    Excellent. So many helpful and friendly staff who ensure your stay is the best. My room was clean, quiet, and friendly. I was able to make friends with young travellers, couples, more seasoned travellers. It is a very inclusive environment. A gem...

    Everything was amazing. Right next to the bus stop. Staff were amazing. We forgot our passport and they sent to Tokyo in time for our flight out. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

    Beautiful staff providing such a lovely experience. I would stay here every time I return to niseko and was the best hostel I stayed in all of Japan. The staff also dropped and picked me up from my bus which was very handy. Would recommend to anyone

    Check-in was quick and easy and staff are very welcoming. The location is great because there is bus stop directly out the front. It's also a short walk to Milk Kobo and some restaurants. Rooms are comfortable with a nice view of the mountains...

    The cleanliness, the atmosphere, the location. the staff… everything! The nice thing about the lodge was the presentation, it wasn’t your standard lodge it has a lot of personal touches by the owner that made it very homely and welcoming.
