Staff were welcoming and friendly. The beds provided a reasonably comfortable night's sleep. The main lounge offered a selection of enjoyable board games. However, the lack of air conditioning on a hot night was notable. The kitchen appliances were somewhat unreliable, and the extended wait for shower access due to one bathroom being out of order was inconvenient. A blocked shower outlet led to an overflow issue. Given these issues, personally, I don't plan on staying there again.

Although I had prepaid my stay through Expedia, the accommodation charged my credit card after I had checked out. I had to contact Expedia to get a refund. However, through no fault of mine, I have been hit with a SGD9 (NZD11) loss due to credit card fees and exchange rate conversions for the wrongful deduction and subsequent refund. Because of this, I cannot recommend this hostel.

If you would like to discuss this further please give us a callNga mihiWe blocked the room, fumigated the room by JAE Pestcontrol, they confirmed no traces of bed bugs.Most customers refused to help investigating apart from 2 pax , they stayed previously at Rock Solid backpacker in rotorua which still has not replied to any phone calls or email I sent. Also Turangi River Lodge was notified but they had no signs of bed bugs after their investigation.We treated the 2nd room with Kiwicare Bed bug prest control and a pesticide bomb as they were no signs again .Likely were mozzie bites , all our outdoor lights are on during nights and by the windows and ceilings are full of dead flies pretty much daily....so we will get those complaints again a lot dring spring

Had a very good stay, staff were very friendly and had good facilities. The only thing I’m gonna say is if you are in rooms 24-29 there is parking near the rooms but you got no access to the parking and would have to walk out of the property then walk around to get to the parking there. We used the main parking which is still a bit a of a walk. Also there is limited parking and when we came back from when we went out there were no parks available. Apart from that I did enjoy my stay with the Haka Lodge

Not for sleeping.
To start with the positives, this place has two nice, warm common areas with plenty of space to hang out and cook a meal. The people who work there are very friendly, and made our check in easy. However. For a hostel that has plenty of signs up saying it is not a party hostel and there should be no noise after 10:30, they sure did let a whole football team stay the night. What's more, they were spread out across the hostel so they stomped back and forth from room to room shouting. To the credit of the staff, they did seem to get ushered out of the hostel around 10:30, unfortunately when they came back at 3am there was little done to get them to quiet down. Even on a quiet night you can hear EVERYTHING in each room, so it's not a hostel for people who want a good night's sleep. We booked a private room, but half the football team was put in a dorm next to us so we were up all night. We could also hear the people on the other side of us snoring, and their text message alert, and their bathroom fan...you get the idea. On top of that the security isn't that good. The first night there was a random guy on the upstairs patio screaming into his phone at midnight. Not sure if he was staying here, but I felt uncomfortable having no way of contacting a night porter or other security staff to deal with it. Overall, I wouldn't stay here again. We had a similarly disappointing time at the other Haka Lodge, so I doubt we'd use them in the future.

Not worthy of the name “Haka”
Cleaning staff came in before checkout time both mornings of my stay. First morning they lifted the curtain to my bed, then turned off the fan that was going for air circulation due to very high humidity over the weekend. Didn’t clean bin, either. Second morning they abruptly turned about as I rushed to close my bed’s curtain as I was getting ready for leaving by checkout time. On-site staff did not quiet down loud group smoking and carrying on until 1:45am on the Saturday night in the parking lot, echoing louder up into the deck towards rooms. Stay in top bunk was incredibly unrestful, as your face is in the floorboards for the unit above and there is no underlay to quiet down the movements of the rooms above you. Pillows incredibly hot and stuffy. Old luggage & clothing left in under-bed storage bay, not cleared out. Broken curtain (thrown in corner of room) for lower bunk made it unusable to avoid noise from upstairs.
