6 months of credit not useful. Won't be using again, would advise avoiding.
Second report was about a hostel Hyde Park in London, where I had severe bed bugs and my entire body was covered with huge bites and by arms, chest, back swollen from severe bites, see photos sent. Hostelworld wrote only to say they have no control over the way the hostels run its property and I should take it up with the manager. I did and explained to Hostelworld that the manager did nothing except to offer to wash my clothes in case bugs got on my clothes. No intervention from Hostelworld. You see, they get their fees from all hostels and they get their fee from travelers like ourselves when we book through Hostelworld. It is called"double dipping" but they dont give a damn except to collect their fees. It is all they care about. They offered to give you back their 2 or 3 euros, dollars deposit. Doesnt matter how badly you are injured or that you have been a loyal member. They are a money making machine and its all they care about. From now on travleres, book directly with the hostels and get a better rate. No fees to Hostelworld they dont deserve and any good hostels anyway will accommodate you if they are truly a 10 star rating or a bit lower. I have established some good relations with some of these hostels and they are very appreciative of my business and have offered good rate as I continue to support their hostel.
There's a big scam going on here
I lost €120 without even seeing their hostel
Better go for BOOKING.COM
I spoke with several hostelworld employees via email, they mispelt my name. They insist the booking is non refundable.
I spoke with Elaine, she literally could care less about me losing my money.
Cancelled booking, offered credit instead of refund to account, useless, especially during these critical times.
The website says you can cancel 24h before, we wanted to cancel one week before we were going but it still isn't possible. Not the service you would expect if you take a look at the website.
