We list all hostels in the world completely free of charge. Even if a hostel is not using a booking website (but has their own website or social media profile), we will list it on Hostelz.com. Hostel owners and travellers can add hostels directly via this page.
No. Hostels do not have the possibility to pay higher commission or fix payments to be favored on Hostelz.com. We do not charge hostels for listing their property on our page, nor do we charge our readers for using our website to find hostels. Therefore, none of our listings are favoured by us on a profit basis. Our hostels are all rated based on genuine customer reviews.
A hostel rating represents all of the genuine customer reviews for that property. We pull data from major booking websites (booking.com, Hostelworld & Hostelsclub), and also allow Hostelz.com users to leave reviews directly on a hostel listing page. Our system automatically updates the rating as more reviews are left.
We show you the current prices in all of the booking systems at once so that you can make your booking on whichever site has the lowest price. Because prices vary between the booking sites, you can often save >20% off the price of the same bed or room. Just remember that Hostelz.com is not a booking site. We simply compare rates for you so you can travel for cheaper and longer.
We use affiliate links with the major booking websites and receive a small percentage of each booking made through our site. This means that there is absolutely no extra cost to the user for using our site.
