Traveling, exploring a city, staying at a hostel participating in a tourist activity should be possible for everyone, regardless of their abilities or specific needs. With this in mind, many tourism organizations are now committed to promoting accessibility and inclusion.
At Auberges de Jeunesse, this vision is an integral part of our values. We firmly believe that tourism should be an open, welcoming, and enriching experience for all travelers.
Access-i is a leading resource in Wallonia and Brussels for information on accessibility. Its goal is to provide visitors with reliable, clear, and verified information about the level of accessibility at venues open to the public. Each site evaluated undergoes an audit conducted by accessibility experts, which identifies strengths and potential areas for improvement based on various specific needs.
The purpose of the certification is not only to certify a venue, but also to enable visitors to plan their stay with confidence thanks to transparent and detailed information.
Most of our hostels have earned Access-i certification, demonstrating our commitment to making tourism accessible to as many people as possible.
This approach is a natural extension of our mission: to offer welcoming, inclusive, and accessible accommodations. It also reflects our commitment to continuously improving our services for guests with special needs, whether they have limited mobility or face visual, hearing, or comprehension challenges.
Each hostel has its own Access-i profile detailing useful information to help you plan your stay. Accessibility levels may vary from one property to another, but our goal remains the same: to enable everyone to travel under the best possible conditions.
Accessibility is not limited to physical accommodations. It also encompasses hospitality, information, independence, and the opportunity for everyone to enjoy a stress-free travel experience.
By joining the Access-i initiative, we are reaffirming our commitment to more inclusive and responsible tourism. Because exploring Wallonia and Brussels, meeting other travelers, and enjoying new experiences should never be a matter of accessibility.

Together, let's make tourism an adventure that's accessible to everyone.
