Hostel review
Bed was comfy, bathroom was a bit grim. TV didn’t work, bit noisy at night but it is a hostel so to be expected. WiFi was good, kitchen was available but we didn’t use it though.

I enjoyed my stay here. I stayed at two other Haka House properties and this one seemed like it needed some TLC and a bit of an update.

The hostel was clean and well presented. It was just that we didnt know we had booked into a Hostel. Must have pressed the wrong button when booking as we were in a hurry/

Review for Haka House Taupo:
We had 3 male staff and contractors knock and then very quickly proceed to open the door of the room we were in. This was surprising and uncomfortable as two women. They then proceeded to ask if a contractor could come on to look at the bathroom which was noted as ´being the worst by far’.

Perfect Night's Stay
I've not stayed in hostels much so I had a lot of questions that the staff were very happy to answer. They helped me with everything I needed and were very kind.
Hostel beds come with privacy curtains which kept things very cosy. I slept incredibly well and had a great shower. Everyone is friendly. Although the lower bunks are QUITE low, I bumped my head a lot. Great communal kitchen with all required free amenities, and great laundry services although be aware that you do need change.
