DO NOT STAY HERE This hostel is disgusting, the most unkept I’ve ever seen and I’ve stayed in many, including international. My girlfriend and I paid $410 to stay here for 3 nights, and on arrival there was a few issues such as the stair cases having no lighting, it was worrisome but nothing too alarming. On further inspection, we entered the hallway to be faced with hundreds of bugs in and around the kitchen. On top of that, we entered our room and were taken aback. Not only was it visibly filthy with dust and dirt, the window was left open with no fly screen, so we were greeted with a few critters. As per usual, I brought my sanitising wipes to do a quick rundown. Everything, and I mean everything, was disgusting. So much dirt and grime that lifted suprisingly easy - not sure if that’s a sign of “we didn’t clean it this time” or “we never bother”. The door knobs, counters, everything. Aside from that, there was a hole in the door, graffiti, mattresses with stains, no water, exposed metal, the curtains hung by zip ties.. The biggest problem though - the bugs, copious amounts of bugs that tried to make home in our suitcases. There was insufficient flooring in our room, so the bugs were literally coming through the floors, despite our best efforts to seal everything, it just wasn’t possible. I can’t explain how disgusting this place was, looking through naked eye, it may seem okay. But if you want to stay somewhere that you don’t get bed bug bites - I’d advice elsewhere. My girlfriend and I had the easter weekend off and we were really keen, only to be presented with this. I’m thoroughly disappointed that this place thought it was acceptable to give us this bug infested hole, please be warned and stay the F away. It was also very time consuming to get a refund, and when I did, it was for only one of the nights.

This hostel is extremely dirty and is known for bed bugs and really dirty and stained bedding. We felt dirty leaving this place and didn't want to touch anything. The staff there are extremely rude and unprofessional. Definitely do not go here

Terribly run hostel. Hostel manager refused to release mail, and ended up having to file a police report in order to get it back. Also forced several of us into hostel rooms that joe knowingly were infested with bed bugs. Verbally abused, and threatened guests who complained. Fragile male ego I guess 🤷

This hostel could be ok if the week cost 130$ (or less) but it cost 200$ which is a scam when you take in consideration the cleanliness, the fournitures condition, the size of the room ... The housekeeping is made maybe 1 time per week or every 2 weeks. I have massive bites on each part of my body while i was sleeping in the room 507, maybe bed bugs ? I don't really know. This is the only backpack in the area so they take profit of it. If I only put 1 star that's because the price is abusive for backpackers who wants to work in this area, I don't recommand it even if the people who's living there are lovely.

Nicht mehr das was es mal war. Es ist dringend davon abzuraten in diesem Hostel zu übernachten. Es ist eine einzige Horrorgeschichte, hier gibt es jede menge Kakerlaken,die durch die Küche krabbeln. Dazu ist es überall Unglaublich dreckig und versifft. Geht lieber nach maroochydore. Freunde von mir hatten hier sogar schon Bettwanzen.Nie wieder !! Cockroaches everywhere and bedbugs in the rooms. Don't go there, it is dirty everywhere. Never again !!

Vibe-analyse
Gratis surfboards zijn beschikbaar, en dat is een van Abode Mooloolaba’s duidelijkste perks: het maakt de ligging aan de strandkant nuttiger dan alleen dichtbij het water zijn. Het hostel ligt op korte loopafstand van het strand, Sea Life, winkels, eetplekken en lokale bars, met ook parking beschikbaar. De sociale kant kan goed werken wanneer de activiteiten draaien. Wine and cheese-avonden, sausage sizzles, yoga, trivia, BBQ’s en pooltafeltijd geven de plek een makkelijke manier om anderen te ontmoeten, en het zwembad is een echte bonus op hete Sunshine Coast-dagen. Personeel is vaak warm en hands-on, met Saab die eruit springt als bijzonder gastvrij. Kamers lopen uiteen van schone privé-ensuite setups met airco en comfortabele bedden tot slaapzalen die bewoond, rommelig of muf kunnen voelen. Het hostel heeft een chilled, kleinschalige backpackerfeel in plaats van een gepolijste motelvibe, en het past misschien beter bij stranddagen en casual sociale avonden dan bij iemand die vlekkeloze faciliteiten of late-night gemeenschappelijke ruimtes verwacht.
