It’s very basic and definitely a bit tired but is pretty much what I’d expect for the price and type of accommodation. Shower was very bad though, at some points just big drops of water. Events at Boaty’s made for fun evenings and good food there too, although due to the size / setup doesn’t lend itself so easily to solo travellers meeting people apart from in the dorms / if you’re already coming with others. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shyann 6 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities ##### Shyann Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugh 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service ##### Hugh Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### FUMIKO 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 部屋は4人部屋でしたが狭いと感じることはなく、ベッドや床だけでなく水回りも清潔で各家屋の施錠システムもあり、金額を考えるとシャワーと寝るだけの部屋として十分な機能が揃っていると思いました！強いて言えば、シャワーの水圧が(日本と比べると)やや弱い点(それでも十分利用できます！)と２段ベッドの柵がやや揺れやすく、下の人が寝返る際の揺れが上のベッドにもダイレクトに来やすいのと、登る際に少々不安定な時があった点です。ですがちゃんと登り降り出来ましたし怪我は一切していないので、感じ方はあくまで個人差があると思います！　総合的には大満足しています！ ##### FUMIKO Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bernadette 8 Apr 2023 ##### Bernadette Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bernie 7 Apr 2023 ##### Bernie Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adrian 6 Nov 2022 ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 22 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Give it a miss This is not a motel or resort. It’s a broken down backpackers. Window coverings do not cover windows even nearly. Dirty bathroom. Door lock barely hanging on so left valuables in the car which is parked in their camping ground area. All in all the worst place I’ve stayed in 40 years including Asia. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/066E83916C23CB22C4C61D34F1B92AA095004D741666418680868.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90A1E80DBE7A991D63FF2926D6059BA54043CAB61666418681131.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9353A66ACE1DBB9A21F93F3FF154C126FBFE4DA71666418679530.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0CF8CB751A6EF37565E215D81C94E82880EC5AA11666418679907.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lea 25 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Overall it was a very lovely stay, the 6 mixt dorm room were big with airconditioning. Nice little resort, it's fairly big with campers area, tents and dorms. The biggest down point is the staff. They work badly and they are disappointingly rude. The way they clean the dorm is very incongruous as they over water the tiles which is not only hazardous but definitely unsanitary as puddles of water stay for hours on end before to dry. I put a sheet around the bottom bunk to get myself cozy, which wasn't disturbing anyone and the cleaning staff literally ripped it off and remove any form of configuration. First time a backpack does that, still wondering why. The kitchen is way too small for the number of people and the appliances are overly worn, particularly the pans which are in beyond bad condition. I would recommend to bring your cooking gears. If you don't take in consideration the very rude staff, it's a great place to say! ##### Lea Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gavin 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Gavin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 23 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a dbl cabin, old and spacious gorgeous ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alan 18 Aug 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities X Base Resort is primarily a cheap backpackers resort catering to young travellers who share rooms to keep costs down. Regular adult travellers or families booking rooms alone are not financially better off and the resort is highly geared for the teenage backpacker with an abundance of nightly noise. ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rachel 8 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This is essentially a backpackers and really should say in the wotif details, as I would never have booked to stay. Queen room. 1 x single bed blanket. Went to reception and the could only get 2 knee rugs. Another guest was playing loud rap until 4am. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 3 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very good value and position is excellent walking distance to all the shops clubs beach and marina rooms very spacious Only mugs spoon plus tea coffee sugar, everything else is great. Staff are really helpful ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Phillip 1 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service For the money it’s well worth staying ##### Phillip Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### David 24 Jun 2022 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Yes its a backpacker place. But the rooms and the whole area needs bit TLC. We had unpleasant view of some male backpackers have a shower in donga next to us cause the bathroom window was smash and the glass was not really private. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Aurelie 31 Dec 2021 Disliked: Staff & service Staff very unfriendly, not professional, when they work because it suppose to be open in a morning but is no one there or just a note saying " im back in 1h", the receptionists are not organised at all. The worst camping and hostel I stayed. I very do not recommend this place ##### Aurelie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michelle 3 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I booked a stay in a female only room and during the night 3 people entered late and one was male which made me quite uncomfortable. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Courtney 9 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good vibes, quiet rooms. The workers were very accommodating and lovely to talk to. Only downside was that the bathroom didn't have a drain, or shower curtain to stop shower water going all over the floor. Also didn't have a plug for the spa bath. The spa bath was also not working. ##### Courtney Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dympna 24 Sept 2021 ##### Dympna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 29 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities H ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western London Highbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Best-Western-London-Highbury.h4561208.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Burford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burford-Hotels.d11369.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Barcelona Cathedral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Cathedral-Hotels.0-l6066975-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Tolroy Manor Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayle-Hotels-Tolroy-Manor-Holiday-Park.h17681253.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Cars > [Car hire in Mildenhall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Mildenhall.d8737.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Algeria Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Algeria.d3.Holidays-City-Breaks)
