Suspicious-review evidence
≈99 possibly bought · 1011 top-rated reviews scanned
Explain how it works
We compare every 5★ review's word count against the global distribution. Hostels where unusually many top-rated reviews are suspiciously short — way under the typical length — start to look like the staff (or a boost-my-listing service) is padding the score with throwaway praise.
The detector flags reviews that are both top-rated and below a length threshold, then estimates how many of them statistically shouldn't exist. For this hostel we scanned 1011 top-rated reviews and 0% were suspiciously short.
Length z-score: 6.91. A z-score measures how far this hostel's distribution of 5★ review lengths sits from the global average, in standard deviations. 0 = perfectly typical. 1–2 = slightly unusual but within normal noise. 3–5 = strongly anomalous. Anything 10+ means the pattern is so far from the global norm that it's effectively impossible to get there organically.
This is a heuristic, not a verdict — it surfaces hostels worth a second look, not proof of fraud. Read the actual reviews below and judge for yourself.

10/10 value for money
Jeg overnattede her 2 natter, fik family dinner begge aftener og tog på deres Canyoning tur - hvor vi blandt andet rapellede ned af 3-4 vandfald. Alle ansatte på hostellet var meget søde. 10/10 value for money.

Review-authenticity complaint
review is not considering the truly low price paid
the 9.4 review is not considering the truly low price paid, with that in mind it should be a 10.6 out of 10!

Review-authenticity complaint
suspicious. Reviews
Wouldn’t recommend this property. Wasn’t clean, had money stolen from my bag, multiple people I’ve spoken to in the last month have also had this. Staff were extremely pushy to get us to book things through the hostel. All seems very suspicious. Reviews are not written by real names. DO NOT BOOK.

Pressure to leave a review
pressured guests to leave 5* review
Provided early check in with a fee and family dinner was a good way to meet people, but, the room was very cramped. Bathroom door did not lock and floor was very dirty during my whole stay. Common area often smelt of cigarettes as some staff and guests were allowed to smoke inside. Staff also pressured guests to leave 5* reviews and some people even had their phone taken off them so staff could leave reviews themselves. Some people charged 500k to store luggage, others not charged anything.

The two front desk boys and the other staff were particularly good, I was eating out on the street and this led to acute gastroenteritis they were all very concerned for me, and asked if I wanted to cook and drink for me.The tour has all the facilities and is very close to the city centre, this price to stay in such a new place and the geographical location is also very good.
两位前台小哥和其他工作人员都特别好，我在街上乱吃了东西导致急性肠胃炎他们都特别关心我，还问我要不要煮粥给我喝。青旅设施齐全而且离市中心特别近，这个价格能住到这么新的地方并且地理位置还很好真的很幸福了。大叻很好，我下次还要再来🥹🥹

Always cheerful staff, employees' training attitude is good. commendable! this place to buy things is a little bit a little bit far, disadvantages. facilities? don't know where the clothes are, can't use the kitchen myself! front desk on the first floor is a little bit, music is loud! but rejuvenation likes a little bit! i'm mainly looking for a quiet place waiting to go. overall good, recommended! there are a variety of activities, rental cars, tour groups, there are likes can come! everyone in every country has them!
总是欢乐的员工，员工工训态度不错。值得称赞！这个地方买东西稍微有点点远，缺点么。设施么？不知道晾衣服的地方在哪儿，自己不能使用厨房！一楼前台有点吵，音乐声音很大！不过年轻化喜欢稍微吵闹一点的！我主要找个安静地方待着就行 总体不错，值得推荐！有各种活动，租车，旅行团，有喜欢的可以来！各个国家人都有！
