Receiving awards is a great honour for us. It validates our work and the effort we put into it. Which means that, first off, we owe   A BIG THANK YOU to you guys as our guests, because we have been  rated top by you for years. The HOSCARS (HOStelworld Customer Annual Ratings) Hostel awards are given out every year to recognize the best hostels in the world. More than 25,000 properties from across the globe, all featured on Hostelworld.com, are eligible for the awards. The best hostel winners were voted for by over 900,000 customers worldwide who booked their accommodation online and rated and reviewed the hostel on six criteria – character, security, location, staff, fun and cleanliness.
