Très bon emplacement pour un séjour autonome. Le personnel est très accueillant.

C’était abordable, bien équipé et bien situé.

Il aurait été intéressant d’avoir un rideau dans la douche mais ce commentaire est négligeable

Get new cleaners!

The location

The room was dirty! The shower & shower curtain smelt like urine and was moldy, there was a red drink that had been splashed and dripping down the walls onto the dirty, dusty skirtings. The beds were hard and the sheets hadn't been changed and had body hair/pubic hair on them. There was blood on the white duvet cover. The windows and sills were moldy. The only good thing was it had good heating

Would happily stay again

The location was great, less than 5 minutes to the lake/centre. The lodge was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was regularly cleaned and enough space to cook. The lounge area was very nice and comfortable and usually quiet so always space. The facilities like washers/ bathrooms etc. were all clean and in good condition.

The room was a little small so it was hard to move around with your bags in there. We were next door to the washing room and it was very loud from early in the morning (6:30am onwards).

Overall great stay - would return in future if we’re staying in taupo

Was clean and comfortable stay with good facilities making it very communal to interact with everyone!

Our room was next to the wash room and whenever somebody had a wash on the machine would bang against the wall making loads of noise in our room!

Good alternative in Taupo!

The hotel has toilets/showers in the room, the kitchen is large, good beds.

Depending on the room you stay in, it will be further from the kitchen, on colder or rainy days this could be a problem.

Bien

Las instalaciones estaban cómodas porque tenían privacidad.

No fue tanto por parte del establecimiento, sino por mis compañeras de cuarto. Como tenían muchas cosas, no hubo limpieza.

Nice backpacker lodge in Taupo

Good accomodation in beautiful Taupo, in summertime crowded though - you'll find always a place somewhere to eat if you mind the peak times. Very clean bathrooms, and a very good spot, not far away from the shop or beach. Rooms are not that big but you are in Taupo after all. Beds are good and the team is very friendly.

First Hostel Experience!

This was my first hostel experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Haka Lodge Taupo. The facilities were clean, the bedroom was a good size and I liked the privacy curtain that came with each bunk bed. I also liked that they had on-site parking! The location is perfect, just a short walk into town.

Nothing I can think of! Perhaps as it's now summer time the lack of air con, but we did have 2 fans in our room which was greatly appreciated!

Overnighting in Taupo

Double bedroom small with very comfortable bed. Spacious outdoor eating room with nice views

Needed a lot more tea towels in communal kitchen, what was available were very wet. Showers needed modernising. Thought it was a bit expensive, although did book close to arrival.

Clean hostel just triple check everything

Facilities are good: bathrooms, shower pressure is good too and rooms are clean. Lovely terrace, big kitchen Bunk beds with curtain for more privacy, comfy bed, clean bedding, and plugs to charge your phone and light in each one. I appreciate this I met a few members of the staff while there and they were friendly in person. They didn't charge me when I needed a towel, nice gesture.

I had a misunderstanding about my booking for 2 nights prior to my late arrival with one of the staff, all through the booking.com app messages. Also an issue with the payment that wasnt going through and they said they will be cancelling the booking. Just an advice for future travellers. They dont book you in unless you have checked in and can pay in person. Their rules, it is fine. So if you are arriving late, and doing the Crossing Tongariro and need a subtle bus from Taupo, book it yourself in advance. And triple check everything! Room a bit small, narrow for 4 people and their backpacks. Location: it is 10min up. I got late at night and there were not much around. I would choose something closer to the main street as solo female traveller
