- How are hostels verified?

- What information is shown?
- Distance and transport time to campus, plus water supply, power backup, security, curfew, internet and how many share a bathroom.
- When do I pay?
- You book and pay a deposit online before travelling. The balance is held until check-in and inspection.

- Yes. Roommate matching is available for shared rooms.
- What do hostels pay?

- Why should I trust the hostel booking check?
- The score comes from your own answers, worked out in your browser, and it does not check any hostel. CediHostel's free campus housing map shows verified prices, distances and student reviews for the hostels around each campus.
