Staff where helpful
We booked freedom for two nights with the plan to have a few chilled nights before travelling to airlie beach. On arrival the hostel seemed ok however it was noticed that it needed a lot of work doing. Upon checking into the room the back patio doors could not be locked and did not fully close meaning the room was filled with bugs.
Once we got to sleep at around midnight we was woken to our door been kicked in by three drunk lads. Half an hour later our door was kicked in again.
From speaking to staff they moved us rooms and said they would look into it. Although staff couldn’t do anything about our room been broken into I feel like security at freedom is lacking. Anyone can walk into the hostel, cameras do not cover certain areas of the hostel and they have no security on a night. I have stayed in many hostels in Australia which have first class security, cameras all over, night guards and high fences to prevent anyone from climbing over.
I will not be booking this hostel again and I urge anyone staying there to check there doors to make sure they are secure. Many of the doors are damaged and although they lock with a little push they will open.
Again this is nothing against the staff on duty at the time, they where really helpful and I was given a full refund.

Ich hatte zwei Nächte in diesem Hostel gebucht um eine Tagestour nach K‘Gari zu machen. Ich hatte Glück und ein Zimmer mit Klimaanlage bekommen, nicht jedes Zimmer hatte eine. Das Zimmer hatte ein eigenes Bad mit Dusche. Die Lage war gut, aber Rainbow Beach ist auch nicht so groß.
Musste bei der Kategorie Sauberkeit leider ein Punkt abziehen, weil die Küche sehr dreckig und unordentlich war. Die Zimmer waren dagegen sauber

La gentillesse du personnel, le jardin, et la localisation.
L’arrêt du Greyhound bus est juste devant !! :)
La propreté de la vaisselle et des ustensiles.. il y a également beaucoup de mouches..

The place was huge and well equipped for a lot of people, each dorm had its own bathroom- the happy hour at the bar was cheap and the staff were friendly! Comfy beds too
The kitchen was very dirty and the fridges were really full, there was also not much equipment to cook with but enough to get by!

- O quarto estava sujo de areia no dia que cheguei e cheguei bem após o período de entrada.
- As fotos não remetem a realidade do hotel.

Bathroom was filthy as was the floor of the bathroom. Kitchen facilities were absolutely filthy. Unable to use them as they were so dirty and unhygienic. Pool was scummy.

The hostel has a perfect location with closeness to greyhound bus stop, K'gari tours pick up location and the beach. I needed some help with lockers since I was going to K'gari, and the staff was super nice and helpful.

Rainbow Beach is a lovely little town and the hostel gets you right in the middle of it. The little garden was nice to have and the beds were comfy.
The unit was very poorly cleaned. The floor was greasy, the ceiling fans had mould and dust on them, and there was a baking tray in the cupboard that hadn't been washed by the previous guests since last use and had rancid fat on it.

Friendly staff, good facilities
Upon arrival, our room door was wide open with another key in it. We also noticed a dried stain on top of the bed sheet (which was just one thin sheet, no duvet or anything) , there was what appeared to be sand on the shower floor, some open cream cheese pot in the fridge, no tv remote and buttons didn’t work on the tv. As well as what looks like bleach stains on the towels.

Perfect location, very central to town. Very reasonably priced. Great place for a quick getaway.
No complaints here, will return again soon.

I liked the common areas and also how close it was to the main town. You can easily walk to most places. The bed was comfortable.
I paid for a private room. The shower had no hot water. It was evident the room wasn't cleaned properly with rubbish in the tea and coffee supplies. The portable fan was very dusty.
Dark towels had bleach stains. Overall okay but not worth $104 sorry I'd rather camp next time.

- kitchen was super small and very hectic to try and cook in

location was brilliant, laundry room was handy. pools and chill out are were nice. Happy hour was decent there.
the staff (apartment from the two blonde girls at the bar and new bar man) were very poor and not accommodating and one lady was so dogmatic. The room wasn’t very clean either.
