Your guesthouse/hotel/resort needs to have anywhere between 15-40 rooms and all valid hotel trade licenses.

A 15-40 rooms hotel can accommodate 75-125 beds. It usually costs approximately 15k to 40k (all-inclusive) per bed to transform a hotel into a goSTOPS-standard hostel. The per bed transformation cost depends on the condition of the building and its existing furniture, fixture and equipment.

Once you reach out to us and your property fits our requirement, we will visit, assess and give you a transformation estimate and plan. Once the terms are agreed upon, the contract will be signed and registered. The process can take around 2-4 weeks. It will take another 6-8 weeks to transform your property in order to meet our standards & specification and go live.

A youth hostel differs from a regular hotel as it caters to a completely different demographic (youth) and has different requirements from a hotel. In addition to essential requirements like bunk beds and mattresses, the property will also need some electrical work to accommodate power outlets/lamps/fans for each bed and also common spaces with additional facilities and recreational amenities to encourage social interactions between guests. Of course, if your property is an already existing youth hostel, the transformation costs would be substantially lower.

We are currently looking for larger properties with 15+ rooms. If your rooms are large enough, we could consider the property on a case-by-case basis. However, you will still need to have all valid hotel trade licenses.

Do reach out to us so we can discuss alternative options.

We will give you a 15% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on the additional investment over a period of 5 years.
