• Diego (1/5): - Nada, todo una mierda La duchas asquerosa se inunda sola, el staf es estúpido, tena una actividad así q llege dos horas tarde al check out y cuando llege me habían cobrado automáticamente un día más sin informarme y encima los desgraciados cogieron mi ordenador mis dos hearfones cargadores y el reloj y los llevaron a recepción sin avisarme, solo cogieron esos mi maleta etc no las tocaron. Pésima gestión

• YUNG SHAN (3/5): The staff should make sure all the backpackers know they need to keep quiet in the room after 10pm -
• Ihsiu (9/5): -
• Stephania (1/5): - Nothing The most disgusting place, they told me the gave a bed in a room and as soon as I went in all the beds were occupied and the place was beyond of disgusting and then when i talked about it with the lady at the reception she got angry at me!! As if you ask for a Clean place this is not the place for you, I was so scared that night that I had to sleep with my belongings over the bed, like that crazy, Horrible place, don't stay here.
• Divola (5/5): -
• Hannes Ronny (6/5): It’s alright but not for long term. - Staff was very friendly. Bed was super comfy. Bathroom in my room was full of stuff from my roommates. I didn’t have space to put my stuff anywhere when I was in the bathroom. The room smelled a bit strange. Not bad but also not good. It’s hard to describe. When it rained, the water stayed on the footpaths to every room and you had to jump over it.
• holly (6/5): - Beds were comfy, easy access to amenities. Party hostel (i only booked last minute wanted to get my head down for night).
• Willow (10/5): I loved it here, would recommend - The environment is very social, rooms are clean and the staff are friendly, the location is also an added bonus, everything is around a 10-15 minute walk away, very accessible
• Leona (10/5): - I stayed at this hostel and had a really good experience. The place was clean and comfortable, which made me feel relaxed right away. The beds were cozy, and I liked that I had enough space to keep my things.The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were always ready to answer questions and gave great tips about places to visit nearby. It made my trip much easier and more fun.I also enjoyed the atmosphere. It was easy to meet other travelers, and there were common areas where people could sit, talk, and hang out. It felt social but not too noisy, so I could still rest when I needed to. The location was another big plus. It was close to public transport, shops, and some popular attractions, so getting around was simple. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and affordable place to stay. I would happily stay here again!

• Charles (10/5): -
• Nico (10/5): - Had such a good time at Bounce! Big shoutout to Carol and all the staff , always in a great mood, super friendly and full of awesome tips to enjoy Cairns 😄 The hostel is always clean, and the vibe is just perfect to meet new people. The activities they organise are so much fun, especially the pool tournament, loved it! 🎱 Definitely one of the best hostels to chill, party a bit, and make memories. Thanks again Bounce! 😎
• Victor (10/5): - I just stayed for one night, but everything was all right, the staff was great!
• Michelle Siig (8/5): Amazing hostel but party hostel - The rooms were nice, good comfy beds, everything was clean. Good facilities including a good kitchen with everything you would need. You only have to buy the food you're gonna cook, they already have a bunch of spices to put on! They have a bunch of events at night, and it's very easy to meet and socialize with new people. The pool area is great as well! And the location couldn't be any better! You can walk to a lot of local attractions. I didn't like that it was nosy at night. Loud music and partying stops late (around 30 past midnight).

The kitchen and the dorms is clean and the bar is really nice with many options. Nothing to complain about. I would recommend this hostel to everyone who visit Cairns:)
• Miles (7/5): You get what you pay for with Mad Monkey Hostels - Mad Monkey hostels tend to be a cheap stay with a good social atmosphere. There are regular events and good facilities if your staying long term on a WHV The beds do not feel very sturdy, are a real pain to get out of if you are on the top bunk. They also come with no privacy curtain whatsoever. Second, the lockers are made in a way that you must have a small padlock to even use them
• Edoardo (10/5): - Ottima posizione e ottimo rapporto qualita prezzo. Staff gentile e attento a far rispettare le regole. Pulizie giornaliere. A volte può essere caotico ma hey.. è un ostello!
