Pretty good game over all. Plenty to do. Gets to the action quick enough and keeps it going for quite a while. I love the body variety in the girls. It's not just all DD+ boob sizes and they're not all the same height!
My biggest complaint is that there are no sounds. It would be nice to at least have some smacking sound for the spankings.
The only characters that have a "bad" path are Nia and Sylvia with their slave routes. Creating a dark route for the whole game would double the work. That is also not a story I want to tell.
From what I recall of other times this was asked, it's clear the itch.io app has strange download issues. Runey is not itch.io's dev though, he can't fix that. I do recall him and/or others suggesting simply using the website itself, which works fine. Patreon links are also an option.
Hey I'm trying to play the game on joiplay and I get this error. Tried using many different versions of joiplay all of em give this error. What am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I'm guessing the "minuses" (downvotes) come from the fact your main complaint is an issue with JoiPlay's UI, which you are raising with the creator and community of just one game played on it, instead of JoiPlay's developers. As for the "lack of an official apk" part, please read the first sentence of the download section. If you have a way to compress nearly 80gB down below 2gB without noticeable quality loss, please let us know, as that's impossible.
I did not complain about the lack of an official APK, because I wrote about it earlier, so there is absolutely no need to point out the instructions to me.
And about the community of one game: I indicated above that I had already write to the author (because this problem is clearly visible here because of the choice of UI in the game settings) and asked for support so that someone would also respond and also write to him.
The last sentence of the very comment I replied to has you complaining about no apk. Also, yeah dude, I read your comment, but saying you "wrote to" the JoiPlay devs doesn't explain why you decided to make the exact same complaint to, again, *the developer of just one game that runs on JoiPlay*. Runey is not a dev for JoiPlay. He can't help you. He develops Harem Hotel. That's like complaining to the McDonalds cashier that their burgers are disgusting. The cashier doesn't make them.
I’ve always been used to answering point-by-point. So…
First of all, I didn’t complain about the lack of an APK version. There is a difference between it and stating the fact that there is no alternative (at the moment) to playing on mobile devices, in the form of using this emulator. We have a saying in our country: “I’m talking about potatoes, and you say give me some of them.” I wanted to draw attention to the fact that that program is well-known, and that mobile players use it mainly. And I personally accepted the rejection of the mobile version already when only the respected Runey wrote about it in Discord.
Secondly, a complaint and feedback are also slightly different things. I have always treated Runey with respect, as a single work of this scale is admirable. But it also collects reviews with errors. And what I decided to do: I saw a minor problem, roughly found the original source and what it is related to, pointed out to both authors (the emulator and the game) and asked for support from the game community, since the author of Joiplay is generally silent.
Third, “He can’t help you.” It’s good, but it’s not good to check for him and decide for him, too. I asked you to pay attention, and, if possible, try to do something if there is a desire (this is all about that line - or for someone to comment on why it is not needed, or there would be an alternative to it, I can’t say).
Fourth, the comparison is quite good, I laughed. But I didn’t complain about the taste of the burger, I just pointed out that they forgot to add the salad. Feedback - there is not always a complaint or whining.
I will not continue the polemic further, it is useless to cling to each other’s words. It would be better to have something about the problems. If someone sees this, responds to author of game, because one person was ignored; he will suddenly correct the situation - and it will be generally good. There is a way to solve the problem - good. There will be one less problem in the world. Can’t solve the problem - that’s okay. Love for the game will not diminish.
Perhaps the meaning of some of my phrases is distorted by the translator, but did not want to offend anyone.
That’s something like that.
My theory is that the "minuses" come from the fact that there is wild kiddo running amok minusing everything he sees. Just look at the comments, its ridiculous. its like someone wrote a downvote bot.
That one riddle girl is asking a question and idk the answer and i think its holding me back cuz i cant get the android to friendship level 26 what do i do
Kate's events and riddles are unrelated to Android. For the solution, remember the four letters you gave in her four riddle sets. Enter them and she'll give you a big hint, aka how they're arranged. She did specifically say in the last set that you've gained knowledge that would lead to a reward very soon, after all.
Right then, just seeking a direct spoiler for some fun riddles, that's fine. Itch.io doesn't seem to have a spoiler text thing so I'll just drop some lines so it has to be clicked on at least.

vore
Like I said, each letter from each set. That's E - R - O - V. Enter them and she says "You're looking at things backwards". Enter them backwards, "vore". She'll explain immediately why she chose that word.
that would be cool... but lets see... we don't even have any news regarding the last room on the 2nd floor yet. (next door to autumn and directly above maria)
I have an idea: the F&E shower scene. If one of them takes a shower, when entering the room it will show: F is taking a shower and E is in the room and vice versa, I think this way is more suitable
I love the game but when I downloaded version 13.2 and tried to unzip the folder it gave me an error and I tried deleting the folder and reinstall it but still the same error
This game is so good. After completing all the main stories, the message you give is so genuine and heartwarming. You're an amazing creator, Runey, and I can't wait to see how everyone's stories develop even further. Keep up the great work! <3
Runey this game is amazing, but im blocked in Felicity&Emma ashley event so i can't continue with the story (it require increase the ashley friendship,but i have already the friendship at Max)
At one point in the story, it's required for Ashley's and F&E's friendships to be at a certain number. This event is the vacation in the snowy cabin event. If you went passed that then you encountered a bug, or adjusted the values somehow. I don't know how this could be happening, let me know if you find out why.
Omg Runey this is amazing. I wasn't sure if I should give it a try but I am so glad that I did. I loved the emotions through the game, really well done with the scenery and the atmosphere. You'll be the first and (prop) only dev here that I'll support. Pls keep up this amazing project!!
(This was the only game novel I read every dialog too)
hey, i haven´t dowloaded yhe most recent version but i´m sure i will love it, i just wanted to say this is one of my favorites but because of problems i can´t donate to you so i just wanted to thank you for this game because i am enjoying the story so far
Hi Runey, have you considered increasing the level of compression of the images to reduce the overall size of the game? I used cwebp to re-encode the images directory with cwebp quality level 25. Doing so reduced the size of that directory from ~7.1 GB to ~1.6GB. From the few images I spotchecked it seems like the increased compression doesn't damage the quality of the images too badly.
Of course, if you were feeling devious, you could tie the higher quality images to your Patreon tiers... But I think most people would be willing to make the quality trade-off for smaller download sizes and (potentially) more content, assuming it's holding you back.
The uncompressed size of the game is around 70GB - 80GB last time I checked. The current level of compression is the highest I could do without any more noticeable reduction in quality. I haven't heard of cwebp, could you explain further?
I'll double check the compression quality tonight. Maybe the compression artifacts are worse on specific images, or perhaps I made a mistake while spot-checking the compression quality.
On Ubuntu Linux it can be installed via "sudo apt install webp"
There are also multiple ways of setting the compression level of webp images during encoding. It's possible some quality targets are better suited to your images than others.
So I've spot-checked another couple dozen images, and I think I've got a decent handle on the compression artifacts as a result. There is certainly a "noticable" reduction in quality, but personally I wouldn't characterize it as drastic If that level of quality reduction is outside of what you can artistically accept, I and most of your other fans would fully understand and accept your artistic control.
From what I saw, there's a definite reduction in image quality with respect to lighting and textures within your renders. Some shapes seem to be oddly smoothed at this level of compression as well, and take on a more cartoonish and less photo-realstic feel as a result.
On the other hand, as the project develops you might revisit the compression issue with the workflow, logistical, and business aspects of releasing a 7.5GB .zip file in mind. For instance, I've noticed you've recently discontinued .apk Android releases of Harem Hotel because the file size has gotten too large. I play on PC, so it doesn't affect me. However, it might be possible to return to releasing .apk distributions of the game (assuming you find the effort worthwhile) by using this level of compression to significantly reduce that file size. I imagine some Android users would prefer a reduction in image quality over dropping .apk releases (of course you know better than I do). The small screen sizes of Android devices might also make the compression artifacts less significant.
If you're running into similar file size limitations or find yourself adjusting your workflow significantly to work around the challenges of managing such large builds it might be worth re-evaluating your compression level. If not, well, I've got fiber internet anyway, and I'm willing to wait an hour or two to experience new releases of your great game. I just thought I'd bring it up in case you're starting to feel large build sizes weigh down your creative process.
Hello, I tried downloading a newer version for android, but it never works I even tried multiple downloads. I'm playing with the version 11 that one I only had to download easily can you make it that easy again?
ANDROID)You need download the zip from (app) mega after that u need download RAR,JOIPLAY,REN PY PLUGIN JOIPLAY; after download these apps u need go on files select haremhotel share it with rar extract harem hotel (rar) and go on JOIPLAY click x write the name,version and go on executable file> choose and select download and click harem hotel rar (file) after u selected the file click on harem_hotel-v0.13.2-pc and click on harem_hotel.exe and click on choose and click on choose now u can play it.
Or you can enable beta builds in said playstore and use 1.01.500. There is a new beta, 1.01.630, which once more doesn't work though. Also, make sure you have the RenPy plugin too.
If you have further problems, try the JoiPlay Discord.
Again, you move the saves. It will differ slightly due to what phone you have, but I have been told the general file path is: ~\Android\data\cyou.joiplay.renpy\files\HaremHotel\saves
Pls help me, in lin ends, we have a part of selling my elf so i dont want a STUPID, DUMBASS GUY FUCK MY ELF AND BUY MY ELF, so help me dont sell my elf pls guys

Great game, are there any plans to expand the dungeon content?
That would be awesome
You may now request fun at Ellen’s desk
Ellen's desk don't have that.
Do you have to progress with the story?
Yes
Pretty good game over all. Plenty to do. Gets to the action quick enough and keeps it going for quite a while. I love the body variety in the girls. It's not just all DD+ boob sizes and they're not all the same height!
My biggest complaint is that there are no sounds. It would be nice to at least have some smacking sound for the spankings.
The only characters that have a "bad" path are Nia and Sylvia with their slave routes. Creating a dark route for the whole game would double the work. That is also not a story I want to tell.
Two Thumbs up!
how do I update on android without losing my progress? Im new sry
Download the new game file, move your save files over, delete the old game file.
Can you upload a game without the winer or 7zim file for android
For I can't manage to have 14gb free on my phone
Great game, been enjoying it for very long. Also make merch and I give kiss.
Thanks :)
same issue again, Cant donwload thru Itch client - says planning failed zip:not a valid zip file
but I do have 7zip installed and set as default for .zip extension.
The itch app doesn't work when trying to download.
Yes, but I was hoping for a fix.
From searching around, this looks like a common bug amongst the many games from different authors uploaded here on itch.io.
This is probably fixable, right?
Edit: I can see this error was asked before. I would suggest making faq of some sort.
From what I recall of other times this was asked, it's clear the itch.io app has strange download issues. Runey is not itch.io's dev though, he can't fix that.
I do recall him and/or others suggesting simply using the website itself, which works fine. Patreon links are also an option.

I wanna try this game but I can't... I'm on PC but it won't let me install for some reason, something about it not being a valid zip file?
Use the itch.io website, not the app.

You can either downgrade to version 1.01.400 and disable auto-update in the playstore,

hey, i was wondering why i cant download harem hotel here on the itch app ? can this be fixed?
Runey does not own itch.io
But you can always download from a mirror.
I'd recommend any of the links on his Patreon, they're the most reliable.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/harem-hotel-v0-2-53958680
I dm´d you on Patreon because of the problem with my discord account, which was hacked and got banned.
Unbanned! Please be more careful
i am on the itch app on pc unable to download the error i am getting is, ( opening archive: creating zip extractor: zip: not a valid zip file )
Use the website, the app doesn't work with downloads.
question. how do i go about updating? do i just delete my version and download most recent version?
Unless you're on Android, yes that's all you need to do. Simply download, install, launch, and load.
backup the saves folder, extract the zip file, then put the saves folder in your game folder
You might get bugs by doing this
Pls help me, in lin ends, we have a part of selling my elf so i dont want a STUPID, DUMBASS GUY FUCK MY ELF AND BUY MY ELF, so help me dont sell my elf pls guys
I'm not sure what you're referring to, no one fucks your elves. It's impossible to sell any of them.
How can I save my data in updating is there any way to save my progress or I just need to do it again
backup the saves folder, extract the zip file, then put the saves folder in your game folder
You might get bugs by doing this
So when is v0.14 coming out? Can we expect it in October or November?
October is likely (but runey will possibly correct me)
