Basic but comfortable
Was a bit apprehensive booking this after reading a lot of bad reviews about the cleanliness, however my room was perfectly clean. It’s very basic and definitely a bit tired but is pretty much what I’d expect for the price and type of accommodation. Shower was very bad though, at some points just big drops of water. Events at Boaty’s made for fun evenings and good food there too, although due to the size / setup doesn’t lend itself so easily to solo travellers meeting people apart from in the dorms / if you’re already coming with others.

Our room was terrible, broken window with wood over it, broken door lock, mold and asbestos warning labels. This is a cheap back pack hotel and not a resort-look elsewhere in town.

Give it a miss
This is not a motel or resort. It’s a broken down backpackers. Window coverings do not cover windows even nearly. Dirty bathroom. Door lock barely hanging on so left valuables in the car which is parked in their camping ground area. All in all the worst place I’ve stayed in 40 years including Asia.

Overall it was a very lovely stay, the 6 mixt dorm room were big with airconditioning. Nice little resort, it's fairly big with campers area, tents and dorms. The biggest down point is the staff. They work badly and they are disappointingly rude. The way they clean the dorm is very incongruous as they over water the tiles which is not only hazardous but definitely unsanitary as puddles of water stay for hours on end before to dry. I put a sheet around the bottom bunk to get myself cozy, which wasn't disturbing anyone and the cleaning staff literally ripped it off and remove any form of configuration. First time a backpack does that, still wondering why. The kitchen is way too small for the number of people and the appliances are overly worn, particularly the pans which are in beyond bad condition. I would recommend to bring your cooking gears. If you don't take in consideration the very rude staff, it's a great place to say!

X Base Resort is primarily a cheap backpackers resort catering to young travellers who share rooms to keep costs down. Regular adult travellers or families booking rooms alone are not financially better off and the resort is highly geared for the teenage backpacker with an abundance of nightly noise.

This is essentially a backpackers and really should say in the wotif details, as I would never have booked to stay. Queen room. 1 x single bed blanket. Went to reception and the could only get 2 knee rugs. Another guest was playing loud rap until 4am.

Yes its a backpacker place. But the rooms and the whole area needs bit TLC. We had unpleasant view of some male backpackers have a shower in donga next to us cause the bathroom window was smash and the glass was not really private.

Staff very unfriendly, not professional, when they work because it suppose to be open in a morning but is no one there or just a note saying " im back in 1h", the receptionists are not organised at all. The worst camping and hostel I stayed. I very do not recommend this place

I booked a stay in a female only room and during the night 3 people entered late and one was male which made me quite uncomfortable.

Good vibes, quiet rooms. The workers were very accommodating and lovely to talk to. Only downside was that the bathroom didn't have a drain, or shower curtain to stop shower water going all over the floor. Also didn't have a plug for the spa bath. The spa bath was also not working.
