Good
And they use another booking platform called Yadosys, which you can use to book directly with them: YANBARU HOSTELPlan List
Not all of the smaller (and more affordable) places have their own site or booking system, and rely on either call-in bookings (old school) or dedicated platforms like Hostelworld and Booking.com (which is in hot water of its own).
