The hostel is nice and clean, dorms are spacious and they all have a toilet. Beds are comfy, bedsheets are clean, pool area is nice and it’s overall a nice place. Staff is also kind and friendly. Location is very convenient. The bus stop is just opposite the hostel, supermarket is 2 minutes walking and the city center is a 20 mins walk. It also has a parking. It was overall a nice stay.

The kitchen should be repaired as of all the stoves just a few work and when everyone is cooking is quite annoying. Equipment to cook should also be regularly changed (but in the end you can always buy your cheap 5$ pans at Kmart). Personal suggestion: dividing the stoves for vegetarians/vegans would be great

- good location, there’s a great street full of cafes/restaurants just up the road from the property aswell as a large Woolworths. You can catch the 950 bus right outside and take a 10 minute ride into the city centre. - loved the pool area to sit out in in the morning/ evening - we enjoyed using the pool table and loved the area for travellers to leave/take unwanted items.

The door to the terrace in our room didn’t completely close at the bottom so we had lots of moths and such in our room each night. The kitchen closes at 10 each night so we felt a little rushed to get back in order to make dinner.

Billabong Backpackers is located close to the city on a major frequent bus route and very close to cafes, restaurants and bars. The room was a good size and clean even if it was a bit run down and dated. The bed was surprisingly comfortable as I expected a lot worse!! The facilities are great and had everything you need for a good stay.

The pool area is one of the areas that smoking is permitted which made the area difficult to enjoy. House rules about areas where alcohol is not allowed are not enforced. I don't think the younger crowd were used to an older person hanging out there but it was still a good stay.

I liked the free breakfast which was a choice of cereals and toast. The reception was open 24/7 which made it easier to check in and out. The property was located by a bus stop with a 15 minute walk to East Perth train station (access train to and from airport) and close to the city. The rooms were a reasonable size with a private bathroom.

Free WiFi was limited to the common areas on the ground floor so hard to use in your room. The bed was not perfect and could have had curtains for privacy.

- good sized private room - pretty clean. Bed was comfortable to sleep in - we were tucked away at the end of the corridor facing the car park so it was quiet - fair, strict rules about noise so you got a good night’s sleep - breakfast - big communal area - staff were helpful - car parking

- carpet in room needs a thorough clean - the noise of some guests/long term tenants was too loud at times. Remember to be respectful of others! - bit further away from the city centre, but we don’t mind walking and there were public buses outside the hostel and a free bus service a bit further down the road

All the areas are spacious enough as well as cleaned and tidied . I didn't use the laundry service because I didn't now about that, but I think it is an excellent option if you don't bring many clothes for travelling lighter. The location is fantastic quite close to public transport and the supermarket. The receptionist are very king and collaborative.

The fabric of just one of the sheets (the pink one)was not very fresh to sleep, it had fluff and looked like very old.

Easy check in/check out - 24h reception if arriving late. Pool area is closed at 11pm so the noise from outside is terminated at 11, no noise issues after this time. But there is still space inside to relax after 11. Around 15-20 min walk to Perth Central Station. Trains in each direction from there I.e to Airport, Fremantle, etc. 5-10min bus from hostel to Perth Central Station also if you wish. 10-15 min walk to Northbridge area with loads of food options

Place could have been cleaner

The location was very good. The use of the kitchen was also very useful. The staff was nice. The room had a balcony and a nice view until the smokers and loud people started hanging out.

Noisy. I would advise people to book the street side. There is so much noise from the parking lot and pool. One day a very loud party of very loud people went on from noon until 11 pm. Almost every night we were woken up by loud people talking in the hallway at 3 am and even 5 am. I am not sure why there were so many inconsiderate people staying there.

It's a very well located hostel, despite the number of people staying there it's quiet. You have a private bathroom in the room. Breakfast is included and really very good.

unfortunately some travelers here have been there for a long time so it's difficult to integrate (this is not the hostel's fault but important to know). In addition some travelers who have lived there for a while, work for the hostel and are not pleasant. But the rest of the staff is so nice. And the room was not washed every day just changed the trash.

Very good hostel! Staff was nice, room was clean and comfortable, 15 minutes walking from CBD or just 4 bus stops (the bus is in front of the building). A nice swimming pool area to chat with other people or just to chill

The kitchen is always crowded and not very clean. There were mostly long-term residents (90% Italian and French) so it’s difficult to meet people for travelers that only stay for 4-5 nights
