Save More, Stress Less with Nomod
Your money should travel as smoothly as your guests.
Why Hostel Mate Loves Nomod
Running a hostel is a razor-thin margins. Nomod's low, transparent fees - 1.5% + 20c domestic, 2.9% + 30c international - mean you keep more of every reservation instead of watching profits vanish into processing charges.
Better yet, hostels in Dubai and Riyadh saw 23% faster confirmations after adding Nomod. When travelers spot Mada, Apple Pay, or Google Pay at checkout, they click "Book Now" without a second thought.
Connect Nomod in Three Simple Steps
You don't need to be a developer - just follow our Nomod Setup Guide:
1. Copy your Nomod API keys.
2. Paste them into Hostel Mate's payment settings.
3. Run a quick €0.50 test charge.
That's it - you're live before the espresso machine heats up.
Built for Gulf & Global Backpackers
Nomod speaks the native language of payments across MENA. Mada boosts Saudi conversions, BenefitPay covers Bahrain, and STC Pay keeps UAE guests happy - all alongside international Visa and Mastercard rails. One gateway, every traveller.
Last Ramadan, an Istanbul hostel grew Middle East bookings by 40% simply by switching to Nomod. Cultural payment preferences matter - Nomod handles them so you can focus on beds, not bank codes.
Everyday Wins for Your Team
- Front-desk staff see real-time payment status, automatic deposit captures, and one-tap refunds - so they spend less time chasing declined cards and more time recommending the best falafel spot in town.
- Nomod's smart retry logic recovers many failed payments automatically, trimming no-show headaches and keeping occupancy high. Management exports reconcile in seconds, not Sundays.
Real Savings, Real Stories
We saved €2,300 in fees last season - enough to buy new surfboards and treat the staff to a proper night out.
Maria, Hostel Sunrise Barcelona
Whether you run a desert camp in Wadi Rum or a rooftop hostel in Belgrade, Nomod's low fees add up quickly. Put those savings towards better Wi-Fi, fresh linens, or just a well-earned day off.
