Thank you so much for making this a feature.I've used the chat to meet many travelers!I find it helpful. Because of the chat feature, I can ask people where I should visit, where the best place to see the sunset is, etc. And I’m able to see which people stay with me at the same place, etc.It is quite fun, but the biggest thing is how useful it is. It is what sets it apart from other options when booking hostels.Yes, very useful for solo travelling!The chat function is exceptional and is a really great way to connect with other travellers! Especially if you find yourself in a less-than-social hostel or are travelling in off-season!The same call, in code.
