When Kayak.com acquired SideStep.com, a hotel review site called Travelpost.com came with the package. Our plan is to turn Travelpost.com into a true competitor to TripAdvisor. Although TripAdvisor is the hotel review leader, we think it's a terrible user experience and we know we can do it better. Our engineering team is in the process of adding the Kayak.com UI to Travelpost.com and then we'll start enhancing the site with better functionality. You'll start hearing about Travelpost.com around the watercooler soon.
Travelpost.com is being turned into an online review search site. It's mostly for hotels, but the few hostels that allocate to hotel engines are listed. Just type the word hostel into the search box to get a list.
