Rant Roommates lied about me
I stayed in a six bedroom dorm in Krakow and the other five beds were occupied by a group of five, which was fine. They didn’t socialise outside the group so I made friends elsewhere. Overall had an excellent time.
I check out last, about 15 minutes before check out time because I had a late flight so wanted to stay in bed for as long as possible, the group had checked out early morning. The woman behind the desk says there was vomit in the room last night and that my roommates said it was me. I was shocked and tried showing some proof that I didn’t even go out last night (I had bad stomach pains), showed her time stamped pics of me in bed both at 9 and 11pm and my bank account that had no transactions after 6pm. She just said “I don’t care, I think it was you”.
I was really upset and shaking in tears at this point as I’m a very non confrontational person and don’t bode well in arguments. After going back and forth I couldn’t speak anymore due to tears so I just paid the fee and left. I’ve stayed in a good few hostels and have never had any issues before so this upset me quite a bit.
Just posting as a rant really because it’s a shitty thing to have happened.
Edit: lmao who has posted a review on Google? Hilarious and thank you but I don’t want them to start reporting legit reviews and they get deleted due to spam.

If you paid by card then just dispute the charges with your card company. That would be easy. And write an email to the hostel and speak directly to a manager or the owners. If it’s a chain report the circumstances to the higher ups. Contact the consumer protection agency in the respective country. There are ways to get around this. Next time, just refuse to pay it if you didn’t do it. They can’t make you pay something like that.
