When we got off the Greyhound we noticed the shuttle bus for Dolphins drive off. We did arrive later than scheduled but they could have waited around...we had to wait about 45 minutes in the rain until the next shuttle arrived. A few people were worried that they were not going to be picked up. The hostel is located about... More

The Greyhound was a few minutes late getting into Noosa, but rather than wait for the three passengers they knew they were expecting the minibus was nowhere to be seen and returned two hours later. The lady at reception showed everyone to their rooms, one at a time, leaving everyone else waiting in reception. The hostel itself wasn't particularly clean... More

Out of all our travels, i think the person who picked us up from the Greyhound bus stop to take us to this hostel wins the award for rudest and must stuck up we have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Very late picking us up, didn't speak a word to us and drove us full speed with music outrageously... More

Microwave in the kitchen near our twin room was not functioning. Swimming pool is non existence. Nearest place to swim is sunshine beach.... More

Got bitten alive by bedbugs day 1; there was 1 toilet and shower for 8 people; couch was seriously damaged. On the flip side the location is good if you want... More

We paid 90AUD for a private double ensuite. It was really a separate apartment where you shared the livingroom and kitchen and yes, had your own double bed and bathroom. The problem is, 90AUD is too pricy for the terrible condition of the apartment. I mean really terrible, yucky, almost sorid condition. To be fair, we showed up late at... More

We stayed there for 3 nights and enjoyed it very very much. Nice location, nice construction, airy garden and generally the crowds are not so obvious when staying there. The shuttle to the town is super convenient and frequent enough for all the necessities. We stayed in a private double room which was small but it had TV and DVD,... More

My partner and I booked 3 nights to stay at Dolphins in a private room with shared facilities. We decided to stay here over other hostels as the website stated that: "All rooms are apartment-style. Each group of four guests has their own kitchen, TV and DVD player. There is no additional charge for cutlery and crockery" and "Free 24-hour... More
