    Had an awesome stay at Bounce! 🙌 The place is super clean, well-kept, and the facilities are spot on, definitely some of the best standards I’ve seen in a hostel. There’s a really friendly vibe here, everyone gets along and it just makes it so easy to meet people and feel at home. The staff are next-level, not just friendly but genuinely helpful and accommodating. Big shoutout to Nail and Sharlene, after chatting with them I actually decided to switch over to the long-term options, and I’m so glad I did. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that’s clean, social, and run by a great team, Bounce is the way to go! 🎉

    The vibes in this hostel are 10 out of 10. The staff is super nice, they have everything you need (washing machines, free washing liquids, hairdryers, great kitchen etc) And they organize the best events, movie night and yoga are amazing

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel in Airlie Beach! The atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming, perfect for meeting new people and enjoying the backpacker vibe. The staff are incredibly kind, always ready to help with a smile and give great tips about the Whitsundays and the area. The facilities are clean and well maintained – the rooms are comfortable, the common areas are spacious, and the kitchen is beautiful and clean and has everything you need. The location is also perfect: close to the lagoon, bars, shops, and everything you need in Airlie. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through the Whitsundays, I’ll be back for sure! Thanks again to all Bounce team! Alessandro

    It was right in the heart of Airlie and it was the cleanest hostel I’ve been to. The wine and charcuterie night was awesome! The workers were awesome and very friendly. Overall, the best hostel I’ve been to.

    No lockers in the room.

    Lots of spots indoor and outdoor to hang out. The hostel organizes activities to meet other people. Staff is very friendly. Good location, close to beaches, shops and the lagoon. I could use a locker for my valuables when I went to the withsundays, I appreciated that. Nice bedrooms, but not a lot of space.

    No curtains for bed so not as much privacy and the ratio of bathroom facilities to person was quite low.

    Comfortable beds and great social areas. walkable to the main street although is further out than other options

    It could have been more storage space in the room, like hooks or shelfs.

    It was always very clean in the kitchen and bathrooms. All staff was really friendly and helpful, Emir and Phoebe was extra helpful and supportive with my job hunt. Highly recommend Bounce!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great stay at Bounce Airlie Beach! The facilities were clean, the vibe was relaxed, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. A special shoutout to Emir at reception — he was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome. His energy really added to the positive atmosphere of the place. Thanks for the great experience — I’d definitely come back!

    The kitchen, chill areas & bathrooms are extremely clean & modern. It’s giving Boujee Hostel vibes. It’s also just off the main street so it’s not so loud as some of the other hostels!

    The main area is locked overnight so if you have an early start you can’t store things in luggage/in lockers if you will need them, the fact that this area is totally inaccessible between certain hours could have been communicated clearly, it might help to have lockers in the room instead of just the luggage store

    The location is great and they have a lot of activities to help people meet, the staff were also great and helped me work my stay around a trip I wanted to go on
