The search box below will search across the entire HostelManagement.com site, including the hostel directory, the Hostel Management Wiki, and the forums.

HostelManagement.com has a new beta feature called Hostel Chat.

The goals of HostelManagement.com are to promote hosteling from the side of the hostels, and to improve the quality of hostels by providing information and resources for managers and owners.

You can now follow hostelmanagement.com on Twitter, Pownce, and Tumblr.

I modified the site so that hostels can now add and edit their own listings. If you are associated with a hostel, just visit the add a hostel page and follow the new instructions.

The hostel listing will be held in temporary moderation, but will appear within hours or days instead of weeks.

Please read the instructions carefully.

If you own or manage a backpacker hostel and would like to list your hostel in our hostel directory, please login or register to create a hostel listing.

We've been hard at work adding new features to HostelManagement.com.

Hostels have been requesting to be listed on HostelManagement.com so we've created a free hostel directory. To add your hostel to the directory, please visit the add a hostel page.

We also have a HostelManagement MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/hostelmanagement. If you have a MySpace account, stop by and add us.

More features coming soon...
