A new feature called 'My Trips' on the Hostelworld app lets users plan their trip immediately after booking. This is perfect for people who are eager and enthusiastic when it comes to trip planning as well as those who have a small window between when they book and when they must depart.
This new feature is possible due to a partnership with Gogobot, a city guide service. Travellers will be able to explore the city they are going to thanks to Gogobot's travel guides. This also makes it easier for people to become immersed in the local scene right away. The Hostelworld app My Trips section streamlines your trip by keeping your hostel name, address and check-in information accessible as well.
