How is it possible to setup a dormitory with HostelWorld? There is spotty documentation and everything I've tried over the years hasn't worked.

I've tried it with max guests 1 as a dorm and when a booking comes in from HW it appears as a booking for a private room. I've also tried setting up a shared room with x person additional rate but this functionality seems to not work in the nobeds direct booking engine as the booking engine doesn't honour the max guest quantity in the way I expect it to (I assume the max guest quantity in this case is "people per bed" which isn't appropriate for our specific use case).

What is the most optimal way of setting up a dorm room in nobeds for hostelworld?

"Guests quantity must be identical as on HostelWorld" doesn't make sense because if I set it to 1, HW prevents me from setting up a dorm room on their website. If I set it higher then it causes overbooking in the direct booking engine.

Thank you again! This is the only headache I've had with nobeds
