We verify reviews to ensure the traveller booked with Expedia Group. Travellers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
We called over 10 times with only three answers to check to see if we could check in early to a room due to a wedding happening in the afternoon. To be told by three people different answers. My partner had to get ready in the public toilet. We will not stay at the Hilton Taupo again and will not recommend it.

Didn’t like that the room had no amenities - not even a sink. Needed a knife at 1 point. One of the walls had what looked like coffee splashed over it. Was hoping for a lake view room also but that didn’t happen. Bed was very comfortable. It looks very beautiful there so expected a bit more from the room.
It'll be interesting how this hotel navigates the post Covid-19 world. I'm unsure if they are still going to be able to deliver the same level of service that they previously offered. For example, we had to wait almost 2 hours for our room upon check-in and from what I understand, that was typical since they did not have enough staff cleaning the rooms. I wouldn't say that this is a complaint since this was typical throughout the Taupo region - not enough staff working for an overwhelmed tourist town.
Then we had to call each day to get get the room to be cleaned and when they did clean it, it was a very brief cleaning where they just changed the towels, cleaned the bathrooms, took out trash and made the bed. But this again is pervasive in the Taupo region where there are simply not enough hospitality workers anymore.
Otherwise, our room was quite nice. The pool was absolutely wonderful although it "broke" towards the end of our stay. The staff were as pleasant as they could be given the lack of them. You had to book every meal since they didn't have enough staff working breakfast or dinner.
