Users notice issues when the search filters fail to load or when booking confirmations are not generated after a transaction. Rimetry audits the status of this reservation engine from multiple global checkpoints to provide transparency regarding the site's current functional state.
Problems with Hostelworld can affect website, login & authentication, search independently.
