How can I upload Photos to my Hostelworld Profile?

How to Easily Upload Photos to your Hostelworld Profile in Just a Few Clicks.

Your Hostelworld profile is an important tool for attracting customers to your property. To make the most of it, you need to upload high-quality photos that showcase your property's best features. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Access Hostelworld Inbox

To upload photos to your Hostelworld profile, you need to access your Hostelworld Inbox. You can do this by going to https://inbox.hostelworld.com/manage/images/property.

Step 2: Upload Your Photos

Once you're in Hostelworld Inbox, you can upload your photos by clicking on the "Upload" button. You can upload up to 30 photos in JPG or PNG format. We recommend uploading photos in bulk and then reordering them as you like.

Step 3: Arrange Your Photos

To arrange your photos, left-click on an image using your computer mouse and drag the image to the desired position. The first photo in the gallery will be used as the cover photo, so make sure it's one of your best shots.

Step 4: Considerations

When uploading photos to your Hostelworld profile, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind:

  • First impressions matter: Your cover photo is the first thing a customer sees, so make sure it represents your property well.
  • Avoid blurry images: Your photos should be a minimum of 1920 pixels wide and at least 1200 pixels high to ensure they're clear and crisp.
  • Bright is best: Bright, clean, and inviting images work best. Avoid dark or badly lit photos.
  • Orientation and alignment: We recommend taking landscape/horizontal photos that have the subject matter in the center for the best display.
  • No logos or advertising: Your photos should showcase your property only, so avoid including logos, advertising, or any kind of promotional messaging.
  • No watermarks or collages: Don't include watermarks or collages in your photos.
  • No illustrations or graphics: Your photos should be real photos of your property, not illustrations or graphics.

Step 5: Obtain Consent

If individuals appear in your photos, make sure you obtain written consent from them and keep it securely for the duration that the images are available on a public forum. This written consent must be made available to Hostelworld in the event that a customer disputes their consent to appear in a photo or image.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Hostelworld profile is visually appealing and accurately represents your property.
