Hostelbookers lives up to its name I just booked two hostels through Hostelbookers. All went well as usual. I learn a lot from reading the "least favorable" as well as the enthusiastic reviews. Two suggestions: I would like the option to filter by reviews from 41+ age travelers. Also would welcome a Paypal option.

Easy and friendly. Never had a problem with them upon arrival to the new place Easy and friendly company for the young people. Several times in Amsterdam I booked a day before the arrival and had no poblem checking in.

Good but not perfect Hostelbookers is one of my favorite places to book my stay. I never had any problems with the reservation after arrival, everything went smooth and nice. There is a one thing you have to know (at least it was a bit surprising for me, but I haven't read the small text underneath the transaction details :)) - the payment is always converted into British pounds, so if you have a bank account in some other currency you have to pay additional fee, so at the end it costs you a bit more.

goood no fees, very easy

Hostelbookers Rocks! I am very impressed with the ease of the use of the site and booking process. I was most pleased with the hostel, Independente, in Lisbon, that I stayed at. It was the first hostel I have ever stayed at in my entire life and though the experience may be ´´spoiling´´ me for the rest ...because it is quiet an unusual hostel....I have no qualms that Hostelbookers will be relied on going forward for all of my future needs.
