Pros and cons of Hostelworld: Hostel Travel App app for iPhone and iPad

Hostelworld: Hostel Travel App app good for

Really good app actually! Very useful very effective, good dashboard. But not working for now. I cant open it. Can you fix it please ? I really need this Im about to travel around Asia for a while. Thanks !

It would be the perfect app for booking at Hostel World if it werent for two major problems: its impossible to LOGIN and theres no "CANCELATION PROTECTION" option when booking.

Best buddy for a backpacker :) quick to book, easy to pay and secure I never got a problem with my bookings!

This app is the only way I book hostels and it always worked perfectly!

This app is amazing! It lets you do everything you would on a computer. But as it is aimed towards travelers and people who are going to need information on the go, why not put MORE offline information about our bookings? I wish there was a picture of the map around the hostel so we didnt have to use hand gestures to communicate with people on the streets to get to the place (we barely speak german) hahahahha REALLY! Put some pictures of the entrance, a little image of the map. But all offline, please! I love hostelworld! <3 Thx!!!

Awesome! Finally this app, used a lot by me in the past, is not that much a pain the ass anymore. Much more pleasure to use it. Nice design and good usability. Final thought for improvement and my 5th star: please let me set a default number of people as well as default number of nights and default starting search date in the settings.

Some bad moments

A deposit is taken by them over your booking and cancellation is not free !!

Sill Not possible to rate hostels when booking with this mobile app!! Lacking map function that wld display all hostels in the desired area.

no filter to hide dorms no filter for other features prices are mixed, rooms and per pax how can one compare the offers???

NICE new Design. But unfortunately bugs everywhere. Choosing the date - not possible, choosing a filter - not possible. 100% useless by now. Looking forward to an update! (Used on an iPhone 5s)

Why does the darn thing keep crashing when I want to book or add a selection to favourites?

I cant seem to make a booking using this app. The app always crashes/shuts down for me when I try it. The functionality of this app is limited with the crashes - but may still be useful to get general information about a place. Now, Jan. 19/11, the ap doesnt load- just crashes.
