EVERYONE is welcome at BBH
There's no shortage of International over-hyped commercial booking sites offering "best deals" and threatening to sell out fast. At BBH we'll just look after you as a guest, not as a consumer.
Pay as you go. There is no tying up of funds with advance payments or deposits for accommodation. No club card? No problem. For a one-off NZ$2 registration fee, pay an extra $4+ per person per night and still receive great value! See more on Pricing.
Buy and register a club card to pay on arrival with no added fees.
Please Note: Add your BBH Club Card details to your Registration Page BEFORE you start making bookings, otherwise, Non Club Card holder premium rates WILL apply. See COST details below.
The BBH system doesn't always provide real time confirmation, but we do promise a reply by or before midday (NZ time) on the day following your request. If you receive NO reply, then something has gone wrong and you should check your BBH bookings page.
Registration
- Register to use the system to ensure credit card security.
- Guarantee: Your credit card details act as a guarantee of payment in return for a guaranteed bed at a BBH establishment and is valid for the whole of your time in New Zealand.
- A Registration Number is issued for your use to overcome the need repeatedly to supply your credit card numbers at hostels - see PHONE BOOKINGS below.
- Pre-authorisation of credit card: Our secure system pre-checks your card's validity. We never release card numbers to hostels or any other third party. However, as is common practice around the world, some operators will require credit card details to be held when you check-in as a bond against costs incurred during your stay.
Costs
Club Card Holders: There are no fees on a pre-registered club card.
A $5 Pre-authorisation item may appear on your credit card account when the validity of your credit card is checked. The funds are NOT taken from your account but may be frozen for a few days.
There will be a fee if you cancel.
See Terms & Conditions for full details on all charges and fees.
Cancellations
Cancellation and No Show fees apply - view fees here >> Terms & Conditions
Group Bookings
The system will accept requests for small groups of up to six people. Bookings for larger groups will need to be made directly with individual hostels.
Phone Bookings - offer total flexibility
- Simple. Secure. And no more credit card details being given out over the phone every day.
- This is the PERFECT way to go for those who don't want to tie themselves down in advance to an itinerary that may change once they're on the road. Wait right up till the day of arrival before you book if you wish.
- How? REGISTER as described above, then simply phone the hostel and quote your BBH ID Number to the hostel operator. The operator will enter your booking on the BBH system and you can track it on your BBH registration menu.
- You pay the operator when you arrive.
