We got a twin room. It was pretty clean. there were some stains on the carpet and bedsheets, but I guess those ones are permanent. The showers and toilets were spotless. There is a hair dryer which is a great thing.nnThe kitchen is spacious and has everything you need for cooking and storing your food. The measure room is also spacious and clean.nnLoved our stay
Really sad to see this hostel go to waste. Obviously there are some issues with a lack of management and staff.nDuring our stay we noticed one of the boys continuously drinking on the job, kitchen was a mess and he did nothing, watched a plate break and didn't care.... Just on his phone and drinking all day.nThis was the dirtiest hostel I've ever stayed in. I don't think anyone cleans anything.nSheets didn't smell fresh, floors looked like they haven't been vacuumed in a year.nWe stayed for about a week and the garbages in the women's bathroom wasn't cleaned a single time.... And were overflowing. Dirt and dust around bunk beds as well as garbage left on beds.nYou could tell no one cleans out the fridges maybe ever.... Found things with month old dates on them, products well past their expiry in fridges.nThis hostel has so much potential and the bunk bed installations were so beautiful, with a nice big kitchen but unfortunately it's the lack of staff making this place what it is.
I don't believe this hostel deserves such a high rating. I booked through Booking.com and the photos were very deceiving.nnI had booked a private room with a private washroom. The walls to the rooms are so thin, I can hear the neighbours conversation clearly and worse, their sexy time.nnNor were the rooms properly cleaned! Upon my arrival I noticed the shower was dirty, there's mold buildup on the ceiling and corners of the shower floor and spider webs in the bathroom. The sink and the toilets do not look like they've been scrubbed cleaned in awhile.nnIf you're booking during the summer, take note there is no AC. You can open the windows but there is no mesh to stop bugs from coming into your room.nnThe rooms don't feel stable, you can feel the vibrations from people closing their car trunks outside, traffic, or when guest enter/leave their rooms. It's very sensitive.nnYes the price is very affordable, but if you're looking for more stability in a building, insulation for better privacy, and comfort without being disturbed by external factors, I believe spending a little extra on a different hostel or hotel would be a better choice.
I was really worried after booking due to all the bad reviews. However it was a very comfortable stay for us and the guy at the reception was very helpful.nnThe rooms could be cleaner and there was some mould in the bathroom but it wasn't terrible.nnIt was reasonably priced for what we got.
I have spent many nights over the years guiding groups at all the Haka house locations and they are generally good not has good as the pre-Covid YHAs they replaced. Rotorua though last night was a bad experience. First interaction was with a very rude and unfriendly reception. Then in general all our group’s rooms were not as clean as they should be with stained pillow cases, sordid shower curtains and toilets that needed a deep clean.nThe kitchen had grimy surfaces and microwaves and fridges that needed cleaning out.nAll in all a very disappointing experience and I sincerely hope they sort it out.
