Borders Beyond Reviews

Super backpacker. Si je retourne a Auckland je sais ou dormir. Merci.

Enjoyed my stay. Staff were helpful. Everything was clean. Not a strong community feeling but worth the money for sure. A bit out of the city if that's where you're headed, so you'll have to walk for 25 min to get to downtown or take a quick bus, which I was happy to do and knew going in.

It's a really friendly place, owned by Nice french people. We liked it a lot. It a 15 min walk from the center of Auckland, so not too bad. The only thing is that you have to pay for your shower, it's only an 8 min shower. Apart from that, the room was fine, not the best I had but it was cool to stay there.

I could not have asked for a better experience at Beyond Borders! David and Eve are extraordinary talents in this business. They restored my trust in customer service. They go WAY "beyond borders" of the hostel atmosphere ensuring that everyone has everything they need and assisting in providing additional information for travel need. I have recommended them to several people already and rebooked for May. They always be my preferred hostel when in the Auckland area! Keep doing what you do best!

the location of this bphotel is great. you can take the bus to anywhere and it is close to the citycentre. the atmosphere is good. the staff is very nice and willing to help and inform. the quality of the beds and the mattresses is poor. one bed was broken, one mattress was very thin. the blinds did not close so light was coming through the window.

Great value for money with decent honest staff looking after the place. Not for those seeking a 'flashpacker' experience as it's a bit of a rough diamond but easy to settle in and it feels like a home away from home. Plenty of space in the kitchen and really friendly guys and girls to hang out with (and not just French!). Space for the car and the neighbourhood is really quiet. I'll swing on by when I'm next in town. Merci beaucoup David & Eve!

Excellent reception on arrival Impeccable cleanliness 15min walk to the city centre Awesome staff and very friendly We go back in two weeks!!!

Very small hostel, limited kitchen and common area space. Bedroom was fine, again small but very clean. Was odd to pay for the showers and the fact that they were behind a partition in the kitchen. The owner David was a really lovely guy, very friendly and keen to give help and advice. Seemed to be a lot of permanent residents, so felt a lot like outsiders. Fairly good location, felt safe walking back at night time, bit of a walk to main part of Auckland but not a major problem. Very good price.

Great hostel, with great staff. would recommend this hostel to any backpacker. Has a very homely feel.

we stayed in the hotel two nights. staff and people were friendly but if any problem occured they were not willing to help. as soon as we reached the room we discovered that window is broken and cannot be closed, the only action taken by the owner was that we got one extra blanket..

Amazing hostel,very cosy.the best to meet others travellers. Full of french people. The owner are amazing.the room are confortable.hostel clean

Very nice hostel. Not too big, which made me feel comfortable and safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to friends. Even though there are a lot of French people staying at the hostel ;) Which is not that strange since the owner is French. This might be a pro for some and a con for others. It didn't bother me and I will definitely stay here again whenever I'm in Auckland.

This hostel is very suitable for young backpackers! We as a family - with low standards, we already live months in backpackerhotels and guesthouses, find it not suitable for a family. The room was smelly, the blinds didn't close, no locks on the lockers, no space for clothes. The kitchen was too small for all backpackers who want to cook their own meal, not enough space to sit to have dinner.

We personally did not like this hostel. Far from downtown. Not that clean. It was hard to fit in with the long stay backpackers. People sit and smoke on the front step which wafts up into the room through the window (which needs to be open because there is no AC. We wouldn't stay here again.

It is more a worker hostel. Nothing for only one night

atmosphere would be awesome if you\'re french ) you\'ll get humorous and very good information!

An amazing backpack, many frenchies but it feels like home!! :-D will come back for sure!! Everybody there is great!!

It's a nice quiet hostel on the edge of town which requires a 15 minute walk to the centre but with decent weather this is pleasant. We had a problem with our room but we were very well compensated by the very friendly staff! The facilities were good and there was always a shower/toilet free.

Staying at Borders Beyond has been the highlight of my trip in Auckland. It has great staff and an amazing community. The small feel of the hostel produced a cosy atmosphere. It was full of French/ European backpackers, which added to the overall community feeling of the hostel as I was able to experience NZ and French/European culture. Eve and Dave are simply amazing people and have did a great job with creating a hostel with a family like feel.

Very good and friendly staff. good atmosphere. if it wasn't in Auckland I would stay here for ages. I highly recommend it.
