“A good experience for a one night stay.”
+The location was good staff very friendly. Was my first experience in a backpacker's accommodation and it suited us for one night.
−The parking was an issue limited car parking. It would not be somewhere I would bring my wife or family to stay for a holiday. Not quite as clean presentable as it should be.

−Bedbug fumigation day prior notices, bad bug registers in the room. Misleading advertising photos. Didn't end up staying because of the bedbug situation and cleanliness of the venue. No response or refund from management when my partner enquired. If I had of gotten a refund which would of meant i Didn't pay for the experience i wouldn't of reviewed the stay

+Maxmee Resort is an amazing hostel! I had such a great time staying here as a backpacker. I met some wonderful people and made memories I’ll never forget from my Australian adventure. Thanks for being part of such a special experience. I’d definitely recommend it to other backpackers!

“1 star because I can’t give 0. This is by far the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. The hostel is behind a locked ga”

“Works as a last resort…”
+Staff (also backpackers fueled) are all very kind
−No spoons, no glasses, no mugs, no decent pan... The management should invest into some kitchenware eventually 100% backpackers, can get loud and lousy

“Never coming back”
+Room poorly locked, no privacy, and people who were not paying for accommodation were doing stuff on the bathroom, providing no safety for personal items or silence at all at 10pm and later on. I booked those days through Hostelworld. The hostel and the platform did not provide any refund or assistance when the problem showed up. If you want to feel minimally safe, and rest, you could find somewhere else, like I did.
−Staff/venue customer service.

“Great location and backpacker atmosphere, but the poor cleanliness and very outdated facilities made the stay disappoint”
+Great location, just 2 minutes from the beach. The atmosphere between backpackers was also really nice and made the stay more enjoyable.
−The property is very old and run-down. The rooms and sheets weren’t clean, there was mould in the bathrooms, the kitchen was dirty and smelly, and the mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. The facilities also need a serious update.

“Super recomendable”
+Me gustó mucho la vibra del sitio. Tanto la del staff, como de la propia gente, como del sitio. El sitio invita a relacionarte si quieres o tener tu espacio solo también. Está muy bien y es un hostel muy distinto.
−Si tuviera que decir algo, el material de cocina no es el mejor y luego en las habitaciones no hay muchos enchufes
