    It’s cold at night in Chiapas in the springtime. The building was drafty, and during the rainy season a bit damp.

    This is a Mexican woman’s cooperative with spontaneous live music and gatherings. The murals are beautiful and the garden has native herbs and trees.

    It's a bit outside the centre, but that's clear from the listing so it's not a complaint.

    The volunteers are a group of beautiful souls and there's something really special about this place. It's clean and comfortable and has loads of communal spaces.

    Mexico has a big problem with water shortages.

    Very eclectic group of people. There were always artsy and musical events going on

    The project of this non-mixed, women operated hostel is fantastic : social, artistic, cultural, you’ll truly find a vibrant community over there, the owners are beautiful people. A bit further out of the city center but the atmosphere is worth it. The hostel is still quite young (4 months) so the ladies are still working to improve on the house, I would point out the need for more isolation in the common areas because it’s cold during the nights. Rooms are fine though and plenty of blankets to sneak under. Definitely loved San Cristobal and this hostel largely contributed to it !

    The shower was a bit rubbish.

    The people are amazing. The owner is the most delightful women and the guests are just as great. I even did a poetry recital to some of them. Home cooked, different breakfast every morning, lots of creative activities going on, WhatsApp group to stay in the loop. Lovely lovely place. Ended up staying an additional day it was so nice.

    Really what a special community. The staff, volunteers, and people that are attracted to this place were such caring and generous individuals. I felt so safe and that I could leave out a hundred bucks on the table without anyone even thinking of taking it. I wish more cities had hostels like this.

    Such a gorgeous place which has to be experienced to understand.. Such a wonderful energy, a radically safe place full of creativity. After only 4 days I felt I was in my own home with a family feel.. Shared breakfast, workshops! A highlight of my trip..

    Sometimes the breakfast was very small

    The bed was super comfortable, I slept like a baby with a cat that lives at the hostel. The wifi works very well and there is hot water. The kitchen is well equipped and they serve breakfast that varied depending on the day. Drinking water is available at all times. The team of volunteers was very friendly and the owners too. The vibes were very good and a welcoming atmosphere. There were events organised like sound healing, creative writing or drums workshop. I enjoyed my stay at Historika, and I would come back there when in San Cristóbal again

    girls hosts are doing so much in creating a creative community so there was a lot of events and celebrations and dinners which was amazing but with that I would say the cleanliness sometimes wasn’t the top priority.

    I had an amazing stay here. the passion and community that the girls are sharing and creating was incredible and really inspiring. it felt like a little family
