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.

About 40km from Rotorua

Apr 2018 • Family

Lake Rotoma is the furthest East of the Rotorua lakes; it is about 40km from Rotorua via SH30, the Whakatane road. When you head there you'll pass Rotoiti and Rotehu. There is a petrol filling station and a very nice cafe, and the lake is good for boating and fishing.

Whanau summer holiday

Jan 2018 • Family

Our whanau did our usual summer holiday at Awakeri hot springs & the beauty of that is lake rotoma is a half hour drive away. We took the boat out & did abit of trawling for trout which can produce some lovely fish if you're lucky enough to to hook one. Lake rotoma is a lovely lake to spend the day if you're into water sports or just need to take a dip on a hot summers day! Safe swimming for the kids + it has toilets & a playground + a bbq if you're feeling a tad hungry! Great lake to visit if you happen to be passing by! Pack a picnic lunch & enjoy highly recommend :-)
