Amazing place to stay in JBR
Amazing place to stay in JBR! The hostel is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the sea view is beautiful. The location is perfect—close to the beach, Metro, Tram, supermarkets, and restaurants. Great facilities, fast WiFi, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended for tourists, students, and professionals. Definitely one of the best hostels in Dubai!

The website is lighthearted and easy to use
The website is really great , easy to use , great aesthetic, search and filters work perfectly and I am absolutely in love with the mailing system and prompting also the little messages that pop up like the one after a session expires makes the overall experience more fun and lighthearted.

I’d loved my stay at the BUFFALO Hostel. The restaurant is really nice. I wasn’t sick once during my stay. There is a large choice of food. There is also a nice Jacuzzi with hot water! The staff was really nice and helpful for every problem. Everyday between 7pm to 8pm there’s free beer for everyone! And on Sunday, there also a free barbecue, and cocktails. I would recommend this place for any kind of travelers, from all over the world! The rooms are very nice, there AC and confortable mattress.

Hostel was very clean and good AC system.
Hostel was very clean, quiet, and located right in the city center. I was able to check in early without paying any extra fee. After checking out, I left my luggage in the baggage room and came back to collect it shortly before my flight.
The location is excellent—very close to the Old City, Sahil Metro Station, and the seaside boulevard. Most of Baku's main attractions are within walking distance, so you can easily explore the city on foot. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was especially important during the hot weather.
I was very satisfied with my stay and will definitely come back again.

Worst customer support I’ve ever experienced
Worst customer support I’ve ever experienced. I booked a room through Hostelworld and paid a non-refundable deposit. The property itself cancelled my reservation — not me — yet Hostelworld refuses to refund the deposit, even though I never asked for or agreed to any cancellation. I contacted their support multiple times and got vague, unhelpful, copy-paste answers that don’t address the actual issue. When something goes wrong, Hostelworld is simply unreachable and offers zero real assistance. If your booking runs into any problem, don’t expect any help from them. Extremely disappointing for a platform that’s supposed to protect travelers.

I was looking for cheap but decent hostel in my destination city. Booking.com wasn't helping me, so I downloaded HostelWorld and it was my salvation. I found a match just after 15 mins of searching. Wonderful user experience!
