a&o is so easy to work with and makes travelling to new cities even more fun. I've stayed at hostel locations in Vienna, Munich, and Florence, and it's been super easy to create amazing content every single time.
I really enjoyed collaborating with a&o Hostels. The communication was smooth, the team was super supportive, and the whole experience felt very authentic and creator-friendly. I'd definitely recommend working with them to other creators looking for great travel partnerships.
We've been working with a&o Hotels for two years and have visited many cities during our family travels. Every stay has been consistent, comfortable, and truly family-friendly. Our kids already know that the pancake machine is a must-have part of every stay. We're also a great example that a&o works well for every type of traveller.
Things creators ask us.
Who can apply?
Anyone making travel-shaped content with a real audience. We look at storytelling, audience fit, and how you actually travel — not vanity numbers. Plenty of our best members sit under 25k followers.
What kinds of content are welcome?
Solo trips, group adventures, budget guides, nightlife, food, sustainable travel, family stays, festival weekends — anything honest about the experience. We don't ask you to play hotel reviewer.
When do I get my first paid brief?
Most members see their first paid brief within a couple of months. Briefs are occasional rather than constant — we send them when they fit your audience, not on a quota.
What happens to my content?
It lives on your channels first — always. We re-share on a&o accounts and may put paid spend behind the pieces that hit, with your sign-off. For select campaigns, we may discuss a 12-month exclusive buyout license.
Can I create content outside campaigns?
Yes, please. Most member content is freeform — you stay, you create what feels right, and tag us if you want.
Can I bring a co-creator or partner?
Absolutely. Twin and small-group rooms are fair game when it makes sense for the trip. Solo creators get private rooms by default.
