May 01, 2003Hostels to get star ratings"You need not squirm amid rats, bed bugs and dope-smoking backpackers and call it a holiday ever again. The federal Minister for Tourism, Joe Hockey, launched a star ratings system last night to sort out Australia's burgeoning backpacker industry." Personally, I think this is a good idea. The cost to the hostel owner (A$100) is not prohibitive and anything that gives the backpackers more information about what they can expect from the hostel is a good thing. What do you reckon?

Nice find Chris - I think it is a great idea. Some hostels can be horrible - and if a owner know it, they may not pay for it to be included. Posted by: Sean on May 2, 2003 06:50 AMPost a comment
