Due to how busy the place was when I arrived I thought it was just me who didn't like the place so I came to Trip Advisor to see if it was just me. Granted I should have checked before hand but I booked through an agent who didn't reveal the name of the place until I'd booked for fear... more

I arrived on a Thursday night. My first room initially didn't have a bed made. I switched rooms and it was a bad choice. Thursday night was ok, had to leave because the kids were playing a drinking game. Friday was horrible. People were loud, drunk and I think were making out in the bed next to me. Terrible end... more

stayed at base in the sanctuary girls only section. showers & common lounges could have been cleaner, but rooms were warm & welcoming. very social atmosphere, especially at night. great service and amenities. the bar downstairs is packed and you get great specials staying at base. perfect location in auckland. tons of computers at global gossip inside. more

Booked this travelling alone and nearly 50 so I felt really old amongst the rest of the travellers there. Room was clean and tidy, had fridge and en-suite, though you had to keep the shower tap pressed in to keep the water running??? The place is bang in the centre of Auckland, so if you don't mind hostels this place... more

I chose to stay with Base Backpackers all around NZ north island because their website showed clean, safe backpackers in each area I was after and I know (having working the tourism industry) that what's shown in brochures and on websites are usually not what you get, but I felt it was totally trustworthy based on all of my NZ... more

Dirty sheets, uncomfortable bed, dirty kitchen, noisy and staff unfriendly. There is not much more I say. Staying here made me cancel booking with other Base backpackers. The only good thing is Base Auckland is in the centre of city. more

Pretty poor.

Base ACB is well located in the heart of Auckland, which was the appeal to us when we booked our private en-suite room. Not particularly cheap for a backpackers the room was priced in the region of NZ$90 per night. After a long flight from the UK we were looking forward to showering, changing and getting some air, we did... more

When my partner and I arrived we were told that there was someone staying in our room. I let the front desk know over the phone that my partner and I would be arriving at 3am. Despite this forewarning, our room was given away. We then asked about other places we could stay. The people at the front desk gave... more

This was by far and away the worse place I've stayed during two months of travelling. The reception staff were downright rude and refused to give me the rates for the room I'd booked on their own website, charging me more than the quoted price! I should have left there and then, but was too tired from the plane. Big... more
