Absolutely zero. HostelSansar is completely free for students. We charge no booking fee, no service charge, and no commission - ever. The price shown on the hostel page is exactly what you pay the hostel directly.
On each hostel profile page, you will find the hostel's phone number, email, and a WhatsApp link (if enabled). You can also submit a free inquiry form and the hostel owner will contact you within 24 hours.
Yes. Every verified hostel on HostelSansar has been personally reviewed before listing. We require real photos of the actual hostel. Listings with placeholder or stock photos are not given a Verified badge.
Verified hostels (shown with a green ✓ badge) have been reviewed by the HostelSansar team - we have confirmed the address, inspected the photos, and validated the contact details. Non-verified hostels are self-submitted and awaiting review.
Yes. On the homepage search and on the hostels listing page, there is a gender filter. Select "Boys Only" or "Girls Only" to see only hostels with that accommodation policy.
For Parents
We prioritize safety by only verifying hostels that have CCTV coverage, controlled entry, and a resident warden or manager. Each hostel's safety features are listed under Amenities on their profile page.
Absolutely - and we strongly encourage it. Contact the hostel directly via the phone number or inquiry form and arrange a visit. HostelSansar facilitates the connection; the final decision is always yours.
Contact us at hello@hostelsansar.com with details and photos. We will investigate and, if the complaint is valid, remove or flag the listing. Verified status can be revoked.
For Hostel Owners
Visit the "List Your Hostel" page and fill out the contact form. Our team will review your application and set up your owner account within 2 business days. Listing is completely free.
Log in to your Owner Portal at /owner/login with the credentials provided by HostelSansar. From your dashboard, you can update hostel details, upload photos, and manage room availability at any time.
Up to 10 photos per hostel. We recommend uploading at least 5 high-quality photos - entrance, rooms, common areas, bathroom, and dining area. Better photos lead to significantly more inquiries.
You receive an email notification at your registered email address with the student's full name, phone number, email, desired room type, and move-in date. You then contact the student directly to proceed.
Yes. Log in to your Owner Portal and set your hostel's availability status to reflect current openings. You can mark specific room types as "Full" if they are currently at capacity.
Payments & Fees
No. HostelSansar charges zero commission. We are a listing and discovery platform. All payments are made directly between the student and the hostel owner. We are never involved in any financial transaction.
Yes, basic listing is completely free. In the future, we may offer optional premium placement features for owners who want additional visibility, but the standard listing will always remain free.
Not at this time. HostelSansar Phase 1 does not process any payments. All financial transactions - deposits, monthly rent, advance - are handled directly between the student and hostel owner via cash, eSewa, Khalti, or bank transfer.
