Truth of photos!!!
I want to discuss hostel photos that provided by hostel owners. As I mentioned in second factor, hostel photo would give huge benefit to choose your hostel. However, many customers have complained that the pictures don’t do it justice. Most hostel pictures look so fancy (furniture, design, and cleanness) and even look better than expensive hotels’ environment. However, I guaranteed that the hostel photos and real atmosphere are totally different. Most hostel owners used to use Photoshop to change hostel environment for better. Although it makes you so frustrated, it is true and you need to choose hostel with lower expectation.
Then how can we avoid this problem??
- Do not believe hostel owner!!
To get more money, hostel owner usually provide fancy hostel photos and valuable information. However, not all but most of them usually introduce hostel information without truth. Therefore, do not believe all words what from hostel owners.
- Customer Review
Most online booking web service companies provide customer review to share pros and cons of hostels written by real customers. For this reason, you can easily find out review that totally consists of customer point of view.
- Hostel Review website
http://www.hostelworld.com/ is really useful websites. For instance, they provide hostels’ rate that are based on customer review. Therefore, if you do not have time to compare all reviews, you can figure out the hostel factors briefly in that website.
