    I had the most comfortable stay at Rainbow Lodge. The double room with a private bathroom was spacious and well-equipped, even with a TV! The cleanliness throughout the hostel was exceptional, especially the spotless kitchen that was constantly being attended to. Plus, the additional amenities like bike rentals and a sauna made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Rainbow Lodge for its exceptional facilities and warm, homely atmosphere.

    During my Christmas stay, I really liked the free wifi and the friendly staff at the hotel. It was great to be connected and able to stay in touch with family and friends during the holiday season. the location of the hotel was also fantastic, with key attractions and amenities conveniently close by. I enjoyed the communal kitchen, which was large and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and interact with other guests.

    There were some times when the noise level was a bit too much to handle. Late at night, some guests were talking and laughing loudly near my room, which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep.

    We had a great stay here! The staff were lovely and showed us around the place. We stayed in a simple but comfortable private room with ensuite and small TV. The shared kitchen was always clean and well-equipped with fresh herbs and veges from the garden. The location was convenient with off-street parking and everything we needed was provided.

    We really enjoyed our time here and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay.

    Great location close to everything, nice staff, and free wifi. , the complimentary coffee and tea were a plus.

    The lack of cleanliness really put a damper on my Christmas vacation. The bathrooms were in dire need of attention, and the bedsheets were not changed regularly.

    The value for money at this place was great, I got a comfortable room and the location was convenient. The staff at Rainbow Lodge Backpackers were outstanding, friendly and really helpful throughout my stay.

    Food for breakfast could have been better, maybe more variety would be nice.

    I had a wonderful stay in this hostel. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. The indoor social and kitchen areas were clean and spacious, and I felt safe during my stay. The small dorm rooms were a great idea, and the bedding and shower areas were clean. Additionally, the great location allowed me to walk to amenities and spa thermal park.

    All was perfect.

    The hostel had a large and cozy kitchen area, which was cleaned frequently throughout the day. Friendly staff provided a warm welcome upon arrival, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. There were many opportunities to meet and socialize with other travelers, and the location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions.

    The free wifi was not always reliable throughout the entire hostel.

    Enjoyed the good WiFi service and availability of individual lights that could be adjusted for brightness levels in the room. the equipped kitchen had an excellent spice selection, and there was bike hire available. the location was convenient and rooms were affordable, clean, warm, and comfortable.

    It was not ideal to have an unstable shower water temperature in the private room with a bed that was too soft, and a kettle in the room instead of having to go to the kitchen to make tea or coffee at night would have been useful.
