“Average, but if you want a good nights sleep I wouldn't recommend this accom.”
+Staff and facilities were good. Staff are very helpful and everything is well kept.
−The person staying in the room was very loud from 12.30-3.30am. He kept banging, couldn't get into his room and he seemed to be intoxicated. We kept getting woken up from his loud banging on the walls and with his door. Wouldn't recommend if you want a good nights sleep.

“Correctly Applying Gst on Bbh type bookins in NZ”
+The well laid out bedrooms with single beds (not bunk beds) and central heating (ex Thermal). Almost to oneself ( though not helping firms viability).
−That the owner would not issue a Gst Invoice, despite I assume it being the law. BBH says one has to get the Gst Invoice from the premises when staying. Owners view was this was paid overseas, not to him. And he was then concerned he would have to pay the Gst on it, and so he should! (He agreed in discussion that if a cash payment at the office, he would have to.) However he should at least be prepared to issue an invoice for the share of the room rate he receives from BBH. All I whuanted was the owners Gst number to add to my BBH booking receipt amount.) This seems the responsibility of BBH, to ensure all people THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE This seems the resonsibiliy first of BBH to ensure all business's signing up for its listing do issue Gst receipts or get delisted from the Site. So not confused!!!!! Otherwise all parties to contact IRD (Inland Revenue,)to get a new and proper definition of the rules, and have everyone to obey. Sincerely Michael Orchard.

“糟糕透顶”
+地理位置不错
−卫生条件很差，房间里蚂蚁甲壳虫蜘蛛都有，床单被子都是污迹，窗户和门晚上风一吹响个不停，走廊卫生间蜘蛛网遍布，脏乱差，设施老旧像上个世纪的。男老板态度极其恶劣，一听顾客是中国人，咄咄逼人毫无耐心一股老登味，我们想解决问题他倒想教训甚至威胁顾客。本来出来玩的被这个地方破坏了心情，真不明白这种地方怎么能开的下去。
