The Flemish Youth Hostels Association (Vlaamse JeugdHerbergen or VJH) is the coordinating organisation of 23 youth hostels in Flanders. The association was founded in 1931, and is a founding member of the international network Hosteling International. Worldwide youth hostels aim at one mission: giving everyone the opportunity to discover the world, meet other cultures and make new friends! We try to achieve this by offering budget-friendly accommodation, where quality, safety and friendliness are the main concerns.
