Free drink on arrival!!! Surfboards and bikes for free hire plus events every day. Budds in Surfers what an experience :)

The staff were so nice and there were a lot of activities for the residents (one or to activities a day!). The toilets and showers were very clean and the rooms were also cleaned every day. Location was nice, near the tram and the main beach. They also let you borrow bicycles or surf bord for free. Breakfast was nice too.

The kitchen was very small and not very clean (but that was only because of the people, that staff cleaned there several times a day). The bunk bed was not very stable.

This is the best and most ideal hostel in the whole of surfers paradise!! Everyone here is just on-a vibe and are all on the same wavelength. There’s nothing not to like if you are travelling surfers paradise as a backpacker. They provide a happy hour, activities to do every night and group nights out! This hostel is ideal for meet new people and friends!!

Other than having to share a room with them all being women!! What more can you expect from a hostel. Plus they were very friendly.

One of the best hostel that i stayed in Australia. A lot of good activities, good and Kind staff, very socialize people, free food in some night and free breakfast, very clean and also the pool was good. I have booked for 8 dorm bed but the room are only for 2 o 4 people so a nice surprise

The room has always a small window open and the light come in from 5 am and you can't control the air condittioner by yourself, you have always to ask at the reception

Good free breakfast, comfortable beds, good kitchen storage and cooking facilities. Nice entertainment such as quizzes, table tennis, trips to the sunset at the beach etc. One of the more pricier hostels we’ve stayed in but one of the cheapest for the area. Would recommend!

Only one washing up tap which meant queues, poor weather meant the paddle boarding got cancelled. Drains in the hand washing sinks in the bathroom definitely need de-clogging!

Had an amazing stay at Budds, the best hostel to stay in to meet new people and have a good time. The staff are all so friendly and the facilites always clean. Every night there are activities to meet new people and to make the most of the Gold Coast. Great social areas a large pool which other hostels in Gold Coast don’t have. A bar and social area which are great to meet new people. Made some friends for life here and will definitely be back again in the future!

- enjoyed the common facilities and the cleanliness of the room! The place feels very chill compared to the busy environment of Gold Coast :) - the staff is out of this world! Daniel was so welcoming at check-in and was always present at reception if we had a question or needed something :) - the activities were the cherry on the cake: yoga, SUP, free bikes… it was such a nice atmosphere! I am normally not a big fan of hostels but this one definitely stood out!

I loved the staff, they couldn't have done more for ppl. I loved the facilities and the entertainment that was put on every night. And the location was amazing, shop next door and the high street only a 5 min walk. I WILL BE BACK.

The only improvement I could suggest is to get some ceiling fans in the reception/games area as on the hot nights it was ridiculous

Budds in Surfers is an amazing hostel for adventurous travelers. They offer free access to bikes and surfboards, free breakfast, and fun activities to meet fellow travelers. The hostel is kept spotlessly clean, and the staff is kind and caring, ensuring a memorable stay. If you're looking for a social and fun hostel experience, Budds in Surfers is the perfect place!

Location is good. Activities every night if you want!

Staff wasn’t good… looked like a huge friend group just hanging around (actually took me 3 days to realise they were the staff) and usually small kitchen was full of them. Not very welcoming. Nothing to dry your hands to at the bathroom or in the kitchen.
