Even on your honeymoon you stayed in a hostel – that was brave! Sounds like it worked out well.

Before I read a couple of such posts as I always find them super helpful. Definitely saving this too!

Perhaps the nicest one was in New Zealand where there were four bunks to a room. The young guy already in our room immediately realised we were a couple and offered to see if he could move elsewhere to give us privacy. Fortunately, there was space at that time for him to do that. As we were on our honeymoon (he didn’t know that) we were especially grateful.

Maybe carry printed copies with you, then you could hand them out! Just saying.

Great tip. And a very true one also!

As long as we respect each other in hostels I think we have a good stay. And that is how it should be!

Great advice on how to properly do things when staying with others.

When I was younger, I stayed in my fair share of hostels when I traveled and these tips are a must. The hostels that I have stayed in have been fairly new and renovated with most housing between 2-4 people. I did stay in an 8 person room at the Generator Hostel in London and had a good experience by following many of your etiquette rules.

I’d add that if you buy food to store in the kitchen or refrigerator, but sure to label it with your name and date. The staff need to know if they can toss something or not.

Great post!
