Summary of traveller reviews

Maxmee Resort in Gold Coast is praised for its friendly atmosphere and convenient location near the tram. Some guests enjoyed the social vibe and found it a good base for exploring. However, cleanliness is a recurring concern, with mentions of mould and unclean rooms. It may suit travellers looking for a social, budget-friendly stay.

By far the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms and kitchen are not clean The carpets clearly haven’t been vacuumed in ages, and the kitchen was disgusting and smelly, cleaning is purely superficial The Wi-Fi barely works The location is misleading, the beach is not a 5-minute walk it’s like 20 or more Despite the house rules, parties never end at 10 pm, making it impossible to sleep

Some of the staff were extremely kind and helpful, others were extremely rude and unwelcoming and refused to give us sheets when we found our beds bare. It was so unclean, there was moldy food under the bunks and a giant slob of moldy soap in the shower. Lots of long term individuals, many creeps, don’t stay in a mixed dorm as a female period. It was a good location to access the Glink and the bar had good priced drinks
