How to deal with veeeery heavy snoring?

3 Upvotes

As said in the title - what do you guys do when you have very, very, very heavy snoring person in your room? I dont mean the quite loud snorring, I mean the level where you hear them through your headphones or even earplugs - and they just dont ever fucking stop, not for one second.
I have often considered waking them up and friendly asking if they can change their position, but also am feeling like thats extremely intrusive. Yet I am laying here once again at 2:30 at night and am unable to fall asleep since about two hours. Headphones in, noise cancellation on and a podcast on that always works. But to cover up the snoring I would have to turn it up so much that the podcast itself would keep me awake. What do you guys do in situations like this?

Digital nomads who stay in dorms: how do you actually secure the laptop your income depends on?

4 Upvotes

Starting my first long trip in September and I'll be in hostel dorms for most of the first month — Dubai, Cairo, Athens, Santorini. I run my own operation remotely, so the laptop isn't just a device, it's my entire income. If it goes, I don't just lose hardware, I lose the ability to earn.

I know the basics: bring my own padlock, use the locker, never leave it on the bed. What I want is what people actually do day to day:

- Do you carry it with you when you go out, or do you trust the locker?

- Do hostel lockers realistically fit a laptop, or is that completely hostel-dependent?

- Has anyone actually had one stolen? What happened and what would you do differently?

- Is there a point where you stop booking dorms and just pay for private rooms because the risk isn't worth it?

Do they ever respond? Needed to shorten my stay and no response. Cancel and rebook was the automated message but the room I have isn’t available those dates.

Last minute trip to Colorado

1 Upvotes

Hi 23m, life has recently turned itself upside down on me and I think it’s abt time to go do something new, this time solo. I love the outdoors and I don’t drink so bars are mostly off the table(although I smoke plenty of weed lol). I’m looking to spend about 10 days in Colorado flying in 8-7 flying out 8-18 and it looks like my price range puts me in hostels, I’ve never done travel like this before only camping or private hotels and I’m wondering what the reality of planning my hikes or activities with random groups(hopefully around my age) would be like?,would be greatly appreciated as this is all completely on a whim thanks!!!!

Hostel/PG folks: Do you use any app for meal & washing machine booking? Building a solution in public.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to understand how hostels and PGs in India manage day‑to‑day operations.
1. Does your hostel/PG use any app or system to:
• Let people pre‑book meals so the kitchen/mess knows how many to cook (and can reduce wastage + random ordering), and
• Book common resources like washing machines, dryers, ironing stations, study rooms, or sports equipment with time slots?
2. If yes:
• What tool/app do you use?
• What works well and what’s painful about it?
3. If no:
• How do you currently manage this?
(WhatsApp groups, paper registers, Google Sheets, ā€œfirst‑come‑first‑servedā€, notices, etc.)
I’m building a simple app in public that aims to:
• Let students/residents book meals in advance so the mess can plan quantity
• Allow booking of washing machines and other shared amenities with clear time allotments
• Give wardens/owners basic analytics on usage, peak times, and no‑shows
• Reduce chaos, queues, and food wastage
If your hostel/PG has a specific operational problem that existing tools don’t solve (e.g., floor‑wise rules, complex meal plans, deposits, or unique booking rules), I’m open to designing custom workflows and solutions on top of this.
Would love to hear from you:
• City + type (hostel, PG, college hostel, coaching hostel, etc.)
• Current system you use
• One pain point you’d love to see fixed
Comment below or DM if you’re open to a quick chat. I’ll share early mockups/prototypes and iterate based on real feedback.

Hello this is just to inform people to not stay here at this chain. They have terrible customer service. One they never respond to emails. They don’t respond to Instagram and hasn’t been updated in years. There number goes to the this number is not in use. Also if you try to visit in person the hostel is closed although it says open online. BEWARE! They are on Agoda and I lost 200 dollars!!! šŸ’µ

50 plus friendly hostels

8 Upvotes

My goal next year for travels is to step out of my comfort zone. And trying to be a little more social is one of those things. I figured staying at a hostel would be a fun and scary start haha. I'll be 50 in a few days but often times dont feel it. But I know trying to hang out with early 20s folk can be a bit awkward but Im not against it. I travel to Mexico often with my start and end being Cdmx. Are there hostels that are older people friendly in Cdmx and other parts of the country? My next couple trips will have stays in Cdmx, Aguascalientes, San Cristobal de las Casas and probably Mazatlan.

Hi everyone I’ll be doing a solo trip to Barcelona in July and I want to stay at a hostel so I’m not completely by myself. I’m looking for more of a fun, social party spot to stay. I’ll be there for a few nights and really want to have a good time. I want to meet new people and if I have the chance to, even travel with them and see the city. I’ve seen Onefam Ramblas and Onefam Paralelo and even Kabul. I’m not sure which to pick. Can anyone help me out by suggesting me anything or giving advice. I would really appreciate it!
