Hostelworld Group is the leading global hostel-booking platform with Hostelworld, Hostelbookers and Hostels.com in its portfolio operating in 19 different languages.

Connecting young travellers with hostels around the world, Hostelworld has over eight million reviews across 33,000 properties in more than 170 countries.

Hostelworld’s customers aren’t your average tourists; they crave experiences not souvenirs and want to be in the heart of the action.

They want to Meet the world, and it’s the social nature of hostels that facilitates their travel adventures.

By tuning into what makes millennial travellers tick, Hostelworld has become the leading hostel-focused brand amongst this target audience with 90% being under the age of 35.

The Hostelworld Group went public in November 2015, listing on the main London and Dublin stock exchanges.

Headquartered in Dublin, Hostelworld has offices around the world in London, Shanghai, Sydney and Seoul, and was recently awarded as a Best Workplace for 2016 by the Great Place To Work Institute.

In May 2015 Hostelworld underwent a global rebrand, moving away from being just a transactional business and started putting customers at the heart of everything it did, with millennial travel at its core.

The re-brand saw Hostelworld create a whole new identity and proposition – ‘Meet the world’.
