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.

1st we had to wait by their check in for approximately 45 minutes because the staff member decided she needed a break and just disappeared. 2nd all though the room was clean it was rather run down. Eg. Some lights didn’t work. Plug in vanity jammed so water couldn’t drain away. On a positive note the bed was very comfortable. 3rd. They have permanent residence living there. At 1.30 am Saturday night were fighting with other guests at the top of their lungs and throwing wheelie bins around the court yard. I would not recommend this place to anyone and won’t be booking with them ever again.

Pretty basic accommodation- you get what you pay for. It's great for young people who want to meet other young people from around the world. There's some opportunities to pay for accommodation by working in housekeeping. Good location - 10mins from the beach and all the amenities. There's a fully licensed bar, a swimming pool, fully kitted kitchen, and laundry facilities. Highly recommended if you want somewhere affordable to stay in Surfer's Paradise.
