Hostel Base Airlie Beach Resort

336 Shute Harbour Road, 4802 Airlie Beach, Australia –

Worst place ever. I pay for a room with 4 girls and there was 2 girls and 2 boy.. nothing clean and the pictures are SO DIFFERENT in compare to reality

Maria, Chile

The location is great. The staff was nice and helpful. The room was big.

Laura, Argentina

Staff are helpful and freindly. Behavior of gets is well supervised. No excessive noise or partying at nice around cabins. Room was clean even if old and in need of some repair.

Brian, Australia

Loved how it was right in the center of everything, it had 2 bars and many more in town, one bar had meal deal for $16 which is pretty good if your on a budget

Ryan, United Kingdom

The room was big and clean. It had TV and a nice view on the pool and resort. It’s great for young couples or young travelers. Close to the lagoon of Arlie beach and to the restaurant and store.

Julie, United States of America

Awesome location! Right at the end of the busy bars and was quite at night where we were

Stephanie, Canada

Staff were nice, they have a travel booking office in the lobby.

Frans, Netherlands

There was a hot water leaking in the toilet during my stay and no one fixed it! That was such a waste of water

Cassio, Australia

It was good location. Mostly quiet during people sleep. You can check in online in advance.

“Okay stay in Airlie”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Single Bed in Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Cold showers always. Bathroom in our room was not very clean. Staff at reception was at times very unhelpful and dismissive - had trouble checking in for our second night there after the Whitsundays as were not told how to check in on the iPads and the staff member was very dismissive of us and wouldn’t help unless we specifically asked questions. When trying to buy washing powder a female staff member spent 15 minutes trying to find our booking even though we told her our room number and showed her we had a key for it.
Really good location. Good bar on site (Shed Bar). We’re able to leave our luggage there while we did the Whitsundays for two nights.

The room gave a cold atmosphere. Kitchen and showers were dirty and the hostel is just overall very noisy. Overpriced for such a low quality service, especially in Australia. You would at least expect to have presure to shower but turns out it was to much to ask.

Aircon/heating unit in room broken - we were freezing with a single sheet only on the bed. One bed had no sheet at all. No staff available after 10pm to help us. Shower was leaking and had terrible power. Kitchen pretty grubby and lacking utensils. Staff were friendly though

“an OK stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
See above
The stay was ok! the rooms are in little houses spread out behind the reception. It can be a bit of a walk and easy to get lost as the signage wasn't visible every where. The room/ bathroom we clean but the AC was super dirty so definitely needs a cleaning! There was a massive party on Sunday and you could hear the music till very late so if you aren't a party type, I suggest you avoid staying there on Sunday ;-) Kitchen was big and you could find most of the basics there, but there was also a mouse running around and I could see some of my food was eaten/ bitten into.

I did not like the slow wifi and that there was only wifi at the reception. The cleanliness in the rooms, kitchen and public toilets could be better. The curtains inside the rooms were mostly broken and the bathroom fixtures were very loose. There were holes in my bedding sheets. The key code wouldn’t work on my phone so I had to remember and put it in manually. Each time I extended my stay, there was a new code of 7 digits.
I liked the location of the hostel, the separate bungalow houses for dorm rooms and the pools with the hammocks. The staff is friendly too and I liked the washing machine facility.
