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.

The Mountain Chalet Motels has cute chalet type units, that are nice and quiet. Rooms are clean, but quite dated in their decor; the kitchen is not so large and has the bare minimum equipment The wifi is not very good: low signal and easy to disconnect. All in all this motel appears a little bit overpriced.

We stayed here for a night on way to the Aoraki/ Mt Cook and Geraldine visit - in Villa 2. It had a double bed and upstairs had 3 single beds. The rooms were spacious and kitchen had all cooking equipment. The view from the rooms was excellent. Hot and Cold options are available with air con too. The rooms were very cleans and the beds were comfortable. This is a serious value for money place.

Hopelessly overpriced for what you get. We have paid a similar price for far superior accommodation around the South Island.If I was a backpacker in my youth I might not mind mismatched crockery, ridiculously small glassware and the bare minimum in the kitchen. Supplies like salt and pepper obviously not checked. The electric blanket only worked on one side - is that safe? The shower head shot water in all directions including straight up and in your face. Reading lamps wobbly. The place advertised a BBQ. This was truly terrible - very shabby and the BBQ was unusable. One of the two tumble dryers was out of order meaning a lot of waiting around. Needs a lot of TLC. Need to do much, much better!

We booked for one night on booking.com for 31st December 2023. My credit card was charged immediately. The next day Glenna from the motel text me to say I would need to cancel my booking because they have a minimum 4 night stay over that period. She blamed it all on booking.com that I was able to book that date and never took any responsibility herself. I was made to feel like I had done something wrong?! The terms and conditions clearly said if I cancelled I wouldn’t receive a refund. Yet she asked me to cancel from my end (presumably to save on a penalty charge she would receive from booking.com). I said I thought the booking should still be honoured in the circumstances. She declined and then cancelled the booking from her end. I asked how I get my refund, she said I would need to contact booking.com and made no effort to assist me with that at all. The customer service was terrible and we will not stay here again or recommend it to others - we had previously stayed here. I am still now waiting on my refund!

Carol and I are so grateful for what you did for us when we had to abort our stay on 7th March due to us re-scheduling our travel arrangements.. You were so helpful, generous and your communication was excellent. Thank you very much.

Comfy room with small kitchen and bathroom. Good heat pump and electric blanket so even when it’s cold outside it’s toasty warm inside. Good location, walking distance to town/pub/cafes. Friendly staff and clean room. Quiet because of design.

Chalet type accomodation so separate chalets mean that it’s quiet. Rooms clean. Separate kitchen room and bathroom for each chalet. The shower floor is stainless steel and very slippery when showering so take extreme care. A short walk to town centre, restos and shops including a supermarket.

Have stay here a few times in the past and has been good. Pleasant staff and was checked in with a smile. Stayed in the Dolls House which suited us just fine, was clean and tidy but is getting close for a good spruce up. Would stay again if we need to be in Twizel.

We stayed here after finishing Alps2Ocean with our bikes. Very pleasant grounds, individual chalets, comfortable, clean, quiet and a good price. Also good laundry facilities and helpful staff. Would we stay here again. Very much so. Highly recommended.
