Guest Reviews

Lee (9/5): -
Yin (8/5): - Nice kitchen and surrounding None
Kevin (10/5): -
Adrianna (10/5): Gem of a place, lucky find - This place is huge with a large and well stocked kitchen, bathroom facilities are plentiful and nice
Abera (10/5): Amazing place. Perfect for what we needed and perfect after a long day hiking. - Everything exceeded my expectations! The cleanliness, the other residents, the entertainment, the central heating, the views. Everything. 1000/10! Especially for the price
Anne-Laure (2/5): Adieu et plus jamais... - La poignée de ma porte de chambre était cassée, je devais jouer avec pour trouver la bonne position pour pouvoir entrer ou sortir mais je me suis retrouver un grans nombre de fois coincée dans le couloir ou dans ma chambre. La wifi fonctionne quand elle en a envie. Le chauffage.. laisse à désirer également, je pense que j'aurai dormis dehors par moment j'aurai eu tout aussi chaud, et pour cause, le chauffe se coupe pendant la nuit, plusieurs fois j'ai vu d'autres clients autour de la pompe à chaleur essayant de faire en sortant qu'on ai tous plus chaud mais sans succès, j'ai passé mon séjour à dormir en vêtements thermiques, jusqu'à ce que je comprenne pourquoi. Un manque de chauffage oui mais ma fenêtre ferme très très mal laissant entrer une grosse partie de l'air de dehors. J'ai voulu faire une machine à laver, j'ai payé via la plate-forme comme demandé, j'ai bien été débité mais la machine ne c'est jamais lancé, j'ai perdu $5... quand j'ai contacté le propriétaire j'ai eu des messages très condescendant. J'avais le même principe de machine à laver dans mes auberges précédentes et je n'ai jamais eu de problème mais apparemment pour le propriétaire je suis dois être une idiote. La communication était difficile car ils ne veulent pas se faire contacter par booking mais seulement par WhatsApp seulement avec une wifi qui ne fonctionne pas je ne pouvais pas télécharger WhatsApp. J'ai également signaler une bête vivant dans le toit et faisant beaucoup se bruit on m'a dit que c'était des oiseaux mais j'ai beaucoup de mal à y croire aux vu des bruits entendu.. bref quand on signale quelque chose au propriétaire le problème n'est pas l'établissement mais bien vous! Un gros problème pour accepter la critique constructive apparemment. Le matelas est creusé on s'en les lattes et le dessus de lit sent vraiment très mauvais et était tâché. La cuisine est dans un état lamentable.

Raivis (8/5): -
Freja (8/5): Great accommodation in a good location to explore the national park - Nice accommodation, good beds and spacious room with a little outdoor seating space. Big common areas with a well equipped kitchen. Easy parking right in front (you do need a car to stay here) The shower in the room had very low water pressure on with warmer water, did not try the communal showers
Sophie (9/5): Great, very affordable and comfy clean accommodation - Stayed here previously to hike, this time was driving cross country. It was extremely quiet due to being out of season, so everything was cleaner than last time. Lots of cooking equipment and everything you need. It was nice and warm inside, the showers are good pressure and hot. The lodge has a cosy feeling, and nice decor. The double room was better than last time, a bit more cosy, very comfy bed and 4 pillows. Perhaps could ensure the dish sponges are clean, they looked a bit old with food on.

DMITRII (9/5): -
Lauty (10/5): - Amazing place to stay. So beautiful place. Thanks for hosting us
DARIO (8/5): - La cocina es espectacular
Magali (8/5): Parfait pour 1 à 2 nuits pour profiter du parc de Tongariro. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable:) - Une bonne auberge de jeunesse, tout est plutôt bien pour y passer à un moment autour du parc de Tongariro. Les matelas sont usés (creusés), certains meilleurs que d’autres
Miyuru (8/5): Good location and value for money - Fully automated check - in system. Cenralized heat to the room, nice and clean bathrooms and showers. Nice dinning area Can’t complain
Schneider (4/5): Warme Unterkunft aber Schlaf wird einem nicht versprochen - Game Room ganz cool und mal etwas anderer Küchenraum ansonsten ganz cozy Es war nachts viel zu heiß: 3 Uhr aufgewacht komplett verschwitzt (ohne Decke) und es war unmöglich für mich im Zimmer wieder einzuschlafen weswegen ich mich mit Decke und Kissen in den Game Room gelegt habe wo die Temperaturen angenehmer waren. Küche war von 18-20 Uhr sehr überfüllt und wenn man früh schlafen will kann man das hier teils vergessen weil die Türen und Schlösser auch noch die lautesten die ich kenne sind. Die Betten auch nicht viel besser ohne Rost nur mit holzbrettern unterm Rücken. Aber naja sind ja auch nur 8€ die Nacht
PabloCapi (7/5): - Excelente ubicación para hacer el Tongariro. La cocina es muy amplia. En general el lugar esta limpio La cama es muy incomoda. No descansé bien por eso. En la habitación habían pocos enchufes para cargar celulares. Y a mi parecer, habían muchas camas
PAULINE (7/5): Agréable - Emplacement idéal à proximité du Tongariro. Chambre, salle de bain et cuisine propres. Rien à signaler.
Theodor Sebastian (10/5): -
Katy (8/5): -
Hayley (10/5): Very clean, well put together - Love the feel of the place. Met some pretty cool people The beds were comfortable
Sanne (8/5): Good value for money - Great is a very quirky way. Televisie room and biljart table are great. Family rooms are good. Quite run down, but everything works well.
Tékila01 (10/5): -
Cesar (7/5): Was ok - It was ok Nothing , it was ok
Lisa (10/5): This is quite basic option but it has all you need - shower & kitchen facilities, - Brilliant position for access to the Tongariro reserve. Good value. Kitchen was reasonably equipped if small and the dining area was good. Nice Communal lounge and TV room plus an extra film room.

Kate (9/5): Highly recommend perfect location to explore Whakapapa gorge - Great shared facilities clean bathroom and kitchen had everything we needed. Easy self check in process Rooms on the smaller side but great value for money so not a big deal
Fraser (10/5): Great price, clean and a fun vibe! - Very cool! Warm inside, very very clean for being hostless, and very cool place overall
Leo (10/5): - Perfect stay for night prior to tongariro crossing. Had everything we needed, a nice big tv, comfy beds.
Jiamin (9/5): -
Yumi (8/5): -
Mathilde (10/5): - Nous avons passé deux nuits, avec des enfants. Nous avons adoré notre séjour : salle de cinéma avec Netflix, salle de billard, des jeux de société, les douches sont très agréables, la cuisine est grande et bien fournie et des machines à laver. Le tout pour un très bon prix et proche de tongariro alpin Crossing. Tout se fait en autonomie, mais des gens sont là pour nous renseigner si besoin. Au top. Merci !
Sophia (10/5): -
Lyster (10/5): Clean and good value of what you have paid for. - Complete stuff in kitchen, it’s also spacious.
Fenny (7/5): Basic. Clean and functional! - The location. Close to the national park. Very clean. Good value. The mattresses were hard. One mattresses was severe worn out in the middle. The keypads are annoying to use. We had problems entering from the back because of the keypad.
Lourdes Sofía (9/5): - Por lo que pagamos,nos parecía que ofrecía más de lo que esperábamos. Los baños estaban limpios y el agua caliente. Se respetan los horarios y las camas son cómodas,las sábanas limpias. La cocina es amplia,nueva y ordenada. La sala de entretenimiento es súper amplia y la sala de cine es fantástica. Hubo un par de problemas con el check-in al ser todo por pantalla,pero nos lo solucionaron rápido por WhatsApp
JEAN-LUC (7/5): - I liked that the kitchen was very well equipped with multiple gas hobs and utensils. The whole setup was practice too. And kudos to the cleaners - great work!! The location is central to both northern and southern walks near the mountains. Overall it was a good stay with a nice social vibe. I would definitely stay again but in a larger room far from the kitchen noise. Oh, and WiFi was strong. It was just bad luck to have a twin bunk room next to the kitchen and even though the WhatsApp reply (no name) said it was sound proofed - it wasn't. Early morning hikers and late night eaters were disruptive....but now I know I can hike all day while being sleep deprived The mattreses were terrible. Totally worn out with no support left. And if your longer than 5'5ft , forget stretching the legs. A small thing but why not mention it - was that the eating bowls are too small (kids sized). Some adult sized bowls would be great for a long day of hiking fuel.
Benjamin (3/5): Cheap choice bad sleep - The staff was really friendly. There was no compromise to switch rooms or even beds. I had a snoring neighbour! The beds were extraordinarily uncomfortable! That made my hiking plans a lot more challenging!
Kuruwita (9/5): -
Samuel (3/5): - The bathroom doors to the female bathrooms were stuck open and the stalls did not allow any privacy. This is a safety issue for female guests when passersby can look and enter straight into the stalls from outside the bathrooms.
Richard (1/5): -
Josef (8/5): Für Backpacker perfekt! - Gute Lage
Josef Thomas (10/5): -
Pierre (10/5): - Clean and spacious hostel, Self check-in, read carrefully the instructions, Everything was great and a big support to the staff,

Adriana van Vollenhoven (9/5): - comodo y automatizado deberia haber personal por cualquier imprevisto en las intalaciones.
Marco (8/5): Buon punto di appoggio per il Tongagiro, ostelli pulito con il minimo necessario, cucina pilots e con tutto il necessari -
Ruisi (10/5): -
Anna (9/5): -
maddie (8/5): - Great kitchen facilities and always very clean. Check-in via a screen was very helpful for flexibility and location is beautiful. Our room hadn't been cleaned when we checked-in but we were moved to a better studio which was great. There is no plastic recycling and only one oven works.
Baptiste (6/5): - L’emplacement Arrivée autonome cuisine bien équipée Très mauvaise insonorisation pour les chambres proches de la cuisine (chambre 21 notamment). Certains ne respectent pas les horaires de fermeture de la cuisine et cela devient vite très bruyant.
Maria Angels (5/5): - ubicació i preu molt de soroll a la nit, s'escolta tot d'una habitació a una altre i no hi ha ningu per posar ordre. Els llits son MOLT incòmodes!!

Mr. MAUDER Karel (8/5): - Super lokalita, levné, self checkin Zastaralé sprchy, tekla jenom trochu teplá voda, malý pokoj
Caroline (7/5): Zeer praktisch! - De accommodatie is van alles voorzien. De rust, goede keuken en het feit dat het goed te combineren valt met deTongariro crossing. Ik had een paar plekken in een bus geboekt via Get your guide. Was goed geregeld. Je moet echter wel zelf nog 40 min. Rijden naar waar de bus vertrekt. Er waren ook mensen die zich met een busje lieten ophalen, dan moet je aan het eindpunt van de wandeling ook weer laten ophalen, en anders heb je daar je auto al staan.

Martin (9/5): Cheapest hostel witch unique atmosphere in my trip.. - Nice atmosphere, unusual buildings somehow connected together, big community room, sufficient kitchen.. when I arrived, structure was nearly empty Without car not much to do..
Esther (4/5): Geen aanrader - Het is er best druk, dus ik denk dat je als solo backpacks voldoende aanspraak kan hebben. Blijkbaar hadden we een budget kamer, wat inhoudt dat het matras doorgezakt was en je praktisch op de lattenbodem lag. Ook hoor je veel geluid uit de keuken, die vanaf 11 uur gesloten is. Als je contact zoekt met de accommodatie over activiteiten in de buurt, verwijzen ze je alleen door naar de website. Verder waren er in gemakkelijke ruimte douches die alleen met douche gordijn dicht kunnen iets verderop heb je ook deuren. Het stonk hier wel erg.
Einerth (7/5): - Bra boende kändes tryggt och prisvärt. Smidig incheckning. Lite hårda sängar tyvärr men det får man förvänta sig på denna standard.
Caroline (7/5): Prima verblijf m’n om Tangariro Crossing te doen - Schoon en veilig Prima eenvoudige 2 persoons kamer. Gedeelde douches waren prima en lekker warm, fijne tuin met picknick tafels en droogmolen, wasmachine konden we voor 5 NZ$ gebruiken. Het deed ons een beetje denken aan de berghutten vroeger. Code die krijgt bij inchecken is ok, maar bij ons kregen we de melding dat de batterij bijna op was op het codekastje op de kamerdeur, dus toen hebben de deur steeds maar open gelaten, waren dus bang dat we de kamer niet meer zouden kunnen betreden.
Lily (7/5): Different - Codes to access rooms, nice outdoor seating My room was dirty and not clean under the bed. Not proper mattresses, very thin on wooden beds. Just a blanket not a duvet. Everywhere was really dark including the hallway and our bedroom

Gage (7/5): Grateful for a warm bed and a hot shower on our travels - I liked that we got tired trying to drive to waitomo and the weather was bad. It was 2am and I saw it on our Google maps so we stopped. Our 2 kids were sleeping in the car. I went in to the front foyer. Clearly at that time no one was there to man it but the door was open and there were self check in kiosks which saved us big time. I Scanned there qr code booked us in for a couple hours rest carried my babies in to a warm bed and rested. What a life saver of a system.
Rafal (7/5): - Very close to the trail. Good for a night stay beforehand or after the Tongariro alpine crossing. Rather basic but is what you get for the price. Door code lockers are a bit annoying.
George (7/5): Good for a night - Rooms were big and clean WiFi wasn’t great and had to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom
Alan (7/5): -
Alon (6/5): - The kitchen and the shared areas I couldn't sleep well because the locks were very loud, so every time someone got in or out it make a lot of noises... Also the dryer wasn't working and luckily I had some extra clothes

Helen (9/5): - Sehr gute Lage für das Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Für das Geld und auch insgesamt kann man sich auf keinen Fall beschweren! Würde wieder herkommen

Sophie (8/5): - - very affordable - the hostel has a nice rustic cabin vibe and decor - bed was comfy, had 4 pillows for the double bed - kitchen was mostly well equipped, and kept clean - lack of forks in kitchen - the towels that were provided smelled really strange, like paint. - room could be cleaned, I found a tooth brush/pick on the carpet when I walked in
Jasper (10/5): -
Maria Virtudes (9/5): Muy buena solución con el cambio de habitación, mejorando con creces lo que habíamos reservado. - Cuando llegamos a nuestra habitación estaba sin limpiar, con las camas desechas y habían sido utilizadas. No había nadie en la recepción y lo comunicamos por mensaje. Nos cambiaron y nos dieron una habitación mejor porque al parecer habían tenido problemas con la limpieza. Esta habitación estaba súper bien y tenía un baño incluido así que compensaron el problema. Que no estuviera limpia la habitación pero lo compensador con el cambio.

Janne-Marie (3/5): Es war zweckmäßig. - Die Lage der Unterkunft war ein guter Ausgangspunkt für das Tongariro Crossing. Wir hatten bei der Ankunft in unserem Zimmer eine Maus und haben uns leider nicht wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist urig eingerichtet und die Betten sind leider sehr klein. Mit über 1,85m kann man im Bett liegen, sich allerdings nicht ausstrecken.
Mercedes (9/5): Repetiría - El sitio es muy original y es súper sencillo hacer el check in. Las zonas comunes están bien y la cocina es muy amplia Falta de una cafetera para poder hacer café

Terri (9/5): - I was worried it might be a dive at the price but was pleasantly surprised at the facility. Good size rooms, bathrooms were clean and serviceable. Kitchen had plenty of fridges and utensils etc. Mattresses were very thin so was not a comfortable sleep in the bunks. It was fine for one night though.
You (10/5): - great nil
hutchinson (6/5): -
Michaela (10/5): - atmosphere and facilities were great, would definitely recommend it for people who want to do hikes in the tongariro national Park

Stefan (4/5): Problem with entry codes - Location - problem with check in. Generated code did not open the door. The online help generated 5 codes, the fifth worked. In the morning i went to the kitchen and could not get back to the room. Code stoped working.
