I was really disappointed by this hostel. The staff largely ignored me and offered no help in booking any tours. The wifi was only possible through the outside room, where everyone would have to sit on the floor on uncomfortable cushions. Would not recommend.

Other than the location which was a bit hard to find, this hostel was great. The food on offer was excellent (maybe I was just hungry after living for a week off camping food, but the BBQ was really tasty). The staff were really nice and made you feel at ease and the lounge area was peaceful and had a great view. I would definitely recommend.

The staff made this hostel a great place to stay. Stayed here before and after my hiking into the national park and they remembered my name as soon as I walked back in after a week away. Made a lot of effort to make you feel at home and help with any trip preparation. Not the best facilities, but the nice atmosphere more than makes up for it.

hi there, thanks for your comment, we liked you too! :-) You could have read our excellent directions on our website, hostelworld profile, your booking confirmation, facebook page, etc... Only 10 minutes walking from train station, super easy to find. Cheers!

Hi, it is nearly impossible to meet all demands. One duvet creates complaint, 2 as well. What can we do. Have a nice trip

Location and security were good but whilst the kitchen was clean the sheets on the beds were not particularly clean. There was also no oven in the kitchen which seemed odd. The added bonus of the rock wall was nice.

Tiki Lodge, Taupo, New Zealand
8.3
27th Jun 2014

Tiki Lodge was a nice if quiet place to stay in Taupo (though considering its winter, was understandable). Great location near the lake and town, though the staff wouldn't let stay in the common room after we checked out, which was annoying as we had a bit of a wait till our bus and it was quite cold outside. The toilet floor was also always wet, which seemed a bit weird.

View Property Reply

Thanks for feedback. As explained to guest - due to our 11am checkin policy - guests checking out are asked to vacate these areas to allow efficient cleaning of the lodge. It's difficult enough to work around current guests, constantly (politely) asking them to move so we can clean particular areas - let alone working around luggage/extra guests. The guest was offered to come back after cleaning and their luggage was stored for free. Toilet floor wet = guest with poor bathroom manners.

20th Jun 2014

A big let down, this hostel is located quite far away from central town and had terrible wifi which constantly cut out through our time there. The staff were very unprofessional, as when we first turned up the receptionist was too busy to greet us as he was drinking with his mates. Reception was usually shut throughout the day, when some information on the local area would have been beneficial. This seemed more like a place for long term stayers, though a plus was the big supermarket next door.

15th Jun 2014

This hostel makes for an interesting stay, though Christchurch itself was less interesting. Not much to do in the town, but if you are going to stay here, then Jailhouse is one of the better places to stay. It is in a nice location in Addington, though it can get pretty cold during the winter here.

Adventure Queenstown Hostel, Queenstown, New Zealand

9th Jun 2014

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Though it's not the cheapest, they provide free wifi (rare in NZ) great themed nights (e.g. mario cart tournament) and very friendly staff. There was mix up when booking skiing equipment, but they apologised immediately and refunded us the money back so no harm there. Is located right in the centre of town and I would definitely recommend to any people travelling to Queenstown.

A unique place to stay in Ubud. The garden surrounding the rooms is beautiful and creates a really nice atmosphere. It is also located very close to the monkey forest and a few shops and restaurants. There is no Air-con, though that seemed a regular trait throughout Ubud, and it could be annoying trying to locate the staff as half the time there was no-one at the desk.

A poor hostel in a great location. Right near the pier and surrounded by good bars, restaurants and diving instructors. The rooms are too dark though, there is no sort of atmopshere, the bar across the road was pretty poor and the showers and toilets were horrible, regularly full of bugs and very smelly. If you don't mind where you are staying its probably a good option for koh tao given the location.

We had a great time in Beijing at this hostel, it had a good location and felt very secure. The hostel staff even sent on my phone (after I forgot it) to the next hostel. The only criticism would be for the bathroom which had a weird layout and never seemed to drain properly, leaving a wet floor almost constantly.

I thought the staff were really helpful, they gave us some useful hints of where to visit and what bars to choose, while they were always open to questions. I would recommend to friends.
