Dealing with nightmare roommates at Waikiki hostel I’ve been solo traveling in Hawaii for a couple weeks, and all my hostel experiences have been great until now. Two days ago I had a peaceful 9-bed dorm to myself when a group of 8 college guys on spring break checked in, taking over every other bed. These guys are making it impossible to sleep. They keep the lights on and are literally shouting…

PSA: Hostelworld doesn’t allow you to rate a hostel less than 2/5 Had a bad experience at a hostel I booked on Hostelworld. Wanted to leave a bad review that reflected my feelings on that place. And I discovered it is apparently not possible to leave a review that is less than 2/5, even if you give the lowest possible score to everything. Which means that all hostel ratings on Hostelworld are crazy overinflate…

Can I message a hostel on Hostelworld? I usually use booking.com but used Hostelworld this time (which I’m regretting). I arrive late so I’m supposed to receive self check in instructions, but I didn’t. I emailed and sent them a WhatsApp message, but haven’t had a response. Is there a way to message the hostel on the Hostelworld app? Seems like I can only message other travelers… whi…

What’s your worst hostel dorm story? I’m travelling in turkey and staying mostly in hostels. My whole life I’ve used hostels (I’m 30 now) but this trip I’ve had to take a break and use some extra cash for private rooms.

Money isn’t an issue in Medellin since I can see some really…

Is it weird staying at a hostel nearing middle age? The title is self-explanatory ☺️ I stayed at plenty of hostels in my youth and, as I became older able to afford better accommodation, I would choose hotels over B&B or hostels. Now I got a chance for a quick trip abroad, by myself, and was contemplating the idea of hostels since I always had a great time and met wonderful people on my solo trav…

Do you sometimes feel like staying and doing nothing in your hotel/hostel room? Happens to me a lot. I’m not big fan of being constantly on the move from site A to B. I like taking a 3-4 hour open window till my next itinerary. Till that time, I just stay in my hotel room and waste time on my phone. It tends to happen with places like NYC or Barcelona where tourist sites separated by long distances. submitted by /u…

Chilled hostel in Medellin Colombia? I’ll be in Medellin for about a week. I like a party every now and then, but I like to spend a good bit of time chilling as well, sipping a beer, reading a book. Basically doing nothing. I’ve been to Colombia before but never to Medellin. For some reason I’m imagining just non stop cocaine fuelled parties in the hostels every night like a frat …

LPT Request: How to make staying in hostel less daunting? Staying is hostel while traveling can go really good or really sour.

What can I do in a hostel if I don’t drink So basically I come from a religious background and have never went clubbing or gotten drunk, and I find it quite hard to socialize and enjoy my time in hostels since most of the socializing happens at night at the bar. I tried to hangout with a few groups in the past but I’ve always felt like the third wheel, also they mostly share about their …

Can anyone recommend homestay/hostel locations in Sa Pa/Vietnam? I’m going to Sa Pa for 2 days in a couple weeks. I’m hoping to pick a nice hostel or homestay with a private room for myself and my girlfriend. Normally I just do some googling and check out Hostelworld but all the hostels here seem to be riddled with repetitive reviews that say the same weird thing over and over again, that I’m assuming are fak…

Female solo traveller feeling uncomfortable in my hostel. Should I leave? I’m in a hostel in Montenegro. I chose it because of the good reviews. I’m a female in a mixed dorm. Not only does the door to the room not close properly, but the bathroom in the room has a broken lock. The amount of times I’m having people barge in while I’m on the toilet is insane. People aren’t even knocking when they see the door closed. Li…
