Bounce Noosa

I feel like this is one of those hostels that trades on being new, looking flashy with nice facilities but is pretty average underneath. For one thing, there are no keys but you have to fully download an app. So to open the door you need to register with an app, then every time unlock your phone, navigate to the app, and click the button to open the door while swiping. Several more steps than swiping a card. Sorry, it’s just dumb. Also, the beds are built in but there are no privacy/blackout curtains. It’s a cheap, commonsense thing in many hostels now that significantly improves the experience and should be standard at this price point. Even just simple design choices in the bathrooms to prevent everything being constantly wet - very easy to slip and had a couple of near misses myself. Otherwise it was fine, (mostly) clean and with friendly and hardworking staff. And the common amenities (pool, lounge, bar, kitchen) are good! Helpfully there is a supermarket across the street as well, in this way the location is good.

Myself and my 3 friends stayed at the hostel over new years and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was clean, rooms were perfect and the pool was amazing! Location was also sooo fine! Uber or shuttle into town was very accessible! Staff were also so lovely Sophie at reception always went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met! Definitely coming back this time next year!!

Nice hostel with pool. Everything feels new, although you definitely pay a bit more for its Instagram aesthetic. The small things that make a hostel great are missing - for example they’ve scrimped on some basics such as privacy curtains on beds in most dorm rooms. The Instagram vibe also attracts a strange crowd - Saturday night here felt like an episode of Love Island and not the laidback backpacker vibe you’d expect from a hostel.

10/10 – Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! This hostel exceeded all expectations. The rooms were spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and everything was thoughtfully designed for travelers. The staff were incredibly friendly and always happy to help with recommendations, tours, or just a chat. The atmosphere was perfect — social without being noisy — making it easy to meet people from all over the world. The common areas were clean, cozy, and well-equipped, and the location couldn’t have been better: close to everything but still quiet at night. Amazing value for money. I felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely sad to leave. If you’re even considering staying here, do it. I’d come back in a heartbeat. They take you to this amazing Club on a Thursday called It’s The Rock Noosa, it will be one of the best clubs you go to in Noosa!

Great hostel! Bedrooms and bathrooms were really clean. Staff were really friendly, especially the bar staff. Only thing is that it’s quite a walk from the centre of Noosa and the beach, but the hostel runs a shuttle at 3 points throughout the day which is really helpful. Would definitely recommend!
