Hostel and City Chats are THE place to meet travellers, swap tips and make plans to hang out. They’re available during your stay and from 14 days before check-in. Found your people? Start a Group Chat!
Once you’ve booked, explore Traveller Profiles to meet your hostel crew (and future BFFs). See names, ages, profile photos, bios and the places they’ve been.
Hang out with travellers at Linkups – activities organised by your hostel, hostels nearby and backpackers. Think bike tours, beer pong, taco night, beach cleanups, surf lessons... there's loads to choose from! You can even create your own.
