The Maze was one of the best hostels i've ever stayed at. My roommates for super nice, the room was spotless. There is an excellent restaurant downstairs. Two block walk to the beach. Three blocks to the bus stop and easy transport to the airport. I wasn't crazy about the unisex showers, but it was workable. Would definitely stay there again!

Nice place to stay and staff were great. Checked in at 9 PM and was smooth. the rooms were kept clean and every bed has a light so that you wont disturb your roommates. Kitchen and other amenities are good. Bathrooms needs a bit of work as the water gets stagnated. This can cause a bit of inconvenience. Overall great place to stay and i would love to go back next time here.

Thoroughly Recommend! Many thanks. Great central location in Surfers with excellent access to the beach on one side and river the other. Using public transport is so simple to navigate, with fast connections to get all around the main coast attractions and even great connection to/from Brisbane and theme Parks with minimal changes. Travel costs only 50c in this part of the world too so very budget friendly. Lots of variety of shops, cafes and Coles supermarket just across the road. The Hostel itself had friendly staff and other guests so the vibe was pleasant without being 'over the top' so suited all tastes. Even has a couple of nights of weekly Free food meals .

Maze Backpackers was an okay stay. I visited during winter, so it was fairly quiet and there wasn’t much of a social atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. The only downside was that the door locks didn’t work properly, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it was a decent stay, and I’d imagine it’s much livelier during the busier seasons.

The shower rooms need a place to hook the clothes up and also, the water is not flowing freely and a pool gets created which is very inconvenient. This was the issue last year and still we see it . The checkout process is strict and needs some relaxation at times ( with some exceptions). Otherwise, this is a good place to stay and i would love to go back if i am visiting the GC again.

I stayed here last year and was impressed with the property, amenities and free dinner that was included. This time, I found the hostel a lot dirtier than before. The hostel has a well appointed kitchen. Bed was comfortable, but I'm pretty sure despite getting clean upper and lower sheets, the cover was not clean. Hotels.com sold me the same offer dinner nightly being included in the price. Unfortunately when I checked in the receptionist told me that this was nolonger offered. I wouldn't stay here again.

I didn’t Stay there!!! Reception refused Me to Stay… Due I didn’t have a Passport. I have been not notified or required a Passport before My Booking and before I Supposed to Stay there on that night. Even though I had my Drivers License with Me. They Refused Drivers License. I come all the Way to Gold Coast from Sydney for “Nothing” This has forced Me to Stay Over night on the Street with Other Homeless People. Also… there was “No Manager on Duty” (to it Fix up) Plus… in Fact I had Paid the Accommodation… they Refused the Refund. I contacted Hotel… to sort out the Issues … have to wait 72 hours, and I am still waiting to Hear from them. Manager seemed to be Slack there!!!
