Great location right in Bondi, super close to the beach! The vibe was really social and easy to meet people. Rooms were okay, not super fancy but fine for a few nights. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again for the atmosphere!

Honestly comedic the front desk guy was so sassy and aggressive to every single person that came in I got entertainment from watching it. Genuinely never give bad reviews but he tried to force me to give a good review (wasn’t gonna say anything at all) but he literally screamed at a guy for forgetting his key (you just have to press a button) and yelled at another guy for booking through booking.com (said they charge the hostel 40$) kinda funny though so stay here for a laugh and decent locati...

The place is really well placed near Bondi. The rooms also have AC and fans, so the temperature was good. The main issue is that the rooms smell really bad. The staff was ok - not super friendly.

I had an awful stay . Left a night early . Rooms stink , they have no room , and there scruffy. I paid for a 6 person room and got put it in a 8 person room . The top bunks don’t have a ladder so have to jump up and down which is extremely dangerous during the night . Really would not recommend. Not worth the money at all

The bald man at reception was rude in a way that will be spoken about for years to come. Passive aggressive for no reason. Other people in the hostel felt the same at and seeing the reviews this ain’t uncommon feedback so I don’t see why nothing is changing. Someone train that man better. Also the woman was rude as well but no where near as the bald man. Also fix the AC, we’re in Australia??? Also no curtains and if you do anything slightly wrong they’ll fine you. Textbook Unprofessional...

Had a really nice stay ! Bondi Beach Backpackers feels like a little family, the staff is lovely and very welcoming and people are easy to talk to. The Hostel is also very well located. I recommend !

Un desastre, hubo un problema con el pago y estuve días tratando de comunicarme por distintos medios y nunca respondieron. UN DIA ANTES de mi día de check in me avisaron que la reserva estaba cancelada y ya no tenían lugar, en un finde semana donde Sydney estaba lleno y era imposible conseguir alojamiento. La persona que se comunicó conmigo (Rich) fue bastante poco amable.

Really lovely hostel, every single thing you could possibly need had been thought of for your stay, free rental of surf/beach gear (bring $50 deposit plus your passport!), free pasta/rice and cheap dinners on offer should you need them. Super friendly atmosphere and felt really safe as a solo female. Really friendly and helpful staff on hand til late should you need them, answered all my questions and made sure I had a great time. Even a cute dog at the hostel too you can walk if you want to!!

Checking-in took forever: waited 2 hours in the common are; then the guy let me wait in the checking in process for 20 minutes while he went to do the dishes and then only gave me the key, but the room was not ready yet. Rooms way to cramped, ladders not usable, no room to put my stuff. The longterm staying people used all the storage under the bed and infront of it. My backpack was rearranged by staff multiple times so that I struggled to find stuff. The 2$ fee is rude since I use extras!
