    Very noisy as the rooms are facing the hostel bar, which is the "party bar" in town. Even when the bar does close, very poor soundproofing.

    Great outdoor space, perfect to have a chat in the sun, exercise or even have some privacy.

    It's pretty far away from the main street but that's ok The facilities need some maintenance - old showers & toilets, some sinks didn't have a good water pressure

    The beds and blankets were so comfortable - so good after a long day, really quiet although it's close to their club & also a great party place. Activities every night I did the kgari tour with them which was also really good and organized

    The bathroom of the room was not in good conditions. It was clean but we would have liked a door in the shower because of privacy and to avoid bothering the other people of the room.

    I love the location of the place and the warm and kind attitude of the staff.

    When I stayed in a shared room for 8 people. There was one old man, 62 years old, drunk and peed in the room on a suitcase, one of the guests, at 1:15 in the morning. What a terrible experience.

    The location, it's very close to the beach

    Our room (number 1) picked up noise from outside really badly so it was loud until around 2am with people talking and music. Due the how the shower are and bathroom were made with mesh grills to allow steam out you couldn’t shut a window to dampen the noise.

    The private room was great, really spacious and it was nice that the shower was separate from the bathroom. Also having a tv that had the ability to log into Netflix or Prime was really nice. The outside shared areas were great and spacious and it never felt “full”. Location was fantastic and a quick 5 minute walk from the greyhound bus. Everything was spotlessly clean in our room and bathroom and we REALLY appreciated having 2 pillows each for the double bed (a rarity in hostels we’ve found).

    Staff were indifferent, cleaning staff always wearing airpods and disengaged from their surroundings, no-one greeted automatically or smiled. Receptionist on check in could not understand me, she said she was German and English was her 2nd language, I own a hostel and 80% of our guests are foreign with English as there 2nd language, and I have not had that issue with anyone else. Perhaps you should screen your backpacker staff a little better (I am Australian by the way and English is my 1st language). Lack of any signage (except what was happening each night in the bar) was a negative. We found the kitchen on day 2, on disco bingo night we were on the deck waiting for the bar door to open, no signs indicating that entry was only from front door. Staff also did not mention this at all, just assuming that we knew this, was irritating to see people were inside and back bar door not opening. Guests drinking from their vehicle late at night, no glass in windows of the rooms, having to listen to lame drinking stories from 18 year old males and the sound of the sliding door of their vehicle opening and closing each time they had a drink was annoying at midnight. Security could be better to ensure this did not happen. No obvious sign of Management, only backpacker staff.

    The room was spacious and clean, showers were hot, liked the fact that there was a fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Also towels and soap etc were provided, but this was not mentioned when we booked. Well located from the small shopping street with restaurants etc. Good walking distance to Noosa main beach and facilities. Communal kitchen was spacious and I thought very clean considering the number of people using it, cutlery and crockery was ample and well set out.

    The room was very humid, making it impossible to dry. The bar/ club attached to the hostel wasnt a part of the hostel meaning that you had to queue and pay to get in like all other visitors

    It was in a good location and the outside common area was really nice!

    The WiFi is shocking, especially in the dorm rooms on the bar/restaurant side, unusable it cuts off every 5 mins. But on the reception side in the private quadruple room the WiFi was much better, WiFi is not good in Noosa in general bear in mind

    We stayed in the dormitory room and private quadruple room. The dorm was very nice, lockers, and air conditioning, and a big fan. We got a bit cold as couldn’t turn the air con off didn’t have a remote. Dorms are fine and much nicer than others I have stayed in. Cool vibe in the hostel, great pool, volleyball net, and a restaurant for burgers and a bar.!! Had shops a walk away. Beach there is a free Noosa bus on weekends and holidays to the main beach, or you have to walk. Quadruple private room was sooo nice and had a fridge, nice shower, everything. Nomads Noosa is a budget accommodation. It is a party hostel but the noise didn’t bother us

    The staff are strange, patronise you as adults, telling you how to flush the chain and to stop the taps. A bit weird. Just rude as well, when I arrived the fan wasn’t working. The portable fan was rusty and dirty. The bathrooms were filthy and just didn’t feel clean. Surely the manager Andrew can afford air conditioning when he is charging £40 for a single bunkbed per night. Seems expensive, also the singles are like doubles so we as a couple could have easily shared a bed and paid half the amount

    Amazing location and couple minute walk to the beach, beautiful

    It was soo expensive when we stayed there. We paid 60€ per night and I don't feel like this price was justified at all. It had everything it needed, but nothing more and I've stayed in far better hostels in Australia for half the price. It wasn't particularly clean, or had a lot of privacy or a really good location - nothing that would have justified the price to be honest.

    The music they played in the eating area was good, and they had ensuite bathrooms and communal toilets as well.
