Every year, Hostelling International, the non-profit youth organisation with a network of nearly 4000 hostels within 91 countries organizes a HI5ives Hostel Awards ceremony to recognize member associations and hostels with the best performance in the year.

This year, the ceremony took place in Toledo, Spain, with prizes awarded in five different categories based on ratings left by customers on hihostels.com.  These included most comfortable hostel, friendliest hostel, green hostel, best hostel and best National Association of hostels.

Out of the 5 awards, HKYHA has won two big ones:
