I spent approximately two and half weeks at Hooting Owl and had a phenomenal time. Given that I was traveling solo and it was my first time in Japan the accommodation was perfect for my circumstances. The lodge had an area perfect for meeting and interacting with others and really good cooking and bathroom/showering facilities. I stayed in a two-person dorm and the bed was extremely comfortable. Overall the lodge was clean and well maintained. By far the most outstanding aspect of Hooting Owl for me was the staff. Billy, Jodie and Moo were absolutely fantastic. They were accommodating, friendly and helped out with any issues, and above all else, were really great company. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic every day! A huge amount gratitude to them for making my trip so enjoyable!

 

I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of December for a solo skiing trip. The staff in the house are super helpful and all very chill, they were willing to help with everything and welcomed hanging out with everyone staying at the lodge. The atmosphere in the house is great, I ended up meeting several different people while there. The location is just a short bus ride to the Hilton (it would be a daunting walk IMO in the snow), I was on the first gondola each morning with ease. There are two restaurants within walking distance too. If you're looking for affordable, functional and comfortable lodging in Niseko then Hooting Owl is your spot!
