]]>Book Directly
Most travelers make their booking through Hostel World, Agoda, or Booking.com, but you can avoid their fees and save some extra cash by directly contacting the hostel or using their website.
Come Prepared
Don’t expect to get anything for free at your hostel. Pack your own towels, toiletries, padlocks, and earplugs so you won’t have to rent or buy them on the spot.
Bigger Dorm
Dorm room prices tend to vary depending on the size, and you’ll usually have to spend less money to stay in a bigger dorm.
Right Locations
Hostels at a remote location usually aren’t worth it, no matter how cheap. Try to opt for a centrally-located hostel so you won’t have to spend extra money on public transportation.
Prepare Your Food
Unless your hostel offers a free breakfast, consider booking one with a well-equipped shared kitchen where you can prepare your own meals to save some money on food.

]]>Making Noise
Don’t be too noisy when you’re in the dorm with other guests, especially if it’s time to sleep. Pack for your trip a night before if you’re leaving early in the morning, and try to prepare everything you need beforehand if you’ll be coming back to your room late at night.
Food Thief
If your room comes with a shared kitchen, chances are you’ll be asked to put your name on all the food you leave in the fridge. Never assume that food you find is up for grabs, and check if someone labeled it with their name before taking it.
Leaving Your Mess
Make sure to clean up after yourself every time you’re using shared facilities, such as a kitchen or a bathroom. Wash your dishes, and make sure you’re not leaving your things scattered around the dorm, because you might be taking up other people’s space.
