“Before I’d even touched down for my Dublin trip, I already had plans for a pub crawl on my first night, followed by a sightseeing day at the Cliffs of Moher!” – Courtney
“We booked a hostel in Edinburgh and used the app to plan a hike up Calton Hill with other mostly solo travellers. We had such a nice conversation at sunset then went for pints afterwards.” – Seif

Sucks

Mishaa_ru on

This company is kind of thief. Didn’t refund any money. Just sucks.

Unwanted marketing

Kristoj on

United States

Once you download the app, be prepared for loads of unwanted notifications telling you to “fall in love with travel again” by booking a hostel in Thailand or whatever. Not only did they not ask my permission to blow up my phone with marketing notifications, there is no way to disable them in the app. Just book directly, cut out the middleman.

They don't refund a deposit

never useeeeeeee on

United States

You get the app to sign in, it sends you to web....that says "Get App" to sign in! Just a piece of junk. Just goto Bookings .com

No need to require latest iOS

ImpulseAddict on

United States

You can update your app w/lower build targets without requiring users to update to the latest iOS. That would mean only people with new iPhones can use your services, while blocking out users of older devices. Other apps don’t do this as often.

An honest review

Honest review 123456 on

United States

The St. Christopher in Paris France is a dumb. The rooms are not maintained. Contact paper was used to cover the steal table, and was worn and torn. Someone had pealed back some of the contact paper only to have exposed other layers of contact paper from before. The floor are not real wood floors but are vinyl flooring that looks like wood and that too is also worn in places. The private bathroom door handle was broken and just hanging there. The staffs response when I told them about the bathroom door was, “That’s a private bathroom what are you doing in there?” Not we will have maintenance fix that right away. By the way I have photos and I showed them to the staff and they could care less! Also be very careful what you book because the hostel doesn’t describe the rooms as dormitory rooms. You don’t find that out until you book your room. This was by far the worst experience that I have ever had staying someplace!!! The free drink that you get when you check in is for either a pop/soda Pepsi products, or a glass of juice. Also the free drink special at 20:00/8:00P.M is some sort of sweet drink that they make up in large batches, and if you are a nonalcoholic drinker like myself, you are out of luck because they will not offer you a free soda, an 0.0 alcoholic beverage. This establishment gets a 1 star from me.
