Got stuck paying $85 for a hostel bed in Barcelona that wasn't even clean
Last summer I walked into a place near La Rambla that looked fine online but the sheets had stains and the lockers didn't work. How do you guys actually vet hostels before you book without relying on fake reviews?

Saw a tip once to check the hostel's own Instagram tagged photos instead of just the main page. The real guest pics never lie. Also maybe try looking for video walkthroughs on YouTube.

That's solid advice from @gibson.morgan... I always check the tagged photos too, the main page is just their best angles.

My cousin booked a place in Barcelona that looked amazing online but the tagged pics showed a totally different story lol.
