Data & attribution
Hostels and nearby places
The base hostel and nearby-place index is derived from OpenStreetMap contributor data under ODbL 1.0. Owner-entered data is stored separately and is not overwritten by open-data refreshes.
Places and timezones
City, country and timezone normalization uses GeoNames data under CC BY 4.0.
Photos
Automatically imported photos come from Wikimedia Commons only when their license permits reuse. Each media record keeps its source page, attribution and license. Property photos are attached only through exact OSM/Wikidata media references; destination photos are labeled and used as location imagery when a property photo is unavailable.
Ratings
Hostels.im does not manufacture a rating. Numeric scores are displayed only when imported from a named external source, such as Wikidata statements or an authorized accommodation data feed. Missing ratings remain missing.
