Description
🛠️ Feature: Hostel Archive & Comparison System
We're taking inspiration from the existing Project Archive and modifying it into a Hostel Listing & Comparison system. This feature allows users to browse, filter, rate, review, and compare hostels based on detailed parameters.
🎯 Goal
To help students and tenants explore hostel options with detailed filters, star-based ratings, and user reviews — and to allow side-by-side comparison of two hostels.
