The showers need a barrier at the bottom between the shower cubicle and the changing area - you get dressed in a pool of water at the moment - and I even got wet while someone else was showering next to me although I'd finished! - not huge issues 'cos the hostel is very cool but a point that would make it even better!

They lost my reservation (thankfully I had proof). They did however give me a free nights accom to make up for it, though not in the same quality room I had booked.

Receptionist here as a star she helped us so much with our bookings around Rotorua and with booking our caving trip to Waitomo, she had so much time for you. Kitchen was great, nice and big. Enjoyed our stay here.

Great staff, very friendly and super helpful. My big problem was with the bathrooms which were full of flies, live and dead ones decorating the showers everywhere. They didn't seem to bite so not too bad, just kinda gross. Also the couches in the tv room are quite dirty and uncomfortable. Otherwise great place, would be better if they put screens on the bathroom windows.
