What exactly does "No Booking Fees" mean?

"No Booking Fees" is not just a slogan!

HostelBookers is the only major hostel booking site that doesn't charge a booking fee on top of the standard 10% payment.

With HostelBookers, all you pay is a 10% payment for your stay and then the remaining 90% of the balance on arrival.

Hostel prices don't tend to vary too much, so HostelBookers will almost always work out the cheapest option!
