5 Brilliant! A perfect hostel in a perfect place. A relaxing and easygoing vibe throughout the hostel. i found the rooms really good as there were several apartments with their own communal living rooms and kitchens. The staff were friendly and helpful, very willing to offer advice and things to do in the area. Around the corner from the best beach in Noosa, Sunshine beach, and the national park. I couldn't have asked for more! I would definitely recommend Dolphins Beach House to all travelers.
Comment by Too far from town

2 Rooms were pretty cramped, and the bathrooms and kitchens aren't that nice. But the worst thing is that you are so far from town and you have to rely on their taxi van which sucks! My stay was also worsened by the fact it rained the whole time so it was pretty boring hanging at this hostel for three days!

5 I stayed at Dolphins for three nights and really liked it. It's clean, the facilities are good, the staff is very friendly, and there is a courtesy bus that goes into Noosa Heads. It's one of the best hostels I've stayed in so far. There are a lot nice sitting spaces outside where they put candles at night.

5 This hostel is really one of the best ones I've been during my trip in Australia. The staff must have changed, because now they are really friendly and they try to do everything for you, because they care about you and want you to have a good time. It's really close to the Sunshine beach, which is a really good beach. It's true, the hostel is a bit far from the centre, but that's why they offer a free bus every hour. Outside they have a nice chillout area where you can just relax. Noosa itself is such a good place I definitely love it! If you want to have a good time, stay in Dolphins!

5 I believe this is one of the best hostels in Australia. Although the hostel is about a five-minute drive away from Noosa Heads, there is a free bus that runs in and out of the transit center with drop-offs in the Junction for a supermarket stop. Plus Dolphins is the closest hostel to Sunshine Beach, which is by far the best beach in Noosa. I found the hostel to be very clean and the staff really friendly and helpful. The way the hostel is laid out is what attracted me to stay. There are six units that have two dorms (one four-bed, one five-bed) so nine people all share a unit with a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. So it's like having your own flat and it's easy to meet other travelers! So I say stay here and make your own minds up or you'll miss out!

2 YUCK! The staff was horrible! And this was awhile ago and I see nothing has changed! It was clean enough I guess and handy for the beach and the hammocks are fun (unless you break them). But it came down to the cramped, ugly dorms and beds and the staff who partied all night and kept everyone else awake! You couldn't even complain. The place was also FAR from town. I've seen worse but I've never had to deal with staff like this!

3 This place was far from the worst I've come across, but it was not very clean. I wouldn't want to stay here again. The staff are not very friendly.
