Yes, in the world of hostels, these are known as "Mixed Dorms," and they are the most common and often the cheapest type of accommodation. In a mixed dorm, people of all genders share the same bunk-bed room and typically use a communal bathroom (though some rooms have "ensuite" bathrooms). This is a standard practice in backpacker culture worldwide. However, for those who feel uncomfortable with this arrangement, almost all reputable hostels also offer "Female-Only Dorms" specifically for women. "Male-Only Dorms" are less common but do exist in some larger establishments. In 2026, many modern "boutique" hostels have moved toward pod-style beds with curtains, which provide a high level of individual privacy regardless of the gender of the other people in the room. When booking, it is essential to read the room description carefully; if it says "Mixed," expect a diverse group of roommates, and if you prefer more privacy, look for gender-specific options.
