The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The area was often unclean. There are people walking in and out of the room throughout the evening; it was extremely hard to sleep well. The bathroom and shower area has a lot of grime; evidently have not been cleaned in a long time.

In overall I was happy with my stay. It's close to the beach, shops etc. I haven't given 5 stars just because where I was staying it was super noisy. I had a room on my own facing towards the cafe/reception area so it felt like I was hearing everything. Also the walkway outside my window had a sensor light on which was a bit uncomfortable when it was going on and off quite a bit. I was able to leave my bag for a bit after checking out which was super handy. There are upkeep works going which is great to see. No need to pay for a shuttle, the public transport works great. Look it up ;-)

Two words: BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS!!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! This property is well aware they have bed bugs yet do nothing to fix the problem. I woke up at 4am with acute itching (then could no longer sleep!) 48hours later I am still itching, with large red inflamed patches all over my body which will leave scars and a hugely swollen finger that is weeping at the bite mark and likely infected, meaning I am limited in the use of my hand and may have to see a doctor. Avoid this place if you value your health and safety. They also are offering a 'competition' incentive if you leave them a review, therefore I would not trust any favourable reviews.

The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach and main clubs. Majority of the staff were exceptional however there was one point where we were in our room ill and a cleaner came into our room ‘to clean’ and wouldn’t leave for a solid 5 minutes of us asking. The cleanliness of our room was also questionable with stains and dirt all over the floor but the overall atmosphere is really friendly

Backpackers in Paradise is definitely a budget option, but despite the efforts of the staff, the hostel has some major drawbacks. The cleanliness is poor, and the noise levels at night are unbearable. Most rooms face an inner courtyard that is constantly full of people, making it nearly impossible to sleep. The kitchen is infested with flies, which makes cooking quite unpleasant. I also had an issue where my food was mistakenly taken and placed in the “free food” section, but to be fair, they compensated me with $20. Additionally, the bunk beds are very unstable and move a lot, making it hard to get a proper rest. If you’re staying just for one night, it might be manageable, but for a longer stay, I’d recommend spending a bit more for a better-managed hostel.
