The first night cold in the room but the staff fixed the issue next day. ##### Ngoc Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 12 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay. It took a little while to get used to the fact that this property is unmanned but it actually worked very well. Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower pressure was great - although the shower is protected only by a curtain so not super private but wasn’t an issue. The bed was comfy. We stayed in a private room which even had a smart tv! Hostel luxury! Would definitely recommend. It is in the middle of nowhere but easy to access Whakapapa village and the other attractions in the area ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tamera 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great property warm rooms easy check in and out ##### Tamera Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sampath 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall the experience was good. ##### Sampath Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cody 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Good for price ##### Cody Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jasmine 8 Aug 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the family room because of the heating was excellent, However the backpackers needs staff as there were guest hogging amenties such as moive room and kitch area gets over crowded ##### Jasmine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandeep 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities Love you ##### Sandeep Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nellie 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities It was good the only problem is the internet service is not good in our room bunk bed so low ##### Nellie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### S 24 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent for what we needed and ok price. ##### S Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charisse 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The water has low pressure dificult to shower but this is the only concern.

I decided to stay a night on my way up north. My sleep was not good. There was a machine sound that came on and off nearby keeping me awake; a generator or something. The light from the passageway leaked in the cracks around the door; had to put bags in front to stop the light coming through bottom of door. The mattress seemed like it was not flat and was hard to sleep on; wasn't sure if it was the mattress or an uneven floor, I think the mattress; hard to find a flat spot to sleep on; or maybe it was the bed frame itself. My back didn't feel that great in the morning; didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked. The room I was in was Room 14. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jong 14 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Not again. ##### Jong Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hoang 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities . ##### Hoang Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nimesh 29 Jul 2025 ##### Nimesh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abraham 27 Jul 2025 ##### Abraham Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Indika 18 Jul 2025 ##### Indika Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Soman 14 Jul 2025 ##### Soman Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandeep 5 Jul 2025 ##### Sandeep Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marvin 27 Jun 2025 ##### Marvin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucky 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Lucky Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Seth Isla Paraiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mercadal-Hotels-Aparthotel-Isla-Paraiso.h9553333.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d781-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Lord's Cricket Ground](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lords-Cricket-Ground-Hotels.0-l6047486-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Merthyr Tydfil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Merthyr-Tydfil-Hotels.d182869.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Venezia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Venezia.h1126959.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Frimley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Frimley-Hotels.s50-0-d6257057.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [FERGUS Bermudas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-FERGUS-Bermudas.h3234994.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Pollards Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Neston-Hotels-Pollards-Inn.h38873056.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Medway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Medway-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d553248634717500159-tBudgetHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Ginza Corridor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Ginza-Corridor.h77131836.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Abuja (ABV) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abv/bhx/abuja-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Perth (PER) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/per/bne/perth-to-brisbane) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/mbj/london-to-montego-bay) ### Activities > [Things to do in Chatham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Chatham.d179534.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Balearic Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balearic-Islands.d6047891.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Ireland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/84/Ireland) ### General > [Visit Tunisia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tunisia.dx182) > > [Visit Lamberton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lamberton.dx3000010847)
