We require an in date government approved - passport or national ID card at check-in.
A booking for over 10 persons is considered a group booking and can not be booked through the normal booking site but need to be done through www.bookgroups.co.uk

Reservations can only be made with a MasterCard or Visa credit card. Maximum stay is 7 days. If you haven’t paid for your booking online you need to pay upon arrival and have the options to pay with credit card/ bankcard or cash (€).
We make every effort to accommodate you in the dormitory size of your choice. However, because of the nature of our business, we may have to place you in a different sized dormitory. As a result, the balance of your reservation can be slightly different than what is stated on your confirmation.
Our reception is open 24/7. If you arrive after midnight, you are required to leave your passport as a deposit until you complete your payment the next morning. Our tills are closed from 0.00-8.00 for security reasons.
You will be charged for all bookings you make. Please make sure you book at the hostel of your choice (Downtown, Uptown or the Beach Hostel, which is NOT in Amsterdam).
All nights of accommodation must be paid for on arrival or prior to your stay.
When making a booking at www.flyingpig.nl, you have the option to pay the full amount. We have a three weeks cancellation policy. If cancelled at least 3 weeks in advance, there is no charge. A full refund will be issued for 100% payments. If you cancel within the 3 weeks before arrival, the cancellation fee equals the first night of the stay. If 100% has been paid, the other nights will be refunded. If you have the option to pay 10% please note that this is non-refundable.
When there are no beds available in the same room for the requested date, click on the “custom booking” button on the right. This will give you the option to book several room types in one reservation. If there is a minimum stay required this is unfortunately not possible.
