“Stay away!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

people found this review helpful

Avoid avoid avoid!!! It's an overcrowded house which we were sharing with mice and ants... One female and male bathroom shared between about 20 people! Sam is as ignorant as they come and his friends not much better. On our last night they arrived uninvited and verbally and racially abused all staying in the hostel. We were made feel like unwelcome guests and when we told him we were leaving he started cursing at us. Was such a relief to leave!!!

“Dirt Cheap Stands For DIRT Service And DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2011

people found this review helpful

My friends and I stayed for what we thought would be the down south experience, friendly people, everything fresh and clean, great service etc.....! Now what we got was Sam 'THE OWNER' which was this rude aggressive little stroppy p**** to whom made us feel [his clients] we were a complete inconvenience by being there how dare we ask anything or even cook in his 1980s run down "kitchen" which was filled with rodents... The whole place is completely run down, I swear I slept on the same bed with the same linen in 1986 at my school camp. This guy is a joke! Ah and get this for all to see where he spends his ca$h on the BMW and the BOOZE.... Please ALL PEOPLE AVOID THIS PLACE AND SEND THE P**** OUT OF BUSINESS!!!!! LORD KNOWS HE DOES NOT DESERVE ONE!

“Phat Sams Busselton Backpackers”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

person found this review helpful

WORST backpackers you can find. We stayed for 4 months and done sone pruning work. When we were getting ready to leave the owner promised us more work if we stayed. We waited a further 3 weeks and after paying rent in advance he told us sorry but i am giving the work to the new people that have arrived today instead since you had work!!!!!!! The first room we were checked into had mould growign up the curtains and along the window ledge, it also had a broken window. After complaining to the owner he was very reluctant but eventually moved us rooms. The hostel is disgusting, there are ants everywhere, mice in the rooms and kitchen cupboards. The people staying are not much nicer, they are very inconsiderate with the noise levels and keep you awake most nights. The owner is never around and didint even bother to come check us in, instead we had to ask someone who was staying at the hostel where we were to sleep. I would NEVER recommend this hostel to anyone!!!!!

“A good start but a bad finish”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2008

The hostel was dissapointing to say the least. With only one hostel to choose from, our options were limited. We were using this as a base for diving on the Swan and Busselton Jetty, which meant some early morning starts of 7.30am. We were hoping to get a decent night sleep, which unfortunalely due to the lack of consideration from both the owner and other guests this was not possible.

If your looking for a cheap place to stay, with basic amenities and you're not requiring a good sleep, this is an 'ok' place to stay. However, I would not recommend this place, and would suggest other caravan parks and camping options.
