To use the kitchen you HAVE to use a basket from reception, which they charge you $30 deposit for, even if you dont want the plates/cutlery.

Avaliação completaReally disappointed. Staff were not helpful, seemed more concerned about opening their restaurant business than helping hostel guests. Security is poor, kitchens are okay but sinks often clog up. Rooms aren't cleaned often. Not enough convenient plug sockets in the room, if you have a large travel adapter it will be too big for some. To use the kitchen you HAVE to use a basket from reception, which they charge you $30 deposit for, even if you dont want the plates/cutlery. Bit scammy.

They also kept my deposit because I couldn’t return it in person since no one was at reception at time.

Avaliação completaWorst hostel of my 3.5 months in Australia. Reception is unreliable, even with their opening hours. The kitchen system is absurd ($30 deposit for cheap plastic cutlery, plates and cups). They also kept my deposit because I couldn’t return it in person since no one was at reception at time. Rooms and bathrooms were dirty, the kitchen was filthy, and the constant noise and paper-thin walls made getting any sleep really hard. On top of that 90% of the guests are South Americans on a longterm stay.

I woke up one night and I found my phone has been put on the floor and someone else taken the plug socket. Why they couldn’t leave my phone on the side I don’t know.

Avaliação completaSOLO FEMALE BACKPACKER I’ll start with the positives: The property itself is nice, the common area is spacious, the pool is really nice, the kitchen is clean and well-equipped, and the location is very convenient. The not so positives: The people staying there. Most of the people staying are long-term working holiday makers, and I found them to be the most hostile and messy group I’ve encountered while traveling. The dorm was extremely untidy when I checked in, and when I asked to move rooms, I was told the hostel was fully booked, the only reason my bed was available was because someone left temporarily for a wedding. When I later spoke with the owners, they explained that the rooms are serviced weekly and that long-term guests can be “a bit clicky.” (They did offer me a full refund on my stay but I couldn’t find anywhere else in my budget at such short notice) it felt far beyond “clicky” I’ve never felt so excluded and alone in a hostel. I was lucky enough to have a car and I kept my bag in the car as there was no space for me in the room. One the social side of things, one evening I was sitting at a large table in the common area when a group chose to move to a table directly behind me instead of sitting nearby, continuing to speak in their own language while looking my way. Parties are frequent and loud, often running late into the night. One night, someone came into the dorm at 11pm, turned on the light while I was sleeping, and refused to turn it off when I asked, saying I should “wait” because it was the only light in the room. I asked if she can use her phone torch, she said “no”. There was also only one plug in the room what worked. I woke up one night and I found my phone has been put on the floor and someone else taken the plug socket. Why they couldn’t leave my phone on the side I don’t know. The atmosphere made my stay really uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hostel if you are just traveling through and hoping for a welcoming environment. (Yes people were still using those tooth brushes, they moved daily)

Análise do ambiente
Coral Beach Lodge tem uma estrutura centrada na piscina, com música, jogos e áreas comuns grandes, então pode parecer mais um compound de working backpackers do que um motel quieto. A piscina, mesa de bilhar, pingue-pongue, sala de exibição, espaços externos e cozinhas grandes dão ao lugar um potencial real de encontro quando a turma encaixa. Os quartos podem ser espaçosos, limpos e confortáveis, com banheiros privativos em pelo menos algumas configurações, além de detalhes úteis como estacionamento, espaço na geladeira, pátios e uma localização caminhável em Port Douglas perto da praia, marina, lojas e centro. As cozinhas são um ponto forte recorrente, embora o sistema de cesta e depósito possa irritar. A troca é a volatilidade. Moradores de longa estadia moldam muito a atmosfera, e visitas curtas podem parecer estranhas se o dormitório já tiver cara de vivido. O barulho pode ir até tarde, especialmente perto da cozinha e áreas comuns, e a cobertura da recepção é limitada. É melhor para mochileiros sociáveis que lidam com bagunça, barulho e uma estrutura solta do que para quem tem sono leve ou precisa de suporte confiável de recepção.
Sinais para conferir
- O barulho pode ir até tarde, com música, atividade na cozinha e festas afetando quartos próximos.
- A limpeza é inconsistente, com quartos, banheiros, roupa de cama, cozinhas, insetos e pias entupidas aparecendo como problemas recorrentes.
- O horário da recepção é limitado, e a disponibilidade da equipe pode ser pouco confiável fora do período diurno.
- Os dormitórios podem parecer dominados por residentes de longa estadia, com pouco espaço, pertences por toda parte e uma atmosfera de panelinha.
- Segurança e acesso podem parecer frouxos, incluindo códigos simples nos quartos, controle limitado do portão e depósitos por chave de locker.
