Hi Joanne, I would say go ahead and book- you can often make changes with a small fee just read the fine print!

My plan was hoping to wing it and book it as I go, but I am also hoping to stay in fun hostels where I can meet lots of other travellers. Do you think most of the good places will be booked? Do you think it’s better not to risk and to just book?
Also I just wanted to mention your blog has been so helpful, you have had a massive inspiration towards my trip :)

I didn’t forget :) It’s in there. I mention it along with some others in Goa – I’ve linked to an article I wrote specifically about hostels in Goa as there are so many.

Just got back from CrashPad, Jodhpur. Even though it was a decent stay, charging 35 bucks for a black coffee where their helper handed me a mug of hot water and coffee satchet to mix it on my own looked very bad. I wish they had told me that using their coffee powder and hot water would cost me too. I would have brought coffee with me like I always do. That wasn’t nice. And dirty washrooms. :/
I was in Stops, Varanasi and what a fabulous place! With free breakfast and unlimited amount of coffee powder at our disposal. And an extremely helpful staff. My best hostel stay so far.
Stayed in Wanderers and Red Door hostels in Goa last year. Both were amazing too.
I think except CrashPad my experience so far has been pretty good. Looking forward to exploring the other options in your list soon. :)

Although you have missed out some of my favourites… Maritime hostel in Kochi (one of my faves worldwide in fact) plus they have others in the hostel crowd group. I enjoyed the dirt cheap wind n waves in allepey too. Caroline xx

It really just depends on if you are going to drink, and if you eat indian or western food – minimum though you need about 300 Rs per day per person not counting accom.
