Most unfriendly staff and big sign stating NO REFUND. This is something they don't tell you when they are quick to take your money over the phone. We visit Perth regularly and this was the worst place we stayed in ever! I don't recommend it at all. The very dirty stench/smell crawls up in your nose and you can't get... More

Stayed here for one week and if you want to relax and sleep then you won't here! Very unfriendly staff who were not welcoming. The Internet was a rip as it didnt work even in the reception area, no apology or refund. Electricity went off several times during the stay, mainly at night times. Very loud, could hear many of...

I had read some bad reviews about this hostel, but went there with an open mind. The first problem was the communication barrier with the 'receptionist' who spoke little english, and handed us wet linen for our beds. The room looked pleasant enough and was reasonalbly spacious, there were a lot of insects lurking behind the units, but i kind... More

I don't have many nice things to say about this Backpackers. When I arrived it took about 15 minutes before someone either bothered asking me if I needed help. I was allocated my private room with bunk beds and that was neat and clean. In fact the decor of this backpackers is quite cute but not like the photos on... More

Stayed at bamboo for 2 weeks and had the best time of my life. This is a party hostel located across the street from the Dean(nightclub) and next door to the Shed (another party location), so the music is blasting all night. Also the hostel plays music untill 12 am... this is not a place to have many good night... More

Was looking for a lively hostel with a party atmosphere. This hostel definitely ticked that box, however overall security of the place was very poor. Would definitely not recommend leaving valuables behind! After a night out in Perth came back to the hostel to find someone else sleeping in my bed (despite it being obviously taken!). So had to spend... More

This is one of the poorest hostels I have stayed in. In fact, I had my shoes stolen in another hostel yet I would return to that one before I’d stay at the Bambu again! The inside of the hostel is dark and dreary as there are no windows, which is pretty depressing considering all the Aussie sunshine outside! The... More
