Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2016)

When three young guys Paxton( Jay Hernandez), Josh( Derek Richardson), and Oli( Eythor Gudjonsson), arrive in Amsterdam it's party time; or so they think it is? The three of them wonder what to do first. Josh, the smart one, wants to visits a disco; and the others want more action. They first hit the pubs, then go to this one disco at night. There they start trouble and eventually get thrown out. When they return, they realize they are late for curfew. They are locked out for the night, so they are pitching a fit, because it's cold. When they get the attention of another resident, Alex((Lubomir Bukovy), he tells them to come up to his room. There he has a couple doing the wild thing, in front of every one. The guys ask him about girls. Alex ask them if they want to find the best girls, they must travel east Slovakia to the Ukraine. Alex tells them that's where they will find the best, especially Slovakia. Little do Paxton, Josh, and Oli know what Alex truly is. The next day Josh, Paxton, and Oli take the train to Slovakia. While on their way they encounter a strange man, who invades their cabin. The man(Jan Vlasak) tells them he is on his way to meet his daughter. They get to talking and he puts his hand on Josh's thigh. Josh freaks out while his friends laugh it up. The man leaves in a hurry, but it's not the last time they see him.

They go down to the desk and tell the clerk. There the desk clerk tells them that he checked out. Paxton and Josh look at each other, and decide to leave Oli a note.

They kidnap people mainly backpackers, torture them and kill them for big money. Paxton is lucky he escapes along with Kana. Just when he thinks he's safe one thing still stands in his way, he must end it in order to survive this nightmare.
This movie is full of unnecessary gore, and makes Slovakia look like a tourist nightmare. I don't like to praise movies that make a state or Country look like S**T. It's very low class and it hurts the people who live there. The only thing I got out of this movie was a lesson. Don't Be Gullible And Trust Everyone. These kids thought they owned it all and only found trouble. To me Hostel 2 is so much better than the original, it has more of a plot, less F-Bombs, and less gore. So if you want my advice skip the first, and go directly to the sequel.
