Why does a hostel, bunkhouse or bothy need hostel insurance?
Hostel owners must have hostel insurance to cover liability incidents such as trips, slips and injuries to visitors and staff. They must also cover material losses and damage such as theft, flood, storm and fire. However, it can sometimes be difficult to find youth hostel insurance.
Some hostels offer luxury and service to a standard that puts hotels to shame, others are just four walls and a roof. Insurance companies like to insure standard and uniform things that tick all their boxes, so finding the best hostel insurance can be tricky because underwriters often find it easier to decline something that cannot be clearly defined.
Many of our staff are keen outdoor adventurers and have stayed in backpacker accommodation and campsites worldwide. We understand how important backpacker hostel insurance is for hostels, bunkhouses and bothies, and Mann Broadbent can assist you in securing the right youth hostel insurance cover at the right price, even if your accommodation is out of the ordinary.
Some of the unusual things we can assist you with include:
- Listed buildings
- Non-standard construction
- Adventure activities
- Events
- Campsites
- Animals
- Children’s play areas
- Charities
