Policies

Negative review policy: In the case that I feel an experience has been negative, contact will be made privately with the brand to offer the opportunity for the addition of an explanatory statement to the article.

For OTAs: TheHostelGirl.com supports the future of hostel brands and direct bookings and so will only consider OTA cooperation or affiliation on a case-by-case basis.

No Follow Links: If we work together I want you to get maximum exposure! Links given in exchange for services can negatively affect a website’s ranking, and so any links created within reviews will be “no follow” in accordance with the Google guidelines.

Disclosure: All articles created in cooperation with a brand will contain a disclosure to keep the trust between myself and my readers.
