When I was travelling, I met a pretty nice and polite hostel owner who cared his guest so much to an extent that he made a comprehensive 150-page manual guide about every detail of his hostel. When a guest asked anything, he smiled, and said politely and confidently "Turn to the page 62 and you will see it". On the surface of the refrigerator for self-service mini bar, there were 11 rules!
we all hate "rude service", "ill knowledgeable staff", "dirty rooms" , "overcharging", "unattended locker room" , "cold water shower" and most people work hard to avoid it, but besides these common factors that contribute to a negative review, have you seen any "hostels has made something with a good motive but in a way that you feel dissatisfied.
What are these?

That sounds interesting... I would be interested in seeing his 150-page manual. :)

Push-button showers suck. They are supposed to use less water and save money, but I can't stand using them.
A hostel in Spain put red filters on all of the lights in the dorms so that they would look cool and not be too bright at night when inconsiderate people switched them on. They got a lot of complaints from guests that they weren't bright enough to be useful at any hour of day or night.
Charging for sheets on top of the nightly rate drives me nuts. It encourages guests to use sleeping bags and begs them to infect the hostel with bedbugs.

I'm going to add that tip to the Wiki on the Start a Hostel, Hostel Reviews, and Bed Bugs pages...
