Backpackers & Hostels

Dorms don't book like hotel rooms — so we built for dorms.

Netbookings gives backpackers and youth hostels a customised way to take online bookings and manage the business. Dorms are a unique style of accommodation and need different rules from a standard reservation package.

Set up unlimited rooms and dorms, each with its own maximum number of beds and its own price points. Combine it with our Accommodation module to show dorm-style and hotel-style rooms on one screen for a complete overview — handy since many backpackers also have double and queen rooms for couples alongside dorms for individuals.

Add the Tours module and gift vouchers and you have a complete activity-management centre.
