Built for Dorms, Groups & Bed‑Level Inventory

Hostels aren't hotels. You sell beds as well as privates, you hold space for groups, and dorm layouts change. Hostel Mate keeps your beds, rates, and restrictions in sync everywhere, so your team can get back to guests, not grids.

  • Bed‑level mapping: sell individual bunks, whole rooms, or packages, your call.
  • Group holds & provisional bookings: reserve space without wrecking your availability stats.
  • Flexible setups: mixed‑gender dorms, privates, pop‑up configurations, no remapping drama.

Works with the OTAs You Already Use

Connect once, manage everywhere. Push rates, availability, and restrictions to Hostelworld, Booking.com, Airbnb and other top channels; pull confirmed reservations back into your dashboard in real time.

  • Two‑way sync: bookings and changes flow both ways, instantly.
  • Pooled inventory: when a bed sells on one channel, it's removed from the rest.
  • Per‑channel smarts: we handle capability differences (cancellations, derived rates, etc.).

  • Soft‑night boosts: gentle undercut on slow days to keep beds moving.
  • Direct advantage, ethically: make your site compelling with packages, member rates, and value‑adds.

  • The big three for hostels, Hostelworld, Booking.com, Airbnb, plus additional OTAs. Feature support can vary by channel; we handle the differences for you.
  • Yes. Pooled inventory and two‑way real‑time sync prevent oversells across connected channels.
