Location Great. Right by the beach, and when the sun is out the place is a perfect location. Recommend early morning/late evening run or walk along the beach but during winter months it does get dark quite early. The hostel was poor on most levels - poor welcoming from staff. Rooms very basic, which would be obvious given the type... More

The staff are very friendly, don't get me wrong, but not very helpful. The showers weren't very clean. The backpackers here were rude. They say free breakfast, but the breakfast is cheap and gross. All you get is dry cereal, and you have to pay for the milk! The sheets were gross. The private rooms still have bunk beds, and... More

If you are planning a trip to Bondi then please, do not stay at Bondi backpackers. My boyfriend and I have stayed at a number of hostels and I can honestly say the week I spent camping on the beach and showering in the ocean was more delightful than this dump. As it was Mardi gra weekend in Sydney, accommodation... More

This is the worst hostel I stayed in untill now and I have stayed in quite a few. It was unsafe. Someone got robed the day before I came there. Also in the middle of the night I woke up because someone banged on the door of my room. It was quite scary! You have to pay for your sheet!!... More

Bed bugs - needless to say more. Most disgusting place we've ever stayed at. You're better off sleeping in the street. Stay as far away as you can. Nothing is included, you even have to pay extra for top sheets. Bathrooms are totally gross. STAY AWAY

I can not emphasis enough how horrible my stay was at Bondi Backpackers!!!!!!!!! I can get past dirty rooms, no linen being provided and a horrible smell throughout the hostel. What I cant understand is possibly the most rudest, obnoxious, lady we came across behind reception desk. I have honestly never been spoken to with such disrespect and hate. Shame... More

My plan was to stay here for 4 nights only and ended up staying 4 months. I loved this hostel and it became like a little home. Met so many amazing people whilst staying there. It may not be the cleanest of hostels but for me it was the best 4 months I spent in oz. It is a great... More

The worst and most disgusting place we ever stayed in our life. The twin room with bunk bed smelled so bad that we got sick. Also after applying tons of air-freshener it got not better. The carpet was kind of not existing anymore and everything else in the room was dingy. Staff was very unfriendly. We were only told at... More

This is by far the worst Hostel I have ever seen. It is filthy overpriced dingy absoultely disgusting. Even if they did not give me my money back i would not have stayed here i would rather sleep on the beach. They need to get a grip. Reception staff are ignorant also!! Honestly worst place ever!! Double rooms are filthy... More
