We have family that live in Rotorua so we spent a lot of time with them. The disappointing bit was finding that the house had not been cleaning out of the previous occupants food that was left in a kitchen drawer and was rotting. It was eventually cleaned out, also the downstairs carpet smelt musty, as we had a baby coming from overseas, we cleaned the carpet ourselves and put an air freshener along with the air purifier down there which got rid of the smell Gernerally the stay was great, the family from Australia enjoyed their time in New Zealand and being originally from Rotorua, it was great to have a look around to see the changes that have happened. This was our first time using Book A Bach and was a good experience. ##### Kim L. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Amber H. 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Needs deep clean House has a bit of a stench (clearly separate from the sulfur smell locally) and is a bit of a pet stench, which I imagine has seeped into the walls and carpet from the original owners. The host tried to tell me no pets had stayed there, which is absurd since there are literally doggie doors built into the two back doors leading outside. The jet bathtub has rusted metal everywhere, so I certainly didn't want to use it. The showers had mold and piles of dust in the shower roof which was rather gross. The lower level, which had the majority of the twin beds including the bunk bed, smelled very musty. The washing machine smelled moldy. I will say there were a lot of plates, cups, silverware, etc. I would not want to stay here again. ##### Amber H.
