Was a bit sceptical about staying here after reading the reviews that are on here but the people who wrote those bad reviews need to remember its a hostel not a 5star hotel. Stayed in mooloolaba for nearly 2 months and loved every minute of it. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach (at the end of the... More

I stayed here as I had a boating course to do near by. I choose the $70 private room because I wanted the privacy/goodnight of sleep and private ensuite. The room looked like a prison cell but hey, it's a hostel, so that didn't bother me. The cleanliness however was... Well.. There was none. The floor through the entire room... More

We arrived at Mooloolaba Beach Backpackers at night and the very unfriendly, unhelpful and unenthusiastic female staff behind the counter demanded photo id from both of us. I showed her my photo id and said that my partner only has other forms of id. The staff very rudely said we cannot be checked in and that we must leave. I... More

Went to pick fruit for three months, stayed for five. Hands down the best hostel on the east coast. Best five months in Aus. BY FAR the best place to do fruit picking. Great vibe in the hostel, plenty to do. Cant recommend the place highly enough. Definitely a place for backpackers that are partial to a drink or seven....

Atmosphere seemed okay however receptionist was far more interested in her skype date she was having then actually checking us in. For a... More

Stayed in the backpackers for 2 weeks during my first days of farm. Good location with busses and greyhound and close to the beach. Good service and always a good feeling in the air, . A very relaxed place to spend your days at with swimming pool and pool table if you don't want to go to any of the... More

I've been to many hostels Oz, but this hostel is sick!! Free breakfast, pool, clean rooms and the staff is young and very friendly! You get connected to different farms asap if you wanna do your farm work in oz. It's fun! ;)

The staff are very welcoming, and the place stays clean. I felt very much at home when hanging out in the common area due to the friendly people and staff. Keep up the good work. Love the free breakfast!

I stayed here for a couple of nights with some friends on our way down the coast. First thoughts were location is very handy as the coach stop (for the Greyhound and Premier) is right outside. The receptionist was friendly enough, and they managed to check us in at about 12.30. The outside and public area is ok, had some... More
