The tasks are simple and easy to do and working hours are more than respected, everything is very organized which I appreciate.

Had an amazing time at the guest house, it was such a nice peaceful and wholesome break away from my previous travels. Vincent and Claire were great hosts, who were very welcoming and helpful with any of our needs. It was great having an opportunity to ski, and see some of the local sites. I would be more than happy to come back again in the future, could not recommend this stay more!

Vincent and Claire are lovely people. They are always available if you need anything or have any questions. They even take you on weekly supermarket trips if you need groceries since the town is quite far from there. The job is pretty simple; mostly cleaning and preparing beds. I'd definitely recommend this experience and hope to meet them again someday.

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to volunteer at the guest house. Although March is past the peak powder season in Niseko, it's still a great time to snowboard. I really loved spending this month here. Vincent and Claire are kind and supportive, always doing their best to make sure we had a great experience and felt welcome. The work is well organized with a clear schedule system, making everything easy to follow. The workload in March was manageable, leaving plenty of free time. Tasks are also easy to learn. I highly recommend this place, and I would love to come back again!

Although the lodge is a bit far from the town itself, Vincent and Claire offered many options to move around, sometimes offering themselves to take us near our destinations or even pick us up. The tasks were really easy to complete and the people in general were very kind. There were so many moments we thanked them for, that we even ran out of ways to show our appreciation. We arrived on March and stayed there for a month for the low season. If you are not planning on skiing, there are plenty of places to visit and do some sightseeing. We are sure you will have a great experience.

It was a great experience, I can't recommend it enough. Tasks and hours were respected; the work itself might seem like a lot at first but it's not and it's really easy; also, you get a private room. Vincent and Claire are amazing hosts who'll listen to you and try help you as much as possible. If you have any questions just ask away. Vincent, as he said, is unbotherable haha I had never done any snowboarding at all, nor anything of the sort, so it was my first experience doing that. I went many days to the slopes and managed to improve quite a bit. I wanna come back. Thank you for everything!

I spent two incredible months at the guest house, surrounded by snow everywhere. I had the opportunity to improve my English with the entire team and guests and practice snowboarding every day. If you are also passionate about sports, this is the best opportunity! The managers, Vincent and Claire, are kind and always willing to help. We can only thank them!

If you want to experience a true winter season, Niseko is the place of your dreams. Snow every day and everywhere. As Brazilians who had only seen snow once in our lives, this opportunity was a huge achievement for us! Vincent and Claire are extremely attentive managers. All volunteers who work with them will be lucky to be guided by such patient people who are always willing to teach. We are very grateful and highly recommend this place. If you are unsure about going to the guest house, go and don't think twice! 🤍

A summer stay in Niseko with the warm managers Claire and Vincent is a nice way to discover the nature and area of South-West Hokkaido. Summer offers different festivals in the area, and the vulcanic region is ideal for hikes and onsens. Overall a positive experience and alternative introduction to Japan for me! The work itself is typical hotel work: cleaning, rooms, breakfast, cooking for Japanese bento boxes.

The guest house setting is beautiful, with great onsens and activities. The work is straightforward, and Vincent and Claire were very welcoming However, the organization and living conditions ruined the experience. The "private room" was a low attic where standing was impossible, with uncomfortable sofas instead of beds. With the managers on vacation, we faced heavy pressure and had to constantly supervise others to stay afloat. As the only Japanese speaker, I was repeatedly contacted on my days off, making proper rest impossible It's unfortunate: the location is superb, but the lack of comfort

Thank you for that honest feedback. We did underestimate the work load during our absence and that combined with other factors caused an unfair pressure to you and many team members that we are trully sorry about. We are already thinking on what's the best way to proceed next time we have to be away for a while to avoid reproducing that really terrible situation. Regarding the room, we also appreciate the feedback and are already taking action to get proper mattresses and ways to improve comfort
