Start a Hostel!

By Josh • January 26th, 2009

Here are a few resources for people who are thinking of opening a backpackers hostel:

Our Hostel Management Wiki has a guide on How to Start a Hostel, written by experienced hostel managers.

We also have a list of ideas on where to open a hostel.

The how to improve hostel reviews page has information on keeping the hostel rating high.

We also have an active hostel forum where you can ask questions about opening hostels. Hope to see you there.

Great article, it is simple and direct enough.

It presents everything you could need to jump over the hostels business world or to probably stay back and get focused on some other things.

Thanks a lot for giving it out to us!
