10/10 Exceptional

Lovely private rooms with ensuite.
Shelby, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great apart from the cleaning

The bed was comfy, great privacy with the curtains and sturdy built beds. Cozy warm room, lots of showers etc. large kitchen, dining area, TV sofa section. Negatives: I was there for 4 days and they did not clean the room once, mugs left from previous people and a dirty carpet that needed a vacuum, not good. Some of the staff were approachable and friendly, others really weren't and just took over the shared spaces at night, mainly talking over the films in the TV area, so odd when there's other places to sit.

4/10 Fair

Had a private ensuite room (Room 80) which you expect a bit better experience than a dorm but might aswell have been. The door to the room was immediately next to the kitchen’s fridge door so was awoken by people making breakfast at 5am. There was also a cockroach in the bathroom we had to get rid of which was awful. Had very limited interaction with staff due to the app check-in etc. Would not stay again

Haka House was my First Choice for staying in Rotorua as is it conveniently located close to the town centre. Parking is free at the park close by or in front of the house except from 9-5 Mo-Fr 9-1(?) Asa, Sunday free Shame that some of the residents are not too tidy and seem to be unable to differentiate between the various garbage bins! The kitchen is well equipped and there is enough space for storing food. The boiling water reservoirs are great!
Gwendoline, 3-night trip

The hostel was comfortable , well equipped and conveniently located. There is no car park but there is free parking nearby

The shower was extremely dirty. Gross. It was also very noisy there’s was a big group who opened and closed the door over and over again until very late in the night. Very loud and we could hear people talking between room.
Océanne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs deep cleaning

The bathroom had an incredible amount of black mould on the bathroom ceiling which is unacceptable. Room 2
Abram, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and well-cleaned, so I was able to stay comfortably! It was also convenient to be able to charge my phone in bed! However, my room was on the first floor, so the noise of people going up and down the stairs and the voices of people checking out early in the morning made it difficult to sleep, which was unfortunate. Other than that it was really great！
Mai, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The accomodation was too noicy. We were on a King suite by the stairs. People are running up and down the stairs and the corridor. Rooms are not sound proof at all. I don’t recommend this place for anybody who’s looking forward to sleepin on a vacation.

8/10 Very good

Good value for money, bunk beds made private since they have thick curtains. Place was being remodeled so common areas were usable but smelled of paint fumes. Front staff / customer service was quite disappointing - for a hostel, they werent friendly or approachable at all.
Katlin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No frills

Very small room but comfortable. Very noisy when people were congregating in the courtyard or by the gate (which kept banging loudly all night when people came through, which wasn't much fun). Unpleasant smell came up from the shower after using. Free parking outside the hostel was very handy.
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was comfortable and clean. But it was lacking. No fan or AC in the room and there was no soap to bathe. The check in process was fine, but really no soap was surprising. Also the staff could be friendlier.
Sergio Castro, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They advertised AC but they didn’t have any and it was blazing hot, we had our windows open but we were right next to the kitchen and they had the lights on late and people were talking. We didn’t get any sleep and checked out at 6:30am.
2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Tv didn’t work and no one to get it going, no shower gel or shampoo, stuff then dumped it at our front door 40 min later. Just poor
Vaughan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room and facilities had everything for our 3-day stay. conveniently located in the city, with good street parking and a quiet street. Late check-in was easy with the lockbox. The room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were firm and comfortable. The little fridge, electric jug and crockery were appreciated. A few little issues. The room was very tight and small, with no room for luggage, the large unit with the hangers needed to be shelves for storage. Was weird with the single beds together, instead of a queen bed. Stayed for 3 nights with no change of towel service. The access security metal gate is heavy to open carrying gear, noisy opening and closing with people coming and going in the night when you are trying to sleep with the window open to cool a very hot room.

Nilton Ronei, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

金額を考えれば妥当。 一番困ったのは個室で室内シャワーのシャワーカーテンが短いが故にトイレと洗面台が全て湖になること。 なんであんなに短し襷に長しのシロモノを使うのか疑問。シャワーを浴びた後にトイレを含めた浴室全体から水を排水溝に流す作業が発生します。意味わかんない笑 その他ランドリーは洗濯機6ドル、乾燥機6ドル。 どちらもＱＲコード読取りで支払いはGoogleペイ。 他の口コミにあった騒音は感じず。その日は宿泊客が静かな人だったのかな？ とはいえ、お部屋が中庭向きで外に出るには必ず通る場所に面していたため、朝ゆっくりしたい方は音や話し声が聞こえるかも。
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Suited our family of four. Was nice to have the whole room to ourselves. The property is secure with comfortable bunks. Best bunk beds we’ve experienced. Big tidy kitchen with plenty of utensils, tea towels, and plates. The only downside was the kitchen near our room wasn’t functional (a broken tap) and had to go further to the main one through the outside stairs up and down in the wet weather. Some selfish people left their dirty dishes by the broken sink and in the fridge- which weren’t cleared the three days we were there.
Samuel David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great room. Good for what we needed it for. Unfortunately there was some male sports team staying there also and were extremely loud. The walls a very very thin. But overall it was an ok experience. Would go there again. Loved seeing all the tourists!
