I spent three nights at the Billabong Resort. Not because I wanted, but because it was high season and it was the only place which had availability. I didn't have very high expectations, but the price is definitely to high (AUD 33) for the poor standard this backpackers offers. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm. The room was... More

I was booked in at the billabong for 2 weeks but only stayed for 4 nights. I never expect to much from hostels, but for the price I paid I would of at least expected clean rooms! I think the biggest problem is they only employ travellers looking for no rent, so nobody is that bothered about anything! I was... More

I stayed for 2 weeks,way back in March '08 and I'm not sure how I lasted that long. The staff are just a disgrace, they have a huge attitude problem, looking down their noses at the dirty backpackers (Yeah, you're so much better than us, we're travelling the world, you're working in a hostel, ever wonder where your life went...

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for a week in mid february and as soon as we walked through the door we felt out of place. There are people that have been living there for months and we felt like they really dont like you being there. There seems to be this vibe of "jocks and cheerleaders" if your not... More

I've seen some horrible reviews of this place in dorms. Yet there are some good and bad aspects of the private double room I shared with my boyfriend. The price was very good for the location in Perth with its own private bathroom with small balcony. Aside from that it was definitely a backpacker's place. There was alot of noise... More

Stayed at billabong for a week at the beginning of february. The staff were rude and so unwelcoming, I don't think any of them wanted to be there or any guests to be there to be honest. The rooms were not clean and ours had quite a few cockroaches and the sheets were covered in stains, the only good thing... More

It was perfect to organize our stuff as we were leaving Perth and heading home. The place is filled with typical backpackers - aka loud British people drinking the cheapest beer all afternoon - but overall the place has all you need from the proximity to a zillion restaurants, decent beds and prices within the range. I think that all... More

I would almost advise this place to be burnt down. The staff were actually offensive to me upon checking out. Extremely rude and unfriendly. The room where I shared the people where all smoking weed in the room and one guy was urinating on the floor. I checked out and stayed in the Witches Hat. It is 1 million miles... More

Really far away from nightlife. The atmosphere was boring and there were no togetherness among the people. Private dorm was ok and we had our own balcony. The kitchen was dirty but the continental breakfast was ok. Nothing else to say really, the hostel just was that dull. More
