Rating layout improved for hostels’ microsites
Here at Hostelworld.com we have redesigned our rating chart so seeing the overall percentage mark for each hostel has never been easier. This is thanks to new images used for the hostels rating.

The new layout also makes seeing the average mark for each category – character, security, location, staff, fun and cleanliness – much easier. New features have also been added enabling you to sort the ratings by the following categories: top rated, lowest rated, age group, nationality and more.

After every stay backpackers who book their hostel on Hostelworld.com are asked to rate their stay based on the above criteria. The average rating is then taken from each category rated by the backpacker giving visitors to the site an accurate and up to date review of the hostel.
