Hostels – Best for Solo Travellers and Friends group
Hostels are the best place to stay if you are travelling solo and you are on a tight budget. You get to meet a lot of like-minded people. The hostels are loved by solo female travellers as it offers them security and comfort. You can get access to the lounge, common sitting area, playing area, and kitchen at affordable prices. These are best for long stays. Goa is filled with so many hostels, these hostels range from very basic ones to exotic ones. The prices differ based on the amenities and location. You can check these recommendations and choose what suits you the best.
Note: Hostels are not recommended for families.
