Cleanliness is one of the strong suits of the lodge. Many reviews spotlight the spotless bathrooms, fresh towels and well-maintained shared spaces. The friendly and accommodating staff further enhance the welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal place for socializing and relaxation.

However, staff interactions can be mixed. Many guests have highlighted the friendliness and helpfulness of certain staff members, including the owner and manager. Yet, there are significant mentions of negative experiences with some staff, particularly at reception, which have marred the overall guest experience for some.

The cramped and constricted nature of the parking lot makes maneuvering difficult, although some guests have found the parking convenient during less busy periods.

Lastly, the beds receive mixed feedback. While many find the single beds comfortable and linens clean, issues with old, saggy and squeaky mattresses, as well as wobbly beds with unlocked wheels, have been noted. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money remains a strong point for many guests, suggesting the bedding meets or exceeds expectations relative to the cost.

Overall,
Howard's Mountain Lodge is highly regarded for its cleanliness, comfort, convenience and value for money, making it a solid choice for travelers seeking a peaceful, well-located base for exploring the Tongariro region.
