Trouble booking on hostelworld.com?

[stlinzinfandelin]

OK, no one else is probably trying to book hostels at 10PM on a Friday night, but hey, it's raining outside.

Anyway, I booked my first hostel fine, and now I'm having trouble getting the site to work. I keep getting an error when I try to pay, saying I need to contact world pay, and the site is REALLY slow. If anyone else happens to be trying to book right now, are you having problems too? It's driving me insane!

oh, sure, as soon as I post this it works... now let's see if it takes me an hour and a half to book my next one!

I came across a thread on LP regarding the reviews at Hostelworld: thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/messagepost.cfm?postaction=reply&catid=53&threadid=1366238&messid=11983212&STARTPAGE=1&parentid=0&from=2

good news:

Hostelworld changed their policy this week. Bad reviews can´t be censored any more.

APPLAUSE!

Indeed that is a good thing.
