If you’re a female traveler exploring the world on a budget, dorm rooms are your best bet, but not everyone feels comfortable surrounded by strangers. If that’s the case with you, here’s why you should consider giving gender-specific dorms a shot.
Safe and Sound
You should leave stereotypes at the door when staying at hostels because they’re usually a safe environment. However, staying at a female dorm gives many travelers peace of mind. You can give them a shot if you’re new to the whole thing and concerned for your safety.
Special Features
This is not always the case, but female dorms sometimes tend to be better decorated than mixed ones. They can also come with special features, such as vanity mirror, hairdryer and hangers, which means they can be more practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Personal Preferences
At the end of the day, it all comes down to who you are as a person and what kind of friends you want to make on your trip. If you prefer female company in general, chances are you’ll find a stay in gender-specific dorm much more enjoyable.
