Port Douglas Backpackers Youth Hostel

The staff were super friendly and the whole place stayed spotlessly clean. I never had to worry about anything. It was a simple, hassle‑free stay.

The pool was great, lockers were handy, and the location was spot on. The staff were kind, but the kitchen was always a mess – dirty sinks, broken appliances, and no one seemed to clean up after the last guests. The rooms were cluttered with cans, clothes, linens, papers, and trash on the floor, plus the noise from late‑night parties and a hidden deposit for dishes.

The rooms were spacious and the location was convenient. Everything felt easy to get to, and the space was plenty. I didn’t have any major issues.

The place is in a good spot, but the overall cleanliness, especially in the kitchen, left a lot to be desired.

“I’d rather camp in a tent”

The hostel sits in a decent part of town and the pool area is okay, though a bit neglected – at least the gas stoves are a plus. The rest, however, was a nightmare: the kitchen sinks were always full of dirty water, the concrete floors looked like a warehouse, and the cleaning schedule barely kept up with the crowd. Sponges were only changed once a year, you had to rotate the single set of sockets for the kettle, microwave, and toaster, and the bathrooms smelled like a pub.
