Please think twice before staying at this hostel. I tried to submit a review in April but being a backpacker I don't have regular access to the internet, however my experience was such that I wanted to get online to warn people - particularly young girls - about staying here whether alone or in groups. Nothing illegal occured and I... More

After booking the room months in advance through the previous owner. I was informed by Daryl (recent new owner) that he'd decided to increase the price per bed. Knowing that we'd never get accommodation elsewhere in bendigo during the Groovin The Moo music festival weekend, we sucked up the price rise. The new owner has absolutely no communication, social or... More

The Bendigo Backpackers changed hands about 5 weeks ago according to the new owner. All I can say is that I will be avoiding that place at all costs. The new owner was unstable to say the least. My work colleague and I were the only people in an 8-bed dorm room (only one other backpacker was there the night... More

Aside from this the position is great if thats all you want. I am familar with the backpacker style of accommodation and... More

Can relate to Teresa M's comments after having a similar experience. I also was confronted with a rude and unprofessional host who raised his voice at me and was not very understanding at all. I wouldn't even bother with this hostel, there are so many more professional and friendly establishments in Bendigo.

Things have certainly changed at Bendigo Backpackers, and NOT for the better. I made a booking through booking.com for Sat 5 Nov 2011 for myself (a 67-y-o woman) and my 13-y-o granddaughter back in September. I rang on 3 Nov and Graham told me he had never received my booking. He shouted and swore and told me that booking.com was... More

We have friends from interstate looking to stay in Bendigo from Easter for a few days. Their request a 'cheap and homely hostelery' Our e-mail request to Buzza was answered promptly and a reservation made. By comparison with some ***** establishments we've attempted to book with recently, in capital cities, you'd be hard pressed to find more obliging or helpful... More
