No, the two systems are not synchronised at all. If you sell two beds in a dorm on hostelworld then you'll have to update your availability in Hostelbookers and any other booking portals you use. Some hostels which are big enough might allocate say 30 beds to HW and 30 to HB, but if they are not the same actual beds there isn't a problem. It is a real pain for those who use multiple booking agents to have to go in and alter availability all the time. There are software solutions around which will do this function. Not all of them sync with HW, so make sure they have this feature if it's important to you. There is a very detailed thread about this software here.
