A Powerful Alliance in the World of Hostel Travel: Infohostels.com & WorldBestHostels.com Join Forces

Since its founding in 1998, Infohostels.com has evolved into one of the most trusted voices in hostel-based travel, providing up-to-date news, destination guides, traveler stories, and insider tips for backpackers worldwide. Meanwhile, WorldBestHostels.com, launched in 2002, has carved out a niche as a curated directory dedicated exclusively to highlighting top-tier hostels in cities worldwide.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a strategic collaboration between these two established platforms, one that will elevate the hostel travel experience for both travelers and hostel owners alike.

Why This Collaboration Makes Sense

1. Complementary strengths, shared mission

• Infohostels.com brings decades of editorial authority, storytelling power, and an engaged audience of hostel-loving travelers.
• WorldBestHostels.com contributes a focused, quality-driven directory of hostels, filtering out the noise and offering only the best hostel options in each city.
  By combining these strengths, we’ll offer travelers not only what to see and how to travel, but also where to stay, with confidence and quality.

2. Quality over quantity
WorldBestHostels.com is known for listing only hostels in each city, thereby helping travelers avoid overwhelm and choose reliable, high-quality stays.
This curation aligns beautifully with Infohostels’ approach to travel storytelling, where trust, authenticity, and experience matter most.

3. Increased visibility & reach for hostels
For hostels that qualify to appear on WorldBestHostels.com, the collaboration offers exposure to Infohostels’ readership,opening doors to new potential guests. Meanwhile, Infohostels can embed profiles, direct links, and visuals from WorldBestHostels into its content, making its travel articles more actionable and useful.

4. A better user journey for travelers
Imagine reading an Infohostels feature on “Hidden Gems of Kyoto,” and right within the story you see an embedded shortlist of the best hostels in Kyoto (curated via WorldBestHostels). You click, compare, and book all in one seamless process. This integrated experience erases friction between inspiration and booking.

What the Partnership Will Deliver

• Integrated Content & Listings: Infohostels will begin embedding verified hostel listings (from WorldBestHostels) in selected destination guides, featured articles, and “selected hostels” roundups.
• Joint Promotions & Features: Campaigns, spotlights, and special features that highlight hostels with stories, for instance, “Hostel of the Month” or behind-the-scenes interviews.
• Quality Assurance & Vetting: A shared code of standards to ensure that any hostel appearing in the directory meets expectations of cleanliness, amenities, safety, and traveler experience.
• Cross-Platform Traffic & SEO Synergy: With cross-linking and mutual promotion, both sites will boost authority, grow traffic, and improve search rankings in the hostel/budget travel niche.
• Community & Engagement: Hostels will gain more opportunity to tell their stories — their ethos, their sustainability efforts, their local experiences — while readers get more transparency and trust in what they choose to stay in.

A Shared Legacy, Projected Forward

• Infohostels.com has over 25 years of continuous operation, serving as a beacon for hostel travelers, trend-spotting the shifts in how people explore the world.
• WorldBestHostels.com, since 2002, has steadily refined the art of classification, filtering the vast universe of hostels down to a concise, reputable selection per city.
  Together, this combined heritage brings authority, credibility, and a forward-looking edge.
