8/10 Very good

The room was really clean and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The walls were really thin, so if somebody was talking in another room you could hear them and could also hear the communal areas if people were in there. Really convenient location!

Friendly people. Unfortunately, the room was dirty and much-used, especially the bathroom. The mattress is like a trampoline. The walls are very thin. Sorry for the bad rating, but the pictures give a wrong impression.

Finally a hostel in new zealand that is able to provide the essentials: body wash in the showers, private light and outlet next to each bed, and even a curtain for privacy. A rare gem and the best one I have been to so far. Also really quiet and has a no smoking/vaping policy even in the courtyard

2/10 Poor

Did not disclose that even for a longer stay the booking was on refundable and refused to refund the remainder of nights past my first one, when I realized the property looked nothing like the photos and was not suitable for the length of time I was in Taupo.

It was very convenient that you can do the online pre-check in a day ahead your booked date/arrival. This step made the check in seamless. The staff was very accommodating.

8/10 Very good

Clean, basic hostel accommodation. Well equipped kitchen, friendly & organised welcome on arrival. The only thing is the walls are thin, so I had next door's tv coming thru one wall and the other neighbour's snores through the other. But, it was well priced and reasonably central. A good place to stay when you juat need somewhere to sleep.
