Hostel Traveler

Of all the marketing services you can subscribe to, HostelTraveler.com offers more free stuff than just about anyone else:

1. Only HostelTraveler.com gives you up to 15 or more unique search engine-optimized pages just for your property, each page translated to a different language. You probably don't even have this on your own website, let alone other online booking services. And again, it's free.

2. As a tip, we can activate your property for "request-only" bookings. This is an easy method to maintain free advertising on our network, and not have any work to do maintaining a calendar. Of course, instant booking is always the preferred method over request method. Here's why:
Why instant booking is better

3. Save time and work by feeding your availability directly into our system from your current front desk software. It's also free. We have an XML API that allows any 3rd party PMS, channel manager, or front desk system to feed your availability to us. Just contact them and tell them you want them to integrate with us. Send them this URL:

4. Free Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising. Instant World Booking has proven to be very successful in gaining top search engine rankings for its listed lodging partners. When you maintain an availability calendar with us, we use PPC advertising to market your property on Google and other sites. A PPC campaign can cost you hundreds of dollars per month, if executed on your own. However, we advertise our partners in PPC campaigns for free.

5. Cheapest Booking Engine for your website - guaranteed! An online booking engine for your website is a critical part of your marketing strategy, especially now with 45% of all travel in the world booked on the internet. If you haven't already tried our online booking engine for your website, perhaps now is the time to consider that Instant World Booking offers the lowest cost options available from any provider. We can save you money because we offer more options, at a cheaper cost than all the other services. In short, here's our guaranty. If you are using a competing provider for your website's booking engine, we guarantee a lower cost for the same service. Please don't overpay.

6. How about Free No-Show and Cancellation Protection. Not offered by other services, this protection comes free with your booking engine.

7. Optional Credit Card Collection services. If you don’t currently accept credit cards online, we can provide that service also, with no merchant account, location, or credit restrictions for you. How about this. Charge guest credit cards for no-shows and cancellations, regardless of where or how they booked. Charge guests for virtually any cost associated with their stay with you, regardless of where or how they booked.

8. Also free:
• Unlimited photos
• Custom, searchable maps for your property on our network
• Get back-links to your webpage directly from our 100+ websites.
• Post your videos on our site
