How "Find me a hostel" works

  1. Tell us what you need. The city and area, the exact spot on the map where you need a hostel, boys' or girls' hostel, the room, your budget and when you are moving in.
  2. We share it with matching hostels. Hostels of that kind in your city see your request, and the ones nearest to your area are told straight away.
  3. Hostels contact you. Owners may call or WhatsApp you with options. A response or available room is not guaranteed. Compare details before arranging a visit.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Posting a request is free for students and job holders, and there is nothing to pay Houstel.pk. You only ever pay a hostel you have visited and chosen.

Who can see my phone number?

Only boys' or girls' hostels — whichever you asked for — in the city you chose. They see what you need straight away, but your number stays hidden until a hostel takes your request, and at most 10 hostels can ever do that.

Who sees the location I pin?

The hostels that see your request see it to about 100 metres, so they know how close they are. Pin where you need a hostel — your university, office or the street you like — not your home address.

What if no hostel is listed in my area?

Pick the area anyway. The hostels nearest to it are told, and every matching hostel in the city can see your request.

How long does my request stay up?

Usually two weeks, or until your moving-in date, and never more than 30 days. If you have found a place, tell the hostels that call, or contact us and we will close it.

Should I pay an advance to a hostel that calls me?

Visit first, see the room and get the rent, deposit and refund terms in writing before you pay anything. Our terms have a short safety checklist. Read the checklist.
