My friend booked hostel by his name for us (2 beds). Can I use that document for a Schengen visa application?

I am applying for a Schengen visa through hostelworld. In hostelworld booking confirmation it starts with

Hi (Name of the person who did the booking).

I booked a few hostels with 2 beds for a friend traveling with me and he booked a few hostels. In the ones that he booked his name appears in the booking with 2 beds but not my name.

Can this be a problem for a Schengen visa application? Should he cancel his booking and let me book them instead?

He is not travelling with me, I will meet him there.

The Schengen visa means the visa is for the Schengen area; otherwise it will be called a country-specific visa. There is no requirement to enter first to the country who issued you visa and hence no hotel change issue.
