Overall good stay. Good location and great staff. Kitchen has everything you need. No curtains on the beds is a bit unfortunate but besides that, the place is great.

Had a great stay at Bounce. Really nice facilities (the kitchen is one of the best hostel kitchens I’ve used), the staff are friendly and super accommodating, the location is so close to Main Street, there’s a gym located in the building with a discounted day pass rate from the hostel, and although I didn’t get a chance to do any of the hostel activities they have stuff scheduled every night for people to join. Great place!

The staff are all amazing and make everyone feel so welcome and they are ALL BEAUTIFUL. I had such a great stay at Bounce in Airlie Beach! The atmosphere was amazing and it was so easy to meet people and make friends. The common areas were really social, and there was always something going on, which made it such a fun place to stay. The location was also perfect for exploring Airlie and getting to all the tours and activities. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the whole hostel had such a fun,
