Reservations
We want you to discover the National Seashore and the Point Reyes Hostel -- not a sign telling you that the hostel is full! While we welcome walk-in guests when possible, we highly recommend making an advance reservation to guarantee a place to sleep when you arrive.

Payment
We accept cash, travelers checks, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB.
A credit card is required to make a reservation, but during the check-in process you may choose to pay for your accommodations with cash or travelers checks instead.
Cancellation policy
If you need to cancel or change your reservation, at least 48 hours advance notice is required. If a cancellation is made without 48 hours notice, or if you do not arrive on the reserved date, your credit card will be charged for one night’s accommodation per person, and any additional nights reserved will be cancelled. (For groups, a different cancellation policy applies.)
Last-minute availability
If space isn't available on your preferred dates, you can get notifications about last-minute cancellations by subscribing to our Twitter feed. This can be especially useful if you're looking to stay in a private family room, which are often booked up far in advance.
Maximum stay policy
To better meet the spirit of our mission as an organization that fosters intercultural exchange through travel, the Golden Gate Council of Hostelling International USA has established the following maximum stay policy:
No guest may stay at one hostel location for more than 14 nights in a calendar year. Once a guest reaches their 14th night, s/he is not eligible to stay until January 1 of the following year. Additionally, no guest may stay more than 14 nights in any two-month period.
