Summer House Backpackers Reviews

Amazing place to stay as a backpacker! Me and my friend were upgraded to a private room with en-suite together by a lovely lady at reception! The rooms and kitchen were very clean and the amenities were great including hammocks, pool, bar area, Tv, games console, bikes and scooters and much more. Good location for the airport but a bit far out for a city stay.

A lively sociable happy hostel! We arrived late from our flight but that was no issue when checking in. We had a private room due to a long time traveling and it was both spacious and comfortable. The staff were very helpful regarding trips, transport etc! Breakfast included was really convenient and nice in the morning. A lovely pool to relax around during the day. Would recommend this hostel to solo travellers, groups and couples :)

Not enough fridges to put your food in, not enough seating to eat, private rooms have air con but it can only be put on by reception and there is only one setting which is really low. Dirty linen left on bed had to request more linen.

Always the first choice!

Ordinary youth hostel. in line with its own price positioning.

The hostel and services are very well organized, the staff is very friendly, it is a big hostel and therefore many people uses the premises and sometimes there are issues, overall it is a good place to stay if you want to save a lot of money while in Cairns

Friendly staffs, lots of facilities like bikes, cutlery sets, shuttle bus to the city, towels, and etc provided for free! Especially great for the backpackers :) One drawback is that since the kitchen is located outside, it is not maintained super clean but it was okay too! Not very close to the city but the shuttle runs every 30 mins and the botanic garden, which I really loved, was around so I liked the location too

I've only stayed 2 nights but so far the staff has been friendly and helpful. Beds are comfortable and the bath is clean. Free service transportation. It wasn't loud and not quiet, perfect if you want a good night's sleep but also want to socialize.

Was great! Perfect spot for a nap if you have a long layover.

I really liked the resturant/bar at the hostel, really good food

Friendly, accommodating & helpful staff.

I was overcharged by $124 and refunded $119.80. The bed was hard and showers were cold. I booked a dorm room for 27 a nigjt on Wotif but because of my age being 53, i had to pay 140 a night for a single room that looked like a prison cell. The tables to eat and drink at were never cleaned by staff, the kitchen was dirty and grounds were unkept. The pool was dirty, you wouldnt swim in it. The staff were more concerned about themselves than the customers, eating in front of them, talking with each other while people were waiting to be served. Terrible and i would not recommend it at all.

Friendly fun atmosphere, staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Staff wete friendly and helpful. 24 hr check in super convenient
