Not started a group booking yet?
Before you read on, simply contact our experienced groups advisers to start the process. They'll check availability, create a quote and support you with every aspect of planning your visit.
Confirm your booking
1. Review your quote
After you submit an enquiry, our groups team will check availability and send you an online quote (usually within 2 working days). This quote is valid for 2 weeks.
2. Accept your quote
If you're happy with your quote, you can accept it online. We'll make a provisional booking and reserve availability at the quoted price for up to 3 weeks (depending on your arrival date).
3. Pay your 20% deposit
Once you pay your deposit over the phone or by bank transfer, your booking is confirmed and our booking T&Cs will apply. Your final balance payment won't be due until 8 weeks before arrival.
Plan and prepare
4. Speak to the hostel
Once your booking is confirmed, hostel staff will contact you personally (usually within 7 days). They'll introduce themselves, go over your booking and discuss any specific requirements.
5. Plan a free visit
Whether you've stayed in one of our beloved hostels before or you're trying YHA for the first time, we encourage group leaders to organise a free preview visit.
6. Make any final changes
Groups can reduce guest numbers once by up to 15%, up to 12 weeks before arrival, free of charge. Simply use our change my booking form.
To add more guests/nights (subject to availability) or change your board basis, submit our change my booking form as soon as possible.
7. Check your invoice
Around 12 weeks before arrival, we'll send you an invoice with a breakdown of your final booking details. You'll need to pay your final balance within 28 days of the invoice being sent (8 weeks before your arrival date).
