I have followed the Hostelskills events since the first edition in Belgrade 2 years ago. I think it is worth to take part in these conferences. Why? Because you can see the things from the different perspective. And more importantly you can get to know and become the part of the hostel community.
Ewa Gabara, Don’t Mess with a Receptionist – Blog for the Hostel Lovers, Barcelona, Spain
We really enjoyed being there and returned with a load of fresh and inspiring ideas and motivation. Thanks for that wonderful event. We are really looking forward the next edition of the conference and to meeting all the great people again.
The conference itself was simply great and helpful for the development of our Hostel. You get the chance to speak to experts from the business and take part in Workshops and discussions on Hostel topics.
Martin Grellmann, Lollis Homestay – Hostel, Dresden, DE
I found Hostelskills really useful, mostly because of the networking. You meet lots of people and get to refresh your motivation for when you come back to your hostel – you push harder to do better.
Vineta Pogule, Doma Hostel, Riga, Latvia
The event was very useful; we covered a lot of topics. When you’re in something, especially opening a new hostel, you’re focused on your own things, so it’s refreshing to come to a conference that opens you to other things that are happening.
