Wow what a horrible experience! Went to check in and was met with a lot of rudeness after a mishap with booking 1 bed instead of two. I was looked up and down, The two men serving us at reception (one had a ponytail and one had black short hair) were absolutely horrible! I left in tears. Do not stay here unless it's a last resort and even then I still wouldn't. It's a shame I really wanted to like dougies and give it a chance but after that I'm completely done with the place! After reading the reviews I see a lot of people also have a problem with the guy with the pony tail I believe his name is Jeff? Could be wrong. The attitude they serve guests with is quite disgusting I generally don't know how they are still open. Management needs to seriously look into removing these people from the establishment as they do nothing positive for dougies if anything they lose money by being so rude

What a special place! For the price you certainly can’t beat the environment, kindness of the staff, and overall vibe. The manager did all of my bookings for travel/trips and was extremely responsive via email ahead of my trip — concierge service that is quite rare at a backpackers hostel. The communal showers/bathrooms are in great shape and the window A/C unit kept up with the summer heat just fine. I cannot recommend Dougies and their delightful staff enough to any backpacker looking for an unforgettable stay.

Awful experience!
16 Nov 2023
Terrible experience!!!!! Came to celebrate our sisters birthday in port Douglas got charged 20$per person for one night and got put in a car park where they throw the rubbish (looked like a scrap yard). Went to cook in the kitchen and had to pay 10 $ to use a plate and cutlery... then thought we would have some drinks in the bar the staff were so so rude! Special call out to Jessy for being over the top rude and giving us evil looks for wanting to play pool after being in a wait for 2 hours and not being aloud to play and then requesting a song for my sister's birthday and got it changed straight away. All the other staff were there drinking and told us we couldn't play pool or request songs as it was the managers last night and that was a fair excuse to give appalling customer service apparently .Will not be back and definitely won't recommend. :(

Stayed at Dougies for 3 nights. Great hostel, good cooking facilities, friendly staff and clean. Good vibe with lots of social areas and affordable drinks at the bar. Highly recommend for anyone planning a stay in Port Douglas.
