See there are mainly two regions in Goa. North Goa and South Goa . North Goa being happening region whereas south being like a soul soothing one
And you can find budget stays from zostel, airbnb and oyo according to your area of interest..
I would suggest if you are more than 3-4 people, book a villa

Happy Travelling Bro!!!
That depends on where in Goa you would be staying . North Goa is generally crowded and South Goa is secluded, lot of people stay in North Goa when they visit for the first time.
Any number of days is fine.. You will just have to plan accordingly.. rather than just being boozed up or stoned.. have a full goa visit.. do some water sports.. etc
Hey Deepanshu,
Spend at least 4 days in Goa ( two for North Goa, one for South Goa, one for Scuba ).
THINGS TO DO IN GOA :
1)North Goa Beaches: Anjuna, Baga, Calangute,
2)South Goa Beaches: Colva, Butterfly, Palolem, Agonda, Netravali Lake
3)Fort Aguada ( Movie 'Dil Chahta Hai' was shooted here )
4)Dudhsagar waterfalls ( 2.5 hours, 60km from Goa)
5)Activities: Scuba, Parasailing, Mandovi River cruise ( Casino and party), A boat ride for Dolphin watching
6)We enjoyed all nights in Goa by drinking and sitting on the beach and returning to a hotel room in morning 4-5AM. Then the next day started wandering again from 1 PM and at last in the evening back to the beach.
Happy travelling!!!!!!
