would stay here again in a minute

great location, reasonable walking distance to most things you need. great, clean rooms and shared facilities. brekky exactly what you need before heading out to the slopes. staff were welcoming, friendly and super helpful. went out of their way to shuttle us to pick up hire gear (twice), even to dinner once and out to the mountains every morning. their recommendations for restaurants, mountains, hire gear and everything in between were spot on.

Had a good time here, will definitely stay here if travel with friends, but not too sure if travel with family.

Clean and well equipped amenities, friendly staff and just a very friendly and relaxing vibe from everyone staying here.

Nothing, but only advise for family staying here to be mindful that this is a lodge with shared bathroom which is not the same as having a bathroom to yourself.

100% would recommend

Absolutely could not fault this hostel. The facilities were excellent from the bedrooms (including the dorms) to the bathroom, kitchen, laundry, common spaces (including being exceptionally clean). Staff were excellent - super social and helpful, including the owners who spend a lot of time there. Free shuttles every morning to the slopes so you don't have to think about it (and easy to get back with a nearby bus stop). Walking distance to lots of great restaurants, an onsen, Lawsons, etc. The atmosphere was great, and really appeals to an awesome bunch of people. I would definitely stay again and would recommend this lodge to my friends and family.

Everything about my stay here was perfect.

Extremely comfortable and I’m sad I couldn’t stay longer

I had a great stay here. The staff were super friendly and helpful with anything I needed including restaurant recommendations and even what the weathers looking like, the facilities were excellent, best bed I’ve slept on in Japan so far, and the easy transfers to the mountains in the morning for snowboarding were a huge bonus. The location was convenient letting me walk to any restaurants or stores within 20 minutes, making it a solid choice for accommodation. Nice and quite but not far away.

Fresh, centrally located, great value

The dorm rooms, common rooms, and shared bathrooms all looked freshly renovated and were always kept clean. It was more chill than I expected. Most people I met were there to snowboard not to party. The staff were friendly and helpful and provided some decent restaurant and onsen recommendations. The location was a bit of a surprise, amongst the rice paddies, but in the end it was actually pretty close to everything - a 5 or 6 minute walk to the supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops, and ski buses. The free transfers to the lifts each morning were handy. Sounds like they've only just started providing these, but when I got up in time it made it easy to get around to the different mountains.

11 out of 10 accom, cannot recommend enough

Comfortable and clean both in the rooms, beds and communal areas. Very friendly staff always willing to help who go above and beyond what is expected of staff. Good services to the mountains, pleasant communal areas and modern and fresh, recently renovated. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Boomerang vibes ❤️

Great location, within walking distance of many amenities. The staff was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to cater to any needs or concerns. Which there was just lack of any concern. The beds were comfy and the breaky was quite satisfying. It's a place that makes you wanna return for a whole season

amazing stay and definitely will be back

- the staff were super friendly and always went above and beyond to help us out - location is super close to the Happo bus terminal - offered pick up and drop off to the bus terminal and train station at the beginning and end of our stay + to the rental shop to pick up our boards - homely feel in the lodge

I had a great time & met some amazing people at Starfall Lodge. I hope to come back!

Toast, eggs and cereal for breakfast. Pots & pans were available to cook for yourself.

I did not expect to do so much walking to get around, but that is just me being a little nitpicky.

Warm, welcomed and relaxed stay.

The staff and location of Stargell Lodge make it the best place to stay for a holiday in Hakuba. The lodge itself is in a fantastic location and offers food, drinks and bus shuttles just a short walk away. The quiet room is always filled with snowboarding or skiing videos for inspiration as well as chilled music for you to enjoy a coffee or bowl of cornflakes. The 6-bed dorm was spacious and always filled with considerate, like-minded individuals looking to enjoy the surrounds. The staff at the lodge create an extended-family feeling for guests, offering suggestions for activities and not-so-obvious runs for the adventurous. Cleaning is a priority for the staff so each morning there is a big clean of the lodge which adds to the relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We can not wait to come back, amazing place to stay

The thing I liked most was our hosts, words can not describe how welcomed we felt, it felt like we were staying with friends, everything from in my opinion was great advice on lift tickets to inside knowledge on each resort, also the fact u can wax ur board or skis which was a bonus, the team at Starfall made sure we got the most out of our experiences and also made sure everyone was comfortable weather ur a family or a group of friends they meet everybody’s needs, not to mention that we were always fed in the morning, toilet and showers were excellent and always clean and I would most definitely come back, also I should mention how close we were to Happo one bus terminal and ski resort, not to mention that Echoland and Hakuba base camp weren’t to much further. I just wana say a big thanks to Coen, Jaidon, Kate, Lloyd, and Chelsea, we could not have had the experience we had without all u guys, we felt blessed because of y’all, thank you so much 😊

everything you need and great personnel

this hostel style lodge had the most friendly personnel which made our stay in Hakuba run smoothly. they picked us up at the train station and drove us to the mountain (which we chose) each morning for 500 yen per person. they helped us and organized rentals. the lodge has everything you need for a stay in Hakuba. I would say to be aware that it is a hostel feeling and shared bathrooms etc so if this is not your thing, just be aware. they have a convenient dry room for ski gear. it is located in walking distance from restaurants and onsen. thank you for a great stay!

Staff, respect, conversation, everything. Bathrooms were warm and clean, people were open and respectable, just fantastic.

Nothing I didn't like, but it's not for people who can't respect quiet hours or bunking w strangers. Rules are to be followed here.

A quiet winter paradise

This is a walkable town with plenty of good restaurants and shops. English speaking in most of the places. Directly across from an onsen, bakery and food market down the street. You have your own section in the fridge and shelves and you can cook in their huge kitchen or eat out! Breakfast is simple and will get you on your way. Shuttles run around town constantly and there I one direct train from Tokyo so you don’t have to change and take buses. The owners are warm and knowledgeable about the area. They are sharing their sustainable low footprint lodge, be ready to compost and recycle too:). The rooms are named after constellations with bathrooms on the main floor of the two level building. Fully gutted and remodeled by the owners; a gem as it continues to grow! Views of maountains on all sides and rooms. The main common room hosts a large dining table, comfy couches and projector for movies and Netflix. Looking forward to going back.

Good but needs bus transfer

Hot showers, good staff service, morning trips to ski resorts

Too far from return shuttles from resorts, better to organise return day trips.
