This hostel is ok if you are not up for anything otherwise it is the worst hostel i have ever stayed at. I have stayed at cheaper ones, more cleaner and ones that are alot more fun. I would NOT repeat NOT stay at this place for a full moon party, the security is terrible, they did room checks with out asking and looked through our bags with out permission why we were not in the room and took all our alcohol and then would not give it back, the full moon party was crap we were expeting it to be

The girls large showers over the bridge were freezing. Didn't think the full moon party was anything more then a party with a full moon, but still an alright evening. All in all still one of the better hostels.

They were awesome and so super duper nice to take me directly down to the ferry out to the reef when I missed my bus. Excellent service and a lot of fun for a great price. Thanks guys.

The kitchen was terrible, flies everywhere.Flies even chill out on the washed up plates!Lastly needed to check out early to get the ferry to pick up the oz experience bus and discovered reception was closed. No one about for early check out, 7:10 which is not early really. eventually staff who arrived but they were not willing to help and just told me to leave the key on the side so lost $20 key deposit.

location is gorgeous right on the beach, but nothing to do if it's raining and kitchen facilities are cramped and lacking. bathrooms have hair dryer, awesome!

Party place, location is lovely and rooms are big enough. Kitchen wasn't kept clean and showers were freezing all the time. Cheap food and free breakfast deals with some bookings

Awesome location, right on the beach. If you are looking for a party hostel, this is the place to be. If you have come for a good night sleep, avoid the rooms close to the bar, as the music is very loud. The Sanctuary rooms are nicer than the A-frames, but closer to the bar.
