1.0Honestly would have been a good experience but sharing the mud pool was hard when me and my partner were sharing with inconsiderate tourists who ruined the whole experience for us and felt like a waste of $180

5.0Very enjoyable experience in a thermal pool with mud that moisturizes the skin. Totally recommend those passing by Rotorua to go for it.
Great experience but wish we had more time

4.0It was a great experience overall with the Sulfur & mudpools, however we felt a bit rushed while we were in the mudpool so have rated 4 instead of 5 stars.
