5000USD per night hotel but you have got is just 500USD hotel level. Hotel Charge a lot but did not prepare anything to make guest feels home as they always said. I really don't understand why Aman Kyoto is so expensive. Location is not good at all. The room is ok , but a bit small. The Main dining room is very small. 90% are trees. So there is no common space to enjoy. No gym No pool. It was boring staying here. So I would give a 3-4 stars if the price is like 1000USD , but this is way far overprice. This is my 16th Aman so I think I know how Aman is. I think the properties looks deserted , unlively , nothing to enjoy. Welcome and Farewell part is also disappointed. Service is ok , Standard but not exceptional. Food is ok but should be better. Finally , I encourage GM or Staffs to go other Aman all around the world to see How standard Aman is. I have to say you are ruin Aman brand.
Beautiful setting but wildly overpriced
I'll preface this by saying I'm a big fan of the Aman resorts generally, and don't mind paying up for the best hotels if they actually provide an experience worth the price - but Aman Kyoto falls so far short that there's really no way to come close to justifying it. $4,000+ per night, for a hotel that has no gym, no pool, a very small and limited spa, in a not particularly convenient location, is just absurd. I think it's a shame that the Aman is pricing this place at such an absurd rate. On top of that, I should add that there's actually a pretty big difference between staying in the various buildings on the property, which is not really apparent on the website. I was initially booked in a Susuki room, which I was pretty shocked to find felt not only slightly subterranean (as you take a flight of steps down from ground level), but even worse could actually see a street and passing cars through some thin plantings the hotel has tried to place to offer some privacy. That's just absurd for a hotel at this rate, and it is really a joke that the hotel thinks it's reasonable not to price these rooms substantially lower than the rest of the property. To the hotel's credit, they moved me to a better room at no extra charge, if not for which I would rate it 2 stars. The forest setting in the hotel is quite beautiful and atmospheric (though quite dark, so it can be a matter of taste - some friends of mine who visited shortly after me didn't like the setting either), but sadly the rest of the hotel just doesn't meet the standards of many of the other Amans I've been to. I wouldn't return.
Overpriced
Nice hotel in quiet forest setting. Unfortunately highly overpriced. Prices of up to 5000 USD per night not justified. No gym, no pool, mediocre excursion programs, ok but not great breakfast. All in all a disappointing experience. We have stayed at multiple Amans before but were very disappointed by this one.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I made two buy listings earlier this morning and then discarded both of them as no longer needed. My refund now disappeared in my account, and I can no longer transfer them back into my bank account.

Give the best answerUnsold listings bug?
Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.

Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!

Give the best answerPayout limits? Have 1k…
Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Looks like New York passed a bill making it illegal to sell a reservation without the permission of the restaurant. Is this the end of appointment trader?

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

Give the best answerRestaurant Bought/Canceled Their Own Reservation
I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.
