We’ve stayed at a The Village hostel in Canberra before and had a rather good experience, this was our first time in Cairns and we greatly appreciated their hospitality once again! The hostel was huge, the rooms were very spacious and we overall were offered everything we needed (laundry room, all equipped kitchen, bathrooms, etc). It was a short stay but we really enjoyed how close the hostel was from the local pool and night market! It’s a 20-min taxi drive from the airport (note that there’s no public transport in this area of the city). Would definitely recommend The Village overall, why not try some of their other locations in the upcoming future!

The air conditioner was right above me, so I was hit by the cold air, and there was mold inside. And I don't know if it was the smell from the person using it below, but the smell was so bad that I didn't want to come into the room.

It was great! It was my first time backpacking so I was a bit worried about whether the room would be clean, but it was very clean!

The location is really good! You can walk anywhere, buy groceries at the mart right in front, and cook at the shared restaurant. The staff are all friendly, the bedrooms are ethnic, and the facilities are not bad! The downside is that the shower room smells a bit like a sewer, and the fire alarm often goes off, so we have to evacuate as a group....

The location is the best thing about this place. They don't let you use the facilities until check-in time, so you can usually wait in the lounge. The common areas are spacious and comfortable. The room I had for 8 people was a mess of things, I imagine it was a long-term stay. It would be nice if they separated the long-term from the casual travelers.

Everyone must download Goki Accommodation’s access control Apps before checking in. The environment is okay and quite soundproof, but the day I checked in was Christmas Day. We came over at around 8pm, but there was no staff at the front desk. We waited at the front desk door for more than an hour without contact. Only online customer service in Hong Kong can successfully check in. I hope the colleagues at the front desk can coordinate better.

Response from Property: We're sorry for the inconvenience on Christmas Day. Due to the holiday rush, we had limited staff, causing delays in service. Your feedback is noted, and we'll work on better coordination. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thanks to the strongest Wi-Fi in all areas, I only had to use minimal communication during my trip, so I didn't experience any inconvenience. Since I don't have a physical key, I use an app called GOKI to unlock all doors via Bluetooth. Breakfast includes basic bread items such as bread, cereal, yogurt, milk, coffee, and jam. The staff will line you up at the buffet from 7:30-10:00. Wash your own cutlery. There is no fresh fruit available, so I recommend buying it at the supermarket one or two doors down from the building. The location is excellent and the price is reasonable. Towels are the same as Australian locals and are not changed daily, so pay extra if you need them.

Response from Property: We're thrilled you found our Wi-Fi reliable and our keyless entry system convenient. Your feedback on breakfast and fresh fruit availability is noted. We strive for excellence in service and value for our guests. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

I booked a room with a window, but there was no window. The price remained the same. Breakfast is something I make myself from what I have in the fridge. There were other guests' personal belongings in the refrigerator, so I didn't know which ones to use, so in the end I could only eat bread or cereal. The only thing you can do to clean your room is throw out the trash. There are only stairs, so it can be difficult for people with a lot of luggage!

Response from Property: We apologize for any confusion regarding your room and breakfast. As a hostel, we offer basic amenities and a communal kitchen for self-prepared meals. We'll ensure clearer communication regarding room features. Our team is available to assist with any concerns during your stay. Thank you for your feedback.

The location is first-class, the toilets and kitchen are clean, and the management is in place. There are activities held several days a week. It is suitable for people who love socializing. The rooms are also well soundproofed and the dormitory prices are cheap.

When I visited Australia this time, the most impressive thing was staying at The Village Cairns. We stayed here for three days. Johnny at the front desk received us that day with a very good and patient attitude. Seeing that we were a family of three, he specially gave us He arranged a very quiet room, and told us in detail the location and key points of use of the kitchen and bathroom, as well as how to use the virtual door lock. Our first impression was that he was enthusiastic and responsible; 2.14 was Valentine's Day, and Johnny informed us of the evening's activities in the morning. Let's participate together. Sure enough, with wine, juice, chocolate and music on the balcony in the evening, our family spent a very meaningful Valentine's Day together, which added a lot to our trip. Today we will leave Cairns for Bu Lisbane continues the next journey, thank you Johnny, see you in Cairns!
