View all hostels & bunkhouses
There are lots of hostels and bunkhouses run by independent businesses and charities.
Independent Hostels UK (IHUK) is a network, a community that brings these hostels together and provides a place where you can find and book them.
Independent hostels are unique, no two are the same. Lots are very involved in their local community and 20% are run by small charities or community interest companies.
There are over 340 independent hostels on this website, but that is not all of them. Because some hostels are so independent they don’t want to be part of any network.
And that’s OK, because an independent hostel is a place not a trademark.
The IHUK Network
IHUK is the largest network of hostels and bunkhouses in the UK.  With accommodation in over 340 locations, the IHUK network is larger then the Youth Hostel Association and Hosteling Scotland added together.
