To all Budget Travellers

Please remember that when you pre-book accommodation on webswites such as:-

www.HostelBeds.com
www.hostelbookers.com
www.cheaphostel.com
www.hostels247.com
www.Hostels.com
www.hostelbookers.com/
www.hostelworld.com

that these companies have ABSOLUTELY NO DIRECT COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER with
the hostel / hotel you are making a booking with.

In other words.........when you think you have a confirmed booking made
through them.........and then when you arrive at your accommodation you find
that no room is available ..............problems!!!!!!!!!!!

These booking sites will gadly take your 10% deposit and then leave you in
the "lurch" when things go badly wrong - as they quite often do !!

This post is merely to forewarn fellow travellers of a potential pitfall
when booking budget accommodation online.

Happy travelling to all !
