Helpful staff with a quirky humorous edge. Lots of people around. A fun social Backpackers place. The location is nice too, close to transport and some bars. Fairly clean too. Maybe wouldn't swim in the pool. But the hangout spot in the backyard and on the first floor is cool.

Booked to stay in the bong in November 2012 for 7 nights, 4 months down the line I was very sad to leave The Bong isn't great, grungey rooms, some pretty unprofessional staff, sketchy kitchen where food is stolen but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. The atmosphere is second to none, met some amazing people and friends... More

Whilst travelling I ended up staying/working in Perth for over 7 months, all of which I stayed at the Billabong. I came straight over from the UK and having never been in a hostel before I had no idea what to expect. My first impressions weren't all that good, it wasn't as clean as I thought it would, the staff... More

Rooms were very average for the price. I stayed in a four bed dorm. my roomies were great. Staff are rude, condescending and arrogant. I felt like I was staying at a kinder-garden. Only one working power point in our room for four people and even that was unsafe. You have to carry all your kitchen needs with you, including... More

Was due to stay in this hostel for 4 nights with my boyfriend in October. Arrived in Perth at 4 in the morning and got to the Hostel by 5. One of my main reasons for booking into this hostel was the fact that they had a 24hr reception And free bus from the airport. Firstly there was no answer... More

It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hostel so take my review with a grain of salt. I have however spent the last year plus traveling through Asia and arriving in Perth was a huge shock. I'm used to having an awesome private room, big bed, own bathroom etc for six to twelve dollars max. A dorm... More

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
