How to Modify Your Main Property Picture
You can choose which image appears first on your Hostelworld listing by re-ordering your photo gallery.
This helps you highlight your best picture and improve your property’s visual appeal.
🔧 Step 1: Open Your Image Gallery
-
Log in to your Hostelworld Inbox.
-
Go to Property Set Up.
-
Select Microsite Content.
-
Click Images.

This will open your full property image gallery.
🖱️ Step 2: Change the Order of Your Images
You can reorder your photos using drag-and-drop:
-
Click and hold the image you want to move.
-
Drag it into the correct position in the gallery.
-
Drop it when the new position highlights.
Your changes save automatically, and you’ll see a confirmation message once the new order is applied.
The image in position #1 becomes your main picture on Hostelworld.
🛏️ Step 3: Edit Your Room Images (Optional)
You can also update individual room images:
-
In the Images section, click Room Images.
