AussieLad76 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hey guys My girlie and I are gearing up for our first ever Japan trip, landing in late Jan for 14 days. We're spending 4 nights at Hakuba, so that I can continue my journey of self mauling via snowboards. We've been looking for a nice place to stay, and the Phoenix Wing Chalets look really nice. But I'm quite surprised that after two years of operation, there isn't a single TripAdvisor review (my bible when it comes to selecting accomodation). Anybody know anything about the place?

panhead_pete 27 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The fire places are from Finland - wonder if they are stoked by lovely brunettes with striking blue eyes. FWIW I use tripadvisor all the time and its rarely wrong.... Link to post Share on other sites
AussieLad76 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hmm, so nobody's heard of it? Is it just me, or should the lack of any TripAdvisor reviews be concerning? Oh well, we'll give it a shot and see how we go! Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Sure looks nice. I don't use tripadvisor and have in the past used a big pinch of salt after reading wildly different things on the same place perhaps posted by owners/enemies. If you go, tell us what it's like.

RobBright 35 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It's been 24hrs - give it a chance eh? It's pretty cheap - why not take on for the team, and write a review when you do stay there? Link to post Share on other sites
AussieLad76 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Will do guys - I always write TripAdvisor reviews on the places we stay, good or bad. Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 And let us know on here as well too please. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Trip advisor has a huge class action suit brewing against it. kwikchex is about to take them on actually. Phoenix wing is a good product but you will pay for it. It is owned by a very nice young Chinese lad nothing bad to say about him at all. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Kind of offtopic but interesting to read the case against TripAdvisor on the Kwikchex site. It sounds very strong because their system is too lax. As for Hakuba, you'll not find that many reviews overall and ymmv for the ones that exist. There will be some truth in some of them though, both good and bad. Link to post Share on other sites
