Be Home was meant to be a temporary stop, a stepping stone for me and my best friend who moved to Australia at just 18. But from the moment we stepped inside, we felt something different. We knew deep down… this wasn’t just a place to stay, it was home. There’s something incredibly special about Be Home. It draws in genuine travellers from all over the world and somehow, effortlessly, turns strangers into family. Even though I was only there for five months, I walked away with lifelong friends and unforgettable memories that I’ll carry with me forever. If you’re lucky like I was you might even find your travel bestie here. The space itself is a gem, always spotless with cleaners working around the clock, a 24-hour kitchen that feels like the heart of the home, and most importantly, privacy that truly respects your space. This isn’t one of those hostels where your only “privacy” is a thin curtain over your bed. At Be Home, it’s so much more it’s thoughtful, comfortable, and honestly… it just feels right. Be Home gave me more than a place to sleep. It gave me connection, laughter, love, and a sense of belonging I never expected but will...

When I first arrived, I expected a place to stay, a bed, maybe a few passing conversations. What I found instead was a family, a community, and a sense of belonging I didn’t even know I was searching for. The walls held more than just rooms, they held laughter, late-night talks, shared meals, support during hard days, and genuine care from people who were once strangers and quickly became life long friends.
What made it all even more special were the owners and staff. They weren’t just running a place, they were building a home. Their kindness, understanding, and willingness to go above and beyond for each resident made all the difference. They were always there to help, to listen, and to support, no matter what was needed. Their warmth and compassion created an atmosphere where everyone could feel safe, seen, and valued.
It was never just about accommodation, it was about connection. And leaving isn’t easy when you’ve truly felt at home.
Thank you, BeHome,...
Read moreI arrived with the plan to stay for just 1 or 2 months, but ended up staying for 6 months. This hostel is truly unique and feels like home. I made lifelong friendships, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. There’s always something fun to do with the other guests, so you’ll never get bored.
The capsule option is great, you get a perfect rest and privacy. The common areas are well maintained and have everything you need.
The location is perfect, right in the heart of Surfers Paradise, with everything you need just a 5 minute walk away, including public transport, supermarkets, gyms, and entertainment.
Big thanks to Sandy and Chris for creating such a place, and to the managers Terry and Lauren for always helping us with anything we needed.
I have no complaints about this place, it’s...
