- Shikha (9/5): Great hostel to bookend a sailboat trip! - Clean and comfortable with good facilities and great staff Mattresses were a bit worn out
- Jessica (7/5): - Les espaces communs, salon, terrasses. Cuisine trop petites pour le nombre de personnes. Pas de poivre, sel, minimum pour cuisiner.
- Jessica (7/5): - La terrasse et jacuzzi Cuisine et salle de bain commune trop petite lors des heures de pointe. L’équipement est très bien mais il faut toujours attendre.
- Ya-Ling (10/5): - 整體環境規劃到很舒適,接待人員豆很友善👍 如果床位有廉子會更有隱私
- A2BH (9/5): - Kaitlyn at reception was fantastic. Thanks a mil 🙏🏻
- Rodriguez Ortega (4/5): Bien, pero no volveria a ir - Los cuartos eran espaciosos y contaban con lockers, el lugar para guardar la comida era grande, no era ruidoso y tenia un lindo balconcito con mesas. Un día después de llegar, se rompió el ascensor y estuvo fuera de uso como 3 días, luego se activo la alarma de incendios no 1 sino 2 veces, y nos tuvieron que evacuar. Al preguntar porque había pasado esto nos dijeron que seguramente era un detector "defectuoso". Por ultimo, uno de los días me metí en la ducha y encontré en el costado un tampón usado, todo esto en un rango de una semana.
- Jackermeier (10/5): Recommend to all solo travelers or groups - Really clean hostel, especially rooms and bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day. No sand in the showers and comfy beds for a good night sleep. The staff were extremely nice and helpful! Bonus - the bar with probably one of the best margaritas I had so far! Will be back fs
- James (10/5): Highly recommend - Loved all the activities, particularly movie night. I found the hostel to be really clean and has great facilities. Amazing location and the best staff ever! They were so helpful, especially Caitlin.
- Noe (2/5): -
- Antonia (7/5): - Bietet draußen viel Platz, Lage ist gut, Peronsal sehr freundlich Vorhänge an den Betten wären toll.
Küche ist abedns überfüllt, zu klein für so viele Menschen

- Charley (1/5): Not ideal - The hostel is in a good location for accessing everything you need. I had booked for 4 nights but checked out after 1, after finding there was an issue with bugs and cockroaches in the beds. I spoke with other guests and they were experiencing the same in other rooms. The staff did try to help and provided bug spray but it did not solve the issue.
- Clara (10/5): -
- Antonia (8/5): Gutes Hostel - Es war sauber und gab innen und draußen Bereiche zum Chillen. Das Personal war super freundlich und die Betten auch bequem.
Großer Kühlschrank, genug Platz!
Auch das 14 Bett Zimmer mit Fenster Die Küche ist zu klein für so viele Menschen. Am Abend zu kochen ist hektisch und chaotisch.
Keine Vorhänge an den Betten (vor allem in der Preisklasse)
- Clara (10/5): great vibes, especially the bartender byron with the good vibes, and amazing drinks -
- Sina (8/5): -
- Kim (6/5): - Loved the facilities and the staff who were very helpful. It was kept very clean in bathrooms and kitchen and also very organised kitchen system. Good layout of dorms, and shelf by the bed is useful. The reason for the low score is because there were 3 tour groups staying there my first night which made it difficult to meet people. I think about 50 or 60 guests were in tours. It felt very cliquey and large tour groups taking up the tables for the wine and cheese night, they also take over the kitchen in large groups, one group filled up the sink with dirty pans the whole of the second night. I hope the fine was implemented for them.
Also mattresses were quite uncomfortable.
- anselmo (10/5): highly recommend. - I had a really great stay at this hostel :)
The place is extremely clean and well maintained. The staff are very friendly and always happy to help with anything.
They also organize fun events, which makes it easy to meet people and enjoy your time there. About the location, it was very close to everything, so it’s super convenient to get around.
Overall, great experience.
- Amelia (8/5): - Very clean and modern Expensive for a hostel
- Pauline (9/5): -
- Caitlin (10/5): - Great events, I loved the movie night, yoga and wine and cheese. Staff were super friendly and helpful and it is a very clean hostel!
- Paulina (8/5): Good for one night while waiting the the cruise - They don't provide free towels, available for 5AUD though
- Lauren (10/5): Excellent, I will be staying again - It’s incredibly clean, well kept and tidy. N/a
- Lou (10/5): Great location, rooms and bathrooms were spotless. Would 100% recommend. - Friendly staff, Caitlin was particularly helpful on ideas for stuff to do locally and explaining everything within the hostel, nothing was too much of a hassle! N/A
- Ali (10/5): - I stayed at Bounce Melbourne last month and it was exceptional. That’s why I booked right away when I saw there was a Bounce in Airlie Beach, and I don't regret it!
The hostel was clean and well-equipped (hot tub, pool table, ping pong), and the kitchen is spotless too!
Special shout-out to the staff, who are also awesome
- Lea (10/5): -
- Millie (10/5): 10/10 - The kitchens is one of the cleanest and nicest I’ve seen while travelling and always felt very homely. They also do really nice events like movie nights, paint and sip events and cheese and wine evenings which was so cozy and they serve stunning pizzas and cocktails to accompany 🤩 everyone is soo nice and the girls on reception made check in and out a breeze and was always really helpful. They all seem to work hard mixed with their great vibes and it really pays off!! Will be recommending. Nothing

- Maria (8/5): -
- Georgina (10/5): - Got ill on my trip here and had to extend my stay. The staff were so wonderful and offered to go to the shops for me. They made sure that I was as comfortable as I could be.
Facilities here are great! Cold water tap by the bar is amazing!
Kitchen was kind of messy, there were always dirty plates left in the sink, but that is 100% down to the other guests not cleaning up after themselves.
Definitely recommend

- jrf (6/5): Fine but overpriced - The bathrooms are nice, modern and big shower areas. Beds are also good, comfortable with individual lights and shelves.
The kitchen area is also good, nice to stay in hostels with airfryers now, and there is a big walk in fridge.
Events seem good, there was a wine and cheese night (although note it's actually sangria that's served). I feel like the photos make this place look better than what it is, I've stayed in hundreds of hostels all over the world and while travelling Australia - this one is more expensive than other hostels in the area and honestly I don't think it's justified. Sure it looks modern and nice etc. but I don't find it's very functional for a hostel.
There aren't many places to relax and be comfortable like couch seating area, just a small corner which is taken up quickly by groups.
Reception closes at like 9pm I think it was, and it's not clear how to get in touch with anyone if you arrive after this.

- Emma (8/5): Great for the 2 nights I stayed! - Great location, was walking distance from the main strip in town, but still tucked away enough that wasn’t too noisy at night. Staff very welcoming and friendly No curtains on the beds for privacy. Only two sinks in the girls bathrooms, caused a bit of delay.

- Oceane (8/5): très bon rapport qualité/prix - Établissement propre et bien entretenu, à taille humaine, et très proche des commerces, des plages et des transports ! Le personnel est très sympathique (mention spéciale à Émir, qui a été très accueillant et de bon conseil). le confort du matelas n’est pas optimal mais tout à fait correct pour quelques jours!
- Julie (10/5): -
- Courtney (10/5): Loved my stay here. I can’t wait to be back to see everyone again! - Every member of staff, so lovely from start to finish. Nothing

- Lana (9/5): -
- Poppy (10/5): - 10/10 stay! Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a great location. The staff were friendly and helpful. The common areas were social but not noisy, which made it easy to meet people and still get a good night’s sleep. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling through Australia.
- Famke (8/5): -
- Lina (9/5): - Schönes, modernes und sauberes Hostel. Die Lage ist auch top und alles da was man braucht. Vorallem die Küche und die Bäder sind immer sauber gewesen. Durch die Terrasse lernt man schnell Leute kennen. Es gibt keine Vorhänge und es war nachts etwas laut von der Straße.
- Jan (10/5): Felt like a little home :) - Clean, fancy, comfortable nothing
- Lorenzo (10/5): -
- Fabian (7/5): Mid - Checkin sehr einfach und die Badezimmer waren schön. Nettes Personal. Solide Nur 10er Zimmer sind tendenziell schon eher laut und man hat immer einen Schnarcher im Zimmer.
Ansonsten ist das Hostel schon eher als befriedigend/ gut als „sehr gut“ zu bewerten. Nichts absolut besonderes

- Marie (10/5): - Außergewöhnlich sauberes und gut ausgestattetes Hostel. Große Zimmer, nette Menschen, die Küche, Toiletten und Außenbereiche sind ein Traum! Es gibt jeden Tag einen Programmpunkt, um Kontakte zu knüpfen. -
- Gabriela (10/5): - there are no enough toilets and shower for the amount of people on each floor, so you might have to wait to use that during peak times.
- Inkeri (10/5): A lovely holiday in a great hostel - The AC was great, the beds were super comfortable and the staff had organized a lot of fun things for everyone to do together! Everything was so tidy and the staff was really nice and helpful about everything. Would go again 1000%!

- Derman (10/5): Friendly staff, always ready to assist - How incredibly clean it is ! Nothing to complain
- Daiana (6/5): - Poor wifi conection. Bathrooms need more cleaning. It would be nice If they offered basic things like liquid soap for the showers, hair dryer, more water stations.
