Vent: My cheap hostel in Lisbon had a hidden fee I didn't see coming

Booked a bed for 12 euros a night last month, thinking I'd scored. When I got there, they charged an extra 5 euros per day for 'city tax' and 'linen fee' that wasn't clear on the booking site. It added 35 euros to my stay, which blew my food budget. Has anyone else had this happen with those super low listed prices?

Always check the final checkout page, not just the first price you see.

Ugh, that's why I double-check everything like @mason.brian said, but even that can't catch all their tricks.

Yeah those hidden fees are such a scam, lol. Always gotta read the tiny print.
