Hostel Owners

Find out how you can feature your site on the busiest hostel website on the internet. Hostels1.com offers a range of opportunities to hostel owners in addition to advanced technology to provide online confirmed reservations for your customers. Hostels1.com is owned by a hostel owner so we understand the importance on an efficient no cost to the owner booking engine therefore keeping the costs down to all travelers. Hostels1.com is different than any other internet booking engine, hostels1.com does NOT charge hostel owner a cent. This site is completely free which allows hostels to keep down their prices to travelers. Other booking engines not only charge hostellers a booking fee but also a 10% fee to the hostel itself which then puts pressure on the hostel forcing them to raise the prices for the hostellers. Hostels1.com is unique because we charge only a five percent booking fee with a $2.50 minimum charge to the hosteller.

Some of the improvements include:

- Reservation system that allows for fast, secure and guaranteed reservations
