    Default Free Online Marketing - Small Business and Hostel Directories

    Following up on my first blog post on 10 Free Places to List Your Hostel Online, I've just written another post with 10 more directories where you can add your hostel(s).

    Highly recommended, and easy to do.

    Thanks for adding us to the list mate.

    I noticed that you have forgotten BUG. We've been around since 1997 and were the very first hostel review site.

    Our goal is to list every single hostel (although we do have a few missing, especially in Africa and Asia). Let us know if your hostel isn't on our site.

    Sorry about that. I'll put Bug.co.uk at the top of the list of Part 3 (coming soon).

    You could add
    www.uktrail.com
    for hostels in Great Britain.

    I do have certain criteria, but I guess most sites do, so I don't need to specify that. I'd certainly like to know about any hostels in Gt Britain.

    I wont ask you to add
    www.small-hostels.com
    as in this case the criteria are sufficiently rigorous that I don't want it mentioned in a list that would trigger loads of invalid applications. And unfortunately I currently have no time to spend on it.

    What about
    hostelz.com
    hotelworld.com
    hostels.com


    I think those are free too

    Hostelworld.com and Hostels.com (WRI) charge a 10% commission on all bookings that go through their site, so it's not really free.

    Hostelz.com seems to update itself from the booking engine data, but I'm not sure. I'll look into it and possibly list them...
