In terms of, will the booking be fully processed ? I'm talking about [ux]https://rail.shop/hostelworld[/ux] and sites like that, not booking online on a hostel web page. Thanks

The fee you pay is only the reservation. You will have to pay the rest of the price (it is shown during the booking process) when you check in in the hostel.
If you cancel a hostel booking, the reservation fee is lost - I think you have to cancel 24 hours before arrival.

ok it's just i read somewhere that some group reserved a hostel and when they arrived, it turned out there was no reservation at all, even after they showed their res. e-mail. How often do these things happen, thanks!

Only heard once of such a case the last 5 years. If this is the case, [ux]https://rail.shop/hostelworld[/ux] will refund you the reservation fee and I think the hostel will have a problem with Hostelworld.
But never happened to me or some other friends.

Never faced problems with online booking , neither friends or fellow travellers.
