How we structured the CMS for a hostel template (HostelX)
Hostels sell three things at once: beds, experiences and a vibe. That shaped the CMS:
• Rooms: dorm / private / female-only, price per night, bed count, bath type, badges. One collection powers the listing, filters and detail pages • Activities: tours, classes, events, nightlife with categories, so guests browse it like a mini shop • Location: transport and walking times as CMS items, not hard-coded text • Blog: travel guides for search traffic
The trickiest part was the "book direct" comparison block, which shows what guests save vs OTAs without it feeling salesy.
How do you structure CMS for booking-style sites? Curious what others do for room types and add-ons.

Putting transport and walking times in the CMS instead of hard-coded text is a great call. On booking-style sites I do the same with anything that changes by season, so the team can update it without touching the layout.
