On aohostels.com the guest – your user – pays super flexible:

  • For payments at the front desk (upon arrival) the guest chooses "flex rate" . The overnight stay will be paid on-site.

Restrictions - thanks for your understanding:
  • For cashbackers and meta-networks, A&O's fix rate is the only accepted payment option. Voucher and bargain portals are checked in advance.
    We are happy to work with you – let’s get in touch to discuss the best possible (lowest) cancellation strategy.
