The showers and bathroom really dirty

The ease of everything - laidback

Stayed in November 2024

Staff weren't particularly friendly. They seemed like they were too cool to make us welcome, probably because we're the age of their parents. The bed was squeeky..

It was the cheapest we could find in town at short notice. We literally just needed somewhere to sleep.

Inconsiderate thumping excessively loud music playing until 4.30am. Not fair on people who travelled 8 hours & just wanted a descent sleep for our next 8 hour trip.

The vibe & the setup of the camp & accomodation.

The kitchen, not clean no space and no cutlery.

It is very relaxed hippie place. A lot of alternative young folks.

Bit noisier than normal but that is to be expected when busy. Was not a fan of the key being replaced by a phone app, especially due to my phone having charging difficulties at the time. You can get the room code from the app so it's best to write that down and not have to rely on technology

Standard Arts Factory experience, very friendly and chill place.

The staff went above and beyond to help us

The bathroom was extremely dirty, as for the kitchen which was not in good condition. It was also directly in the dorm, which caused a lot of noise especially in the morning. I’m glad I booked here, but I don’t think I could have stayed more than 3 nights because of these reasons.

The place is really special, with everything you would expect for a typical Byron Bay experience. The 10 beds female dorm is very well located and spacious.

Messy kitchen

Atmosphere

Stayed in August 2024

The kitchen is small and can become crowded and the plates, utensils and cookware provided are somewhat worn. The fridge had an unpleasant odor and the bathrooms which are cleaned once a day might not be as fresh in the evenings. A more thorough cleaning could improve the overall cleanliness. The mattresses and pillows appear to be quite old and could benefit from updating.

The hostel is in a perfect location, close to many shops and the main beach (5min drive, 15min walk) . It's charming and cozy, with artistic wall paintings and a lively atmosphere enhanced by singers and musicians. Music plays throughout the day and into the night. The entrance area features a hearth, sofas, and tables for hanging out, and there's also a coffee shop on-site. Outdoors, you’ll find workout space with equipments, a game ball net, and a peaceful breakfast table by the lake with beautiful views. Located in nature, the hostel offers a great way to connect with the surroundings.

There weren’t any lockers in the bedroom so nowhere to store our valuables. It was also a little bit of a walk into Byron bay.

Lovely atmosphere. Staff were very helpful, and luggage storage was available. Very spacious, well-equipped kitchen. Warm showers and good sized communal bathrooms. Very spacious room with a kitchenette inside.

The vibe!

The kitchen was disgusting and there was never enough cutlery or cooking equipment for everyone. The bathrooms were quite dirty as well.

This hostel is very lively and they organize quite a lot of diverse and fun activities. The place is very big and offers a lot of different spots to chill at.

Most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. No padding just sleeping on springs.

Beautiful place and location surrounded by nature.

The room was dirty and too small for 6 people plus all their luggage, the kitchen and eating area was perpetually dirty - usually a product of the guests more than the staff.

This place is what you imagine a hostel should be - a mix of gap year students and seasoned travellers. Plenty of socialising spaces indoor and out, great evening atmosphere.

To noisy only become quiet at 5 am woohoo

I think the.place Waa pretty good. But could sleep as it was too loud and noisy the bed was amazing . But once the noise stopped 345am the some one was cleaning up a.d smashing bottles in the bin. So yeah

I had a private room with my partner and for the money that we paid (similar prices to a hotel room) I would recommend to renew the mattresses. The springs of the mattress were literally poking in my stomach and back and it hurt. Lying in the bunk bed and looking up we were defintely looking at a lot of collected dust too. I know it is a hostel but when paying these prices I think these are points of consideration.

Obviously a very nice Byron Bay experience. It looks pretty cool and its nice that there is a swimmingpool and the lizzards chilling around. The coffee is great too!

No aircon in the room, wifi didn’t work in the room, kitchen was dirty, bit of a walk to the main centre of Byron Bay

Good sized room, lots of social activities in the day and evenings, lots of areas to chill, had its own cafe which was handy.

Bit out of the way compared to other hostels in Byron, so a bit of a walk into town. Unfortunately it rained a lot while I was there, my dorm was a teepee so incredibly damp and quite a bit of mold. Not their fault that the weather was bad but ridiculously expensive considering it is effectively camping. Teepe accommodation should definitely be cheaper than dorms, and people warned of the dampness if weather is bad Also a very large hostel with lots of people camping out back, so was some problems with stealing.

Awesome vibe, lots of people all super friendly and many social events on to choose from. Staff were incredible, super friendly and helpful and always seemed to be plenty of them around to help. Kitchen was cleaned regularly and facilities kept mostly tidy. Lovely nature-based hostel as not in town centre, surrounded by trees
