WiFi was the best WiFi I have had throughout my entire trip in Australia

Claire, Australia

The bed was really comfy for a hostel, the double was spacious and fit my friend and I with wiggle room. They have really nice sheets and a comforter which was more than we expected. The AC works! And well! The facilities, while shared were nice and clean. We didn't use the kitchen but the bathrooms were good! The staff were really nice about letting us in for breakfast even though we got in at 5am and didn't have our check-in until 2pm. They also let us store our bags before check-in so we could explore Cairns, super friendly as well.

Jessica, Australia

It was a really nice place to stay with great atmosphere! Really clean and with great facilities. The bar was really nice and we even saw a group playing there! The free breakfast was really tasty! The staff was super nice! Wifi worked everywhere and the location of the place was really convinient.

Carolina, Sweden

Good location Good atmosphere Great if you want to have a night out

Carys, United Kingdom

Friendly and helpful staff, free breakfast, nice parties! not too far from city centre Cairns

Christian, Germany

Arrived at the place after a red eye flight and were given our room immediately... at only 8.30am! Were so thankful for that, great start to our time in Queensland. Spacious communal areas and wonderful staff :)

Nessa, Ireland

I've been stopping off for many years while transiting back & forth to Port Moresby, PNG. It is difficult to truly explain just how special Calypso is... it just is. The welcoming atmosphere and embracing culture of Calypso, which is exemplified by their exceptional staff, make this more than a place to stay... it is a place that makes you feel that you belong, if only for a short time. I, like many others, am disturbed that new owners are about to take over this legendary Inn... and can only hope that they do absolutely nothing to change the Calypso.

Marcus, Australia

The staff were amazing. The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in

Georgina, United Kingdom

We only stayed here for one night but the place had a good bar, pool table and swimming pool. They have a van that can take you to/from the airport although watch out for what time they stop as our flight was originally on time and due to a delay they then said their bus has stopped and we had to get a taxi. Staff are friendly and you can book tours from the reception.

Chloe, United Kingdom

Shuttle into city and to the Airport was nice - rooms and bathrooms were very clean

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

      • • Group of friends
      • • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
      • • Stayed 4 nights

      눉We were 4 friends who booked a room for the 4 of us. We wanted our privacy and payed extra for that. Yet, the last day of our stay they had moved our stuff off our beds without letting us know because they put two people in our room. Not only they did not do anything to make up for their mistake, but the way they spoke to us was not very professional. Also, they claimed to have free pickup from the airport and free pizza on Thursdays, but none of that was really true. They made up for the pizza false advertising by giving us a voucher to eat pizza in their other hostel.

      “Surprisingly quiet and comfortable for a hostel!”

      눇The bed was really comfy for a hostel, the double was spacious and fit my friend and I with wiggle room. They have really nice sheets and a comforter which was more than we expected. The AC works! And well! The facilities, while shared were nice and clean. We didn't use the kitchen but the bathrooms were good! The staff were really nice about letting us in for breakfast even though we got in at 5am and didn't have our check-in until 2pm. They also let us store our bags before check-in so we could explore Cairns, super friendly as well.

      눉It was really good! They don't have the pick up service from the airport anymore but they have buses to the center every hour (otherwise it is a 25 minutes walk)

      눇It was a really nice place to stay with great atmosphere! Really clean and with great facilities. The bar was really nice and we even saw a group playing there! The free breakfast was really tasty! The staff was super nice! Wifi worked everywhere and the location of the place was really convinient.

      눇Arrived at the place after a red eye flight and were given our room immediately... at only 8.30am! Were so thankful for that, great start to our time in Queensland. Spacious communal areas and wonderful staff :)

      “Special”
      • • Solo traveler
      • • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
      • • Stayed 2 nights

      눇I've been stopping off for many years while transiting back & forth to Port Moresby, PNG. It is difficult to truly explain just how special Calypso is... it just is. The welcoming atmosphere and embracing culture of Calypso, which is exemplified by their exceptional staff, make this more than a place to stay... it is a place that makes you feel that you belong, if only for a short time. I, like many others, am disturbed that new owners are about to take over this legendary Inn... and can only hope that they do absolutely nothing to change the Calypso.

      눉Rooms were dated and bedding super uncomfortable but I think that was down to personal taste. It’s very basic and if that’s what you’re looking for then it’s perfect.

      눇We only stayed here for one night but the place had a good bar, pool table and swimming pool. They have a van that can take you to/from the airport although watch out for what time they stop as our flight was originally on time and due to a delay they then said their bus has stopped and we had to get a taxi. Staff are friendly and you can book tours from the reception.
