I really beleive this guy has a problem rather than the hostel.
Come on, of course you will get the chance to sleep surrounded by snorers, drunk people, or people making their bed at 5a.m>>> well, until now i never met the last category, as we met, and spoke together, and decided not to bother each other and so, packing the night before. Anyway, even if you experienced these three categories, you are in an hostel, you know you had a great chance to experienced it. But he agreed with that.
Then, he tried to say that because of the hostel, he met some people and because of them he didn't do what he planned to do????? what the **** !!!!!!! Is he seriously thinking it is the fault of hostels and new people????
Of course in hostel you will meet people, that is one of the main goal of hostel !!!! social life, meeting new travelers, enjoying the country and city with them !
Most of the time yes they will propose you to join them, follow them, go and see what they planned to see. And here, YOU HAVE THE CHOICE to say yes, or to nicely deny, explaining what you wanna see, maybe they will follow you, join you. But YOU ARE the one who choose to go with them and change your plans, knowing the consequences (not seeing all of what you wanted), the hostel and the friends you met have nothing to do with it.
second, if he is complaining now, it means that he actually regrets to have met these people, and the trip he did with them. By doing a trip with the friends he met, did you have some fun? did you took some pictures? did you learn something you didn't know? and you still complaining? Complain only for good reasons : the trip was more than awful, bored, and you ended up sequestered in the middle of spiders or anything else !!!! ;)
By saying, no i am not going to do that with you, you do not loose your friends, at all, you can meet them later, when your plan for the day is done, you can propose them to follow yours. You have to be independant, you're the one who as to plan your trip, and who is in charge of it, if it is not happening how it should be, it is most of the time your fault (exept of course if the plane you wanted to took crashed !). Be an adult !!! Grow up ! Manage your schedule ! Don't be an ass....le by saying it is the fault of the hostel and people you met ! your life, your choice, your responsability. you say yes to go with them, you can regret it, but do not complain or say it is their fault, it is not, they never muzzled you in order to make you travel with them, just asked you if you wanted... and YOU said yes ! open your eyes, and close your mouth, to stay correct.
that's my comment..... as you said you liked the comments i read them, ..... none of them clearly declares that it is not hostel fault, the comments i can read speak about hostel experienced, but nothing really lied to the writter experience. did i miss understood something?

I am a businessman and travel all around the World for my business, and it is a major problem with all visitors who stay in hostels. I found in my room mates some one sleep early and some one drunk.
