Review and recommendations

If you’re a student looking for a low-budget party place in the woods of Anjuna, Xoxo Hostel was made for you. Xoxo is a unique looking spot because of its trendy A-frames and plenty of green space. The A-frame cabins at Xoxo are common to rural, forest regions of the US, Europe, and parts of Southeast Asia. However, they’re rarely seen in India. At Xoxo, the A-frame cabins hold their premium dorms where just 4 guests share 2 attached bathrooms and a balcony; they also have premium private rooms with balconies. Deluxe (regular) dorms and private rooms are also available in a normal building. The hostel provides free linen, towels and wi-fi. This place is not for those seeking tranquillity or a good night’s sleep. Music pumps throughout the place 24/7 as young, Indian travellers gather around the outdoor pool to drink and dance all day and night. Like the music, the hostel reception is also open 24/7. They also have an in-house restaurant and bar. Anjuna’s happening nightlife is very accessible should guests want to party elsewhere.
