- We have a policy of pre-authorizing your credit card as a reservation guarantee method. The hostel does not charge; it is a temporary hold. We do this 6 days prior to your check-in date to ensure that the card is valid and has sufficient funds to cover the cost of the first night. This amount will be released on your credit card after your check-in or charged in case of No-show or late cancellation. If a pre-authorization is not possible we have the right to cancel your reservation.
- We have a 48-hour cancellation policy. For example: your booking is made for 15 April, so you can cancel your booking free of charge before 13 April. The free-cancellation deadline is 23:59 (local time) on 12 April. In case of late cancellation or no show, the first night will be charged on your card. Cancellations MUST be done via your Hostelworld account.
