We are so misunderstood.

Hosteling in the USA has long been misunderstood.

The Hostel Collective agrees with our members - hostel owners and managers - we need to build awareness of the excellence of American hosteling.

We also believe our members deserve to spend more time with guests, and less time stressed.

Excitedly, we announce a travel site exclusively dedicated to US hostels, offering your hostel a listing that is commission-free, with no hidden fees or contracts, easy to set up (literally), and driven to deliver more direct bookings through your own website!

Hosteling.US launches in April 2023.

A free, simple-to-navigate, but vigorous site will lure travelers to plan their hostel stays when sight-seeing the US. With targeted ads and spirited content, Hosteling.US will quickly become a popular first stop for our favorite demographic of travelers.

Be one of the first 50 US hostels to list and take advantage of a one-time price of only $170. Those late to the game will see a fee of $300. Listing fees are a flat rate, paid once annually.

Let’s wrestle back some of the power from incorrigible OTAs and fill your beds with the best travelers!
