Choosing the right accommodation is so much more than finding a place to sleep<\/span>, especially when it comes to sustainable <\/span>stays<\/span>. Making the right choice means looking at the bigger picture<\/span>, wider<\/span> than <\/span>you<\/span> and your travel<\/span>s<\/span>.<\/span> Accommodation can positively or negatively <\/span>impact<\/span> communities \u2013 from<\/span> bringing <\/span>income<\/span> to local <\/span>businesse<\/span>s<\/span>,<\/span> to<\/span> harming housing market<\/span>s. And not to mention the<\/span> effect<\/span> on the<\/span> climate<\/span>. <\/span>The trick is to find the right<\/span> hostel<\/span>;<\/span> a place that suits your needs <\/span>mixed with <\/span>positive impact<\/span> on the planet. <\/span>But<\/span> how do you find the<\/span>se gems<\/span>? <\/span>And how do you know <\/span>they\u2019re<\/span> <\/span>really<\/span><\/span> sustainable<\/span>?<\/span> Here <\/span>we<\/span> break it down for <\/span>travell<\/span>ers<\/span> and explain how Hostelworld can help!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First off, what do we mean by sustainable stays?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

When we say sustainable stays or accommodation, we\u2019re talking about accommodation providers, like hostels, that are working to reduce or have low climate impact \u2013 think switching to LED lights, using solar panels and reducing water use. But this also encompasses the accommodation\u2019s impact on their local area; is it run by local people? Do they give back to their community? Do they respect and protect cultural heritage?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, some hostels might focus on community giveback schemes like <\/span>Rio Hostel Buritaca<\/span><\/a>, while others provide a safe space for marginalised groups like <\/span>Modal Hostel<\/span><\/a>, or prioritise recycling like <\/span>St Christopher’s Inn<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to find sustainable stays<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Stay in a hostel<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In a recent Hostelworld survey, 52% of hostel travellers said they consider how eco-friendly a stay is before they book, and 88% believe hostels are more sustainable than hotels or home rentals. And they\u2019re right! A report from leading sustainability and compliance specialist, Bureau Veritas<\/a>, in partnership with Hostelworld, found that hostels produce <\/span>82% less carbon emissions<\/span><\/b><\/a> than hotels! So, even by staying in a hostel in the first place, you\u2019re a sustainable <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> savvy traveller. Give yourself a pat on the back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hostels…helping you make lifelong friends, check. Helping you support the planet, check. What more could you want?!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Search and filter <\/span>for sustainable hostels <\/span>on Host<\/span>elw<\/span>orld!\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, when you search for hostels, you can filter, and book based on their sustainability rating. Hostels must reach our sustainability criteria, and based on the information they provide, will be placed into four levels; level 1, 2, 3 and 3+. After the launch on 29<\/span>th<\/span> January 2024, hostels will begin onboarding, and work their way through the levels, soon showcasing just how sustainable they are. Long story short, we\u2019re working with our hostel partners do the leg work for you, so you can snooze in your dorm bed at night knowing you\u2019re supporting the greater good!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This framework helps you find climate conscious accommodation wherever you roam <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> gives hostels a place to explain what planet friendly practices they\u2019ve put in place. Look out for the leaf symbol when you\u2019re booking your next trip to try it out yourself.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Peruse the reviews <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

After <\/span>you\u2019ve<\/span> searched using our sustainable badges, h<\/span>ear from<\/span> the<\/span> people <\/span>who\u2019ve<\/span> already been. Do <\/span>travellers<\/span> rave about the <\/span>local food and <\/span>free water refills<\/span>, <\/span>or <\/span>does<\/span> sustainability seem to fall by the wayside?<\/span> Take a look<\/span> at the reviews to help you choose.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Have a nosey at <\/span>their events <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

A quick glance at a hoste<\/span>l\u2019s Linkups and<\/span> social media<\/span> page<\/span>s<\/span> could tell you all you need to know. Are they running <\/span>hiking <\/span>Linkups <\/span>and encouraging cycling<\/span>,<\/span> or<\/span> are guests <\/span>zooming around<\/span> on<\/span> jet skis all day? <\/span>For hostels that are active on social, if their eco-efforts are top of mind, <\/span>they\u2019ll<\/span> be top of the grid.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/span> Want to do more for the environment when you travel?<\/span> Offset your stay<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve found your perfect sustainable hostel, but you want to do more. <\/span>Offset the impact of your Hostelworld stay<\/span><\/a> after you book it. By contributing to environmental projects that positively impact the planet, you can counterbalance the emissions you can’t control from your accommodation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainability is important to us at Hostelworld as we aim to build a better world, and we\u2019re always working on ways to help travellers do their bit too. To find out more about climate commitment, <\/span>visit our sustainability page.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
