Monopoly...... Much smarter than buying a hotel or three.... Get 10% of almost all hotels, buy out the competition bully owners into releasing all rooms to them and then ratchet up the price..... We need alternatives
first they buy out the competition (hostelbookers), then they increase the rates - which of course the custumer pays in the end. overall dodgy tactics - the awards are not based on custumer reviews anymore and their commission is called 'deposit' to further bullshit the guest booking through them.
Hostels forced to reduce prices; so Hostelworld takes bigger cut of reduced prices? Pure greed!
I don't mind paying more, if the service is getting better. But in fact I am trying to fix something with my listing since beggining of December. After 3-4 e-mail sent and even called, still got no reply. The customer service got really bad lately. Raising comission I find absolutely ridiculous with these circumstances.
I think the main motif behind this move is to catch up with boking.com's service fee. I wonder how we can gain anything from the developments they promise?
Hostelworld is getting greedy and destroying the spirit of what we do
Just close availability in high season and all events in your city

We are all very desapointed at Hi Hostelling International Brazil, over 100 hostel, and we will all block Hostelword bookings from now on!
