Port Douglas Backpackers

I had the pleasure of staying for two weeks at this amazing hostel in Port Douglas, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The people at the hostel are very outgoing, which creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere. The reception girls are super attentive and always ready to help with anything you need, from local tips to organizing group activities. The social vibe is definitely one of the highlights of this place. There are always plans organized to enjoy the best activities in the area, and you have plenty of opportunities to make new friends. Additionally, the hostel has a common area where you can relax, watch a movie, or just hang out on the sofa with other travelers. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and fun stay in Port Douglas.

I have backpacked all around the world and this is one of the dirtiest places I have ever stayed. There were only 3 showers and toilets for a whole level of people, the floor was filthy. The kitchens were dirty with food scraps and rubbish, with overfilled fridges and spaces. There were not enough plugs in the rooms to charge devices. Dorms were crowded and all my things were moved after my first night, I assume due to overbooking. There is black mould on the roof of the rooms. The swimming pool was disgusting with leaves and a layer of oil/ dirt on the top. Would definitely not get in. The staff at reception were nice, but they obviously need to employ some cleaners to maintain the accomodation.

I have been staying here for 2 month and I really recommended. It’s very well located, it’s clean, you can sleep properly without party, staff are very friendly and guest too. Good vibe everyday.

I had a very nice experience at Backpackers Hostel. Very clean, comfortable, and friendly. The staff was always kind and helpful, especially Paola, who was very professional.

Definitely one of the best hostel where I've never been in Port Douglas, the service is so good and the rooms are spacious and clean.

Location is perfect, the reception girls are very friendly and helpful. However, if you’re looking for a short term social stay avoid! Most of the other visitors live in the hostel and aren’t very welcoming. Bathroom and kitchen were a bit gross but the staff were cleaning a lot.

I had a great 2-night-stay as a solo traveller at Port Douglas Backpackers. Great location, in the center of Port Douglas. I was just visiting but as I know many people do their 88 days there, there's a gym in there, that seemed to have lots of weights and mats which I think is nice. Only down, the bathrooms could be better! Overall a great stay, I really recommend

This was one of the best hostels in Australia I have been to. The hostel feels very spacious and it is in a very good location, everything is within walking distance. The staff are very helpful and everyone is very friendly. I was only meant to stay 3 nights however ended up extending this to a week. Would definitely recommend this hostel.
