Hostel — Ireland

Hostel Ireland

Independent Fáilte-approved hostel operators — Dublin 1 backpackers, Galway Latin Quarter, Killarney town, Belfast Cathedral Quarter — trade on youth, walking-tour and Wild Atlantic Way traffic. Payment mix is card-heavy with a growing Revolut/Wise share. The rate parity monitor and the multi-channel OTA connector are the priority modules.

· I ·Priority modules

The modules most useful to Hostel operators are the Booking Engine widget with Fáilte Ireland grading badges, the Revenue-compliant e-invoicing module, the Bank of Ireland and AIB payment connector, and the regional playbook covering the relevant Irish micro-market — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Killarney or Belfast.

· II ·Compliance requirements

Fáilte Ireland grading badges must be current and correctly rendered. Revenue Commissioners VAT split must be applied per invoice line (9% accommodation, 13.5% F&B, 23% ancillary). Data Protection Commission (DPC) registration IE-14872 covers our processing on your behalf. Consumer Protection Act 2007 and SI 484/2013 govern the consumer relationship on your direct bookings.

· III ·Irish market coverage

Dublin (D1, D2, D4, Docklands), Cork (city, airport, suburban), Galway (city, Salthill, Connemara), Limerick, Killarney (town, Lakes, Ring of Kerry), Belfast (Titanic Quarter, Cathedral Quarter), Kilkenny, Waterford, Sligo, Ennis and the broader county coverage that is not always represented in generic global add-on catalogs.
