Stayed in a single room for two nights. The room itself was fine; clean with a TV and nicely made comfortable bed. The communal bathroom was pretty gross (toilet okay but showers disgusting) and I didn't use the kitchen but it didn't look very appealing. You have to walk outside to access the bathrooms, thankfully my room was close to... More

I wrote this review in the excellent section so people don't get fooled into believing these other reviews are true! It is the manager or staff writting these, it is not possible for someone to think great things of the awful place it should be closed down, there is no clean towels as they state just dirty ones on the...

Although I had a great time staying here because of the awesome people I met, the owner is the most awful man I have ever come across. Rude, aggressive, childish and spiteful. He obviously hates his job and makes no secret of the fact that he doesn't like backpackers. He often reminds people that he is 'doing them a favour'... More

Coming straight from Brisbane YHA, I wasnt sure what to expect from this place but was still dissapointed. Obviously a workers hostel, great if your looking for back breaking Strawberry picking work but avoid it if your just travelling through. A good 30 minute walk to any civilisation....bathroom pretty grotty and my 4 bed room was dark and cramped. On... More

Hello, my name is Janine. I am from Germany. This is the first time that I write a review. But I think, everybody should know how beautiful this hostel is. It is a little bit like a secret place which everybody should visit when he is in Australia. I had the possibility to stay there for four weeks. It was... More

Very relaxed atmosphere and the building is pretty cool. Rooms and facilities were clean. The staff was extremly helpful and friendly, the free shuttle bus is pretty cool as well. Its perfect for a night or two on your way to noosa. There are a lot of activities that keep you entertained, so you won't get bored even though there... More

I really enjoyed staying at this YHA! I stayed there for 2 weeks and loved every minute of it! The staff was very friendly and around to help if you needed anything. They have daily events going on like free BBQ night, free ice cream night, and games night! You can also borrow the kayaks, fishing rods, and boogie boards... More

We really enjoyed Maroochydore itself, lovely place, great shopping mall. The Canadian guy who picked us up was really nice and chatty. The YHA was a bit out of the way, and a little strange. We had a four bed dorm plus a double bed separated by a curtain, im assuming that was supposed to be a private room. Anyway,... More
