Daintree hostel voted Australia's number one

Daintree YHA hostel Crocodylus Village has been ranked the best in QLD at the recent YHA conference in Townsville.

The hostel was also ranked at number five in Australia.

Crocodylus Village was given a customer rating of 92%.

The ratings are given by guests via the YHA site.

Crocodylus Village owner Terry Rogers said the results were based on cleanliness, service, friendliness, location and value for money.

"We're always reasonably high but this year we pipped the post, we were blown away," she said. "We have a lot of long-term staff and the continuity of good staff makes a good resort.

There are more than 140 YHA hostels spread across Australia and 18 in Queensland.
