Reviews of Mango tourist Hostel

Pleasant house with lovely communal areas. Bathrooms are clean and there are enough for everyone.

No external locks. This was strange but there weren't any issues. Never actually met the owner and neither had most of the people staying when we were there.

Good location. Close to beach and shops. Reasonably quiet once the traffic settled. Bed was comfortable and room basic but clean. Owner very friendly and helpful.

Fridge wasn’t working and we couldn’t prepare a meal. Not sure about the shower as we didn’t use it. No where to put clothes.

We were kept awake by another male guest who invited a female friend over and had a loud conversation in the kitchen until 1 AM

Phil! The owner is charming and great for sorting deals on tours always available by phone for help and often pops by the hostel, good for chat. Small set up rarely more than a handful of people as only one 4 bed bunk room, plus a twin and a double room. The hostel is clean and tidy if slightly eccentric. Other guests are often friendly. The kitchen has a four burner gas hob, microwave toaster kettle sink, everything you could need there is plentiful outside veranda as it's old QLD.

Phil was lovely to talk too, very helpful. Facilities were clean and tidy. Wifi was good.

Location wise it was close to the beach but a little hard to spot from the road.

Phil and his wife were lovely

.

Tiny shower room. No shelves, or hooks to put things. No soap holder. Still have no idea where the light switch is for the toilet. No rack or hook in room to hand wet towel. Walls open to neighbor inv room so here all noise from room next door

It was just perfect really as it was quiet

The security wasn’t the best

Beautiful little house quiet and if your live nature it was gorgeous

Nothing bed's could be comfier but for the price I have nothing but praise for the place

Homey vibes and airy. The double room we stayed in was clean, roomy and bed was comfortable. The place is surrounded by trees and gives it a foresty relaxing vibe. Kitchen is clean and functional to cook your own meals. Fridge is clean and decent size. Owners are friendly and so is their fur girl Layla. They have a washing machine, you only have to ask before using it as you are someone's home. We washed our clothes and hang them after we asked. Our first stay in a hostel and we get to meet a few new people in a weeks' stay which is interesting.

Checking time online that said you can check in from 11 am so we picked 11am but couldn't as the room was not ready yet as it is too close with the check out time which is 10am. ?Maybe needs change to check in time to a time not too close to check out time so that when people come in they can get their room. Owner said we can come in and sit somewhere in the hostel while getting our room ready which is nice, we were just tired from a long drive and want to lay and rest. Anyway, we returned and checked in after 2pm and our room was ready.

No breakfast provided

On arrival I was too scared to get out of the car and the owner asked if I was at the right place. He seemed angry, and angry at my questions. Like is the entrance locked replying with "No, nothing is ever locked"

Great old house

Our room was very noisy with people coming and going

LOCATION

ANOTHER GUEST WAS SCREAMING ALL NIGHT AND WHEN MANAGER CONTACTED NOTHING WAS DONE
