Great apart from the cleaning

The bed was comfy, great privacy with the curtains and sturdy built beds. Cozy warm room, lots of showers etc. large kitchen, dining area, TV sofa section. Negatives: I was there for 4 days and they did not clean the room once, mugs left from previous people and a dirty carpet that needed a vacuum, not good. Some of the staff were approachable and friendly, others really weren't and just took over the shared spaces at night, mainly talking over the films in the TV area, so odd when there's other places to sit.

The shower was extremely dirty. Gross. It was also very noisy there’s was a big group who opened and closed the door over and over again until very late in the night. Very loud and we could hear people talking between room.

Had a private ensuite room (Room 80) which you expect a bit better experience than a dorm but might aswell have been. The door to the room was immediately next to the kitchen’s fridge door so was awoken by people making breakfast at 5am. There was also a cockroach in the bathroom we had to get rid of which was awful. Had very limited interaction with staff due to the app check-in etc. Would not stay again

Good value for money, bunk beds made private since they have thick curtains. Place was being remodeled so common areas were usable but smelled of paint fumes. Front staff / customer service was quite disappointing - for a hostel, they werent friendly or approachable at all.

No frills

Very small room but comfortable. Very noisy when people were congregating in the courtyard or by the gate (which kept banging loudly all night when people came through, which wasn't much fun). Unpleasant smell came up from the shower after using. Free parking outside the hostel was very handy.

Staff were really satff on check in. Location was excellent. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy other things about our stay. Our family booked 3 twin bed rooms. None of the rooms had hot water in the showers. It was luke warm at best. The upstairs rooms were noisy with paper thin walls and people slamming doors all through the night. The ground floor apartment was opposite the dining hall. The door was slamming everytime some went through it, thw floor heating caused the room to be so hot we sweates all night under a sheet and had to open the sliding door as it got too hot to handle. The ensuit bathroom smelt like stale urine and the body wash in the shower was empty. I hate to complain but this was the most expensive place we've stayed, but by far the most problematic. We wanted to love it, but won't ne back.

Quick check in. The bed was great, not soft like in 90% of hotels, so I did not have a back pain. The room was very clean. The bathroom was reasonably clean. Quuet hours are 10pm-7 am, however one neighbor wad talking over the phone and laughing loudly at night for about an hour so i could not sleep. In my humble opinion such guests must be fined.

金額を考えれば妥当。一番困ったのは個室で室内シャワーのシャワーカーテンが短いが故にトイレと洗面台が全て湖になること。なんであんなに短し襷に長しのシロモノを使うのか疑問。シャワーを浴びた後にトイレを含めた浴室全体から水を排水溝に流す作業が発生します。意味わかんない笑その他ランドリーは洗濯機6ドル、乾燥機6ドル。どちらもＱＲコード読取りで支払いはGoogleペイ。他の口コミにあった騒音は感じず。その日は宿泊客が静かな人だったのかな？とはいえ、お部屋が中庭向きで外に出るには必ず通る場所に面していたため、朝ゆっくりしたい方は音や話し声が聞こえるかも。

This hostel's reception closes around 5 p.m., but I didn't notice the email explaining how to check in after hours, which made things quite difficult. Fortunately, someone happened to be at reception and helped me, so I was able to check in without any issues. Still, it made me feel like in this digital age, people without electronic devices might have a hard time staying here. HAKA was quite large in scale, with a spacious kitchen, dining area, and lounge located in a separate building. The rooms, toilets, and showers were well-equipped and clean. I stayed for two nights. Rotorua has wonderful hot springs, so I visited one on my second day. It’s a lovely town and the hostel was a pleasant place to stay.

Suited our family of four. Was nice to have the whole room to ourselves. The property is secure with comfortable bunks. Best bunk beds we’ve experienced. Big tidy kitchen with plenty of utensils, tea towels, and plates. The only downside was the kitchen near our room wasn’t functional (a broken tap) and had to go further to the main one through the outside stairs up and down in the wet weather. Some selfish people left their dirty dishes by the broken sink and in the fridge- which weren’t cleared the three days we were there.

Great room. Good for what we needed it for. Unfortunately there was some male sports team staying there also and were extremely loud. The walls a very very thin. But overall it was an ok experience. Would go there again. Loved seeing all the tourists!

No aircon so the room was a bit stuffy couldn’t open the window due mosquitoes and bugs. fly screen would’ve helped if they had them. The walls and ceiling are thin. I can hear the guy snoring upstairs.

This hostel has a great location near a geothermal park and feels more modern than others, though the toilets and showers could use an update. The spacious common area makes it easy to meet other travelers. My twin private room was tidy and well-presented, with a handy hanging area. Parking is on the street and paid during business hours, but I had no trouble finding a spot. The first night was fine, but the room got very hot in the afternoon and evening. There's no AC, which feels outdated, though fans are available on request. I left the window open to cool off, but that meant dealing with noise from the common area and the gate slamming shut—despite a sign, few seem to notice. Adding rubber or a soft-close mechanism would help, especially for nearby rooms. The biggest issue was noise from neighboring rooms. Despite a "quiet time," it wasn’t enforced, and the place seemed unstaffed at night. One room blasted music until 9 AM, while another group returned at 3:30 AM, talking loudly. The walls offer little soundproofing—I’ve slept better in dorms. There’s no way to report noise unless it’s an emergency, and the emergency line warns of charges for non-urgent calls. Overall, the hostel has good features, but I’d look elsewhere next time due to the noise and lack of staff presence.

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer im Nebengebäude, leider war dort zur gleichen Zeit auch eine Schulklasse untergebracht, die sehr laut waren. Wir hatten das Zimmer direkt neben der Küche und konnten jedes Wort hören. Abends war es dann jedoch sehr ruhig, auch die Straße hat man nicht gehört. Auf dem Weg ins Nebengebäude muss man die Koffer leider ein paar Stufen rauf und runter tragen. Das Zimmer selbst ist in einem super Zustand und wie auf den Bilder abgebildet. Es ist schön und modern eingerichtet und lädt zum Aufhalten ein. Das Badezimmer wurde leider von den vorigen Gästen nicht gut behandelt. An der Wand gab es Flecken vom Kondenswasser und der Boden war sehr abgenutzt. Das Seeufer und einige Restaurants können gut zu Fuß erreicht werden. Alles in allem kann man hier gut übernachten.

Haka House was my First Choice for staying in Rotorua as is it conveniently located close to the town centre. Parking is free at the park close by or in front of the house except from 9-5 Mo-Fr 9-1(?) Asa, Sunday free Shame that some of the residents are not too tidy and seem to be unable to differentiate between the various garbage bins! The kitchen is well equipped and there is enough space for storing food. The boiling water reservoirs are great!
