Nomads Airlie Beach

Avoid this place! Worst hostel experience ever. Zero Wi-Fi in the room, which was super annoying. Then my food got stolen from the kitchen. When I asked for help, the staff was useless—they claimed they "don't have access" to the kitchen cameras. What a joke! Why even have them? On top of that, the kitchen equipment is total trash. Unhelpful staff and zero security. Save your money and stay somewhere else!

Avoid this hostel. If you even manage to find cutlery it was likely not clean anyway. Mixed dorm with no working locks on toilet and shower and shower flooded constantly. WiFi doesn’t reach the rooms. The floor next to my bed had ants everywhere and still getting them out of my bag now. No common areas other than a crowded main reception. Facilities are a complete minimum and the place just feels dirty and very outdated. Would never stay there again

I think that the only thing good about this place is the location. If you’re 18 or a low maintence person who only wants to party you MAY be okay. I consider myself pretty mid range I stay in hostels frequently and typically it’s fine. This place was filthy, the room was very isolated and scary to get to at night, the windows didn’t lock and for where the room was located it was just not secure. The location was great but even that is not worth it

Het is soort van een party hostel, als je in een verkeerde kamer wordt geplaatst zit je naast boaty’s, de club. Het was erg vies, ik had kakkerlakken in de badkamer en slaapkamer.

This is the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I was only here for 2 nights and needed a cheap place to stay so I booked a mixed room and didn’t get any sleep at all because the girl on the bunk below me had a guy over both nights, shaking the bed, and had no respect for others. It was awful. Even though this isn’t exactly the hostel’s fault, it wouldn’t have happened if they had better security on who comes in and out of the rooms. It was also not clean, musty smelling, and very confus...

i got bedbugs

I don’t even know where to start… The cleanliness of the room and kitchen was really bad. The is no amenities! No soap in the bathroom to wash your hand or a bath mat is the bear minimum. The top bunk bed was just under the AC so it was really cold and there is just a thin sheet to cover yourself… I am very disappointed

Great location but that’s it! The room (a deluxe 4 bed mixed dorm) was by far the worst room I have ever stayed in. Broken window latches, broken taps, broken shower, windows without curtains and old rusty bunk beds! There was nothing ‘deluxe’ about this room, and glad I only had to stay one night! Would not recommend.

Everyone else checking in got into their rooms room between 12 and 2 which didn’t bother me. I tried to check in at the check in time of 3 to be told my room would still be up to half an hour. Two reception staff in particular were very unapologetic and unhelpful but one girl was very friendly. Rooms are very basic and bathrooms were dirty and seemed that they hadn’t been cleaned. There was a strange slime/moisture on the floors that never dried and the window was broken so lots of bugs got ...

using your phone as the key sucks

We had the best time in Airlie Beach at Nomads. Ellis and Ana were lovely and made our stay special!!!!

Overall great location and clean beds . Lovely surroundings with trees and birds. However kitchen was disguting and the bathrooms in the room was dated with a few cockroaches and no slip mats which was risky getting out the bath

here’s my issue: if you get the updated room 10/10. if you get the outdated room 2/10. I’m so serious when I say this & it’s all just based on luck. I made 2 different reservations bc I was on the overnight boat tour: 1st room, phenomenal - curtains, clean bathroom, light up mirrors, etc. 2nd room, run down motel vibes at best - mold in the shower, ants on the floor, literally disgusting. & the best part?! a $2 difference.

Ellis was great and really helped us out

Schön gestaltet mit den Bungalows, Pools und die Zimmer sind gross wenn auch nicht modern. Lage ist super und man kann sein Gepäck deponieren für mehrere Tage. Leider war die Küche oft dreckig und man musste Utensilien suchen...

Nice location and big hostel! The 2 pools were very nice. The thing is… i had 3 cockroaches in my room (1 in someone’s bed) and the kitchens en tables outside were dirty. This was the first time in Australia that i had cockroaches in my room so that makes my rating lower. They also don’t respond to the chat in the app. And my biggest other thing is: the facilities. The hostel only has common era’s outside. While my entire stay it was raining so the only other option was to go to my room...

The hostel was in such a great location, super vibey and clean! Teagan was so helpful and made our stay very comfortable, cannot recommend more !!!

Ellis, Ana and Lynn were amazing on reception!!

Great hostel! Bàrbara at reception was really helpful and kind, answering all our questions and helping with activities.
