When you have picked a destination, you'll be presented with a list of available accommodation for your chosen dates. You can look at each property in detail from here, and view the location of all the hostels on a map of the destination.

Each property overview page will include images, guest ratings and reviews and details of the facilities it provides. You can view the types of room available for your chosen dates on the property details page. To view the prices in a different currency, select one of the 97 currencies available from the drop-down list.

Once you have decided where you would like to stay, select the number of people you wish to book for in your chosen type(s) of room. Next, check that the dates and the number of nights selected are correct. Then click on the 'Book Now' button.

This will take you to the last step of your booking - the secure ‘Checkout’ page where you need to enter your payment details to confirm the reservation. Once this form has been filled out, you will receive an email from the HostelBookers team with full details of the booking, as well as contact information and directions for the property.
