Nice rooms, clean bathroom, spacious kitchen. Only down side is that is a bit far from the supermarket. Other than that 10/10.

Great location right by a beautiful lake — perfect for the scenery. The accommodation was generally clean and comfortable, and the bathroom in particular was well-maintained. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, a toaster, and microwave. However, some of the cookware could use a proper clean as there is burnt residue on them, and a few of the stovetops don’t work reliably. Cleanliness could be improved overall, as there was some rubbish under the bed. The walls are quite thin, so noise can be an issue — you can hear people walking up and down, as well as doors banging from guests coming in and out of rooms. It’s worth noting that guests need to bring their own towels, make their own beds on arrival, and strip the sheets before leaving. Overall, a pleasant stay in a fantastic location, with just a few practical improvements needed.

This is a standard youth hostel. The dorm room was a bit small, but overall it was pretty good. The bathrooms were very clean, and it was quiet enough at night. The kitchen was also quite large, and they even support Chinese check-in, which is great!

Due to the season, all the hotels in the area were booked out, so I had to stay in a dormitory room in this hotel. The hotel itself is nice. The room was very small, but clean and ok for this type of room. There is a shared kitchen, rest area, as well as laundry which is great. The location is 15-20 mins walk from the town center, but it’s ok. However, the service is not good. It was the male manager who checked me in. When I asked the manager if there was a breakfast option, he laughed at my face and told me: “Girl, your room is like what, 30 bucks and you want breakfast?”. This was really rude and unacceptable. Moreover, I didn’t even mean for the breakfast to be included in the room price, but wondered if I could buy one since I don’t have much experience of living in hostels. Therefore, I deduct some point for such an arrogant behavior from the staff who represent the hotel.

This is the best hostel I've stayed in for years. The rooms are quiet and clean, and the location is excellent, right by Lake Tekapo. All the facilities you need are available. Highly recommended!

The score I'm giving is for the environment – it's right across from the lake, and the view is absolutely beautiful. The room itself is very minimalist: one bed, three stools, with one of them conveniently placed by the head of the bed, perfect for holding a phone.
