Very Good

7.0

Room has everything you need and was in a good location in the village. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The shower was poor as the drain was clogged with other people's hair. Reported but as one night stay just gave up on it. Took a little while to heat up as well.

Very good staff at Haka Hostel. Ryan the Front Desk Manager was very good in navigating and supporting a tricky situation for me. He was very courteous and forthcoming to help and provide meaningful resolution tips. He had a cheerful and good attitude that he carried with him all the time which was excellent. Thank you Ryan. The other staff was also good at accommodating my request of change in my booking.

There are no street lights outside the hostel
