We didn't actually stay here as I had booked the wrong type of accommodation for us 3 older ladies. We needed 3 separate beds, an ensuite, and a small kitchen facility. The lovely lady at the desk however rang a motel in Otorohanga for us and booked us in there, which was much appreciated. So a big thanks to the lovely lady at the front desk.

Our stay was perfect, the staff was very welcoming and it was very clean everywhere. Thank you very much. :)
Close to the lake, great location. Budget friendly.
Great location. Safe. Quiet. We had milk in our fridge, tea coffee. Really lovely stay. Alley way nearby but still private. Fruit trees on property were yummy. House is warm. Comfortable if you have a family. Our children loved it. They call it our Hamilton house haha.
Great location. Best shower we’ve ever had. Great temperature and pressure. Coffee for a plunger and real milk. Warm room. Secure locking if rooms so we felt safe.
Location is fantastic and facilities are basic for a cheap stay.
The location was good. Pretty sunset views from the hostel garden. Free parking was very convenient. Cheap stay. Kayak and surfboard rentals were available.
Really like the privacy of curtains on the bunk beds and how sturdy they were. Also the convenience of a plug in each bunk for charging devices safely. lockable cupboards for possessions were good. The hostel had a welcoming and friendly vibe and good for socialising but not too loud late in the night too, so a great balance as a solo traveller. Facilities clean and tidy, cleaned well every morning.
It is a real backpackers and not just a bed space! It's set in the beautiful village of Raglan. The hostel offers a seated area with a view over the water. There are super facilities and areas where one can socialise. The staff are friendly and efficient. I have stayed here several times. Book early as it is very popular and there are very few budget properties in Raglan.
Good center location. 2 streets back from the water front. Plenty nearby places to eat and drink and get coffee and close to water sport tourist attractions. Others, a walk or quick drive such as Huka Falls and hot pools. The hostel is as to be expected if marked as a 3 star accomadation. Clean enough, safe feeling, cheap accomadation in convenient location but very basic. Bedding included, but you should bring towels and toiletries.
Raglan Backpackers is the best hostel i have seen so far. Location is good, the people are amazing & the have a hot tub! Everything is clean and tidy and the rooms are also very nice :)
A great location but it is a really tired motel I would probably call a backpackers standard. It was very clean but there are funny extension chords and multi packs all over the place not giving a sense of safety….. reception were really efficient and friendly….. a nice stay but I didn’t think it value for money
