None.

Very comfy bed, clean bathrooms, good location.

I stayed in an 8-bed dorm room. The beds do not have curtains and are relatively flimsy, so depending on who you share with... a bit wobbly. Pillows were very thin, too. Needed to use clothing to prop underneath. Mattress was okay, and there is a bedside light you can use, too. Another thing was that the cleaner came in at 830 am on a Sunday morning, which I thought was pretty odd, given it was cleaned the night before, and checkout is 10 am on any given day. There was loud partying going on downstairs at night, but I booked in on a Friday/Saturday night, so that's typical and kind of to be expected - I can't speak for Sunday through to Thursday.

The facilities were definitely clean and cleaned regularly, nice decor, and the vibe was friendly and easygoing. Many people asked me if I needed help with my luggage on the way in, and were friendly in general, that is always nice. The place had well-coordinated events, and staff were great at communicating this to guests. There was a 7/11 around the corner, with a few other shops. And other amenities within reasonable walking distance to the hostel, location is very doable without a car. The tea, coffee, and milk provided by the hostel were a nice touch. It meant it didn't need to buy and store these things. Common areas were nice, and there are some very cool swinging egg chairs out the front. Designated smoking areas on the property. And lots of games, like darts, ping pong table, and small pool.

My stay was nothing short of excellent! The property is conveniently located very close to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and others to surf. One of the highlights was the friendly atmosphere among guests; many spent time by the pool, chatting and sharing stories with one another. Additionally, having access to a kitchen allowed the guests to prepare their own meals, adding to the comfort of my stay. Ms. Mary, the owner, is incredibly accommodating and always ready to assist with any directions requests or questions. Her warm hospitality made my visit even more enjoyable.

I kept getting interrupted sleep from other travellers who were being a bit rowdy and talking loudly directly outside the rooms after 11pm on the balcony, which compounded as they kept triggering the sensor lights to flick on and off which came through the windows.. It wasn't the fault of the staff, but it might be nice to have a poster or reminder to use the downstairs social at night to reduce the noise. The air conditioning still needed tweaking in the girls dorm as it lasted too cold.

The swimming pool and social areas were very relaxing.

Central location, very clean, safe, well appointed and staff on the ball. Highly recommended

Party house- kept awake both nights with excessive noise throughout the night and other guests smoking outside the room we occupied which caused a bright light to come on through the night and fumes. Left earlier then planned - not good value for money. Used to backpackers as base to stay but this was not what I would recommend, unless you want a party

Clean bathroom and room - although very small

Stayed in July 2025

Check in & check out was confusing and a bit annoying - the location where they stored my luggage for the day seemed a bit dodgy, I was quite nervous for the rest of the day before I could check in - guy in the morning said to come back a little earlier than 2 & we can see if I can check in to my room early. So I did, but then found out that reception was “closed” until 2pm. So I just sat around for 30 mins - check out was by 10am. So, at 9:30am I go to hand my key back and finalise my stay but there was no one around - despite the sign saying “reception opens at 9am”. Seems weird to not have someone around in the morning when you know there’s check outs happening. The phone number provided kept hanging up on me, so I ended up just leaving the key beside the door & left. As well, there are sensor lights all along the balcony where the rooms are. Understandable, but they were picking up movements of literally anything, and the blinds don’t do a good job of blocking light out, so the room was lighting up all throughout the night. Lastly - I know it’s a hostel and people are there for a fun time - but there were guys that were up and shouting until about 4-5am. Most hostels I’ve stayed at have rules around quiet hours, making sure those people who don’t want to be up all night partying are able to enjoy their stay just as much as those that do.

Was super bright & affordable. Facilities were great quality - bathrooms were clean

Friendly staff and residents was welcomed warmly comfortable stay for a couple of days travelling on the road needed a place to sleep

Stayed in March 2025

No toilet paper in ladies toilet upstairs at 9pm. No clean hand towel or paper towel to dry hands. Noisey outside our room. Not much sleep, music can be heard until midnight. Other hostel users yelling out to friends and talking loudly on phone outside room. Wouldn't stay close to stairs again, or bathrooms. Perhaps bar fridges in rooms would be a great idea.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean.

Stayed in June 2025

Kitchen was dirty, but is not the fault of the staff is because of people that cook doesn’t clean after. So

The hostel is brand new and it was super clean. Staff is very friendly. Easy parking either on he hostel or street. Close to shops and the beach. They even provide blanket and towel. It is ok if you are not looking to much into socialize and just to chill by yourself and rest which was what I wanted after a long month of travel

Stayed in April 2025

Limited number of bathrooms. Very loud party of the neighbors that was going on by time of check in and continued to in the night.

Nice small scale hostel with open people and good activities. Hostel is close to plenty of restaurants.

Room was disgusting, smelt like wet clothes and feet. My bed covered with dirt from people’s shoes. Staff member agreed it stunk to high heaven, manager said she’s think about a refund as I chose to stay somewhere else-no refund

Poor inexperienced management. On checking in I was asked how long my stay was. I responded, 7 nights. (My bill was settled 4 days earlier through Booking.com). On my final day while hiking the Noosa Heads, same manager that checked me in calls me on the phone and says I'm only paid up for 6 days. She insisted I check my records and come and discuss it with her before 7pm when she was due to finish. I checked my account and receipts, and sure enough payment was settled fully for the 7 nights. No apologies for the error/unnecessary harassment. When I first arrived at the B/Packers I was surprised when management told me the place was normally only available to guests between the ages of 18-35. (There is no mention of this on the Booking.com website, which management acknowledged was probably due to the property being a recent listing so there are still some issues that require sorting out). In view of this I was put in a 10-man dormitory for the first night and told I would be in a different room the following night with others closer to my 'older' age. The security at the hostel is non-existent: 1. I headed to my 10-man dorm, Approx 6 beds were already occupied, and 'somebody' was sleeping on the rooms couch. When that person got up, they put a wedge under the main door and left the room. I reported this to management. 2. Between 7pm and 8am there are no managers/security personnel on site to deal with urgent situations that arise. 3. The 8-digit pin number that guests are issued with to access their Dorms/rooms is too long and the electronic mechanisms/keypads on the doors are too fiddly, hence why guests are wedging doors open and using the Managers 4-digit master pin number which gives access to every guest room in the building. (Even I was given this 4-digit number directly by a manager outside of her work hours, over the phone, when my door failed to open using the Dorms 8-digit pin number).

The Backpackers location was only a 10 min walk to the beach and 15-20 min walk to Maroochydore town centre. There are a selection of restaurants and cafes all within 5 -10 min walk from the premises. The whole building has been refurbished by the new business owners relatively recently. As I was staying in a Dorm, I was able to check in early.
