13 March 2012 Ebba would recommend this property

Liked: i liked to stay at the backpackers in because of the athmosphere and the relation between the backpackers and the stuff. You were always welcome to ask questions and got lots of help from the reception. The Hostel was as i showed on the pictures from the websight. the location to the beach was amazing. The toilets felt always cleaned up and the kitchen was big enough so everyone was able to cook food at the same time. THANKS for an awesome visit in byron bay!

Liked: Next to the Beach.....although that's not difficult, everything's close to the beach! Big room

Disliked: Security, didn't feel safe, and didn't feel comfortable leaving possession's in the room For a massive room, their was no fridge or tv, which i've had in most private room's in australia, especially when paying the amount of money i did for this particular room.

Liked: I loved the location of this hostel - right by the beach! A short walk to a quiet part of the beach. The rooms were clean and big (so you're never too close to your neighbour. Loved how the kitchen was so big, and there was ovens that worked. The area by the pool was lovely too with lots of tables. Was easy to get to know lots of people, as everyone was so friendly!

Disliked: There was one staff member who was a bit unfriendly and abrupt, but the rest were great! Internet was a little expensive..

20 February 2012 Cathlyn would recommend this property

Liked: Great location and a chance to meet other back packers. I stayed in a private room and had a double bed and bunk beds to choose from. The reception staff were very friendly and straight away felt at ease within the property. I was not likely to socialise with other backpackers as had a weekend away only and im not backpacking, i was partying!! You would need to hire bed sheets and cutlery, plates, cup etc if you were in a dorm and wanted to cook in the property. As I didn't and had private room I didn't. The tour desk in the hotel is patient and helpful to help other traveller on their way. My job is in tourism so I notice these sort of things and found it to be really good. All in all was not disappointed. Cost 150 dollars for 2 nights and if I had shopped around I probably would have found cheaper as in resort had advertised private rooms from 60 dollars per night....but i booked late and this was the only availability.

Disliked: Bed time at 10.30pm. Bit early for a party resort, but a good time to go into town as most places charge a entry fee after 10pm. So bette to get out early, get stamped and then can come and go as you pleased.

Liked: Es gab einen Trampelpfad zum strand

Disliked: sauberkeit kennen die dort nicht. Innerhalb von 5 tagen wurde kein einziges mal das Zimmer sauber gemacht, alles war voller Sand... Die Toiletten waren viel zu wenig und ziemlich abgetanzt. Die Küche isr zwar gut ausgestattet, aber alles ist versifft Das Personal ist eher unfreundlich... Der außenbereich wäre schön, leider sind aber alle Tische rund um die Uhr dreckig.

29 January 2012

17 January 2012

Liked: The rooms were spacious and clean

Disliked: We booked in a 4dorm but we ended up in a 5 bed dorm. The kitchen always dirty, there wasn't enough space for your food in fridges and cupboard. It all seemed to be labelled for staff to use. Also there wasn't enough toilets or showers for the amount of people that were there.

15 January 2012 Victoria would recommend this property

Liked: Great outdoor area to relax and meet travelers, and nice big kitchen. It is an open hostel so the security isn't great. Everything appeared to be very clean (rooms, showers, etc). Had oven, stoves, and microwave for cooking. Direct access to beach.

Disliked: Victoria left no negative feedback.

09 January 2012

Liked: It's a 2 minute walk on the beach. Hammocks were nice and a chilled out vibe.

Disliked: The room was not cleaned when we got there withcrumbs 7 rubbish all over the floor. It was one of the skankiest hostels we stayed in and I had a small cockroach on my towel hung on the bed.
