User Reviews for Hostelworld: Hostel Travel App

Trash Support

When purchasing a hostel for spring break, my web browser autofilled the wrong email while completing the purchase and for some reason this tiny mistake was entirely irreparable. Assuming this was an easy issue to fix, I emailed support. After a day, the entirely unhelpful, Maks from support, replied spelling my name wrong and telling me that there is simply no way to change the email associated with a booking EVEN if I’m the owner of that email and can receive emails sent to it. I found this to be extremely annoying and I was incredulous that he vaguely blamed this on some “data protection laws”. There is simply no way that this is true. Many companies allowyou to change an associated email (I’ve done it with Microsoft for example).If you’re reading this devs, add a way to change the email associated with a booking.

HostelWorld

HostelWorld is a solid hotel booking application that allows users to easily book accommodations at any of the listed residences. The app provides all the information on listed hostels you would want to know whether it be prices, images, policies, details on the place itself and more. The app has user reviews to provide even more information to help better inform your decision. Search is easy with the ability to type in your destination, party and how long you plan to stay. Users can create accounts to better manage their travel allowing you to save locations as well as perform other activities. The app even works as a mini travel guide with the My Trips section giving you information on places you plan to visit.

New update isn’t good

I used to love this app, and love being able to save hostels I wanted to visit in the future to my favorites list. But since they’ve updated the app, I can no longer save any hostels to look at later, I can’t see my booking reference number, so I have to screenshot everything, and I can’t see the hostels I’ve stayed at previously. Also, there is a new chat feature where you can chat with people at your hostel up to 14 days before check-in, but that doesn’t even work. I’ve been at this hostel for 2 days and there is no way to chat with anyone through the app. If nothing is done about these not great updates, I’ll find a different way to book hostels.

Best App for traveling!

Hostelworld has time and time again exceeded my expectations. It is by far the most useful app you could possibly have while traveling. Not only do they let you book hostels in advance but they let you know the period you have to cancel or change your reservation in case your travel plans have changed! They provide you with the best index of hostels all around the world and let their customers make the decisions about which Hostels are the best to stay in. You can read other reviews and look at hostel ratings and decide which one would be the best for you. Could not have traveled without Hostelworld and will continue to use it for a very long time

GET THIS APP IF YOU EVER GO TO EUROPE

This is the best app when your traveling. Hostels aren’t scary, dirty or unsafe. Hostels are the new hotels but cheaper! If you doubt it, just stay at one! I backpacked Europe for 3 weeks on the cheap. And every hostel was like a hotel. If you don't like people, GET YOUR OWN ROOM! It’s cheap! Nothing compared to the price of a hotel especially in high demand cities like Rome, Paris or Barcelona. Hostels are humbler than hotels for sure. They won’t have 1000 thread count sheets and a fridge with a mini bar. BUT! They’re clean, they’re friendly, they’re SUPER cheap. This app provides the best rating system of hostels. You like clean? This app will tell you which hostel is the cleanest. You like environment? This app tells you which hostels are the more lively ones. Get this app.Just do it-Nike

Dream House

Our stay in dream house was perfect. The apartment is located in the middle of the mountains. You will see the most spectacular mountain and nature view from the apartment. There is a river in front of the apartment. You can hike around into the most beautiful nature including river and mountains of northwest Tehran. Its 20 minutes away from center of Tehran. The apartment is beautiful, clean, well decorated and has the breathtaking view from the windows. The bed is very comfortable. You can cook in the kitchen and barbecue in the backyard. There is refrigerator too. Mojtaba, the host is very accommodating, friendly and kind. He is available 24/7. The breakfast is really good. I will stay here again. Thank you Mojtaba for our stay in your lovely apartment.

Features removed for no reason??? Or for $$$

I don’t know why this app was updated in the first place, and it was updated to remove features not add any, like every other app. The ability to make lists of hostels I wanted to visit…gone with no notice and didn’t even tell me what was on the list. Thanks a lot. Also thr entire design has changed and is incredibly ugly now. Also…why is the feature to filter reviews by age gone?! Such a great feature that I used because different age groups can have differing opinions of the same hostel! Seems like they’re gatekeeping these feautures and other features for a future ‘plus’ membership, as if they don’t already have the money monopoly on the hostel-booking market. Why not add more features to a plus membership instead of taking away ones that already existed for years? So greedy and such stupid updates.

Great app. May i offer a suggestion?

This app has been great for finding hostels and reading reviews. I think one feature that would dramatically improve the hostel experience was if this app allowed you to rate people who shared a room with you. While I have had no problem with some of the hostels themselves, some of my experiences have been miserable thanks to inconsiderate roommates. This would enable hostels to see a rating for a specific person and decline them staying at the hostel if they have a bad rating, or charge them extra. This would hold people more accountable for being considerate when sharing a room with others. Please consider this.

Inflated rating system and no liability

I made a booking for 3 nights, but the hostel was a dump so I left after night 1. I tried to get a full refund of the remaining two nights from the hostel but was given a partial refund bc they said they have to pay Hostel world a booking fee(which makes sense). I tried to solicit Hostel Worlds help and they provided no assistance and took no responsibility for what is ranked as a “Very Good” hostel on their site. They did not refund me the portion which is their booking fee for the 2 nights I didn’t stay (total $22). So I ended up paying hostel world 2 nights worth of booking fees for nights I did not stay there. Also The lowest possible ranking on their app is a 2. Pretty sure there are numbers lower than that... Lesson learned: If you see a hostel you want to stay at on Hostel World don’t book it through their site. You will save money by booking directly with the hostel and you will have more rights to your money

hostel world app just failed big time on me

i just landed in El Cairo, Egyptat Miami Cairo Hosteli have to say, i never had this problem but i think that Hostelworld just ruined part of my vacation, because now i have to go out and find a hotel room. This place is a total DUMP, never seen anything like this and i been staying in hostel for a long time in different countries. This references in the hostelworld app must been fake, (made by someone for the hostel)because this place is ugly and dirty, is nasty, nothing like in the pictures.. the pictures must had been altered. There is no one staying here but me. Im completely alone, is a scary place and situation.I dont understan why hostelworld doesnt have someone rating this places for the app.because this does not qualify to be called a hostel. period. This is not cool at all. now i feel i cant trust hostelworld no more.I will cancel my second day stay and will spend my whole day looking for a decent place to stay, thats not fair for me who came here on vacation. I had been in bad hostels, dirty, etc..but never something like this...Is completely empty, no one is here, is scary place and dirty.. like i said, all references must be fake. Feel like i want to run out of here.
