Bendigo Backpackers

The owner needs to learn how to take criticism and understand its used to improve quality of their service. Not be a stuck up ass about it... clearly they need to go through their place and use this income to improve multiple things. I get it's a backpackers, and I've been to many for travelling aus but cutting corners and then being rude to genuine criticism is ridiculous. Much rather roll out my swag and sleep by the road then stay here again! Honestly disgusted by the response you receive. Especially when their comments are in a private chat from booking services. Don't worry though. There's a way nicer backpackers down the road, would gladly recommend any other one than to stay here again. -4/10 😑

I had the pleasure of a weekend stay at Bendigo Backpackers with my family. What a fantastic location!! The rooms were clean, with super comfy beds. Check in although contactless was easy, the accommodation was extremely clean, and lived up to the pictures on their website. Overall a great value, and very enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back.

The room was very spacious and one of the loveliest backpackers we have ever stayed in. The bed were comfortable, lots of room to make ourselves at home. Centrally located which is a great bonus, great value for money accommodation, great amenities and easy and straightforward to check-in. Have already book in again in a few months time.

Great clean and quiet place to stay, walking distance to the centre. My room was clean, warm and spacious, bed comfy, wifi working and with access to outside seating area. Kitchen was immaculately clean and lounge area looked comfortable although I didn't have time to enjoy it. Number of toilets and showers were adequate with no need to wait in line. It was very quiet when I was there, although you could easily hear others in the kitchen/living area. Great value and a view of the cathedral from the porch.

I stayed here for two nights while working in Bendigo and simply couldn’t have picked a better place to rest my head! Access was very logical and meant the manager didn’t have to give me access when I arrived fairly late on my first night. My room was really well furnished, clean and comfortable, especially the bed. It’s in a quiet location considering it is very close to the CBD (5 minute walk) and I will definitely use Bendigo BackPackers again. Thank you!

I'm well over 6 foot and came across a few issues within the shower, not to mention the rusted bar to hang the privacy sheet for the shower, the shower head didn't have a lot of presure which lead me to stand against the shower wall and the shower head pointing fairly high... then water leaked everywhere and only having one towel each, would of been nice to at least have an extra. And the coffee is the worst I've ever had for instant coffee... Whilst us being next to the shower room and toilet, loved finding no air freashener around so we got to enjoy the amazing smell from another backpacker taking a 2... Apart from those slight issues, it was a really good place to stay as you're passing through. Got confirmation and all the required info instantly and was happy overall with our stay. *Edit* Extremely disrespectful on honest reviews giving my partner a horrible message. Horrible customer service if you disagree with something... the shower by the first rooms has rust on the top bar... I can't be bothered going further with this but really disappointed in how it was handled!

Friendly environment and good menace from the owner. The room is big enough for a couple, very clean, quiet place and easy to walk down the city centre. Parking spot at the front and by the look on the street it’s very safe. Highly recommended, the bed was comfy. No air conditioning but they have a wall fun that does help a little bit. During the day the room can be hot if it’s hot outside but was cool over night. Thank you
