Absolute Backpackers Reviews

Booked absolute for 3 days and didnt want to leave so stayed for 5 we would have stayed forever if we could! best hostel ever, so so so clean and friendliest staff ever! Completely gets u away from the hussle and bustle of smelly hostel life. If you've had some bad hostels or even just average you should definately stay here an get away from it, great value for money and all in all amazing. Cant actually put into words how great this hostel is everyone should just go see for themselves!!

If a quiet hostel with clean and chilled out atmosphere is what you are after then stay. Me and my friend were complimentary upgraded which was nice of ther receptionists. My only fault with the room is that the room had a 2 plug socket where 1 was in constand use bt the Air Con, not good when 8 travellers need to charge their electrical equipment. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay.

Friendly staff,and very clean!! Absoluut the place to be!

Very nice and big hostel...more like a hotel with great outdoors...a lot of green trees. For relaxing stay. Helpful staff.

Lovely little hostel set back from the main road. We found it to be the best thing about mission beach as not much was there. Great pool BBQ area and huge kitchen and brill tv room with big sofas and air con. Rooms on the small size but clean. Staff very friendly and helpful even picked up from the bus stop 2 yard away. Shame about mission beach as there was nothing to do 3 shops in the town.

Really good hostel, looks like a small resort.Very clean with a bbq area, pool, big kitchen, tv room....etc everything you need for your stay.

Great tv room and overall atmosphere. Very clean and well equiped kitchen. Would recommend to anyone.

Got a surprise courtesy bus collection from the bus stop when we arrived in at 9pm so was well received. Courtesy bus to the stinger free swimming area during the day

Really friendly staff always bubbly and trying to make you feel welcome, really make an effort to show you around the area. Lovely tropical location (with good air con to counter the humidity). The free wallaby/cassowary tour was really fun and free bbq was greatly appreciated. However, only 1 shuttle into town and 1 to pick you up an hour and a half later. Maybe should have one a bit later for more time for those doing the nature walk? Overall great stay, will come again if we jump the beach!

great staff, so nice to let us stay the night on the sofas when our bus came in at 4am! but, get some disney films!!!!

Best backpacker so far! Thanks a lot peta. Kim and the flashpacker girl

Such a relaxed atmosphere at the hostel and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. A great location and the owner gave great tips on places to visit in the nearby area. Free BBQ was a great bonus! Would definitely stay again!

The Hostel is very very clean! They have a great Pool. And if you got luck you get a free BBQ! And the Stuff is very very friendly!!! Best Hostel ever!!!

Very nice staff, rooms for 4 cleans with air conditioner, bathrooms and toilets cleans, activities every day, quiet place, complete material in the kitchen but very tiny swimming pool !

The twin bed room we have choosen (the double were finished) was clean and essential. The hostel has all services: a very huge kitchen (so you don't have to wait hours to prepare your food)with all accessories, the best toiletts + shower I came along during my trip (super clean!!!)a very nice swimming pool area, more then one pc if you looking for internet and a great customer service, providing many suggestions about locations and activities.

the nicest staff EvER! so helpful and friendly, really made you feel welcome and at home. there were loads of free things to do - such good value for money. the pool is lovely and they had movie nights and quiz nights and it was just so chilled and i'd defo recommend anyone to stay there!

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! Mission beach is a chill out town and this hostel personifies this. The rooms were big, clean and modern. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel pool is excellent and the communal areas were great. The kitchen is big, clean and well equipped. I'll definately stay here again!

The staff were so helpful, particularly Peta who helped me & my boyfriend book our trips. They do a great range of trips & if you book a skydive you get a nights free accomodation! Awesome. The hostel itself was clean, lovely pool & pretty close to the beach. There is an all you can eat buffet across the road which is actually really good value for money. There's not a great deal to do in Mission if you aren't doing trips, but it's a good place just to chill out.

Lovely hostel. Basic but very clean. Kitchen, rooms and bathrooms were all very clean and tidy. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful when asking what to do in the area and when booking excursions. Hostel runs free trips to wallabie and cassowary watch which takes about 30 mins ish which was good to do as well as free bush walks/tours. I would definately come back here!

Lovely pool area. Nice bbq area and friendly staff. Very relaxed atmosphere, great to chill out!
