The staff and the fellow travellors are definitely the highlight of this establishment. Owner herself drove us to the local onsen too since she was also coming back from a tiring ski day. Fantastic chats by the fireplace, knowledgable staffs about the ski locations. 5 minute walk to main street with good amount of restaurants. Highly recommended if youre a solo travellor wanting to meet some friends.

The only complaint I have is that its really cold in the house. The seconds stepping out the shower was brutal. Would recommend showering at the local onsens instead.

The staff were lovely. Ngoman and Bailey were very helpful and friendly - and breakfast was always served promptly! Sarah (the host) organised a hot pot dinner for all the guests at the lodge, which was both delicious and fun. She also took us to her favourite onsen, which became our favourite also. The location is pretty good, close to restaurants and bars, as well as the bus stop for the resorts. I would definitely stay at Kee Lodge again.

I wish there was an onsen closer to the lodge, but the short walk/drive was fine.

The staff were amazing and so helpful! It’s in great location in Echoland and the facilities were always clean and tidy. The free breakfast is also super helpful so you can get out onto the slopes ASAP. Easy walk down to the bus stop to access all mountains in the area. Staff were very responsive when I had questions before arriving and accepted my board bag before I arrived so my gear was ready and waiting when I got there. They also had some great local recommendations

Nothing

Felt comfortable straight away, traveling alone and not knowing anyone makes it hard. The staff were extremely friendly and welcomed you into a relaxed environment.

I stayed in a mixed dorm, had to store my things under my bed and when a new person entered the room they also stored their stuff under my bed. Only down side of sharing a too share a room and not have any real area designated for your luggage.

Sarah was arms open from the moment I walked through the door. I would highly recommend Kee Lodge to anyone for its location, staff and amenities. Included Breakfast exceeded my expectations for the cost of a night, and some nights we would all put in together and do cooking classes. The bunks are enclosed and very private with a massive amount of storage. All in all, I made some great mates, felt extremely welcomed and will be staying there again next year. Note: All of Hakuba is struggling with staffing issues, so don’t be shocked if a pick up isn’t available or you need to help out a little… and by little, I mean clean up after yourself (it’s a lodge). I had mates staying elsewhere paying 3x the amount I did and were helping out more… Thank you so much Sarah! Wish you all the best and hopefully see you in the not so distant future. Jake

I’m really struggling to think of any negatives for the price. The Hakuba staffing issues isn’t anyone’s fault and it isn’t hard to clean up after yourself anyway…

This place is awesome for skiers/snowboarders looking for a well maintained and comfortable living while having a blast at the snow. The staff are wonderful, easy going people who are always down for a laugh and more importantly a drink. Would 100% come again and highly recommend!

Very friendly staff, room was clean and comfortable, accom was easy to find and close to restaurants and the bus stop to go skiing.

The temperature for the heater in the room didn’t change so sometimes felt a bit cold, and only a couple showers for the whole place but never had to wait long

Culture, People/Staff, Onsen, Breakfast, living room, wood burner and location. Makes for a great place to stay with plenty of opportunities to explore Hakuba and Echoland.

Lack of space for baggage in my room, however given price cannot complain.

Very accessible to surrounding restaurants and base camp making it easy to get around Hakuba and the ski resorts. Had a spacious shared kitchen and lounge which was kept clean and tidy by the staff. Bedding was very comfortable and warm. Storage was no problem as was access to power and wifi.

Shared shower for the dorms with no dedicated drying rack in the room

Good lodge style breakfast, free parking, nice lodge common room, communal lodge activites. The host Sarah was very friendly and helpful, a great personality :) The feeling of the lodge was like coming home to a relative who had friends over, there's people coming and going and your welcome to join in the activities.

The hot water for showers had to be turned on by the staff, so you could not shower whenever you wanted.
