Hostelworld.com was launched in 1999 by an IT entrepreneur and hostel owner who developed an idea that changed the face of the online budget travel industry, filling a gap in the travel market that had previously been ignored by introducing online bookings to hostels.
Ten years later, Hostelworld has sold more than 71 million beds, processed over 15 million bookings and generated more than 2 million user reviews of hostels worldwide. Hostelworld also offers extensive award winning content including free podcasts, city guides and videos.
