Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- mwhamburgerSeattle, WA854 contributionsthe museum offers a great tribute to those who sacrificed their lives during WWI and II, albeit depressing to realize the waste of human life.
Before exploring those floors we were introduced to the Haka dance. Well done. You're told when you can and cannot take photos.
The museum also has a marvelous exhibit of the Maori life and their culture. Fascinating and a must see.
Allow a min. of 2 hrs. for everything.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tania D49 contributionsAfter the rather soulless Auckland CBD, it was nice to walk a couple of kilometres to Ponsonby; a place with a good vibe, lots of people sitting at cafes, vintage stores and upmarket boutiques too. Loads of good restaurants and food options. And if you take a stroll down the side streets of Ponsonby Road, you’ll be charmed by the lovely period homes, wide tree lined streets and tranquility.Written 30 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tabathalongaWellington, New Zealand27 contributionsI recently contacted Auckland Stardome Observatory regarding the Pink Floyd 50th Anniversary of the Dark Side of the Moon show, which was sold out. On the 29th of April, I called to inquire about any available tickets. While they initially had none, the staff were happy to take my contact details and promised to call me if any cancellations occurred.
The following day, on the 30th, I called again and was pleased to learn that they had my details ready and assured me they would keep me informed. Around 6 PM that day, I received an enthusiastic call from a team member who was delighted to inform me that tickets had become available due to a cancellation.
Thanks to their excellent service, I had the opportunity to see one of the most amazing shows ever. The concert was stunning, with a beautiful display. However, what truly stood out was the outstanding customer service. The staff were always happy, willing to help, and went above and beyond to ensure a great experience.
I highly recommend visiting Auckland Stardome Observatory. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

Seemed that there was not a lot of space to set out our luggage. The location was great and everyone at the hotel was very helpful.

- lorn61 contributionsThe casino id fine as always and fun. We Dec to eat in Food Republic where the food is on OK meal. It was the length of time it took to order that was a problem. There were 4 staff behind the checkouts and not one of them was taking orders. They had to make drinks and prepare things which took them away from dealing with the queue forming .Not their fault, they need beer management to make sure everything moves along quickly. It is a bad setup.Written 1 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Chrystal the Kiwi đź’™Taupo, New Zealand126 contributionsAttended an open floor concert,
Arena well set up for concerts.
Security presence was great, including being wand scanned on entry.
Toilets let the place down. Ladies toilets were leaking and had flooded not an hour into the show. Although I did get feedback from the guys the male toilets were the cleanest they had used.
Wouldn't hesitate to see another show there.Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
