Guest Reviews
- Natalie (9/5): Loved the location and cozy shared house vibe. - Cozy, clean, lots of little home comforts.
Delightful back yard and shared spaces. Ad said Netflix was available to use but we were locked out.
Dark at night on arrival.
Knowing if other guests were staying - I had people at the door late on night and wasn't sure if they were guests or not.
Extra lock on door for sole female travelers would add peace of mind.
- Daniela (10/5): Entspannend - Man kann den Strand, das Zentrum und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten bequem zu Fuss erreichen, hat aber dennoch Ruhe. Ich fand den schönen Aussenbereich perfekt zum Frühstücken und Verweilen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Darüberhinaus hat man auch eine top ausgestattete Küche und viele weitere Annehmlichkeiten.
- Robert (9/5): Perfect... - a perfect space for a few days in Byron... All good...
- Fae (9/5): Very comfortable and great location. - Beds very comfortable. Lovely shared outside dining area. Laundry facilities. Property manager very helpful.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Hugo (9/5): Nice place to stay not too far from town. Clean nice bathrooms too - Functional WiFi wasn’t great. Bed was a bit uncomfortable
- Virginia (8/5): Enjoyed our stay would definately book there again - good location - very comfortable , easy access no complaints at all
- Simon (9/5): -
- Cecilia (9/5): -
- Karen (10/5): -
- Lynn (8/5): -
- RUI (10/5): Considering location I couldn’t have asked for more. - Location is awesome. It’s a really nice cozy place to stay (the varanda). There’s no sink in the kitchenette.
- Dani (10/5): Would recommend - Great location (close to beach and restaurants, cafes, bars) comfortable bed, laundry room excellent and use of kitchen and veranda is great. If you’ve got big cases (which we had) there’s very little space in the room to put them and most of the wardrobe space is filled with spare linen, pillows etc
- Ariene (9/5): - We loved staying at Barbara’s Guesthouse! It was a quick walk into town and was such a cute place to stay. We enjoyed our time immensely and appreciated the good communication with the host. Will definitely stay again.
- tzanis (10/5): -
- Marcus (7/5): Clean and Convenient - Clean and Close to Centre of Town We left a pair of expensive Sunglasses behind and left 2 messages to try and retrieve them with no response from the contact Tanya
- Kisha (10/5): Clean, spacious and all amenities were present! - Clean, spacious and all amenities were present! Nothing to mention.
- Heidi (7/5): Schönes gemütliches Haus - Die Unterkunft hatte eine schön eingerichtete Küche, mit Tee und auch Müsli. Auch der kleine Garten war sehr schön uns liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir hatten die Unterkunft gebucht und auch einen höheren Preis in Kauf genommen, wegen der Lage. Laut Booking.com hieß es seinen es nur 550 m zum Strand und 300 m zum Zentrum ist. Was leider so nicht stimmte. Es war doppelt so weit, sowohl zum Strand als auch zum Zentrum.
- Imogen (10/5): Sensational -
- Sara (7/5): - Location was great. We were in a separate little section. But the rest of the house was still really noisy Some of the cutlery wasn't clean and there were some cleaning facilities missing. Everything else was great.
- Ian (10/5): Fantastic, would definitely recommend - Superb stay, excellent location, great communication with the hosts, clean. tidy , comfortable, home from home, what more can we say ?? Not applicable
- Samantha (10/5): - Bed so comfy
- Tonia (8/5): Lovely - Quiet
Location
Lovely decor & outdoor area.
Parking Bed was too soft for my liking.
Expected an 11am check out considering check in wasn’t until 3pm.
- Audrey (10/5): Beautiful, cozy, comfy loft - I LOVED my stay here. I “lived” in the Loft for 3 nights and could have stayed much longer. It was so comfortable. After 2 weeks of hotels especially for business travel, this was such a welcome break. Felt cozy and like home. Appreciated that laundry facilities were available. Loved the windows that could be fully opened to enjoy the weather even when relaxing indoors. Easily walkable to town. Would 100% stay again.
- Heide Harije (9/5): Sehr gemütliches sauberes Guesthouse - Wohlfühlfaktor - Das Guesthouse ist super süß eingerichtet und durch die überschauliche Anzahl der Zimmer sehr ansprechend. Wir mochten auch tatsächlich den Gemeinschaftsbereich. Ein großer überdachter Außenbereich mit großem Tisch und großer Loungelandschaft. Sehr sauber und gemütlich und im Außenbereich sogar mit Deckenventilatoren. Die Küche ist toll und jedes Zimmer hat sein eigenes Fach im Kühlschrank und eigene Box. Kaffee, Tee, Cerialien alles da. Auch das Parken war kein Problem. Es ist genug Platz vor dem Haus. Man ist in 2 min am Busbahnhof und in 5 min bereits im Zentrum von Byron Bay. Es ist jedoch ruhig gelegen in einer Seitenstrasse. Wir haben es sehr genossen.
- Jerome (7/5): - Location, comfortable bed
- Welter (10/5): - Sehr schön eingerichtet, mega comfy, sehr sauber und gute lage
- Naomi (10/5): -
- Frederique (10/5): -
- Karel (8/5): A lovely stay in Byron that I would recommend - The location was great; within walking distance of everything in Byron. In a fairly quiet street with ample parking. The fact that there was only one tap for water (the bathroom) making it awkward at times to fill kettle and water bottles. No cooktop either.
- anthony (9/5): Really great place to stay for a few days - Cute, comfortable and clean room. Really nice guesthouse facilities out the back as well
- Justin (8/5): -
- Lenore (8/5): Perfect home base for a long stay in Byron with beautiful kitchen interior and well equipped for Bryon Bay - The outdoor deck with heating and TV was great and useable even though it was cool weather, great showers and very comfortable bed and very well equipped kitchen, and great laundry facilities - great for a long stay. Liked it was within reasonable walking distance to town and beach. Beautifully decorated throughout with lots of areas to sit and read or watch TV. Good wi-fi. Construction sound from a two-storey house being built close to the side and back fence started from 7:00am stopped around 3:00pm Monday to Friday.
Bedrooms are not very soundproof : when other occupants (5 bedrooms in total at the guesthouse ) played music, TV or talked loudly you could easily hear them through the walls.
- Darren Findlay (10/5): Perfect accommodation - Barbaras place was amazing. We stayed in the loft which was separate from the main house and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay, to be honest I wish we had booked it for longer x The modern beach feel was performed a bryon bay stay
- THIERRY (8/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): -
- Liz (9/5): Superb -
- Danny (8/5): Very good -
- Tania (8/5): Very good -
- Anton (9/5): Great location and the loft was ideal for a couple. Will definitely stay again! -
- Gemeah (9/5): Superb - There was a mistake with our booking and we were concerned we would have no where to stay whilst visiting Byron Bay for a family wedding. However, the manager moved us to a better location and unit that was just lovely.
- Angela (9/5): Superb -
- Sinead (8/5): Very good -
- Lucy (10/5): Exceptional - Great location
- David (5/5): Ok stay, convenient location - Nice comfortable room in an old refurbished house. Convenient to shoppiing area. Noisy passageway. Absolutely no service provided. No human contact at all. . Trash on front verandah sat there for 3 days, complimentary breakfast cereal and milk not replenished for 3 days. No tissues in room and no spare toilet paper. If you run out i guess you have to run up to the local stores
Totally self service.
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Spring (9/5): Great break away, would stay again. - The Loft was a lovely apartment, just a short walk from the town. Close enough, but far enough away from the hussle and noise. The bed was super comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed. The shower water was not very hot.
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gina (7/5): Great location .too expensive for what it was - Location Not good value for the money
- Margaret (9/5): Superb -
- Kylie (8/5): Very good -
- Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gaiti (6/5): Pleasant - Have stayed here a few times and loved it but the property needs maintaining It’s showing signs of age and some repairs needed
- Lucy (9/5): Great cosy stay on the outskirts of the central hub - My stay was fab! The property manager was very helpful when I couldn't access the property and the amenities inside the property were great.
- Julie (9/5): Lovely, comfortable and relaxed stay in a great spot - Lovely beach cottage vibe and close walk to the town and beach. The rooms and bathroom were lovely and clean. We had a little problem with the door lock . The response from Tania was great and it was remedied straight away with a visit from a locksmith. The only small thing we would comment on is an exhaust for the bathroom would be great but didn’t detract from our visit.
- Amelie (9/5): We were free to cook at the Loft or walk into the center of Byron for dinner. Ideal for a week's vacation as a coupl - We loved everything about this accommodation: the location, the free parking, the equipment of the Loft with its kitchen, its comfort.
- Kristina (10/5): Very enjoyable, would definitely go back - Clean room, great hot shower, great location to town! very fast response from property manager if I had any questions. Lovely shared outdoor area with a swing and fairy lights. Would definitely stay again. It was all pretty great, maybe if the light in the hall could be off at night? the light leaks through the cracks in the door.
- Richard (9/5): Lovely stay with helpful host - Great location and homely feel. Outside noise from roads nearby.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Jessica (7/5): Okay stay, great location - The location is great, on a quiet residential street but only a 10 min walk to the beah and high street. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was clean and nicely decorated. They have split the house intro three apartments so the room I slept in has a door separating me from the other guests. I could hear everything from their apartment which left me with a bad nights sleep. The parking for our apartment is awkward to park into and there is a small deck outside the window of both bedrooms that the other apartment can sit on which keeps you up. I think the deck should be for the apartment we stayed in as there is a door for access.
- Annie (10/5): We will be back - thank you. - We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and easily within walking distance to town. Nothing
- Buten (8/5): Cute cottage just outside of town. - Cute house. Great for my friends and I. Door doesn’t work. Needs to be replaced / it’s flimsy. Luckily it is a safe country, but I wouldn’t recommend leaving anything valuable in there.
- Kyra (10/5): Fabulous property - We stayed in the Veranda, it was perfect for a little get away. Cosy with just enough space and amenities for a weekend away. Watch the front door, it locks behind you 😉
- Adriaan (8/5): Very good -
- Nicola (8/5): Very pleasant stay - The Verandah was clean, tidy and well presented. It had a lovely feel about it . Fresh coffee was also a lovely touch. Beach towels were provided. The building looked like it had been recently renovated and painted. Walking distance to the town centre and the Sunday monthly markets. A few more black tea bags would have been nice (only one was in the container). Apart from the dishwasher there was no place to wash a glass or mug other than the bathroom basin which isn't very hygienic.
- Chris (9/5): Superb -
- Sabina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (8/5): Very good -
- John (8/5): Good accommodation, with good location. - The bedroom and bathroom were a good size, with the public areas well appointed. A small casual armchair would have improved the use of the bedroom, as you had to sit on the bed if you wanted to sit down. There was no house outside light that shone on the entrance steps, nor on the key keypad boxes, making it difficult to see where you were stepping, and using the boxes. Outside lights did come on later, but well past the time that dark conditions were out front.
- Lara (10/5): Will be coming back to this comfy, cool space. - It was a fresh and modern space, perfect for two people. The bed was amazingly comfortable and caught up on much needed sleep
- Martin (9/5): Superb -
- Yii (9/5): Relaxing and enjoyable - We stayed in The Loft at Barbara’s Guesthouse and it was a very comfortable stay! Even though it is listed as a guesthouse with shared communal space, The Loft has a separate entry which allows for privacy. It is conveniently located in Byron Bay city centre. It is also well equipped with basic amenities and even had some local Byron Bay snacks prepared for us which was a wonderful touch! Beautiful styling and furniture which fit perfectly with the summer beach vibes. Would recommend!
- Bain (8/5): Overall, we had a great stay, weather was ordinary but you can’t change the date of your anniversary - Great location in quiet area, short walk to everything. The bed was very comfortable but a bit soft for us. We stayed in The Loft for a week and didn’t have access to the laundry for some reason, not that we actually needed it.
The bench seat in the room was not the most comfortable and very hard to watch tv from unless you were lying on it in which case where does the other person sit
- Emma (8/5): The verandah was excellent - Great location, lovely decoration and comfortable The floors could have done with a better clean but overall great
- Anna (9/5): Superb - The whole property was clean and tidy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything one could need. There was plenty of tea and local coffee. The laundry room was useful to freshen our clothes, and there were plenty of drying lines both inside and outside for us to use.
Our bedroom and ensuite were clean, and the aircon was a definite necessity.
The beach towels in the room were a nice touch too. There was no cereal or milk for the first few days, so we had to buy our own.
There was a nail sticking out of the bathroom door frame, which was quite dangerous.
It would have been nice to have met our host at least once in the 6 nights we were there.
- Ingrid (9/5): The “loft” was perfect for a couple. It was clean and very comfortable, with little extras added in - It was clean, close to town, very comfortable No door between bedroom and lounge
- Jbow (9/5): Superb - Location Beautiful place close to town
- Anthony (6/5): Quick - Glasses were not very clean upon arrival and felt for the price of accommodation there were a definite lack of any little extras’s such as basic bottles of water that could have been placed in the fridge.etc The above.
Otherwise was ok.
- Valerie (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely accommodation, great shared area, very well equipped
- Jenna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christina (7/5): Ok - Location, looked new, we could store our luggage, nice little extras like coffee etc, laundry, good WiFi We booked the loft to have more space but it meant apparently we were not supposed to use any of the common areas meaning no outdoor seating, no proper table to eat (only a bar type table and chairs ) and also a small not very well equipped kitchen ( no small plates , no wine glasses, one small pan only etc); no air con (only fan) , sun wakes u up early as big window in living area has no blinds or curtains and there is no door between sleeping and living area so also not ideal if you cook in there as smell is everywhere; nobody on site so communication bit tricky; for us mattress was way too soft so we had back pain for 4 nights; very compact - no space really to put our 2 big suitcases….so unfortunately for us not good value for money as it was not cheap at all.
- Anita (10/5): excellent location, clean and cosy apartment, highly recommended - The location is excellent and you get all the information about the guesthouse and the area on an app, which is very handy. It's cosy, clean and well equipped. I loved that there are all the little things that make a difference. Byron Bay is a heaven on earth. And you'll get everywhere form Barbara's, it's easy to access all the beaches (I rented a bike) the lighthouse and basically everything. Farmers's market is nice on Thursday morning. I absolutely recommend this place, I will come back for sure, but for more days:)
- Nikki (10/5): Great - Beautiful spaces and great location Some noisy people coming home late and the construction work waking me up from next door
- Berman (8/5): Very good - Clean, central, comfortable. Everything you need traveling solo
- Jann (10/5): Exceptional - Location was excellent. Apartment was comfortable and clean. IThe Street was quiet. I liked every aspect. There was nothingI would improve.
- Aila (6/5): We were overall satisfied, but slightly disappointed - The house was in walking range to almost everything. We enjoyed the room as it felt very at home. The shared spaces were nice aswell. We were also happy about being offered early check-in, due to cleaning being completed ahead of time. Although we were mostly satisfied with our stay we encountered some confusion. There were multiple signs stating that we weren't allowed to utilize the cook-top and oven, which contradicted what we had read before booking and in our guest-guide. When confronting the manager about this we didn't receive a very polite response. The issue was blamed on the cleaner and we felt as if our inquery was of disturbance to the manager. We were at last informed that we could indeed use the stove, but when turning it on it was out of function. Lastly there was a lot of dust and rubbish (including an old sock) underneath the bed.
- Neil (4/5): A bit disappointing, perhaps the place could be described as an upmarket hostel. - Location good. Nice and clean with good shower. Plenty of space in communal areas. Place seems to be run by a robot everything done by text messages and E Mails. Bedroom small. Good to have a communal kitchen but was not sure what we could use as there was notices all over the place even a sign on the cooker saying not to use it! We were told by text to put out our own rubbish, never did find the bins
- Oscar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stuart (8/5): Very good - Very clean and tidy. Small room, no chair either easy or desk, no staff on site. Restrictions on towels, particularly shower mat was always wet as floor had to be wiped after every shower due to plenty of water falling outside the shower walls. Kitchen rubbish overflowed with garbage and not emptied
- Indiana (9/5): Superb -
- Marcus (7/5): Good -
- Jo (10/5): If your after accomodation that is central to everything, is super comfy these rooms are perfect 🤩 - Location was perfect. Rooms were super comfy. A couple of things could be improved, toiletries. Shower gel was empty, tissues would have been nice. No sugar in kitchenette.
- Mara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sonya (8/5): Very good - Great location, home with character and atmosphere plus great facilities Hearing some noise from other guests staying
- Maria (9/5): Lovely place in Byron Bay - We stayed at the one bedroom Loft and it was comfortable. Place is walking distance to town and the beach. Parking is on site and very convenient. Nothing really except maybe the bed was too soft.
- Anna (8/5): Great accommodation; close to beach and shops - Location
Modern
Clean and not worn
- Mike (10/5): good but the extreme stress of getting access and then having to find other accommodation ruined it all - very good cottage accommodation i couldn’t get access on the day booked after nearly two hours on the driveway was told to find alternative accommodation in the town which i had to do as was 9 pm by this time
- Jonathan (10/5): Would stay again - Just as represented in pictures. Clean, comfortable. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. This is not a fancy hotel but a comfortable and well maintained guesthouse. Nice patio and small living room to hang out. Regrettably, tenants in one of the rooms were very loud. Not party people, just loud and boisterous. The sound really carried. Fortunately, they did not stay up late so it did not interfere with my sleep.
- Luke (8/5): Great location and cozy accommodation. Very enjoyable stay at Barbara’s! - Amazing location. Very soft and comfortable bed. Very little to not like about this beautiful accommodation. If I can think of anything, the kitchenette felt a bit grimy and a little too basic. Missing a few essentials and cleaning items.
- Lauren (8/5): Very good -
