Rainforest Backpackers Reviews

Excellent place to stay. The staff were very helpful and the free spa was awesome after hiking. The bar is a great place to meet people and there was $15 all you can eat pizza while I was there. The communal kitchen is huge but is directly below the dorms, so can get noisy when people are leaving early in the morning. It's also a stopover for tour buses which some people may want to avoid.

We had a lovely stay here, the staff were very helpful and our room was so clean with comfortable beds and even a tv in our room!

There were large and noisy tour groups taking up most of the hostel. There was vommit on the back of one of the toilet doors. The kitchen was really good though, and the cheap meals at the bar were nice

We were given milk for tea and coffee but there was no fridge to keep the milk cold.

A bit out of town, liked the pool .

I think our visit was skewed by the fact that 4 giant bus tours arrived at the same time.

The German girl on the front desk was most helpful at check in and check out. Very smilely with a warm welcome:)

Why pay $23 to visit Glacier Hot Pools across the street when Rainforest Backpackers has their own jacuzzi? Ok, I'm sure the Glacier Hot Pools are a little nicer, but for budget travelers like me who just want to relax after a long, beautiful mountain hike, this place was perfect. They have great backpacker dinner specials at the restaurant. FJ is tiny, so you can't get lost. Go find the glow worms on a little trail just past the "Our Lady of the Alps" Catholic church on the south end of town.

I didn't know this place allows noisy parties at night.

Great location- away from the main road, but about a 5 min walk, and directly across from the hot pools and close to restaurants. Restaurant/bar at the hostel has happy hours and decently priced food, not to mention active fireplaces, which was nice. Kitchen/tv area are big and open; rooms have keys but the doors don't automatically lock so you have to trust your roommates. Negatives-there are common showers and toilets which anyone off the street could use (and did), and only 1 outlet set/room.
