Why this surfaced

Repeated, deduplicated traveler-review reports matched these incident categories:

One report can match more than one category. Counts describe review reports, not independently verified incidents.

These are reports in traveler reviews, not independently verified incidents. Duplicate review text and strong repeat-reviewer identities count once.

Category matches are automated. Relevant passages are exact review quotes selected from concrete incident wording, not hidden model rationales. If none appears, treat the match as suspect and check the full review.

Evidence reviews

    • The teenager receptionist tried to barge into the women's dorm without knocking at night, continuing to push even when I said I was coming to unlock the door.

    Incredibly rude, lazy, and incompetent reception staff, especially the teenager running the reception. The teenager receptionist tried to barge into the women's dorm without knocking at night, continuing to push even when I said I was coming to unlock the door. Obviously toxic person. Dirty walls. Gum stuck to floor. Hot and no air conditioning. Lying about taxes, so it's maybe only $1 cheaper than the nearby hostel with AC that is way better. No loaner shoes. No lockers, obvious security risk
    • Barely saw the staff and got overcharged despite showing them I'd already paid a deposit.

    Nice, clean hostel (cleaner works v hard), but it lacks atmosphere. It's not an way place to meet fellow solo travellers. There seems to be lots of groups staying, so it can be a bit difficult to strike up conversation. Good number of clean toilets and showers, with good water pressure. Rooms are clean but a bit cramped. Barely saw the staff and got overcharged despite showing them I'd already paid a deposit. A fair distance from the City but Yandex is cheap and public transport is available.
    • I walked in on a cleaning lady going through my stuff and smelling my cologne.

    Would not recommend because of lack of security and bad location. I walked in on a cleaning lady going through my stuff and smelling my cologne. This felt quite uncomfortable. Also, the dorm entry is right besides the front door which is never locked. People that are not staying at the hostel seem to be walking in and out all the time. Lastly, I did not get a locker for my stuff because half of them in the dorm were broken.
