I planned my trip with the help of a backpackers agency, so when I booked this hostel, I wasn't quite aware of the true nature of it. Upon my arrival, I was shocked to see the grounds. It is definitely a place for people that want to disappear from society and really enjoy nature. The building/room I was in wasn't... More

Very basic accommodation. It is located in a wetland area, I was in a canvas structure on an island. It was dirty and there was no security (except a small lock on the zipper entrance). There was mould on the canvas. (See the pictures.) It was noisy at night. No free WIFI and washing machines were $4 for wash and... More

A place for young people who likes party and dont care too much about the noise. It's quite ok compared to other hostels I stayed in Australia, it's reasonably clean but the tent I stayed didnt look much like with what I saw in the website by the time of booking. It's cheaper to eat in the city than in... More

I stayed here in a camper van and used everything there. Kitchen clean, bathroom clean, showers abit rubbish. $6 meal were vile but what to expect for that price. Great location. Friendly staff. Would stay a

I had booked my room for 7 days and paid half, with an agreement that I will pay for the other half later on. Due to some confusion with the dates, I was in Nimbin when the next instalment on my rent was due at 11am. I explained over the phone that I was in Nimbin and would return at... More

Byron bay - Arts factory Date of stay: 22/04/2013 - 01/04/2013 Dorm: 6 bed mixed / $25 per night Deposit: Passport or $20 Overall: 8/10 Arts factory was one of my favourite hostels to stay in, but I don't think it is for everyone. They have a very relaxed atmosphere which isn't for everyone. The hostel is based on 5... More

We have rented a Jucy camper van and stayed here with a special offer. We slept in the van on the car park like many others had done. The toilets and showers are very clean and the kitchen is surprisingly clean for the amount of people using it. What we did find was toy had to be in your 20's... More

We were older travellers and owing to the high cost in Australia stayed mostly in Hostels. We were at this venue over Xmas (what a mistake). We were charged(already most expensive hostel) in GBP rather than AUD. Our room was a cell. Music was played on Xmas afternoon at extremely high volume, we were scorned when we asked for it... More

I'm just being honest. If I'd wanted to camp, I'd have taken a tent and gone solo into the outback. I didn't though, and booking into this place turned out not to be a good idea. I love wildlife but I don't think the wildlife appreciated the screaming, midnight parties that went on every night. The place was dirty (and... More
