I had a booking. They told me to fill my information to checkin online. I did fill my exact name, birthday but it didn’t work and then I went straight to that hostel and knocked the door so many times and then there were an old lady and maybe her drunk child stepping out and they refused to help me to check in. I insist on them to help me stepping into, because I showed them my checkin on the app and I did pay but they refused me, the guy did laugh at my face as if im a fool. At the end, they closed the door forever and I had more no chance even though I continued to knock the door. I accepted to lost over 20$, and Uber fees in return is 70$. Total 90$ for that terrible experiences that left me tiredness, exhaustion and tears.😭😓

0/5 stars. They gave me an overnight code that was incorrect/did not work and have been completely unresponsive since my stay was set to occur. If you want a host that is responsive and timely, save your money and time and go with another property that is going to be well worth the extra effort.
