### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2025-03-31, version 5.2.0*

No acknowledgment of communication. Many ghost “concierges”

### 1/5 — No response 🥺

*2022-11-15, version 5.2.0*

Used to be a free app , helped me to book an inn in Ine , kyoto in 2017, but there are no replies to my queries now… guess they are expecting some fees . 1star

### 3/5 — Cannot clear the notification dots

*2020-02-26, version 4.0.1*

This app is quite useful but lacks some improvements.

### 1/5 — Waste of Time for reservations!!!

*2019-09-27, version 3.16.0*

I had a four day conversation going repeatedly asking them to book me reservations close to my hotel and they kept delaying and after 5 days i have no reservations!  HUGE LET DOWN!  Don’t waste your money!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-08-28, version 3.11.2*

I like that this app helps people who travel to Japan get real info about the places they want to visit. Especially latest information which you may not get from the internet. 
You would usually get quick responses and concierges are super friendly! 
And I also love the fact that you can watch tabiko tv where concierges post videos about places all around Japan.

### 5/5 — Excelente herramienta / excellent tool

*2019-06-23, version 3.9.2*

I had doubts before I used it. It was an excellent tool to deal with the near impossible communication  with most of the high end restaurants in Tokyo. The team of Tabiko not only help with it but also give some advise. 

Tenia dudas antes de usar este servicio. Fue una herramienta excelente. Muy util para comunicarse con los restaurantes de alto nivel en Tokyo

### 2/5 — Worked well until it didn’t

*2019-05-17, version 3.6.7*

Worked well in the beginning.  But then I got signed out for some reason and couldn’t sign back in.  Tried to reset password but it took forever to get the reset password email and even when I finally received the email and tried the reset my password the app just doesn’t do anything.  You press ‘ok’ or log in and nothing happens.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-03-04, version 3.3.0*

Very helpful and I wish more people knew about this app when traveling. Our concierge was able to help us find restaurants, make reservations, and give us more info on events. I feel like this app would be great for anyone traveling who doesn’t know the language well.

### 5/5 — 服务一流，望保持！

*2019-02-27, version 3.2.2*

高效，热情，认真，负责！

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2019-02-12, version 2.2.17*

I can’t believe the amazing service I’ve just received with this app. I had some tricky questions about the best type of travel for my trip. I sent Mika my itinerary and she reviewed it and answered everything for me. I’ve heard a lot about the Japanese 
friendliness/service and I’ve experienced it already and I haven’t even arrived in Japan yet!!
