Why myHostels
Hostel hunting shouldn't mean walking gate to gate, or wiring money to someone you've never met.
Every hostel is visited in person and its coordinates captured at the gate. If it's listed, someone stood there.
Contact details go straight to the person who runs the hostel — no agents, no viewing fees, no middlemen.
Money never passes through myHostels, so there's nothing for a scammer to intercept. You pay the hostel, directly.
