I was disappointed with our stay. The hostel is dirty and needs a deep clean. Bathrooms full of hairs. Bedroom linen was dirty. Travellers sleeping in the communal areas. Security poor with door left open at night. Not the standard expected for a BBH hostel.

Dirty tired hostel

Bon accord desperately needs an upgrade! It's tired and worn and reminds me of an old flat that hosts all the teenage parties. Grubby and dare I say scungy. It's not somewhere I would choose to stay again, with one great exception, the staff! The couple currently managing the backpackers are wonderful! They are kind, personable and do a good job to keep the place as clean as possible. They are the only highlight of the place.

Lovely staff, tired facility

We stayed one night in Akaroa couple of weeks ago. I forgot my diary at the hostel, and I was really sad, because I have wrote down all my memories from New Zealand in it. 
Luckily the staff was so kind and sent it back to me on my address in Auckland - for no cost! I have never experienced such good service before - even on hotels. 
Also the hostel was nice and cozy and we really enjoyed our stay. If we ever come back, I want to spend my time at Bon Accord.

Sweetest staff

I had a room in the house which was clean, comfortable and warm.

Close to Shops & Restaurants

Pleasantly surprised by our stay at this backpackers. We had a double room and the place was generally clean, great location and  suited our needs for one nite stay.  Great location of being right in the Main Street and the Bach cafe wasn’t too noisy despite being right next door and had life music.  The shower bath could do with a bit of a scrub but happy to recommend and stay again.

Easter Sunday stay

Good handy location.Backpackers describes it - cost a bit higher probably due Akaroa being small but popular, so few options.'free parking' means there is free on-street parking nearby [not off street parking].Payment is by cash only [a BNZ ATM fairly handy]

Central and adequate

Clean establishment, comfy beds, great location. Shower only disappointing aspect, shower head needs attention.

I enjoyed my stay at Bon Accord. the staff was very friendly and it felt like I was staying at a friends home. The shared family room and outside area was very cozy and the kitchen was well equipped for my needs.

Home Comforts while on the road

This place is right in the centre of 'town' so within easy reach of everything. We weren't expecting much due to what we paid, but there are a few points worth mentioning I think for people to be aware of....1. The accommodation advertises 'free parking' but this is actually just on the street, if you can find a spot. We had to park in a 1 hour only spot initially and then move the car just round the corner.2. We had a double room with a shared bathroom. There's only one shower room and a separate toilet in the main house-the others are outside. We had to queue to use the toilet. The shower was so revolting looking that we didn't bother having a shower. We were only staying one night but this would have been an issue had we been staying longer. 3. The accommodation also advertises 'free wifi' but this is actually limited to 500mb which isn't much when you're using it for browsing further accommodation, trips, etc. We didn't have any left the following morning. 4. Our bedroom was on the ground floor right next to the front garden. Our window was jammed open and we were kept awake late in the evening by people sat talking and smoking on sofas right next to our window, and were woken up about 7am by people out there having breakfast talking loudly. 5. The beds were very poor quality-really soft and lumpy- with bed linen that had definitely seen better days. Really faded and with some holes in.
