Don't use Hostelworld.com!
WRI or web reservations international (Hostelworld's parent conpany) is a venture capital owned company with poor support and high staff turnover. They care little for users of thier booking platforms (hostles.com, Hostelworld.com and hostelbookers.com) and even less for their customers aka accommodations that list rooms on their systems. Travelers always loose commission paid when they book, not a penny of this goes to the accommodation, ever. The onus is on the accommodation to collect any balance due in cash as WRI will not disclose any information about the traveler.
Travelers will get a better rate by window shopping on Hostelworld and then booking directly with the accommodation. Accommodation providers should really watch out about cancelations as they will find it very difficult to collect any cancellation charges as Hostelworld.com will not pass on any details to charge the guest.
Hostelworld.com is the worst reservation channel. Don't work there, dont book with them and only use them to sell your rooms with extreme caution and prejudice.
