Scholar FAQs

Browsing and searching hostels is free. You can shortlist listings and contact hostels directly. Any payment is between you and the hostel — we don't charge students for using the platform.

Requirements vary by hostel. Commonly asked: ID proof, college/institute ID or admission letter, and sometimes a local guardian form. Confirm directly with the hostel before visiting.

Yes. Use the gender filter on search and area pages to see only girls or boys hostels. Listings are tagged so you can find options that match your preference.

We work with hostel owners to keep information accurate. We recommend visiting in person, checking ID of the person showing the property, and confirming rent, deposit, and rules before paying anything.
