Will I have problems going to other countries after being refused entry to the UK?
Sadly, I was refused to entry to UK at the border when I arrived at Heathrow. I wanted be there as a tourist 6 months, nothing else. Then, from London, I was planning to go to Nepal.
I had all my documents, but couldn't get the hostel booking, as it was full. I didn't think this would be an issue at the border. In the letter I was given by the officer, I was refused under Appendix V [of the immigration rules].
After the officer interviewed me, I was put in a room where I spent the night, before I was sent back to my home country, Chile.
I think this might mean that I am inadmissible to the UK. Will this issue make it more difficult to travel to other countries?
I love to travel, I love to know other cultures and to make a new friends, but with this I feel sad and insecure about my next travels.

I have been refused a UK Tourism visa with a refusal stamp on my passport, since then I have applied for Canadian, USA, and russian visas and got them all. I applied again for UK tourist visa and I have been refused again. I guess this may impact your future UK Visa application but not so much the applications for other visas

Answer 2
In general, other countries won't have the information that you were refused entry to the UK. So the mere fact of your refusal won't be a problem.
What may be a problem is the reason you were refused entry. If the same reason applies in future, other countries may wish to refuse you entry too.
Edit: I see there was a refusal stamp in your passport. That could make things more difficult. You may get asked about it; tell them you didn't realize you needed pre-booked accommodation. Make sure that next time you have pre-booked (at least for the first few days). I would also suggest not planning a trip of six months (that is a very long tourist trip. Also try going to places (in Africa for example?) that are less concerned about people trying to enter the country illegally.
