Kia ora Penelope, thank you for leaving a review for us :) I am sorry to hear that the layout of our hostel did not suit you though. We have the hostel split up into 6 main wings so there is additional security for each area, and to spread our guests out across the 5x kitchens of the building. You are most welcome to request a room on the ground floor next time you stay with us if this will be more convenient :) See you next time!

We have a very bad experience staying there this time, it was too nosy from the neighbours and in general the crowd was in their 20th. So I wouldn’t recommend it if you need some quiet time.
Response from Pauline Trek Team on 16 Jan 2024
Kia Ora Alexander, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us just after Christmas. We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a positive experience. We are a hostel and many of our guests would be young backpackers that are in their early 20's. However, we do have a no noise policy in place from 11 pm so we were disappointed to hear that you found the hostel noisy in general. We do have a security guard on site to enforce this rule and our receptionists are always happy to help and go talk to guest if they are being too loud. We’re constantly striving for excellence in customer service, guest comfort, room functionality and an overall high level of guest satisfaction, so thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. Safe travels!

Trek Global Backpackers was the perfect stay for me, everything was clean, the noise level was great and it had a great chilled, social atmosphere. Will definitely be staying here next time I'm around the Wellington area.

I want to say I loved my stay, but because the property was in the midst of painting the walls on our floor, it was not great. Lots of noise (at 4am from the kitchen by our room), lots of dust and paint fumes, tripping hazards where tarp had come up. Yeah, not great. BUT, of the four front desk people we talked to three were absolute stars. Very helpful. Very friendly. I think I'll come back to see what the renovation does for the place. It's got good bones and great people and it's in a really convenient location. I'll be back.

The only annoying thing was that put sheets were in a balled up on the bed. So we had to put the sheets on the bed. Also the duvets were just chucked on the floor.

Kia Ora Mekaela,I am sorry to hear about the state of your room when you arrived. This is definitely not the standard for our rooms; checking in with reception could have had this fixed so your bed was fully made for your first night. I hope the rest of your stay was pleasant overall. Safe Travels!Nga Mihi

Super friendly staff, obliging (lent me a travel adapter!), helpful with guidance about transport. Property was fine, in very decent and well maintained condition considering the throughput of guests - my first backpackers experience, so didn't know what to expect really, but came away impressed with how well organised the place was. Bed was comfortable.

Trek global is an awesome backpacker facility. I experienced good hospitality and housekeeping. A special mentioning about Sharon ( receptionist, she was in the morning shift on 19th July ) she is a great asset to your company as she has amazing customer service skills and I have observed that she and the other guy in the reception attends all the guests with patience and take extra efforts to help the needy ones in the city !! Kindly use this email for your appraisal, recognise and for rewarding the deserving staff. PS: is there a way to make rooms more ventilated ,, with four people in a room it’s difficult to breath in the night !! :-) This feed is given by a hospitality specialist.

One night stay
This place is fine overall for the price you pay so can't be to critical Quite difficult to find a room on your own even if you don't mind paying for it Was slightly disappointed to take a room that was actually cheaper than the room I originally payed for with the assurance no one else would be in there to come back and find someone else sleeping in another bed

Hi Joshua, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We do have private rooms, but they do cost a little more. No team member should be assuring you that a shared-room type would be empty - we apologise for the miscommunication. Safe travels, Trek Team
