It's certainly one of those less glamourous areas of travelling to consider, but very vital! I stayed in a backpackers in Manly which had only mugs, one saucepan and three spoons for everyone to use. My partner ended up eating his cereal out of the saucepan! I loved this article! It’s certainly one of those less glamourous areas of travelling to consider, but very vital!

So you see, it doesn't really matter how many you have, in my opinion i think less is more as they are forced to give up the pot after they used it. but thats me.... otherwise i really like your check points for guests as many of them leave 80% for cleanliness and they don't really see what to look for to check for review. i get really angry when they saying that our cleanliness is between 80% and 90% when you have full house of people !!! they dont see that the place they go for piss is clean every single time and showers aren't clogged up with hair. I'm printing your check point and putting up in our backpackers for other people to really see what to check. Thanks guys, just carry on with your great work my boyfriend and i own backpackers and I must say – no matter how many pots you have, some people are very inconsiderate to others. for example- we have group of four people who used 5 pots to cook the meal and guess what – they’re full of food. and then other 20 guestshad to share to small pots.

Nothing sucks more than a hostel without pots. Actually, a hostel kitchen that lacks any of the necessary elements (pots, pans, spoons, forks, knives, mugs cups, etc) is just no fun. Ah too true!

A hostel kitchen can really save your budget as self catering will allow most people to travel for a much longer period of time. @Brian from nodebtworldtravel.com – You are right, food costs certainly add up fast.
