Software for group houses, school trips and youth groups

School trips and camps are booked months ahead, paid in parts and change headcount until the last day. HostelOp is built for exactly that.

Frequently asked questions

Can a school book without paying straight away?

Yes. In request mode the form charges nothing: the request waits for your review and you send the provisional booking with the deposit.

Can I have different prices for schools and families?

Yes. Each customer type has its own rates, meal plans and extras, and guests pick their profile before seeing any price.

How do I work out a group quote?

You can use our free group price calculator. Inside HostelOp the price comes straight from your rates.

What about cancellation terms?

You write them once and they go inside the provisional booking email. If you don't have any, download our template.
