Guest Reviews

• Natalie (8/5): -
• Elisa (10/5): - Superbe auberge. La chambre était confortable et les equipements communs parfait. Petit plus: se rechauffer au coin du feu en ayant vue sur les arbres et les oiseaux 😍. L'auberge est située a proximité immédiate des commerces et de la mer. Nous avons bcp aimé notre soirée au YHA appolo Bay.
• Jaimie (9/5): - Good vibe, good kitchen, nice lounge area with the fire. Showers were cold my first night. Manager did sort it out the following day, though, so that was great. The doors close really loudly, so if you have people going in and out constantly, it's tough to get some sleep. Minor issue.
• Mikayla (8/5): -
• Chris (9/5): -
• Michael (10/5): - The open feeling of the big kitchens and living areas . Convince to the local shops and tourist icon's.

• Dika (9/5): Super Hostel. Gross, Geräumig, Sauber. Hatte alles. Man hat sich wohl gefühlt. - Die Unterkunft war super. War nur eine Nacht da deswegen kann ich dazu nichts sagen.
• Marlene (9/5): - Super ausgestattetes Hostel mit gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Die Zimmer sind fein, ohne unnötigen Kram. Die Gemeinschaftsräume bieten viel Platz und werden täglich gereinigt. Man findet immer eine Ecke mit Privatsphäre. Die Lage ist super, nur wenige Minuten zu Shops und Restaurants und fernab vom Verkehrslärm. Das Kaminfeuer am Abend in der Lounge war der Hit. Das Personal war super, mega freundlich und umgänglich. Habe mich echt wohlgefühlt. Keine Kritik, blosse Anmerkung: als ich da war, war wenig los und daher die Nächte sehr ruhig. Im Zimmer kann man aber die Leute im Gang und Türen sehr gut hören. Aus den Gemeinschaftsräumen ist allerdings überhaupt nichts hörbar.
• Dries (9/5): Prachtig gebouw - Prachtig licht gebouw met veel gemeenschappelijke ruimtes. Personeel mocht een beetje empathischer zijn.
• Gino (9/5): -
• Elliott (10/5): -
• Rauno (8/5): -
• Jennie (9/5): Toppen. - Allt.
• Janina (7/5): - Location, shared facilities, clean kitchen and bathrooms

• YU-WEN (8/5): -
• Amanda (6/5): Lack of hot water did spoil my stay here. - No hot water for shower 2 days running. Luke warm at best then ran cold on and off while showering. Waited at start 3-4 minutes to see if hot water would come but not to be. For a town with limited water and water restrictions having to waste so much for hot to come needs some looking into for sustainability and costs.
• Coline (8/5): -
• Lizzy (10/5): -
• Pofang (7/5): -
• Hannah (4/5): I wouldn’t recommend - There was a lot of outdoor seating though it was quite cold when we were there We have stayed at lots of hostels including other YHA but this one is one of the worst. When we went to check in we had to ring the bell and wait for someone to arrive only to find the staff were sat outside the front having a chat. The bathroom was disgusting and the shower had a large clump of hair in as well as mold in the grout, it also was freezing. The bedroom was ok but the walls are so thin so you can hear all the doors and people talking loudly. We could also hear the hand dryer and the toilet flushing as sadly we were next to the bathroom. We slept so badly I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

• Guest (8/5): -
• emmanuel (8/5): Very good -
• Sofia (9/5): Super suggested! - We had a very pleasant stay at YHA Apollo Bay. The location is great, just a short walk from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The hostel was clean, well-maintained, and had a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We especially appreciated the layout of the spaces, with cozy and inviting common areas well separated from the sleeping areas. The whole place was filled with natural light, thanks to the large windows that bring the surrounding nature inside. The staff were attentive and welcoming, making everything easy during our stay. Overall, a great option for a comfortable and affordable stay along the Great Ocean Road. We would happily stay here again. WiFi could be improved
• Sarah (10/5): - Excellent location, super friendly staff.

• Georgia (8/5): Amazing shared spaces but rooms need work - Great location - absolutely amazing common areas!! So spacious. Mostly clean throughout. There was no oil, salt or pepper- this is a hostel basic!! The beds were rickety - and no curtains, which for me is fundamental.the rooms needed a deep clean as there were someone else’s belongings and toiletries underneath my bed - so more attention to detail would be good
• Niklas (8/5): -
• Luca (7/5): -
• Pietro (9/5): - Ostello molto piacevole con una cucina ben fornita, ottime sale comuni e uno staff davvero piacevole!
• YING KUI (1/5): -
• Fabio (8/5): -
• Alicia (7/5): - Good location Great kitchen set up and dining area. Showers could be better or at least clean, the smell of urine was disgusting. Hand sinks full of hair... Very disappointed with lack of hygiene in the Bathrooms. My bedroom window was broken a kind staff member went around the outside and helped me close it.
• Louise (9/5): -
• Morven (8/5): Outdoor escape - Nice place to stay. Comfy beds and quiet. Near the beach and key shops and restaurants of Apollo bay. Large common spaces including a lounge, tv room, study area. Overlooking nice woodlands. Bathrooms could be slightly cleaner but hard to do this in multi use hostel environments so no judgments.
• Clara (9/5): Bonne adresse sur la Great Ocean Road - Une auberge très confortable à proximité du centre d’Apollo Bay, parfaite pour s’arrêter sur la Great Ocean. Cuisine partagée grande et bien équipée, et un personnel très accueillant
• caroline (8/5): - Great atmosphere Very family vibe for a YHA
• kathy (7/5): - Location good and central Not a lot of character but very functional
• Tim (2/5): - Location very good, but thats all! Property management does not focus at all on overall cleanliness. Only rooms and bathrooms have been clean. Rest of the property was more than poor maintained. Simple things like cleaning the terrace from dirt /bird poo, etc is not given. Furnitures in community area fully run down. No investments in new equipment visible. Door locks way too loud, means everytime someone else door falls in lock, you can hear this very loudly in your room. Nice roof top terrace could be equipped with nice community furnitures. Building offers so much more potential but management does not seem to change anything on this. Can not recommend this place at all.
• Inês (9/5): -
• Joanna (10/5): - Fantastic high quality with superb facilities and extremely comfortable.
• WENHSI (6/5): -
• Stefan (7/5): Schönes Ambiente. - - -
• Emma (7/5): Hot stuffy room. Terrible sleep. - Good facilities and location Room was too hot, no air flow and no fan. Unable to sleep.
• CHIARA (7/5): Buono per una sosta veloce - Camera ok per essere una struttura pensata come un ostello. Le lenzuola erano pulite anche se presentavano un buco. La posizione è comoda per la Great Ocean Road e ha molti locali vicini tra cui anche i supermercati. Bagni puliti. Il letto non ha le prese comode. La moquette presentava polvere.
• Thomas (8/5): Great choice! - Really nice and modern hostel. Friendly staff Nothing, all good. The morning shower took forever to get hot, but that is a minor comment
• Jones (9/5): -
• Ciara (10/5): -
• Miriana (8/5): -
• François (8/5): - La propreté, les équipements et l’emplacement au calme tout en étant près des restaurants, supérettes…(5 /10 mn à pied max) Un accueil un peu impersonnel et un peu cher ((pour une chambre sans SB et son petit déjeuner))
• Mirjam (7/5): Functional enough, but overpriced - Good location, ample parking, spacious kitchen, comfortable common room. Beds were OK too. Staff was hit & miss. Received good local advice for our roadtrip. Institutional kind of place, with an impersonal feel. We felt it lacked character or cosiness. Rooms are spartan. The kitchen lacked any extra's or basics (like cooking oil, tin foil, herbs/spices, paper towels). Bathrooms were not very clean. Terrible wifi - which there really is no excuse for in 2026 ....
• Silvan (9/5): - Room is ok, simple but convenient. The room is poorly soundproofed however. Clean and well maintained common area and kitchen. Bathrooms are in need of renovation and would need a good cleaning.
• Rachel (10/5): Can’t complain - Great location, Comfy bed
• husheng (2/5): 下次不会再定此家 - 公共区域不错 男员工态度差，眼神不友好，也许是不乐意帮助我吧，求助生气
• Shi (8/5): 很好 - 整洁干净。
• Shi (9/5): 好 - 床铺干净整洁 花洒🚿不可调喷水模式
• Yu-Han (7/5): - 廚房的設備很齊全，有許多的廚具可以使用，用餐的環境很大，光線很不錯。離可以用餐跟購物的地點非常近，停車跟買東西都很方便。公共區域的設備跟裝潢都很不錯。 我們住的房間有上下舖，床架老舊會不停發出聲音，房間的隔音不好，房外的人來來去去都可以清楚地聽見，房間內光線昏暗，有點住在監獄房間的偏綠燈光，讓人不太舒服。
• LIN (7/5): - 地理位置不错
• Coral (10/5): Hidden gem - Perfect location for a great ocean road pit stop, the common areas were much bigger than expected and the wood fire was super cosy! Bedrooms had plenty of space and you never had to wait for the shower or facilities. Would definitely stay again! The wifi can be patchy but otherwise highly recommend
• Laoise (9/5): -
• Rik (10/5): - Netjes en schoon. Privé balkon, en diverse terrassen, incl roof top. Locatie dichtbij strand. Goede keukens, maar slecht koekenpannen
• Martha (10/5): -
• Amelia (8/5): Really enjoyed - Super convenient stopover - close to a great cafe, bar/ restaurant, the staff were super polite. Beds comfy & the shared bathrooms even had a hairdryer free to use. Thumbs up!
• Vincent (8/5): -
• IOANNA KYRIAKI (10/5): - The location is great, the kitchen was super clean and well equipped, there’s a rooftop with nice view and many common areas to hang out in, there’s free parking. The staff were really nice and helpful and the whole place was spotlessly clean. I loved it and wish I had stayed longer. The bunk beds are a bit rickety and moved every time the person in the top bunk moved but it wasn’t much of an issue.
• yvette (9/5): - L auberge etait tres bien située pour parcourir la great Ocean Road. A proximité d un sentier de randonnée le long de l ocean. Le personnel tres accueillant et sympathique. La propreté de l auberge. Une cuisine commune bien équipée mais un peu exiguë aux heures des repas. La chambre familiale dispose d'un lit double avec un autre lit superposé juste au dessus du couchage. Pas assez d espace pour se relever sans risque de se heurter la tete.
• Cátia (9/5): - staff was friendly and kitchen facilities were clean no lift , so carrying a heavy trolley up stairs wasn't that comfy
• Angela (7/5): - Die Duschen hatten kein warmes Wasser. Preis-Leistung hat für mich im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften auf der Reise nicht ganz gepasst.
• Kevin (7/5): -
• Toni (10/5): Lloc molt correcte. Repetiria. - El lloc és molt agradable x fer parada durant la Great Ocean Road.
• Wagner (7/5): -
• Amanda (5/5): - family room maybe should have a prober table and right amount of chairs
• Emiro (8/5): Good place for a short stay - The hostel is walking distance to the beach. I also like it has a massive kitchen to cook and socialise with others. We stayed in one of the rooms on the GF and didn’t find very safe the fact that the external door which faces the carpark gets locked with a hook inside. Come on! A better lock can be put in place as seriously anyone can easily break into the rooms.
• Jesse (9/5): - Well equipped kitchen, great location One toilet door wouldn’t lock and one of the shower heads wouldn’t stay elevated so had to be held up by hand. Both should be easy cheap fixes.
• Elliot (8/5): -
• Risqie (1/5): The reception Not respect at all 😡😡 - Nothing at all The room very noisy
• Risqie (1/5): -
• Marco (9/5): -
• Enes (9/5): -
• Martina (8/5): -
• James (5/5): -
• Annette (7/5): -
• Jamy (9/5): Comfortable, well-equipped property in a convenient location - Great place to stay with clean, well-maintained facilities. The game room, TV room, and separate study room were especially useful since I was working during my stay. Convenient walking distance to the beach and nearby shops. Excellent customer service throughout. I liked everything about the property—it’s really good as it is. If any additions were to be considered, I would suggest adding air conditioning in the rooms and desktop screens in the study area so guests can easily connect their laptops.
• Franziska (7/5): - Distance to town center and beach walkable, clean rooms Wifi connection was very poorly and didn’t work most of the time. Please change sponges and cleaning products in the kitchen more regularly
• Simone (9/5): -
• Brett (8/5): A great base to explore the forest with local amenities close. The room was good if a little basic but did the job perfe - Great location and good facilities. A perfect base to explore the Otway national park. There were very few plugs in the room and the bed lamps were old and not great.
• Astrid (8/5): - Ws war sauber
• Adrian (9/5): - Staff friendly attitude N/a
• Jhunnelle (10/5): - They accommodated our request properly.
