How to discover if a hostel is more a travel hostel or a party hostel?

I’m posting this as a representative of Hostelz.com.

There definitely are some very different types of hostels, and it’s always a shame when people end up in the wrong type of hostel for them. If you’re using Hostelz.com, on the city page look for a drop-down menu that says “Suitable For” (just under the booking form at the top of the page). You can use that to filter the hostels by things like “partying” or “quiet rest”.

Aside from that, I’ve found that the photos tend to be a pretty good indication, including the reviewer photos. Party hostels are almost always the ones that have at least one photo of a bunch of people smiling at the camera holding their drinks in the air.

I’ve found that reviews help, but also that on most hostel review sites, they’ll mention ratings of ‘atmosphere’. If that’s a high rating, odds are good that it’s a party hostel.

Also if they mention group tours or cheap drinks, or have a bar inside (although I’ve seen exceptions to that last one).
