### 4/5 — Pretty fun and nice on the eye

*2026-07-06, version 1.8.0*

It’s a pretty fun game, and satisfying, I wouldn’t say it’s pay to win either, and there isn’t a lot of waiting which I hate in games, I also find the art style satisfying to look at, and cute, so it’s a pretty decent game, nothing too special but nice.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-06-19, version 1.8.0*

This game is great! Not stressful and a nice way to kill time. I love the art and everything, I love it!

### 5/5 — Pretty cool

*2026-02-10*

As far as games like this go it’s much more cute and silly than the over played farm games. It’s worth playing it’s amusing and don’t just flood you with ads or make it impossible if you don’t spend money. So I’d say it’s pretty cool!

### 5/5 — Non forced ads

*2025-12-15, version 1.8.0*

It won’t force you to watch an ad every five seconds but it does offer prizes for watching ads

### 4/5 — 재밌어요

*2025-10-15*

진짜 오랜만에 빠져서 한 게임같네요 유령이나 직원 설정읽는 것도 재밌고 컨셉도 진짜 마음에 들어서 계속 하고싶어요. 근데 슈퍼메니저는 이상하게 얻은건 소개가 안 보이고 못 얻은거 소개만 보이는데 이 오류는 빨리 고쳐줬으면 좋겠네요. 설정읽는 맛으로 하는데 슈퍼메니저만 안 보이니까 답답해요. 그리고 혹시 새로운 손님을 추가해주실 수 있나요? 더 많은 설정의 유령이 보고싶어요.

### 5/5 — 슈퍼매니저가 잘생겼어요

*2025-07-26*

이 말 하려고 리뷰 씁니다 힐링도 되고 광고도 창의적이어서 좋은데 중요한게 조금 하다보면 슈퍼 매니저를 뽑을 수가 있거든요? 일반매니저들도 유령손님들도 마녀들도 다 귀여운데 메인호텔 슈퍼매니저 디자인이 너무 좋아요 더 만들어주세요… 설명란에 있는 설정도 귀엽던데 더 보고 싶어요 ㅎㅎ 호텔 운영하고 요리도 해야하는데 매일 1층만 구경하고 있어요 광고도 열심히 보고 새로 매니저 나오면 충전도 할게요

### 3/5 — unfortunate bug on ipad

*2025-02-24, version 1.7.2*

great art, but the app seems extremely stretched out and squished when played on ipad to fit the screen. I’d rather the game not fully fit the ipad screen than be squished like this, it bothers me quite a bit and makes it difficult to play.

### 5/5 — 꼭 깔아요!✨😻

*2025-01-24*

진짜 이런 개임 몇분이면 질리는데 이 게임은 20분 넘게 했어요., 대단해요!! 너무 재밌고 너무 귀여워요ㅎㅎ 보상도 좋고!! 많은 분들이 이 게임을 알면 좋겠네요! ㅎ ㅡㅎ 
다들 이 게임 한번 해봐요👍🐻

### 5/5 — 오류??인가요

*2025-01-22*

게임 재밌게 잘 플레이 하고 있습니다~
슈퍼매니저 도감을 보는데 얻은 매니저는 ??? 라고 뜨고 아직 못얻은 매니저는 이름/설명이 다 보이더라고요 그래서 현재 슈퍼매니저 모두 모았는데 도감에 전부 ???로 뜨네요 ㅜㅜ

### 4/5 — 귀엽긴한데.. 좀 아쉬워요

*2025-01-19*

처음엔 귀엽고 얼른 승급 올리고 싶어서 열심히 했는데 승급올리면 층수 초기화되는건 그렇다쳐도 마녀호텔까지는 괜찮았는데 유령바캉스? 오픈되서 기대했는데 그것마저 그냥 똑같이 호텔 승급 올리고 하는거라서 좀 아쉽습니다ㅠㅠ 좀비섬처럼 그냥 다른 미니게임이었으면 더 좋았을거 같아요..ㅠㅠ
