January is Early Booking Month: book NOW and enjoy more freedom in your planning

1. For families with kids: a clear plan = a clear mind

Popular weekends and school holidays fill up fast. By booking now:

• You get more choice in private family rooms
• You can perfectly match your trip with activities nearby (from museums to nature walks)
• And you already have something fun to look forward to months in advance ;-)

Check out our experiences page for child-friendly hotspots near every hostel.

2. For friend groups: claim your spot during busy times

Friends weekend? Festival summer? Cycling trip? Demand for hostels in cities like Ghent, Antwerp, Bruges and along the coast is rising fast. Especially during:

• Major festivals (Rock Werchter, Cactusfestival, Gentse Feesten, Beach Festival Nieuwpoort, …)
• Spring & summer weekends
• Long weekends and public holidays (Easter, Ascension, …)

Book now and you still have full freedom: all rooms and periods are available. Quiet in nature or buzzing in the city centre — you choose. And thanks to our flexible cancellation policy, you can always change your mind.

3. For schools: secure your favourite dates

School trips and multi-day excursions are often logistical puzzles. Make it easier on yourself and book in January, when our most popular hostels for schools still have plenty of availability. Benefits:

• Possibility to book for a large group — or even the entire hostel just for your school
• Hostels close to educational hotspots
• High availability of activities tailored to your class group

Early booking = no last-minute stress, plus enough time to design your programme and communicate with students and parents.

4. More activities, less stress

Our hostels are surrounded by walking and cycling routes, museums, beaches, parks and tons of experiences we’ve collected on the Hi Flanders Experiences page. When you book early, you can plan all this without stress. No “sorry, fully booked” moments — just freedom and relaxation.

January = book with confidence

It’s clear: January is simply the best month to book — whether you’re travelling with family, your class, friends or on your own.
