Accommodation
Hostel Plus trips host our most eclectic types of accommodation. While modern hostels make up the majority of your
overnighters you could also stay in hotels (free upgrade - yeah!) or bungalows.

The 'More Inclusions' section details what type of accommodation will be used for overnight stops on your trip.

The number of people to a room on Hostel Plus trips will vary. For hostels you will have multi-share rooms and usually share
with between 3 and 5 others (although in some circumstances you will share with more than 5) while in hotels there will be
twin or triple-shares (and the odd quad-room). Bungalows can be up to 4 people to a room.

Please note: When staying on a Hostel Plus trip, multi-share accommodation is single-sex.

Meals
Your included meals are detailed in the 'More Inclusions' section of this document.

Breakfasts are included every day (except on the first morning). Included meals will be a combination of those prepared by
Topdeck On-SiteChefs, local restaurants and places in which we stay.

If you have any dietary requirements we will make every effort to cater to your specific needs as long as you advise your
travel agent orCustomer Service Consultant when you book, or make note of this in the Topdeck app when you check in
(refer below). However, please be aware that although we will do everything in our power to arrange it, we cannot guarantee
that every restaurant we use will be able to cater to all dietary needs, particularly in Eastern Europe. We also cannot cater for
tastes or dislikes, as most of our included evening meals feature a set menu.

No Tip Necessary
Your Topdeck crew never expect tips themselves and will not ask for any; that’s not what friends do! We also know how
much tipping can cost you. So go ahead, spoil yourself with the money you will save by travelling with Topdeck (just don’t
forget Mum’s souvenir).

Passenger safety
One of the best parts of travelling is experiencing the nightlife and entertainment each city has to offer. However, amidst the
fun and excitement, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings and personal safety as well. Before you hit the road with
us, it’s important to be aware of the following:

When you’re on a night out, remember to avoid walking alone, particularly through deserted areas like beaches and back
streets. Always stick together, take a taxi where possible, and keep a note of your accommodation details so you can find
your way back to your fellow Topdeckers if you become separated.

In some countries, alcoholic measures can be considerably larger than what you may be used to. Try to keep track of what
you’re drinking, and if you see one of your trip mates looking a little worse for wear, take them back to your accommodation.
Be cautious when accepting drinks from strangers and never leave your drink unattended.

It’s also important to be aware that what you might consider harmless flirting may be interpreted differently in some
countries. Be yourself and have fun, but don’t be naïve, and be mindful of the signals you are sending out so that you don’t
find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.
