This is the best hostel we stayed at in Australia. It was close to many of the major hikes in the area and the common room was always warm and social. The free pasta dinner was delicious and a great way to break the ice with other travellers. The rooms were clean and little details made all the difference. After... More

First of all i apologize for the late review. Me and my girlfriend stayed here in September/October 2011 but as i have only recently started using trip advisor i felt it was important to give our account of our stay especially after reading some negative reviews. This place was fantastic! We arrived having booked 5 nights camping, which they provided... More

- Since the Blue Mountains are a highlight for every hiker we were very disappointed that a hostel (which advertises even with being especially suitable for hikers) does not offer breakfast before 8am. The all free breakfast is after all a bit minimalistic. - Nice owner but very unfriendly staff. - Don't rely on special deals that are advertised on... More

I rarely leave such negative reviews, but this place is just that bad. The hostel is just outside the main parade of shops, but there is a fruit and veg shop just two doors down. The hostel is easy to spot, with clear signs outside. Rooms have lockers, you can borrow a padlock. Beds have their own little lights for... More

I stayed 2 nights at the Flying Fox at the end of March and would happily return there. The hostel has a great atmosphere with people playing guitars and chess in the evenings. Great location near the station; new mattress and pillows; everything very clean; all that I needed in the kitchen with space for food in the fridge; very... More

This was a nice place to stay if you are looking to meet new people and to experience a home away from home. The living room had comfy sofas, a log fire which is lit in the evenings and games for everyone to play. Ross, the owner, has a rule of no technology between 6pm and 9pm which was a... More

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! I stayed here for 7 nights, and wouldn't have left if I hadnt already booked my flight home! The owner, Ross, is a quirky, funny character who has put a lot of effort into making this hostel the amazing, clean, and social place that it is. The place is designed to... More

I was recommended to the Flying Fox by my daughter and son-in-law and it was so great, I went there twice! First time I went on my own and the second time with my son. The welcome is warm, beds are comfortable (I've stayed in all the rooms!), really great pancakes and variety of breads for breakfast, the staff are... More

Best hostel I stayed in in Australia. It's like a houseshare for solo-travellers with plenty of opportuniies for finding people to enjoy the blue mountains with and a good cosy atmosphere in the evening. No laptop in the living room in the evening is a brilliant way of ensuring that people talk to each other instead of skyping or browsing... More
