the hostel itself was pretty good, cleaned regularly, cool A/C in each room. however the people staying there are awful vibe. ESPECIALLY THE LONG TERM GUESTS, they have such entitlement to place and are not welcoming or considerate of short stay guests. unfortunately had to spent 4 night here, stuck inside because of rain. had long term guest storm in and out of our room drunk turning on lights at 3am brining multiple guests (4+) into our 4 person room during night INCLUDING MEN IN OUR FEMALE DORM, totally inappropriate and unsettling. (literally paid extra for a female dorm for a man to be in there …? ) when we told reception on check out all she said was that’s not good, lightly apologised and gave us $20… do better.lack of respect from long term guests in that building is awful and not acceptable to be honest. also whilst i was having shower girls were playing hide and seek (totally fine whatever) but pushed my shower door twice trying to open it whilst i was in there, thinking i was the girl hiding. totally wrong of them to do so. counted down the days to get out of that place …

Firstly, perfect location to access Airlie beach. The staff were very friendly and accommodated our requests, for example switching us to a tidier room. The common spaces were regularly cleaned and maintained well. The rooms were nice and cool with the ACs. Would stay again!

My room was infested by bedbugs had to spend my whole time washing my clothes and had to cancel the last day to book a hotel because my skin was too itchy. If you want to spend a good time at Airlie beach and don’t be bothered by bedbugs book somewhere else!!

Very dirty hostel with poor facilities. Bedding was brown and there was a lack of cleanliness in all areas - kitchen, bathroom and dorms. The location of the hostel is slightly out the way from the main town, and isn’t great for socialising with other travellers. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Thought the place was fine, room was a decent size to share with 4 people, clean enough. They had good facilities, a big kitchen and common area, pool table, laundry and outside pool. Location was good not far from the centre of Airlie Beach. Couldn't control the aircon so was freezing at night.

Geh bloß nicht hier hin, Dreck und Müll überall. Zu teuer für alte, eckelige Einrichtung. Unfreundliche Mitarbeiter diskutierten mich in Grund und Boden bis ich Geld bezahlt habe für Übernachtungen die ich nicht nehmen konnte, weil in dem Haus Kinder verboten sind. Das steht leider auf der letzten Seite minimal klein geschrieben. Die schönen Bilder hier sind alle zu alt, jetzt ist der Platz total abgeranzt, eckelhaft.

Don't go there! Aggressive employees forced me to pay money for an overnight stay that I couldn't use because my child wasn't allowed there. The place is full of junk, old furniture and worn out stuff. The pictures here do not show the truth. Gehen Sie nicht dorthin! Aggressive Mitarbeiter zwangen mich, Geld für eine Übernachtung zu zahlen, die ich nicht nutzen konnte, weil mein Kind dort nicht erlaubt war. Der Ort ist voller Müll, alter Möbel und abgenutzter Sachen. Die Bilder hier zeigen nicht die Wahrheit. Hätte gerne mit 0 bewertet.
