호스텔월드 소셜 패스: 예약이 필요 없는 소셜 앱

With your Social Pass, you get access to a suite of social travel features: 

• Chat with travellers nearby (city chats) 

• Share and browse Travel Plans (see who’s going where and when) 

• Browse Traveller Profiles (age, languages, bio, travel stats) 

• Join curated events (pub crawls, taco nights, beach parties, hikes) 

• Switch cities and keep connecting wherever you go 

 All powered through the Hostelworld app. 

No, the Social Pass is a one-time purchase rather than an ongoing subscription. There are no automatic renewals, no hidden fees, and no strings attached. You purchase for a defined duration and get full access for that time. 

No, since the Social Pass is not a subscription, there is no automatic renewal or charge at expiry. If you’d like to continue social travel pass access after it ends, you’ll need to manually purchase a new pass.

Your Social Pass remains active through the full duration of its expiry date as shown in your purchase confirmation or in your Profile settings inside the Hostelworld app. Once the expiration date passes, access to the social features ends unless you choose to purchase again.

In the Hostelworld app, tap “Chat” in the bottom-bar navigation to access chat features. You’ll find city chats and the opportunity to send private messages to other travellers. These chat features are unlocked through the Social Pass, now even if you don’t have a booking.

The Social Pass is built for travellers on the move. When you change your location in the app, your pass “moves” with you. You’ll instantly gain access to the local chats, events and community features in the new city. At the same time, you’ll lose access to the previous location’s chats and events. Keeping your location updated ensures you make the most of your travel community access.

No — one of the key benefits of the Hostelworld Social Pass is that you can join the travel community without booking a bed. Whether you’re planning ahead or just browsing, you can chat with travellers, share travel plans, browse traveller profiles and attend events even if you haven’t made a hostel booking.

Absolutely. The Hostelworld Social Pass is created exactly for travellers who want to meet people, join a global travel community, and turn solo travel into social travel. Without needing to book a stay, you can still connect with like-minded travellers, share your next destination, and make friends before or during your trip.

Inside the Hostelworld app, go to your Profile settings or your Social Pass dashboard to see the pass type you bought, its activation date, and expiration date. This helps you track how many days of access you have left in the travel community.

When you join with the Hostelworld Social Pass, you’re stepping into a global travel community of over 3 million app users. Every chat, event and travel plan connects you to real travellers across 180 countries. Whether you’re backpacking solo or planning a group adventure, the social travel pass helps you find people nearby who share your vibe, your route and your sense of adventure.

The Social Pass primarily focuses on the social travel experience — connecting travellers, chats, events and community. While you’ll still use the Hostelworld app to book hostels, the pass is not a booking discount or exclusive hostel deal package. It’s for enhancing your social travel network.
