Iāve done this before. I booked through these folks: srprs.me
We didnāt find out where we were going until we were at the airport.
We ended up having a nice little weekend in Luxembourg. Never would have thought to visit there, so was really happy with it.

You get the weather forecast a little before so you do at least know what to pack
They also allowed us to put in preferences of type of holiday if we wanted to and also exclude a few countries.

Itās a great idea, but I prefer a little more control over where I stay, so I probably wouldnāt be brave enough to go with this.
LuckyTrip is what Iāve used in the past to find inspiration, but these days I just poke the dates I want into SkyScanner and see whatās cheapest and of interest.

Itās a shame itās expensive going solo using that service. But then again it is for most solo trips when booking with such.

Going solo is generally expensive, I found. Itās the accommodation costs mainly, but depending on how far oneās willing to drop their standards it can be made cheaper.

Iām imagining each of them sat on their separate beds, not talking to eachother, just on their phones tapping away on the community.

I agree with this. Accommodation for 1 tends to be pretty much the same cost as 2 people in my experience.
I think i may use my 1p Saving Challenge for a solo holiday next year
