During my last trip to Colombia, I looked extra closely at the facilities offered by the places I stayed at. I felt that often it’s the simple things that can be improved. Having seen a lot of hostels all over the world, over time you get an idea of what should be offered and how hosts can go the extra mile to make sure their guests have a brilliant stay. Of course things like good sized lockers, clean bathrooms and helpful hosts are essential in any type of accommodation. But what are the things hostels can do to go beyond expectations setting themselves apart from the competition? What makes a hostel flashpacker worthy?
