Was a bit apprehensive booking this after reading a lot of bad reviews about the cleanliness, however my room was perfectly clean. It’s very basic and definitely a bit tired but is pretty much what I’d expect for the price and type of accommodation. Shower was very bad though, at some points just big drops of water. Events at Boaty’s made for fun evenings and good food there too, although due to the size / setup doesn’t lend itself so easily to solo travellers meeting people apart from in the dorms / if you’re already coming with others.

Our room was terrible, broken window with wood over it, broken door lock, mold and asbestos warning labels. This is a cheap back pack hotel and not a resort-look elsewhere in town.

This is not a motel or resort. It’s a broken down backpackers. Window coverings do not cover windows even nearly. Dirty bathroom. Door lock barely hanging on so left valuables in the car which is parked in their camping ground area. All in all the worst place I’ve stayed in 40 years including Asia.

Overall it was a very lovely stay, the 6 mixt dorm room were big with airconditioning. Nice little resort, it's fairly big with campers area, tents and dorms. The biggest down point is the staff. They work badly and they are disappointingly rude. The way they clean the dorm is very incongruous as they over water the tiles which is not only hazardous but definitely unsanitary as puddles of water stay for hours on end before to dry. I put a sheet around the bottom bunk to get myself cozy, which wasn't disturbing anyone and the cleaning staff literally ripped it off and remove any form of configuration. First time a backpack does that, still wondering why. The kitchen is way too small for the number of people and the appliances are overly worn, particularly the pans which are in beyond bad condition. I would recommend to bring your cooking gears. If you don't take in consideration the very rude staff, it's a great place to say!

X Base Resort is primarily a cheap backpackers resort catering to young travellers who share rooms to keep costs down. Regular adult travellers or families booking rooms alone are not financially better off and the resort is highly geared for the teenage backpacker with an abundance of nightly noise.

This is essentially a backpackers and really should say in the wotif details, as I would never have booked to stay. Queen room. 1 x single bed blanket. Went to reception and the could only get 2 knee rugs. Another guest was playing loud rap until 4am.

Yes its a backpacker place. But the rooms and the whole area needs bit TLC. We had unpleasant view of some male backpackers have a shower in donga next to us cause the bathroom window was smash and the glass was not really private.

This place was awful and I would not recommend it to anyone except backpackers. Apart from the dirty shower etc there was no blanket in the room, only a sheet on the bed and no remote for the TV. So we walked to the office which was quite a walk, ( this was a cabin in a caravan park) and asked for a blanket and she gave us 2 cot size blankets as per the photo. We said we didn’t think that would be enough, so she gave us ONE more of the same. She found a remote, so back we came. On the way out another girl saw the blankets and felt sorry for us so found us a couple of single bed size ones!! The remote didn’t work so we took it back and they put new batteries in it. It still didn’t work so we gave up! They seem to be associated with a pub/club next door which had very loud music until 3am. Fortunately we were far enough away that it didn’t bother us too much. One of the steps to our room was rotten and broken off. They told us there were coffee making facilities in the room. That consisted of an electric kettle. No cups or spoons. The receptionist was polite at best. Certainly not friendly, welcoming or helpful. The whole place us run down and awful. The only thing going for it is the location.

Location was perfect. Right in center of town. Wifi was slow. I liked the layout. The dorms were spread out into different buildings. Good air conditioning. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm and we shared a bathroom. Kitchen was spacious but dirty and lots of flies.

The place was big and spacious and right in the heart of airlie. But I had a situation with my bag in their storage room. However they did upgrade me to compensate for it.

The set up of Base in Airlie Beach is really nice but it is let down by the staff and the cleanliness. The guy on check thought he was funny but was just inappropriate and quite honestly arrogant. My sheets were stained so I had to use my sleeping bag liner and the bathroom was also really dirty. When travelling all I want is a nice welcome and a clean bed. You can definitely get more for your money in this quaint little town if you go somewhere else.

Nice location with lovely staff & facilities however the bathroom wasn’t clean at all with peoples hair, dried toothpaste etc. Just wasn’t clean and made me not want to use it. Also had no sleep due to another person within the dorm bringing someone else back to the room! I thought this was against the policy?

Please bare in mind that my experience was tarnished when my Raybans went missing from the ‘safe’ behind reception ‘that only staff can access’. Massively effected my stay at Airlie Beach as I then had to spend time looking for new sunglasses! Despite a member of staf possibly being a thief the lady that I dealt with & the manager were very apologetic & keen to resolve the issue. Currently still waiting on cctv outcome to determine what actually happened to my original pair of glasses!

Excellent location within walking distance of all major sites plus rooms far enough away from main strip so quiet. Key cards too sensitive had to get redone about once a day. 4 person room was large but alot of small ants about.

Really good room size with en suite and in a good location.Always a queue at reception, very noisy air con, tiny kitchen, WiFi a bit slow and you have to get cutlery and plates from reception. Also, room hadn’t been cleaned or beds changed and had to ask a few times for it to be changed. Also more expensive than other ones nearby. The best thing was the big room size, hostel appearance and the location.

The 4beds room is great apart from an old ac, which is very noisy. No nives in the kitchen and not instructions provided upon arrival. Apart from that the lication is great and you can easily sleep at night.
