Guest Reviews

• Haudrey (9/5): - L'accueil du personnel, les sanitaires toujours propres
• Elias (10/5): - Elias and Louisa were very welcoming when we first arrived and made our time at maze very pleasant. The group activities made the holiday so memorable and we met some really cool people. definitely recommend people on a budget to stay here.

• Elliott (8/5): - Very good location, clean but I did not use all facilities so a bit expensive. Too expensive.

• Alison (8/5): Un court séjour simple et cosy avec le nécessaire largement suffisant pour nous. :) - Emplacement stratégique en plein centre ville, proche de tout. Pour un couple juste de passage pour 5 nuits, ça nous a largement suffit. Après de longues journées de balade et des soirées à l'extérieur, on rentre dans un endroit où tout est à ta disposition, grande cuisine équipée, grandes tables pour manger et un autre coin type véranda sympa, des douches et des toilettes communs, des buanderies à 4$ pour la machine à laver et 4 $ pour le sèche-linge. Tu peux avoir une dose gratuite de lessive si tu like et/ou suit leur page sur instagram. On a eu une toute petite chambre avec un lit superposé avec 2 tabourets et une pathère et ventilateur qui marchait très bien. Les lits étaient confortables. On a beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. RAS

• hudde (7/5): - Good location. Good price. Roomy showers. Kinda "old" smell in my room. Very old windows which don't close shut and aren't isolated. Only fan in the room (no air conditioning).
• Caro Booking (10/5): - Location, staff was really amazing
• Luciana (8/5): -
• Michael (6/5): - Hervorragende Lage neben Chinatown, 10 Minuten Fußweg zur Central Station. Das Personal war sehr bemüht alles sauber zu halten, die Bäder waren jeden morgen sauber. Insbesondere die Dame in der Küche war durchgängig am saubermachen. Küche groß und gut aufgebaut. Die Zimmer sind in die Jahre gekommen, muffig und zumindest in unseres gelangte kaum Tageslicht. Auch die Gemeinschaftsräume sind längst nicht so gemütlich wie es auf den Bildern aussieht. Da manche Gäste wohl leider kleine Schweinchen sind, sahen die Bäder abends entsprechend aus. Daher sollten sie eigentlich öfter als einmal am Tag geputzt werden. Zudem lief in einem Bad durchgängig ein Wasserhahn, der sich nicht mehr schließen ließ. Die Nachtruhe wird nur unzureichend durchgesetzt, zumindest vor Mitternacht ist es nicht leise und da alle Türen quietschen und ungebremst zuschlagen, hört man die Leute nachts aus Klo gehen.
• Gabriel (7/5): -
• White (9/5): - Close to most things
• Alix (4/5): - L’emplacement et disponibilité dernière minute suite à un problème La saleté et la chaleur , équipement en panne, nous avons dû changer de chambre. Beaucoup de nuisible dans la chambre

• Wild (10/5): - Everything
• Marcús (5/5): Correcto pero deberian mejorar las instalaciones. - El personal fue muy amable. A pesar de que el personal lo limpie, da la sensación que es un lugar sucio, quizás muy viejo. La cocina es un caos, no quisimos cocinar ahi.

• Caren (7/5): - We stayed for just one night because our flight was the next day. It's well located, close to the subway for easy access. The beds were comfortable, the room is small and there isn't much space for luggage. The bathroom is shared but it was fine, and it was clean. They charge a 20 Australian dollar deposit in case you lose the keys. They give you one key per person, even if the room is for two people and you're traveling as a couple. We paid by card because we didn't have any Australian dollars, only US dollars, and they don't accept them as payment. When they refund you, they give it back in Australian dollars. We thought the price was expensive, but Australia in general is quite expensive.

• Tyler (10/5): Great stay - Easy to get to, central location. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms Nothing
• mary (5/5): Basic room but good location. - Location was great. I did have a room to myself. A fan in room. Bed was barely long enough, very squeaky. There was a lot of noise from extractor fans outside the window. Room was very basic, just a bed, a chair & a stool.

• Rhiannon (7/5): Cheap and easy - Simple, clean and 24 hr reception
• Amanda (6/5): Good location - Clean bathroom and room. Comfortable bed. Great location. No elevator if you have lots of bags though not an issue if using a backpack. Not enough showers for number of rooms it services, particularly if they were busy.
• Marla (10/5): -
• Joshua (10/5): Amazing accommodation for on a budget 👏 - Great place in the city meet some good people hear everyone was friendly, the place was old school but very well kept in my opinion Room was great was everything I needed for my stay in Sydney seeing The Used at the Opera house Nothing staff were 10/10 friendly and helpful and went out of there way to make sure your stay is great
• Muhammad (10/5): solid choice for short-term stays - Maze Backpackers offers a great balance between affordability and location. it’s right in the heart of the city, making it extremely convenient to explore nearby attractions, public transport, and essential services. The social atmosphere is one of its strongest points; it’s easy to meet fellow travelers from around the world, which creates a lively and engaging environment. The staff are generally friendly, approachable, and willing to assist when needed. Common areas like the kitchen and lounge provide good spaces to relax and connect, and the overall vibe suits budget-conscious travelers looking for a dynamic stay. The facilities, while functional, can feel a bit dated and could benefit from upgrades. Cleanliness in shared areas like bathrooms and kitchens can vary depending on peak occupancy times. Noise levels may also be an issue, especially for guests who prefer a quieter environment, as the social atmosphere sometimes extends late into the night. Additionally, room sizes can be quite compact, which might not be ideal for longer stays or those carrying more luggage.

• Hester (1/5): - I was evicted for being a gender bender I was called a man when I'm not. Being called a man by the morning staff
• LOUISE (1/5): Help - I try to enter maze backpacker because I've been kicked out of Newtown hotel backpacker I booked it online and I was assaulted in rape in Newtown backpacker and potentially in 66 Street the police they even know it and when I arrive in May I was seeking protection it's an LGBT friendly so when the woman got assaulted they should help me they let me sleep in the street The woman from reception

• Stefania (8/5): -
• Olivia (8/5): - Positiv überrascht. Super zum verweilen. Kein Party Hostel also wenn ihr Leuten kennenlernen wollt und Abende verbringen wollt mit etwas geboten dann hier ned :)
• Christopher (8/5): -
• Tammy (4/5): - You got what you paid for! The first morning I woke up to lady shaving her vag in the sink The room wasn’t clean Shower was dirty & towels under toilet Toilet stunk mould everywhere in blue section Red section was amazing
• 祖葳 (8/5): - Close to supermarket and the main attractions like Darling harbor, Hyde park, Queen Victoria building etc are within walking distance. Quite some activities hosted by hostel. No body wash/ shampoo in shower. The carpet in the room smells a bit strange but not a big issue.
• Kathrin (8/5): - Unserer Meinung nach wurde sehr viel Wert auf Sauberkeit gelegt. Das Bad wurde mehrfach täglich gereinigt und auch die Küche war stets sauber wenn wir sie benutzt haben. Vereinzelt hat es Ungeziefer wie Kakerlaken auf die Gänge geschafft- unschön, aber viel dafür kann das Hostel nicht.
• Vernekar (8/5): -
• Julie (6/5): - Very clean Outside noises from street party made it hard to sleep.
• Stefania (3/5): Good location. Not very clean. Too basic. - Central location and very kind staff Too basics, not clean facilities, badly smelling corridors and room.
• Jane (9/5): Had a great stay. Wonderful staff - Close to CBD Nothing
• Leitch (7/5): Would stay there again - Clean and Tidy. Great cheap accommodation. I ended up with a shared room to myself which was a bonus. Some maintainance issues, but they were fixed.
• romel (7/5): -
• Julian (8/5): A safe place to rest your head in Sydney CBD - It was very clean. The rooms were accessed with electronic cards so everything was very safe and secure. No lifts between floors. No soap or body wash in the showers. No air conditioning. No early check-in allowed.
• Tristan (8/5): -
• Alexandra (6/5): Get what you pay for and I think it’s Sydney with a general roach issue - 24 hours staffing was handy for my travel needs allowing me to check in after midnight Staff were very friendly and helpful. Able to leave larger bags after checking out while doing some site seeing before I was flying out There were cockroaches in my room.
• Leah (8/5): Very convenient for a one night stay - Clean, tidy, cheap and great location There were some maintenance issues that needed addressing.
• Valérie (9/5): - La gentillesse du personnel, l'emplacement, les lieux communs, les activités Pas grand chose, chambre spartiate mais c'était attendu. Mieux que l'autre logement pour backpackers de Sydney testée.

• Nedi_ol (7/5): Bom - limpo - quarto apertado - taxa não prevista na reserva - Localização é bem central e próxima ao metrô; com cozinha completa e área de refeição compartilhada. O hostel é um prédio antigo reformado e adaptado e possui diversos ambientes internos. Há uma organização administrativa muito boa e regras bem exigentes para manter a organização do hostel. O banheiro é bom e área de banho atende as necessidades com bom chuveiro. Roupas de cama e toalhas boas e limpas. Quarto muito pequeno (fiquei em quarto reservado). Falta local para pendurar objetos, uma pequena mesa, espaço para malas e a janela é pequena. Ventilador não areja o quarto adequadamente. Não tem ar condicionado então no calor é muito desconfortável. Cobraram um taxa de segurança do cartão de entrada, e isso não estava descrito na reserva. Essa taxa é aceita somente em dólar australiano em espécie ou debitado no cartão. Se você não tiver dinheiro eles debitam no seu cartão, mas ao invés de devolver dólares americanos te devolvem a moeda local e você não troca no câmbio com valor adequado. Enfim, é um imprevisto não descrito na reserva.

• Catherine (8/5): - Easy location to stay at before our overseas trip the following day. It was clean and the beds were OK.
• Maria (4/5): Not good, and very bad. - I like it here, because its near the cbd area, and not really expensive to stay. I don't like it about the room, its said mix dorm with girls, but and the end of the day they put guy in my room, and I was shocked. And then they started cleaning my room even when I'm sleep, like what? Shouldn't you wait for me until I'm not in the room, and they did open the door like I'm not there, I'm pay my room but I don't have any privacy, and its very disappointing, It's my third time in here, but I think its gonna be my last, thank you.
