Community Guidelines

Help us keep RateYourHostel a trusted source for student accommodation reviews.

Be Honest and Authentic

Your review should be based on your own personal experience. Do not write reviews for hostels you haven't lived in or visited extensively. Avoid hearsay or rumors. Authentic, detailed feedback is the most valuable contribution you can make.

Keep it Constructive

It's okay to be critical, but constructive criticism is more helpful than venting. Explain why you didn't like the food or why the cleanliness was poor. Specific details help both future students and hostel management improve.

Respect Privacy

Do not post private names of staff, other students, or personal contact information. Focus on the facility, services, and general management responsiveness rather than targeting individuals.

Zero Tolerance for Hate

We have strictly zero tolerance for hate speech, harassment, threats, or discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or orientation. Such reviews will be removed immediately and accounts banned.
