ベイスドバイ ザ レイク - ホステル(Based by the Lake)

The location was perfect!! highly recommend. but in the night, there was noise a bit from the bar in the 1st floor.

Muy bien ubicado con vistas al lago de taupo. La cocina y el baño muy limpios y completo.

The Lake view from the third floor accommodation was excellant. But the lift which only went up one floor was in very poor shape, soon after elevating the lift, the system ****ed quite violently, giving my partner and I quite a fright.

We booked 2 ensuite rooms for 2 couples. The location was excellent. Checkin was great and the staff were pleasant. The rooms were tired but clean. My only negative is that it was very hot in the rooms especially at night and there was only a fan in one of the rooms that we booked. The staff told us that there were not enough fans for everyone.

Great spot! Nice vibe. Huge kitchen with stuffed fridge worried me a bit on arrival (that it would be loud/party) but everyone was just friendly and chill. Very clean and nice environment, great location in town. Laundry facilities were always busy but I guess that can't always be helped on some dayes

Awful night at BATL .. situated next to a noisy late live music bar which was open until 3AM... no sleep until and other guests were complaining also. I was wearing ear plugs also. Terrible night and ruined my next day as had full itinerary planned but had to change plans. Very let down, will never stay again and would state to anyone who wants some normal sleep NOT to stay here at all.. oh yes and kettle didnt work so that was just the last straw this morning when i left very early.

Horrible noisy beds. No lockers. Wifi was not working at all and when I mentioned this to the staff they said I should go to McDonald's. Loud at night. Everything was quite old and not fresh.

We had requested a twin room as we are sisters but had one large double bed. Not terrible but we would have preferred separate beds. The room was lovely and so were the amenities. The lobby could use some upgrading considering it’s the first thing people see when they walk in. Good overall and near the lake

Terrible stay. After our key card didn't work we couldn't get into our room for ages. The staff on the night referred us to management for a refund who have just been plain rude. I will never stay there again and can't recommend to anyone. Dirty and tired property.
