What is a Social Pass?

The Hostelworld Social Pass is a paid, app-based subscription that grants access to Hostelworld's social features: such as city-wide chats, traveler meetups, and events; without requiring a hostel booking. It allows solo travelers, digital nomads, and those staying in private accommodation to connect with nearby travelers. 

Key Features and Benefits

  • No Booking Needed: Unlike traditional app access which requires a reservation, the Social Pass works independently of bookings.
  • Location-Based Chat: Connect with travelers in your immediate vicinity, join group chats, and plan activities.
  • Events & Meetups: Access Linkups: such as pub crawls, walking tours, and dinners, organized by hostels or other travellers.
  • Flexible & Portable: The pass moves with you, allowing you to switch cities and maintain your social connections on the go.

No Subscriptions: It is a one-time purchase
