Honestly, this hostel was awesome. Super chill vibe, really friendly staff, and everything was clean and comfy. Met a lot of cool people there and felt at home right away. The location was perfect too, close to the beach. Couldn’t really ask for more - definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Would 100% come back!

When I needed to cancel, I was unsure how to do it through the Hostelworld account, so I contacted the hostel directly. They told me not to worry, but that I would lose the payment for the first night since I cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. I agreed to that. However, I was also charged for the second night, even though your website states that cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance should be refunded

Thought it was wild that you had to sign out if you wanted to use a pot, pan, large bowl or strainer. One of the staff members was pretty rude in every interaction I had with them. Room and kitchen was clean.

About Broome

A stunning beach town located along the West Coast of Australia, Broome is nothing short of special and it sure does offer something for every kind of traveller. The west coast of Australia is pretty special, and Broome brings its best game. An exquisite ‘picture-perfect’ beach – we’re talking 22 kilometres of white sand with romantic camel rides - puts the uniqueness and beauty of this town into perspective.

Broome backpackers hostels offer both private and dorm room options, catering to all types of travellers. For a fun, social atmosphere, choose a beachfront hostel with a pool and a buzzing bar that hosts regular barbecues and themed party nights. Or perhaps you’d rather chill out in a hostel with a waterfall pool, beer garden and fire pit? Whatever vibe you’re after, you’ll be able to find a Broome hostel to suit.

When choosing between our Broome hostels, you can either choose to stay close to the city centre or along the coast close to Cable Beach Road. Choosing a centralised hostel will allow you to be right in the middle of the action and within walking distance from the city’s attractions like famous museums and cinemas, plus the best nightlife and foodie spots. However, staying a bit further out might be the perfect option for those looking to enjoying a holiday getaway of relaxing along the beach and exploring the coast. Sunset seekers should opt for a hostel near Cable Beach Road, as it offers some of the most incredible sunset views you’ll ever encounter.

The land down under doesn’t disappoint when it comes to a variety of things to do. We’re talking unique wildlife, stunning beaches and adventure all crammed into one small beach town. Broome is home to the biggest known population of Snubfin dolphins, so make the most of these cute creatures and hop on an ocean cruise to get up close and personal with them. The romantics out there will love a stroll along Cable Beach on a camel’s back during sunset. Broome is the place to feed your curiosity about dinosaurs, with a Hovercraft tour that lets you witness some perfectly preserved dinosaur tracks. Adventure lovers will love exploring Horizontal falls via boat or seaplane. Those looking for a little R&R - Sun Pictures open-air cinema is the perfect spot to wind down after a long day of exploring. Not to mention that this small town packs a punch when it comes to nightlife - from cocktail pubs to live gigs, there’s something for everyone.

Walk, cycle, rent a car, take a bus or take a taxi to get around! There is a local bus service that runs 7 days a week. Walking and cycling are popular ways to explore the town and its beaches. You can find several outlets where you can hire bikes from in town. If you’re looking for a little more freedom during your explorations, why not round up a couple of your hostel mates and hire a car from one of the many hiring companies, to explore Broome on your own time.
