VIP Backpackers Resorts & Hostels

Joining the VIP community

You'll discover that there is always a VIP Backpacker Resort in the best locations offering quality budget accommodation, friendly service, and a welcoming attitude. When you stay with VIP you stay with a local. VIP hostels and backpacker resorts are mostly individually owned and operated. This means your VIP hostel is a great resource for finding work and the best things to see and do.

Stay FREE in Australia & New Zealand

Earn 1 point for every $1 eligibly spent at participating VIP Rewards Hostels in Australia. Spend $250 (NZ$300) to collect 250 points and receive $25 (NZ$30) credit toward your next bed at a VIP Rewards Hostel.

Global coverage

Every VIP backpackers resort is unique with each one as individual as you are. Your VIP hostel could be right in the centre of a bustling metropolis, or in the heart of the Australian outback, in South Africa's Zululand or hundreds of other great locations! You can enjoy the variety without sacrificing the quality or value.

Quality

In addition to finding facilities like 24-hour access, kitchens, laundries, lounge rooms and televisions, a courtesy bus, and choice of private rooms with ensuite, you'll notice some added extras too. You'll find trustworthy local advice and tour bookings. Because you stay with a local, your hosts will work that bit harder to help you find work if that’s what you want, and treat you like a real VIP!

Save Money & Stay Longer

Some VIP hostels offer weekly and long-term rates that save you even more. Don't forget, with your VIP Discount Card you get savings on each room night and in Australia and New Zealand, you could stay for FREE. To learn more click here.
