Everyone was nice and the man at the bar was great! We even bought one of his crafted lamps. The only issue was on the first night, after a lot of travel, the shower ran out of hot water. It was back on the next night but that was not fun.

Great location for skiing; unreliable taxi access

Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable lodge. The bed was a bit dusty near the pillow and I have allergies. One suggestion I’d like to make is allow guests to sign up for a group evening shuttle at a certain time to nearby restaurants (for a fee) and then back at a certain time. Seems most meals in restaurants take 2 hours. It’s nice to try out different restaurants after a day of skiing and it’s a bummer when taxis take over an hour wait and charges 10,000 yen from Moiwa to Hirafu because they have to send a car from Kutchan. A twice-a-week free evening shuttle isn’t enough when some restaurants aren’t near Hirafu.

Far and away

It is jus so far removed from everything and since they have you they charge you a pretty penny for everything. For example they charged 600 yen for a beer and said it a great deal. You can buy the same beer at a nicer hotel lobby down the street for 270 yen. Its a nice place if you want to be away from everything and have little access to anything else.

Home for ski vacation

We had the best stay at Moiwa lodge and when we come back (not if) would not consider staying anywhere else. The staff were fantastic, the rooms were perfectly warm and cozy and it felt like coming home each day after an adventure. The staff were also very helpful in recommending local attractions such as onsens and what resort would be best to ski each day.

Cozy with a warm and friendly staff

Great skiing to be had at Moiwa, if you don't like crowds. Super friendly and helpful staff. Cozy atmosphere, and very friendly people. Food offered was good, and a great little bar. Would recommend having a car though if you are going to stay here and want to see other parts of Niseko. Moiwa is a little bit far removed from the other resorts of Niseko United. They do offer shuttles to the skiing but if you miss them or just want to pop over to Hirafu one evening it is going to be 4000 yen each way for a taxi.

8/10 Very good

Good value for what you paid for.

1) The lodge is far from town or any amenities. The nearest convenient store is about 20 minutes walk to One Niseko Tower Hotel where it has a tiny convenient store located at the hotel lobby. 2) The lodge provides pick up in limited spots, so have to arrange pick up-drop up prior to your arrival. 3) Staff are all very friendly and speak wonderful English. 4) The lodge is nearby a chairlift to Annupuri - which is good. 5) The room is too cold, fortunately the blanket is thick enough to keep me warm through the night. 6) The wash basin area is without heating. Too cold. 7) There's a bar and a restaurant inside the lodge. Serve western breakfast only as I didn't see any Japanese style food being displayed. 8) Some guests are noisy and loud. Bring ear plugs. 9) Spacious common area with a great view. Weak wi-fi tho. 10) Affordable and nice outdoor hot spring resort nearby. Entrance fee only costs 800 yen. Good value.

Unpretentious comfortable stay at Moiwa Lodge

Moiwa Lodge is an unpretentious old-style ski lodge. There's nothing fancy about the facility, but the atmosphere is magical. The staff are cheerful, knowledgeable and passionate about skiing/riding the Moiwa area. The rooms are spartan and the showers shared, but you're not there to spend time in your room. Hanging out in the common areas and bar interacting with the staff and other guests will make the stay memorable. Oh, and did I mention the skiing? Powderific!

国内なのに海外。英語堪能な方にオススメ。

近隣のリゾートホテルに宿泊する外国人の友人のコンダクターとして滞在。 (シャワーはそちらのホテルで借りてるので未評価) 朝ごはんのスクランブルエッグとベーコン、パンが海外の朝食をそのままに再現していて、これが病みつきになり、リゾートホテル側へ移る勧誘も有ったがそのまま滞在。 三階建の山小屋風外観が気分を盛り上げ、必要充分な施設と自分を待ってるかのようなベッドがまるで我が家のようでした。 海外のドミトリーほどオープンではないし、カーテンを締めれば個人の空間が確保されるので5日間の滞在もストレス無しで過ごせました。 スタッフさんも日本語が喋れる方もほぼ常時？1人はあるようなのでここら辺に滞在したい場合はお勧めの宿になります。

夏の利用もおすすめです。

スキー場のゲレンデから徒歩数分の好立地ですが、我々は夏の利用だったため、そこはあまり関係ありませんでしたが、道路からの入り口がちょっとわかりにくく、未舗装でやや荒れていたためバイクでの出入りは多少気を使いました。ロッジは8人まで宿泊可能（料金は人数関係ない）で、2Fは複数に別れたベッドルームだった。ベッドの足側が屋根の低いところにかかるため、寝ているときに膝を立たせると柱に当たりいたかった（笑）。室内は清潔で居心地もよかったが、8人用とするならばユニットバスは改善してほしいポイント。あと外国人の利用がほとんどのせいなのか、食器は多数あるものの箸がなかった。いろいろ気になったところを書きましたが、概ね満足しています。

Great place to stay

Great place to stay with really helpful and super-friendly staff. Great social spaces upstairs to meet people and chat about skiing/snow conditions etc. Location is great for skiing Mt. Moiwa but things can be tricky if you want to go for a meal in Hirafu. Stayed in a 12 person dorm, which was a bit busy during peak season (but at least it wakes you up for the morning skiing!). I'd definitely stay there again.
