How to Add Text About Your Property

A great property description helps travellers understand what makes your hostel special and inspires them to book.

In this article, you’ll learn how to write clear, engaging text for the Property Information section that showcases your space, your location, and how to get there — all while reflecting your property’s personality.

Step 1: Describe your property

Start your description with a short overview of your property.

Focus on what makes it unique — what can guests expect when they arrive, and why should they choose to stay with you?

You can mention:

  • The type of property (hostel, guesthouse, boutique stay, etc.)

  • Key facilities and amenities (kitchen, rooftop terrace, pool, coworking area)

  • The atmosphere and style (social, relaxed, family-run, design-focused)

✏️ Example:
“Our hostel combines a friendly, social atmosphere with modern comfort. Guests can relax on the rooftop terrace, enjoy free daily walking tours, and meet other travellers at our evening events.”

Step 2: Talk about your location

Next, help guests imagine your surroundings.

Describe what’s nearby:

  • Main attractions, shops, cafés, and nightlife spots

  • Local highlights or cultural areas

  • Distance or travel time from popular points of interest

💡 Tip: Focus on what makes your location special. Mention how easy it is for guests to explore, or if it’s in a quieter, more authentic area.

Step 3: Provide clear directions

Make it easy for guests to find you — especially those visiting your city for the first time.

Include directions from:

  • The nearest airport, train, or bus station

  • How to arrive by car or taxi

  • Key landmarks or transit lines that make your property easy to locate

📍We recommend plotting your location directly on the map in your Hostelworld Inbox.
