Budds In Surfers Backpackers, Gold Coast

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The atmosphere was generally lively with various events, and the pool area was lovely to relax in. However, the kitchen facilities were lacking, and the rooms were quite hot without air conditioning. While the staff were friendly, they weren't very knowledgeable about the local area, which was a bit disappointing.

I had a wonderful stay at Budds! The communal spaces are really inviting, with a beachy vibe that makes it feel homely. The staff, especially Kate, were incredible and always helpful. However, some amenities, like the kitchen utensils, could definitely use more variety. Overall, great value for the price, especially with breakfast included.

I had a pretty disappointing stay here, mainly due to the poor hygiene and condition of the facilities. Although the staff were decent and the location was great, the overall experience left much to be desired. The room itself was not comfortable and I struggled with the lack of cleanliness in common areas. It’s clear that changes are needed soon, as promised by the new owner, but as it stands, I cannot recommend this place.

My stay at this hostel was quite disappointing. While the location is fantastic, being close to the beach and shops, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The shared facilities were in dire need of attention, making the overall experience uncomfortable. Although the staff was friendly, the overall conditions made me regret my choice, despite the relatively low price.

I had a fantastic time at this hostel! The atmosphere was lively, and I really bonded with both the staff and fellow travelers during my week-long stay. The pricing was budget-friendly, especially with cheap drinks on offer, making it a great value for the experience. However, some amenities, especially the bathrooms, left much to be desired.
