From start to finish the backwards and forwards emails between myself and your customer service team have been nothing but frustrating. I have been overcharged by your company with no offer of reimbursement, a flexible booking should not mean that if the room price per night reduces that the client should have to wear an excess cost for booking early. At one point I was even sold a completely different reason for the discrepancy in my pricing however when I pointed out that this could not possibly be the case your customer service staff did a complete backflip and decided to tell a different version of the truth to cover themselves. I would warn people against using your site as a booking platform as much as possible in the future and I will never again be sucked into using it. I have lost $85 AUD on absolutely nothing due to putting my faith in your site as a 3rd party booking platform, I should have simply booked directly through the hostel and then I may still have that money in my possession to do something worthwhile with. You should seriously consider putting a much clearer disclaimer on your website regarding the way in which the 15% booking fee works for flexible booking such as mine, as if I had have known at the time I would NEVER have chosen to book our accommodation through you. HOSTELWORLD IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ATROCIOUS... USER BEWARE
