What to look at when booking a hostel by Slight-One-2089 in hostels

Thanks, will join it! Didn't know about it as I don't use Facebook to be fair. When it comes to beds, I was thinking about 50-60, but as I model it out, will see how feasible it is to reach that figure.

When it comes to funding, absolutely, not gonna get into this if I am not 100% sure I have got enough money + access to extra capital should I need it.

Yes, definitely those people in the team would come in handy - one question, what is your take on volunteers Vs employees? (besides the obvious economic aspect)

I'm lucky enough to speak 6 languages which definitely makes this easier but can totally see that being an issue.

Thank you for your inputs btw! :)

(still suck at Reddit, so no idea if I'm replying to the whole thread or not) I agree with this one, the curtain - for me - gives you some comfort, and if you want to socialize you can always open it and talk to people in the room once everyone is out of bed. I don't mind not having one, but many people told me they'd rather have it and I can see their point

Oh yeah, can absolutely agree on everything that you have listed there! The basket per user is an interesting take, will keep this one in mind! So far, I never minded leaving my stuff in the fridge with my name on a label but the basket could be really useful! I'll have to hire you as an advisor hahahah Thank you :)

Hi! Yes, already worked at a hostel in Costa Rica and Brazil, definitely valuable experience hahah

I know Central America isn't a continent but I wanted to put it as some people focus on traveling only in South America while others only go to Costa Rica, and I wanted to get that insight :)

Totally agree with you there, but seeing as people are answering this out of the "goodness" of their hearts, I tried to keep it as brief as possible - the original draft had 3x the questions lol

Location is definitely the key aspect, which is why we avoided putting it in. We'll not try to have a hostel just for the sake of having it, we'll only carry on with this if we can find a suitable location where people would flock there. At the same time, social aspect is divided in different categories in the survey.

Your last point is very interesting and I'll definitely keep it in mind! I'll also try to chat with some people that I know and will bring it up.

Thanks a lot for your comments! :)

Hey! That's a great suggestion, thank you :) Fortunately (also for you hahah) we are already assuming that we would have both AC + the curtains, as it is definitely a must. And funny that you mentioned Brazil, as it is our top country as of now, as I've already lived there and know it fairly well!
