Case Study: Blue Beds achieves #1 ranking on HostelWorld with Cloudbeds

This hostel startup quickly rose to a #1 ranking on HostelWorld in 6 months

Blue Beds Hostel launched with empty beds, burning cash and low employee morale. After living onsite to gather guest feedback and refine their value proposition, the founders selected Cloudbeds — an all‑in‑one, cloud‑based hospitality platform (PMS, channel manager via myallocator, invoicing and email automation) — because it was affordable, easy to use and offered strong sales and implementation support.

Cloudbeds provided a unified PMS, channel management, automated emails, cash‑drawer and reporting plus a clear calendar view that simplified reservations and pricing. That automation cut paperwork and labor, enabled channel‑based dynamic pricing, boosted review generation and occupancy, and helped Blue Beds climb to the #1 ranking on HostelWorld within months while improving operational efficiency and driving more direct bookings.
