Hostelworld coupon questions

Six questions people actually ask us.

Can I use two Hostelworld promo codes on one booking?

No. Hostelworld coupons cannot be combined with any other coupon, voucher, offer, discount or promotion offered by Hostelworld.

Can I use a Hostelworld promo code more than once?

No. Each coupon is valid for a single use only. If you apply it to a booking and later cancel that booking under the hostel's cancellation policy, the coupon is no longer valid.

How do Hostelworld vouchers differ from Hostelworld coupons?

Vouchers replaced the former Hostelworld credits system and can be used across all room rate types except Pay Now and Change Booking rates. Vouchers are applied automatically at the Secure Checkout page, while coupons must be typed in.

How long can I reuse a Hostelworld Standard Flexible Booking voucher?

If you cancel within the required notice, your deposit is returned as a euro voucher that you can use for future Hostelworld bookings for 6 months from the cancellation date. The Standard Flexible option carries a small fee, and that booking fee is always non-refundable.

How much can a Hostelworld no-show cost me?

Your credit or debit card can be charged up to the cost of one night's stay, and a no-show may result in cancellation of your entire booking.

How long do I have to claim the Hostelworld Booking Guarantee?

You must contact Hostelworld within 48 hours of arrival, as shown on your reservation confirmation, using the Booking Guarantee contact form. If the property cannot find your booking, you receive a credit for your deposit plus an extra US$50.
