Guest Reviews
- Frida (8/5): Bra läge - Bra läge ca 5 min till stranden, bussen till stan och några restauranger. Absolut ett fräscht rum men kunde piffat till det lite. Plus med gratis surfbräda
- Martine (10/5): - The friendliest place I've stayed in a long time. The common areas are a perfect mix of relaxed in atmosphere and comfortable for the minute you sit down. Absolute gem. Recommended for travellers who love an eclectic mix of people and the possibility of work around Noosa or bargain cars being offloaded. This joint had personality in spades.
- Byron (10/5): - Reasonably priced place close to the beach. Staff were friendly and the place had a good vibe to it!
- Nerine (4/5): - The room was not large and the plywood panel lining made it feel smaller. Panelling also hold fluff and could use a clean. Poor sound insulation in walls and ceiling. If your room has common wall with bathrrom you will hear plumbing noise all night. If you chose the room based on internet photo that is has a TV and a built in cupboard you will be disappointed. "Quality bedding" is advertised but quilt set and fitted sheet is well used. No top sheet. Bathroom and shared kitchen are OK. If you are happy with poor sound attenuation, poor asthetics at budget price, close to Noosa Junction this is your pick.
- Julie-ann (8/5): - Great place. I recommend it.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Basic accommodation - Very basic accommodation and facilities. Clean and quiet. Met the need.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The hostel is nice enough but the room was very basic and for $150 not great value but i guess that's Noosa prices for you.
- Shaneeza (10/5): - Its a good place to spend night in this price segment. I recommend
- Ryan (8/5): - The accommodation was fantastic as a backpackers hostel, but the initial description did not describe it as one. Towels weren’t provided and on-site parking wasn’t available. However, the staff were fantastic and really accommodating, and when finding out my partner and I weren’t from the area, they told us some fantastic hot spots and were really helpful with any request/query we had.
- Terence (10/5): Met all my expectations - My room met all my expectations.
- Joanne (2/5): - I have been charged twice for this. Not only was there problems even booking wotif had the wrong date and then was trying to tell me it was my fault) I then only had 1 room not 2. Money had been taken from my account and then I still had to pay again when I got there. Very bad business.
- Josephine (6/5): - Convenient
- Debi (4/5): - It was not good value relative to motels we've stayed at. For the same price other accommodation included tea & coffee making facilities, bar fridges & microwaves in room. There were also no hooks, cupboards or drawers for clothing.
- Nora (8/5): - It has some hammocks to relax in.
- Mitchell (10/5): - Great location, it doesn't get better than that.
- Richard (8/5): - Budget accommodation which delivered what it promised.
- Stacey (10/5): - Really good value for money. Will stay again.
- Valerie (8/5): Clean & Chill, Early check out - Clean basic private room, plenty of space, well located and chill atmosphere. Very early checkout (9:30) which surprised us when we got a loud knock on the door, otherwise all good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean & Chill, early checkout time - Clean basic private room, plenty of space, well located and chill atmosphere. Very early checkout (9:30) which surprised us when we got a loud knock on the door, otherwise all good.
- DOUGLAS (8/5): - Nice, clean, friendly.
- Lisa (10/5): - Dolphins Beach House is excellent value for money. I stayed in a Double Room with ensuite with air con and TV. Access to a kitchen downstairs. The beach was only a 5 minute walk past a variety of cafes and boutique shops. Its in a lovely neighbourhood too. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
- Lee (10/5): - Chill as bruv
- Stuart M (6/5): - Location
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The property is close to everything, shops and beaches.
The property was clean.
The bedding was good.
Cons:
The duvet was not cleaned and the bed sheet looked dirty.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - They double booked my room and couldn’t offer me anything else suitable for my husband and my baby, as a shared bathroom option is not appropriate for a baby.
This is most definitely a youth hostel so don’t make the mistake that it has motel facilities. At 7pm I had to find another accomodation provider and ended up paying twice the price.
Would not recommend this place unfortunately- and I’m not happy with booking experience with wot it as well as the hostel staff told me it’s an over 18s venue and with if shouldn’t have booked me in there with a baby.
Won’t be recommending wot if either- sorry to be blunt but it’s just the truth.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Helpful pleasant staff. Clean facilities.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - .

Fantastic location close to beach & shops
- Damian (8/5): - Comfortable,quiet, close to shops and beach and surf club.
- Tim (10/5): - Close to Sunshine Beach and cafe strip. Great location.
- michael (8/5): dolphins - Great location and value
- michael (10/5): rest place - Excellent value and great location
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good facilities close to beaches and connecting areas
- Verified traveler (10/5): escape - Handy, great location. Our go to every time we need to escape the hustle and bustle of Brisbane city.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very cute hostel. Split into little houses it's very sweet and very clean!
There's washing lines as well so can save money drying your clothes!
Also about 5 minute walk from the beach!
- Verified traveler (6/5): It is okay - Overall this place is okay. The staff was helpful and the setup of the place is good. However, its quite plain in comparison to other hostels. There are no extras like a bar, pool etc. Also, the bathrooms were just okay - could have used a handtowel or something to dry your hands and some hand soap.
Its a cool looking place and it serves its purpose.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Always great
- Kathleen (6/5): Not what we were hoping for - It said check in anytime in a large time frame on the website, we arrived at about 130pm and the sign on the door said back at 2. One other couple arrived shortly after us. All of us waited outside and the person manning the station got off the couch near us where he was watching netflix to open it at 145pm. We went down after getting set up to ask a couple questions at 215pm and the same sign was out and the door closed. A woman needed to finish her smoke and finish chatting with her friends.
Later that night we were trying to get to sleep at about 930 or 10pm and our room must have been located near the washing machines since the wall behind our bed was vibrating since they were still running. This made getting to sleep difficult. When we got around 730am, the washers were going again, so there isnt much for a quiet time for those if youre near them.
We also found a banana chilling in one of our drawers getting brown. The room was designated as a no food zone, and proves whoever cleans after doesnt check everything, the rest of the space seemed otherwise visually clean.
Our stay wasnt terrible, but definitely wasnt what we were expecting. We just wanted wifi (hit and miss in our room, good in common areas), an easy check in/out, and a quiet clean room and we didnt get that.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and friendly staff/guests. Well prices for the type of accommodation
- joan (8/5): Fine - Quiet hostel. Office staff very helpful. Shuttle bus is great but it’s a bit far away from Noosa junction if you have no car. Hostel is in a lovely setting but is a bit tired and dated.
- michael (10/5): Great - Sunshine Beach is the best place on the north coast to relax. The area has everything. Dolphins is great.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 場所は良いですね、周りに店も多いし、ビーチへのアクセスも良い。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great position, relaxing and chilled, colourful and good design.
On the other hand, staff were a bit vague, waited a while for service. No soap dispenser for washing hands and no paper for drying. No lockers for valuables e.g. iPad passport etc.
- Hana (10/5): - Lovely, super friendly staff. Rooms are clean, cheerful.
- Chris (8/5): Great stay to explore the local area - Lovely social area with hammocks and sofas. Laundry is a little annoying as you can't use the handing lines or machines between 8am and 12pm.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - amazing experience and close proximity to everything
- JC (10/5): Nice hotel - Stayed overnight at Dolphins Beach House in Noosa for skydiving. I made my last minute booking online, it was very easy and convenient. Staff is also accommodating and friendly. It was a short stay but I had a great experience.
- Geoff (2/5): Basic cheap and dirty - Booked on expedia knew it was cheap and basic did not realise a backpackers. No reception staff after 6pm. Arrived key left out place so dark had trouble locating room. No towels apparently you can hire but as office closed had no towels , no soap. The mattress protector was blood stained.
