HostelManagement.com was created in 2004 by Josh Cohen as a free resource for hostel managers and owners. It is also a place for people who are looking for resources on how to start a hostel.

If you're new to the site, download our free PDF guide on How to Use HostelManagement.com.

We specifically focus on hostels that provide budget-oriented, dormitory accommodation to travelers (define hostel).
