BUG's books, websites and other publications are current at the time of writing and information may change after the publication date. Every effort has been made to make the content of the books and websites as complete and accurate as possible. However, there may be mistakes, both typographical and in content. Furthermore BUG's guidebooks contain travel information that is current only up to the printing date and BUG's websites are updated only after the books have been sent to the printer and this updating process may take up to six months, during which time information may change.
There are many factors that may cause prices to change and establishments reviewed and listed in BUG's websites and books to close down or alter the services that they offer. Many hostels may also change their prices throughout the year to take advantage of variations in seasonal demand.
The reviews in BUG's guidebooks and the BUG reviews on the BUG websites are the opinion of the BUG reviewer at the time of reviewing. This information is to be used as a general guide and readers should be aware that prices, opening hours, facilities and standards may change over time.
BUG's guidebooks and websites are not intended to be used as a sole source of information, but rather to complement existing sources of information such as word of mouth, travel brochures, timetables, travel magazines and other websites and guidebooks. You are urged to read all the available material and talk to hostel staff and other travellers to learn as much as you can about your travel options.
Hostel reviews submitted by travellers represent the independent opinion of the individual traveller and in no way represent the views of BUG Travel Publishing Pty Ltd or any of its employees. These reviews are the opinion of the individual traveller and may contain information that is incorrect and is subject to change including information on prices, opening hours, facilities, staff and cleanliness. BUG has no control over the accuracy of these reviews and takes no responsibility for the content of these reviews.
BUG provides honest and independent travel advice. BUG Travel Publishing Pty Ltd does not receive any payment in exchange for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
Hostels cannot advertise on the BUG websites or in any BUG publication. Listings of any hostel, transport option or attraction are to be treated as independent reviews and not as advertisements. Because listings are not advertisements, no attraction, or accommodation or transport provider is required in any way to provide their service at the price quoted in the BUG guidebooks or on any of the BUG websites.
Like anything in life, travel entails certain risks. BUG Travel Publishing Pty Ltd and the authors shall have neither liability nor responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any loss or damage caused, or alleged to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by the information contained within BUG's books and websites.
