Base Backpackers Airlie Beach recensioner

Staff were really helpful, room was really clean and really big. Coffee, tea and milk in the room which is a nice touch

Hostel location is in Airlie Beach center, near from the Saturday market, 1 km from Greyhound bus terminal and 1 km from yacht cruise terminal, near to supermarket Woolworths. The reception is quite friendly. Lots of people arriving with their cars and camping vans, couples, young party goers. The garden is green, with birds, flyless birds etc. You can hear well in the night the sounds of insects and birds. The room conditions are basic and primitive, ceiling with moisture, leaking water taps, no rubbish bib in the bathroom. Rooms need repair work

Curtains didn’t cover the window and were broken hanging down. Lots of cobwebs and small spiders in the room and bathroom. And the walls are sooo thin! We stayed for 2 nights and it is in a good location.

Large sized double room, not overly clean though. Someone's else's hair was all over the floor which grossed me out. The hostel is in a very handy location for town and is good for parking too, as airlie gets very busy so hard to find street parking. Staff were friendly on arrival. Have stayed before so knew what I was expecting. Did what it said on the tin.

Great location and our private room was huge. We also enjoyed having the pool all to ourselves. Would definitely stay again.

チェックインの時間が3時からで、他と比べてしまうと少し遅めではありますが、荷物は早めに預かってもらえるので、その間に街を散策したり有効に使えます。敷地はとても広くて、キッチン、プールもあります。街の中心にあるので、出れば色んなお店が並ぶ通りに面してます。多くのツアーのピックアップもしてくれると思うので、その点も良かったです。

War gut

Het was een perfecte te locatie. De kamer was heel basic maar prima voor een nacht.

酒店的位置很好，浮潛的行程都是在這裏接的

Worse hostel I’ve ever booked in Aus or Europe. I booked a private for 3 nights. I couldn’t stay and left immediately. Loose stairs, torn curtains, pealing paint, only a bed sheet and no blanket and this was not the worst of it. I arrived to all the windows open, but still the room stunk I assume from deodoriser trying to cover up cigarettes and dampness. The worse was the cockroach droppings on the floor in the kitchen and alongside the bed. It gave me an asthma attack in under an hour. It was clean the floor hadn’t been swept in along time. I was just shocked when I arrive, took photos like a crime scene and frantically booked hotel in town. I didn’t last more than hour in the place. I’ve seen other feedback and their responses online so clearly they are aware of the issue but failing to bother to correct it. The excuses they give about a tropical climate is rubbish. I’d stayed the week before at Magnums backpackers which was immaculate as well as a hotel two mins walk away a no issues what so ever.

Thank god I was only here for one night. Worst hostel experience of my life. The rooms were dingy and depressing, with uncomfortable and creaky beds. It was also freezing in the night, even without the AC, and we had nothing but very thin sheets. The bathroom was filthy and flooded. It didn’t feel safe as a group of young female travellers. The wifi didnt reach the rooms so you couldn’t even get a sense of escapism from your vile surroundings unless you want to stand outside reception. Would never stay here again!

I see here on the reviews it is very mixed, I normally stay in motels so thought would try something different.I found the place very clean and tidy had a private room was quiet, the place in general looked clean and tidy found the girls at desk very helpful, had dinner out the front and the food was pretty good. Would stay there again

Jake the night manager was extremely professional and made the whole vibe of the place awesome, all the crew there is the best but props to Jake, really clean, nice place to chill out, cheap drinks, local to everything

In all of my experiences of travelling, I’ve never come across a more unclean and uninviting backpackers. On first impression the reception area looks fine, but beyond that you start to see how unclean and dirty everything is. Walking up to our private room we noticed piles of leaves everywhere, dried up palm leaves blocking the path way, rubbish piled up in random spots and a shed full of old mattresses and random dirty furniture. The outside of the rooms themselves are run down, dirty and falling apart and the inside of the rooms are just down right gross! The walls and doors had weird brown and black stains/marks everywhere, there were dead bugs in the bathroom and kitchen and the floor was definitely not clean. We had to keep the aircon on because it was 30+ degrees but who knows what we were breathing in as the unit/filter was disgusting. I never leave reviews but I had to for this one because it was the worst backpackers I’ve ever stayed in.. and I’ve stayed in 50+ around the world. The entire grounds, rooms, amenities etc. desperately need an upgrade and cleanliness must be maintained. It was really disappointing having to come back to a dirty, uncomfortable room after great days out on the water and seeing the town. I really hope management sees this and actually does something about it, as I can see many other similar reviews. I definitely won’t be back!
