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.

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.
