For many years, HostelSnap has integrated with the MyAllocator channel manager to synchronize rates and availability across multiple booking channels.

Recently, Cloudbeds, the parent company of MyAllocator, discontinued the availability of MyAllocator as a stand-alone product. As a result, many PMS systems that previously integrated with MyAllocator will no longer function unless the hostel already has an existing MyAllocator account.

For the hostel industry, we believe Cloudbeds' decision to discontinue MyAllocator raises several concerns:

It reduces the number of PMS choices available to hostel owners.
It limits interoperability between independent software platforms.
It pushes hostels toward a single vendor ecosystem that may not fit every property's needs or budget.

Many smaller hostels rely on simple and affordable technology stacks rather than large PMS systems. Removing the stand-alone channel manager option makes it harder for these properties to remain competitive unless they adopt the Cloudbeds PMS.

We also believe this decision contradicts earlier statements by Cloudbeds leadership that MyAllocator would remain a platform-agnostic channel manager when Cloudbeds acquired the company. See our interview with CEO Adam Harris here.

We believe the hostel industry benefits from open platforms and healthy competition between software providers.

If you share these concerns, you may wish to communicate your feedback directly to Cloudbeds.

Important: If your hostel already has an existing MyAllocator account, we can still onboard you to the HostelSnap PMS and connect it to MyAllocator.
