Staff behind the desk 24hrs are amazing here. They’re all so happy to help and make sure you have/had a good time. I was well taken care of and my stuff looked after while I went away. But remember it is a backpackers, so very busy and sociable! Thanks team 🤩

It was an okay stay. We had booked the wrong dates on arrival and the staff very kindly re-arranged so we did have somewhere to stay! Which was lovely of them and they were very accommodating. The kitchen was very crowded and the fridges/cupboards where overflowing with bags. I was a little annoyed with the 'cancelation policy' and it probably would have been better if they had said no refund (less fuss!). We booked a night at the hostel then had an offer of free accommodation. I went to ask for a refund and the man said they don't do refunds but they do vouchers that we can sell on to another backpacker. It's a silly idea really because the hostel sold the room on that night so we were $95 out of pocket because no one wanted to buy the room and the hostel still sold our beds at $95 (so they actually made a profit!) Honestly would have been less stress and frustration just to refuse a refund rather than giving vouchers to sell the room on. Otherwise it was an okay stay, there are nicer hostels In the area if you have the budget, but Billabong Is clean and staff are friendly

We stayed there for the price, but it is noisy and filthy - mostly young broke people who live there. The staff at the desk was very nice and helpful. I didn't even bother with the free breakfast.
