Bus Stop Backpackers

Worst place ever!
This is the worst place I've been to so far. the owner is the biggest dighead I met in Australia. The only thing he cares about is to get as much money as possible (from you!). Therefore he even does a lot of illegal things! Do yourself a favour and don't stay at this place (dirty, smelly, disgusting).

Great
I stayed here for six months and had a great time. the owners are great and really look after you! Fruit picking isnt fun but you can have a good time here. well advise to go. good experience!

Ok
Ok hostel, but air conditioning only working between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. is a joke. when you spend twelve hours working in 30-degree-plus heat, one would like to come home to a cool room, especially since there is no windows in room! cleaner is a bit of a fascist, always barging into room threatening people. Lack of work when i stayed there due to the rain. Rent was expensive, $150 a week in dorm room, especially if you worked two days per week meant you saved no money.

Very very bad
The worst hostel in Bundi. the owner is a bad man he tries to make money for everything. during my two-week stay, approximately ten people were kicked out for reason like have alcohol in the room (not even drinking), don't get up for work, and no refund and loss key deposit (which is $50!). be warned. There are other nice backpacker there.

Could be so good but is so very bad!
I'd been warned about this hostel form the start and wasn't keen on going -- i regret staying there now! The rent has inexplicably gone up from $130 to $160 a week in the past few months and the new owner doesnt seem to have done much to warrant the increase! Half of the hostel was being fumigated for bedbugs whilst most people probably took them over to the other side! The owner changes his personality for the tiniest thing -- he seems like a nice guy but is happy to screw you over at any chance. I was kicked out for drinking in the hostel. (This isn't allowed and i was outside the building but still.) It bemuses me as i was one of about thirty people drinking that night and no one else was asked to leave. I was told i had been making my own rules by not working (i had been sick for two days!). The rooms may be air conditioned but it's only for a few hours a day, the DVD library does not exist, and in the short time i was there work was not readily available! I would strongly advise against staying here - there are much nice places in Bundaberg!

I stayed here for four months and it was the best place i've stayed in all over australia. emma was always friendly, sue was nice as long as you were willing to work. it was ideal as long as you're not out to booze up all the time, and save money. the place was always clean, and the people there were more than fantastic.

Yeah I must say the Hostel I stayed in was rough around the edges but hey I'd much prefer a nice comfortable bed to park my arse after a nice long hard day's work on a comfortable bed with air conditioning then the street bench or the back of a car. The whole experience of backpacking for me I thought is to travel and experience both good and bad, to say the Bus Stop Hostel is crud or a waste of space is well, all I can say is no one has forced you to stay! I had a great time because I made what I had an awesome experience particularly when I met this beautiful Welsh girl named Kate and of course it helps if you find that someone you enjoy being with. So stop complaining and yeah what's that expression? It's what you do is what makes everything so well worth it.

This is the worst hostel i have ever stayed in, seriously. It's like a prison, none of the corridors have windows, there are only a few rooms with windows and they have bars on! It's hot and stuffy everywhere but there is air con in the room. We worked here for one week in a farm and the owner is such a bitch, we asked to leave work and she kicked us out the hostel straight away and hasn't paid us.

This place is terrible. The mangager is a huge bitch. They try to charge you for everything. The hostel is right beside the bus station and there are 3 am arrivals every night. We arrived at 3 am so we put our bags into their tv room, and went to explore the town. When we came back we discovered that they had put our bags in storage. They then tried charging us us $20. It is also a very dirty place. There was puke on the floor and you couldent walk anywhere in there without shoes. This is the worst hostel i've ever stayed in. BE WARNED!!!!!!!
