Every listing is reviewed by our team. Add a “book direct” perk — a free drink or early check-in — to stand out.
HostelsDirect.org is shaking up how hostels get found. We run on a mostly not-for-profit model: after keeping the lights on, the money from listing fees goes back into marketing the platform. So every hostel that joins makes the advertising budget bigger for everyone.
Each flat yearly fee adds to a shared pot. No commissions, no surprises.
That pot goes into campaigns, social and partnerships that bring travellers to HostelsDirect.
More travellers find you and book direct on your own site. Then the cycle starts again, a little bigger.
🐐 It's a flywheel: the more of us there are, the louder we get together.
Live in days, not weeks.
Tell us about your hostel and link your booking website.
Our team checks photos, contact details and that your site is live.
Your listing goes live with your first 4 months free.
Travellers land on your site and book direct. On Pro, you track every click.
Startup incentive: no charge until your free period ends. Cancel anytime before your first yearly payment.
Example: a hostel taking €60,000 a year through an OTA at 15% commission pays €9,000. With HostelsDirect it's €100 or €220 a year, flat — that's €8,780 or more back in your pocket.
Takes about two minutes. We'll review your listing and email you when it's live.
