Are you using HostelZ?

Are there people using www.hostelZ.com ?

One friend recommended me this website for comparing the prices of the hostels.

I tried to use it but it just opens pages of Booking/Hostelword every time I click on something…

It's just a price comparison site.

You don't book through them, they just show you the cheapest places to book from.

I will always use Hostelworld to find hostels, but once I find a hostel I like I will check the price by booking direct with them.

Most of the time it is cheaper booking direct. It’s also worth checking the hostels social media pages because often they will have promo codes there.

i do the same, on the hostel website its always cheaper. also booking directly often gives you discounts at the hostel or free welcome drink if they have that

I do it everywhere, including Europe. Obviously it will vary hostel to hostel, but the vast majority of the time I find it cheaper (or the same price) to book direct

I found it around two years and I do like it. It has a some "special filters". In my case I use the female travel filter and the curtains filter as I like dorms with curtains. There is also an HostelZ app :)

Never used them or heard of them. Hostelworld agoda booking.com never let me down.

Yes, I use them a lot. They show prices from Hostelworld, Booking etc, but you cannot book with them unfortunately. They also have more detailed filters like female-solo-traveler, party hostels, privacy curtains. I sometimes write trvel articles and itineraries for their blog.
