Good vibes, great people. 100% recommend. The set up is perfect for socializing and meeting new people. I would have extended my stay even longer if I hadn’t had my fraser tour pre booked.

The best hostel I visit so far. It’s mostly the whole vibe that makes it great. And the staff is great! Everybody is eating on the same tables in the middle and after that everyone is moving to the camp fire. The rooms are cosy and clean, the showers are warm and good en there is enough space to chill and relaxed alone or with the other travels you’ll definetly meet.

I felt immediately at home at the Cool Bananas, super laid back and only good vibes! Staff is super friendly and helpful and it's easy to get to know your fellow travelers around the fire pit at night. Such a nice place to stay at, I didn't want to leave! Thank you guys for making me feel so very comfortable and at home, you're legends!

“Cool place but amenities not as good for similar price range elsewhere ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
3 showers (almost no lights in the bathroom and could not realy get hot water but I understand that was fixed the next day) and 2 washing machine for the whole hotel, 1 dryer, not enough lines for everybody's wet laundry No AC, WiFi not working most of the time and mainly close to the reception (not functioning at all in the rooms) Breakfast is 2 slice of bread and some spread, the usual tea and heresy of instant coffee, but you need to pay for milk (which is also, kind of annoying but I could see why) After staying in about 6 different hostel in Queensland along the east coast, I feel the amenities do not keep up with those of other hostels in the same price range. This is my personal experience and I am sure other people will have a better one (plus it was particularly hot during my 2 nights stay). I'd say the hotel is correct overall, and does the job alright
Nice staff, great efforts to keep the place fun and welcoming (great surf lessons to) They keep all the doors open, no keys (but locks available) and it does work to create a more welcoming place Probably much nicer when the hostel is not full ! The idea of the riddles for the WiFi password is cute (but changing it twice a day is a bit annoying) They close the kitchen at night, making sure it's clean and, if you're in the room next to it, you can get some sleep early It was also very quiet which is super nice

The staff messed up my booking, they're not friendly or helpful. The kitchen is stated to close at 11pm but they want everyone to have finished cooking and cleaning my 9pm. The wifi is horrendous. Wasnt that clean.
The kitchen size was good.

Don't expect a flashy hostel, that's not what this place is about! But if you can get behind the laid-back atmosphere, you will love this hostel.
Loved loved loved the vibe of this hostel! Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, they actually let you into the rooms when you arrive at 6am with the greyhound and have breakfast already prepared for you, the dream! What I particularly loved about this hostel was the vibe of it! The long tables in the courtyard and the family no WiFi time meant that everyone sat round getting to know eachother, a win when you're travelling on your own. Would recommend this hostel 100 times over!

The other people who worked there were not so friendly. They were very asocial, very closed.
The owner was so friendly!! She’s amazing. It was cute that there was a riddle every day for the WiFi password and that between 6 and 8 pm there was no WiFi cause of ‘family time’. I recommend this hostel!

The stove is just a tiny tiny bit two narrow. But that’s everything!
The moment You arrive you just feel it: everyone is friendly and you’re in the family. I’ve been there only 2 nights and met maybe 10 people I will keep in contact with. The staff is laughing and joking all the time and the people who work there, are not all marked with clothes what gives everything a very family like attraction. In short: Small, Family like, clean, Social and a nice kitchen.

The Wi-Fi turn off for social time in the evening. when you are from Europe thay is a good time to contact family back home. They closed and cleaned the bathrooms in the morning at a time when people were trying to get ready for the day. The surfing man from one of the surf schools came and shouted to the whole hostel for anyone doing a lesson to get up at half 7 in the morning! Not cool as it woke those who weren't even surfing. A few things, felt a bit like I was back at school...
Location, friendly staff, good facilities, comfy common room area to chill. Good to have a shuttle pick up from bus stop.

I did not like Marleen. She was really unkind, unfriendly and if she would’ve act this way to guest in my country she would definitely been fired. That was the only thing why I would not go to Bananas anymore. Also the bathroom and toilet weren’t very clean
I liked the vibe. It was a nice comfy hostel and most of the young people working there were nice. I also liked the shuttle to the bus

To get the WiFi, you must answer a different riddle every night, thought the answers differed which made it very difficult and frustrating. Sometimes you would get the answer but would need to add 1770 or sometimes the answer would be a sentence which could be a range of combinations! Also, we were told the password would always have a capital at the beginning (after trying thousands of times) but then one night, the answer didn’t have a capital! Too much ordeal when all you want to do is talk to your mother and father. We weren’t told of the capital letter rule or the 1770 rule.
It was trustworthy.
