A really cool hostel but unfortunately a few areas letting them down. The staff are great, welcoming and helpful. The hostel itself is a super fun space. Super cheap and affordable. And a near spot to Byron. However it does not attract the best guests. We found people did not respect the space or other guests. The kitchen area was disgustingly dirty. The 10pm noise curfew was ignored and the pod next to us raved with loud speakers until 2am when we had to personally tell them to turn their music off, after they had been told off by staff several times previously with no consequences enforced. The travellers were generally unfriendly and hostile, which is a shame as could be a brilliant vibe like other hostels if they could implement some new rules or stand up for the place and enforce them.

Kitchen dirty and not much kitchen utensils and all in bad condition. The beds in the teepee didn't have blanket so it was cold to sleep. Noisy.

ew! worst place ever stayed nothing about it was nice, the bathrooms were vile plasters, mud and hair all over the floors. the room didn’t have an aircon so it was like being in a sauna there was a fan in one corner that you couldn’t move and it just blew out hot air, the bed was rock solid! the kitchen was a mess! if you have a car the parking lot was full of pot holes! it’s about 20 mins walk to the beach
