They always had that feature, it just didn´t appear in the last months. No idea why.
Hostelworld's "Top Rated" Hostels
Hostel Reviews, Booking Engines, and Directories
Hostelworld just started featuring hostels as "Top Rated". Just go to any listing page like this one and sort by rating.

The first 3 hostels get a "Top Rated" mark and gold star.

But it does not apply for everyone! Rethymno and ourselves have just received our "Top Rated for 2008" stickers but we don't get a "Star" on our page.

Inconsistency again! Either you are a top rated hostel, and I have the new sticker to prove it, or you are not!

I guess every hostel on hostelworld received that sticker :D
We have two hostels and both got these stickers...to be honest: 2 stickers for every place...i think at has nothing to do with the online rating, because we were never applied for any hostelworld award...
Just another way of promotion. But the "recommended by Let´s Go " stickers on our door look even better....

I talked with HW about that feature.
It is appear at the first 3 top rated hostels in each city, but only if they have more than 50 reviews.
They explain that the idea is to be easier for travelers to see the best hostels in the city. And the best means no 98% of 18 reviews:)
I think that idea is good.

Top rated hostel means that the people rated your hostel more than other hostels. Doesn't mean high rated hostel...
Also they look at your no of beds in your hostel, no of bookings and of course no of ratings. Comparing those figures, they get the Top Rated Hostels for each city. After that only 3 hostels will get the golden star.
I use the red binder a lot to find out how !;)
