Hostelworld Channel Manager Connection Guide

To connect Hostelworld to your Mangobeds property via the Channel Manager, follow these steps:

1. Request connection from Hostelworld
Email Hostelworld support and ask them to enable Channex as your channel manager. Once they activate the connection, they’ll reply with your Hostelworld property ID.

2. Add Hostelworld channel in Mangobeds

• Go to Apps → Channel Manager
• Click Get Started
• Click Create to start a new connection
• Select Hostelworld as the channel
• Enter the property ID from Hostelworld
• Click Test Connection – you should get a success message

3. Map rooms and rates

• Hostelworld requires full occupancy pricing.
  • Example: If you have a Double Room (2 people), map it with the 2-person rate
  • If it is a dorm room please send price for 1 person
• Map all rooms and rate plans accordingly
• Click Save once mapping is complete

4. Activate the connection

• Go to the Actions button next to the channel and click Activate

That’s it — your Hostelworld listings will now stay in sync with Mangobeds in real time.

IMPORTANT

The minimum and maximum stay for Hostelworld is 14 nights, so if you set a value above that one, it will end up being 14.

Before you connect any channel

Currency, rates and restrictions are set once for every channel, not per OTA, and it is worth getting them right before you connect. Read the channel manager guide for that setup and for every other channel Mangobeds connects to.
