Im planning on backpacking through Europe for 60-90 days and wondered is it really a good idea to pay online for hostel reservations in advance? I read other posts saying that its wise to to pay a percentage but all the online sites that ive browsed through require full payment. Has anyone had bad experiences using this method?
