Hostel Listing Policy

This policy applies to hostel owners and managers listing a property on HostelSansar.

Listing Is Free

Creating and maintaining a hostel listing on HostelSansar is free. We do not charge commission on bookings or inquiries generated through the platform.

Accuracy Requirement

Owners/managers are responsible for keeping their listing's pricing, room availability, photos, and contact details accurate and up to date. Listings found to contain materially false information (fake photos, incorrect pricing designed to mislead, non-existent amenities) may be unverified or removed.

Verification

The green "Verified" badge is awarded after our team visits the hostel in person to confirm the listing matches reality. Verification can be revoked if a hostel is later found to be materially misrepresented, closed, or unresponsive to inquiries over an extended period.

Response Expectations

Hostels are expected to respond to student/tenant inquiries within 24 hours where reasonably possible. Repeated failure to respond to inquiries may affect a listing's visibility.

Removal

Owners/managers may request removal of their listing at any time by contacting us. We may also remove a listing that has permanently closed or that repeatedly violates this policy.
