Bathroom and showers were also dirty, always had a puddle of water from the shower in the corner of the bathroom. Girl giving the talk about Fraser Island was annoying with bad jokes thoughout. The... More

The fraser island tour was excellent, well organised and left feeling like family. The backpackers had great organisation and food and drink was delicious and very reasonable. The kitchen was very dirty, as were the bathrooms with 6-8 people coming back dirty from fraser and the bathroom floor is the shower. The staff were helpful and friendly and even though... More

We (a young couple) arrived at Dingos at noontime. There was only one girl checking like 35 people in (she did not even work for the hostel but peterpan travels next door and jumped in) So we waited for an hour to get checked in. She did not give us any plates and cups to use. So when we wanted... More

Great hostel, very relaxed during the day and great for a party at night! Most people only stay a night or two before or after they set of for Fraser island, but still a great place to stay long term... Our 3 day trip to fraser island was absolutely awesome and made even better by our tour guides JIMMY and... More

This was my second time going with this company and my bf's first trip to Fraser Island. Mostly everything was the same, with the exception of it being a guided tour rather than a self drive/explore the island. I really didn't mind it although, we were in the lead car which meant if we did want to drive we would... More

Fraser Island was another highlight and we enjoyed coming back to a nice clean shower and comfy bed at Dingos! They... More

I liked the rooms in Dingos - quite clean with no carpets. Although the pillow was yellow when we took the cover off! Yuk! Anyway the rooms are alright for a short stay. However, literally everyone there is going on the Fraser Island trip and if you are not you are made to feel like you should be. We were... More
