hostelworld.com Reviews

Travelling is my big passion as you might have seen from my other reviews. During University time trips like 5months backpacking in Asia are not possible but I can always find time for a quick weekend in a great city. I'm just about to book 2 nights in Bratislava and you can follow me through the ...  Read the complete review

*** EDITED ON 25th May 09: hostelworld.com contacted me today after reading this review and are kindly attempting to resolve the problem i.e. reimburse our money. It seems the hostel itself may have been at fault and neglected to inform hostelworld.com of the overbooking. If that's the case, I will of course update my review to reflect this ...  Read the complete review

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place on the web that you could search for cheap accomodation, book it, review it, read reviews and see what nights are available? Well guess what? There is! Yes, Hostelworld is the most complete of several sites that do this function (travelbag, bootsnall being two of the others) but this site seems ...  Read the complete review

This is a website for reserving beds in hostels. Its basically an agent that organises all the hostels in a useful order, with reviews and ratings. If you book direct with the hostel you avoid a £1 booking fee. I am debating with myself wether to use this website or book direct with the hostel. The problem is that things like minimum ...  Read the complete review

When my partner and I spent 6 weeks travelling round Europe in 2007, we booked all of our hostels, without exception, through Hostelworld.com. The reason for this is a feature probably very close to most dooyoo user's hearts - the reviews. The honest and detailed reviews posted by travellers influenced our choices, and there was only one instance ...  Read the complete review

I have just recently used HostelWorld for the first time, to book accommodation for my six-week trip around Asia coming up this November. We are visiting Tokyo and Hong Kong, which are really expensive for hotels, and I was starting to panic that we weren't going to find anywhere to stop within our budget. But then I stumbled across HostelWorld, ...  Read the complete review

Last September (2007) I went travelling with some friends to Eastern Europe - we went to Prague, Vienna, and different cities in Poland. Though we had the first hostel booked, we booked the other ones by finding an Internet cafe when we were ready to move on, and browsing the Internet for places to stay next. Hostelworld.com was the ...  Read the complete review

I'm not much of a hosteller anymore, tending to use hosting exchange websites like Hospitality Club or Couchsurfing and more recently having a bit of a thing for camping. When I was backpacking though, I used to generally just look for a hostel when I turned up in the place, now that I'm working more often though - I sometimes have to plan trips ...  Read the complete review
