Our verdict

GoStops books hostels and tours rather than flights or rail, so it suits backpackers who want a bed and an activity sorted in one place. Founded in 2014 and running a mobile app, the booking terms read Free cancellation up to 5 days before check-in if plans change.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The range is tight: hostels and tours and nothing beyond it, so you know what you are buying.
  • Support runs on email, phone and chat, so a stuck booking is easy to chase.
  • A mobile app is available, which helps when you book away from a laptop.
  • Free cancellation up to 5 days before check-in takes the sting out of a change of plan.

Cons

  • Coverage is narrow: hostels and tours and nothing else, so flights, rail and hotel rooms need another site.
  • Bed choice sits with hostels and tours, so anyone after a private room has to book their stay elsewhere.
  • No buses or transfers appear in hostels and tours, so reaching the hostel is a separate arrangement.

Visit

Who it suits

  • Solo backpackers who want the bed and the activity booked by the same operator.
  • Travellers on a fixed budget who value Free cancellation up to 5 days before check-in as much as the price.
  • People who prefer a mobile app over sorting a booking by email.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Travellers who also need flights, rail, ferries or transfers, where 12Go covers flights, rail and bus.
  • Anyone planning a full trip with hotels, packages or car hire, which WayAway lists as flights, rail and bus.
  • People who want a hotel and transport in the same basket, since MoMo covers flights, rail and bus.

The company behind it

GoSTOPS is run by goSTOPS Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., headquartered in India and trading since 2014. Help comes through email, phone and chat, so a question about a bed or a tour can go to whichever channel is easiest. The catalogue is short, with hostels and tours under the same operator.

Frequently asked questions

What does GoStops actually sell?+

GoStops sells hostels and tours. Anything else, such as a flight, a train seat or a hotel room, sits outside that range, so a trip needing transport and a room needs a second brand. The short catalogue is the point: you read fewer options, and the people answering work for the business that took the booking.

What are the cancellation terms?+

Terms are Free cancellation up to 5 days before check-in. The window counts back from the check-in date, so a plan change made inside it keeps the refund in full, while anything later falls under the printed conditions. Read them before you book, since they decide how much a late change costs you.

How do you reach a person?+

Help runs through email, phone and chat. Email suits a question that can wait, phone suits something urgent before a hostel check-in, and chat keeps the booking in view. A mobile app is also available, so a change can be raised while you are out rather than back at a computer.

Who is behind the site?+

goSTOPS Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. is the company behind the site, headquartered in India and trading since 2014. An operator with a single headquarters and a short product range means the person answering your question works for the same business that takes the payment.

How does it compare with MoMo?+

MoMo lists flights, rail and bus, so it covers flights and hotels as well as tours. GoStops stops at hostels and tours. Choose it when the bed and the activity are the whole booking; choose MoMo when a flight and a room belong in the same basket.

Why would someone pick 12Go or WayAway instead?+

12Go lists flights, rail and bus, adding ferries, transfers and rail passes to the trip picture. WayAway goes wider still with flights, rail and bus. Neither covers hostel beds the way GoStops does; they suit trips where getting there and getting around matters more than where you sleep.

Does it suit a couple or a family?+

Hostel is the room type it works with, and hostels and tours is the full list of what you can book. Anyone wanting a private room for a couple or a family should look at the hotel ranges first, since flights, rail and bus and flights, rail and bus both include hotels.
