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.

- Mosi_009Brisbane, Australia16 contributionsI wanted to ski, so dropped my 3 year old girl off to Skiwiland. She didn't want to leave Mum and daddy's side, and there was a lot of tears. She had never been to the snow before. But Holly at Skiwiland said let's give it a try. She picked her up and took her straight to the other kids. I left and was able to look from a far. It seems like only after 15min She was outside in the snow doing snow angels with a smile. After a few hours they had her dancing and skiing down the small slope. I can't thank Holly and the other instructors enough for making our little girl so happy. Great service for the price. I would do it again.Written 22 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Suzanne NAhipara, New Zealand5 contributionsSmall Planet is a rare find; a local store with genuine people who live the life around the products they sell. They offered us solid advice about the best gear for our needs as we upgraded our 30 year old equipment, and they are authentically good folks. If you need gear, or have questions stop in. Buy Local!Written 5 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jaqui L1 contributionTotally disappointed at the rip-off prices at Queenstown ski fields and the policy of not refunding ski passes when the mountains are shut.
The skiing was OK at the Remarkables...but it shut early and good at Cardrona, but the whole experienced has been soured by the gouging through prices.
At least make the passes transferrable...it's not that hard.
Makes me sad to write this as I was born and grew up in NZ. Can't recommend Queenstown skiing without HUGE caveats about how to avoid being ripped off.Written 27 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The staff were super friendly and helpful… they made the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. We went on a trip with a big group and almost all of us hired from Browns, and we all couldn’t stop talking about how awesome they were to deal with. Seems like a lovely family run business, that clearly treat their staff really well because the staff were super friendly & all round good vibes to deal with!Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan N4 contributionsHad the most amazing day with James, Tarn and Mark today for our first time heli boarding. These guys are the most amazing, patient friendly guys we could have hoped for. They showed us such a good time, and catered to each of our experience levels….. we will be back for sure. See you fellas next year!Written 8 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jonathan S37 contributionsStaff were all friendly but some know the equipment and sizing better than others. Skis were god quality. Board and ski boots were old and had issues with the buckles. Well priced thoughWritten 9 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
