Hostelova
find your stay.

Hostelova helps students in India find verified hostels, PGs and flats near their college — live in Lucknow today and expanding across Uttar Pradesh. Compare real photos, room types and the full price up front, then book securely online with instant confirmation.

What the badges mean

Verified by Hostelova means our team checked the listing’s details and photos before it went live. ID verified owner means the owner’s identity and ownership documents were approved. Added by Hostelova means we listed the place ourselves and its owner has not joined yet, so you contact them directly.

How you pay is a separate fact, and every listing says which it is. Pay online listings are booked and paid here or in the app, with a receipt. Pay at hostel listings are paid to the owner after you see the room — that money never passes through Hostelova.

Transparent pricing

Monthly rent is shown for every room type, with the refundable security deposit, maintenance and the service fee listed separately before you pay. Hostelova is free for students to search, compare and enquire, and charges no brokerage.

Booking, cancellation and refunds

Bookings are paid through Razorpay and confirmed instantly with an emailed receipt. Cancel within 3 days of booking and before move-in, and the booking amount is refunded to your original payment method within 5–7 working days — the service fee is non-refundable. Every refund is tracked live from Pending through to Completed.
