The goal of HostelManagement.com is to promote a community of hostel owners, managers and hostel enthusiasts that can freely share ideas and information with each other about best practices for our industry. This is only possible when we are professional and polite to each other.

Therefore, the primary rule of HostelManagement.com is as follows: “Be kind whenever possible - and - it’s always possible!” Please don’t do anything that will insult or harm another person, their property, their reputation, or harm the site.

Even though you may have the best hostel, front desk software, cleaning product, insurance, gizmo or whatever in the whole world, please don’t spam us with advertising. This site is primarily for professional education. Not advertising!

There is a lot of information on this site and on the internet in general. We can’t guarantee it’s all true. People make mistakes and even though we always strive to be 100% honest, we can’t always vouch for other users on the site. It’s up to you to verify whether or not any information you find will be accurate, applicable and helpful for your particular situation.

You own your own words. You also own your pictures, your drawings, your creations etc. Anything you post on the site belongs to you. However, when you post on a public website like HostelManagement.com, you give us permission to share your work with others.

We will do our best to keep HostelManagement.com online and keep our members protected from hackers, viruses and other bad things. However, we are only human so please don’t blame us if your computer somehow bursts into flames.

We think that using HostelManagement.com is not as risky as walking out your front door (but we could be wrong - see above) but even using this website has some risk. Don’t blame us if your hostel blows up as a result of using this site.

That was the summary. Still here? Now you must read the official long and legal version of these terms located in our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Forum Communications Policy. Sorry our attorney makes us say that.
