Backpackers in Paradise - 18 to 40 Years

Very satisfied! They even provide free laundry detergent for washing clothes, which I really appreciate. Although it's not a brand new hostel, the overall quality of the stay is great – it has everything you need. It's also the most affordable backpacker hostel I've stayed at, thumbs up! 👍💕 It's the best backpacker hostel!!! Not new but has everything! Comfortable, safe, and free laundry detergent for washing clothes 🧼.

The room was clean and spacious. The shared toilet and bathroom were also clean. Towels were provided, and a hairdryer could be borrowed for free. It was close to Seaside Paradise, so we could easily access the beach and commercial facilities. There was no elevator, but the reception staff helped carry our luggage upstairs.

The view from the room was beautiful thanks to all the windows. It made the room feel very spacious, even with ten people occupying it.

I read all the comments and expected the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, the accommodation itself is quite spartan, almost like not even being in Australia. But the main thing is there's a place to sleep, the bed is comfortable enough, and there's a shower with hot water and a toilet. It was clean. On the property, there's a bar, a pool, billiards – plenty of space to spread out. For this price, I think it's a top-notch place.

Extending my stay for two nights and moving to a different room was the worst decision. The 20-person dorm was actually much more comfortable. There was no air conditioning in the new, cramped room, with beds so close you could barely squeeze past. With zero ventilation and terrible air circulation, it was so hot and stuffy I felt sick. I honestly would have preferred sleeping outside on those scorching nights. In fact, other guests were sleeping on the chairs in the common area outside, and I ended up doing the same. It was a truly hellish experience. Plus, there are pigeons in the kitchen. The only upside is the location. I dreaded going back to that room with no AC, packed with people in such close quarters.

I was able to borrow a hairdryer from the front desk, and two towels were placed on the bed. I stayed in a double room, not a shared room. It was a setup where one flat had three private rooms, so I could use the shared toilet and shower without really encountering other people.
