Rating out of 5 from TripAdvisor reviews. "Sold out" means no booking site had a bed that night while the hostel had prices on most other nights. "Patchy listing" means the hostel has no price on more than a third of nights, so we don't count its gaps as sold out.

We can watch the hostels you compete with, your room types and further ahead, and tell you when someone moves.
How we work it out
- Every morning we check public prices on the main booking sites for each hostel, for each of the next 90 nights, through TripAdvisor's free price comparison.
- For a hostel the lowest price shown is almost always a dorm bed, so read these as "cheapest bed tonight", not a private room rate.
- Prices are in NZ dollars as advertised. Use the currency picker to convert.
- A night is left out of the typical figure when fewer than half the hostels had a price.
- These are advertised prices, not what guests end up paying. How Rate Pulse works.
