How a hostel gets it
It comes with the plan. A hostel on Max wears the Gold hostel badge from the day the plan starts, and loses it when the plan ends. There is nothing to apply for and no listing is promoted by hand — the plan sets the badge, and the badge sets the position.
What it does not do
It does not change what the listing says. Rent, rooms, facilities and reviews stay the hostel's own — the badge decides only where that listing is met.
The other badge
The badge comes with Max, along with everything else on the plan.
