What do you think? …

I understand the decision to go with iOS first, but maybe having a web version would also be an option? Also, what are your criteria for 'top'? If based on reviews, which website(s) do you use?
Chris Piazza
@footer thanks for the feedback. If the demand is there, i’ll definitely expand to other platforms. For now the criteria is pretty simple, it is the top rated hostels with availability for the dates selected. The ratings come from my booking partner, Hostelworld. The plan is to refine the criteria as I get more feedback.

Hello Product Hunt! I built this app to solve a problem I had when I was booking accommodations, too much choice. I always have 3 apps open, searching through reviews of tons of accommodations before I would book. I wanted to make that process a bit easier, so I thought that returning only the top 5 rated hostels w/ availability for the requested dates would help cut through the clutter. I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks! -Chris

why only 5?
Chris Piazza
@lisadziuba hey Lisa, that’s for your feedback. I wanted to limit the noise, and I felt like 5 was a good number where you had some choice, but you weren’t overwhelmed.

@lisadziuba @chris_piazza I feel that too. Instead of searching among dozen of pages of bookings with the anxiety that there may be another offer more suitable for you, how about letting the app decide what's best for your (with great accuracy hopefully).

Android, please?!?

I think this is a great idea for an app because it’s become so complicated to book a trip with all the options available and you always feel like you’re missing out if you haven’t checked at least 15 websites. The problem in my opinion is that there is only one picture of each hostel and it’s also covered by a dark semi transparent overlay which means I will have to check other websites in order to see more pictures which kind of defeats the purpose.
Chris Piazza
@anna_0x Hey Anna, thanks for the feedback. If you tap the header picture on the hostel details page (the screen after choosing a hostel), you will get a carousel of images for that hostel. I should probably better indicate that this is there, haha.

Why is it better than booking.com?
Chris Piazza
@maria_yelena_zalatova the idea is to just cut through the clutter that you get when searching booking.com or other OTA’s. Limit the results so you can make an easier decision.

I like the idea,nice that someone made it even more simple to find a hostel and don’t loose time searching out of all the many options!

Pros:

Easy to use,simple&intuitive controls. Exactly what Inneed in my app collection,great job!

Cons:

No cons,happy with the app!
