    Cozy hostel in Holbox

    The air in the dorm was rather stuffy, due to the small window. The air conditioning in the night made the room rather chilly, as no blankets were provided. Despite being nicely decorated and colourful, the hostel would benefit from some extra care, as a lick of paint here and there or better lockers, which were rather rusty and wobbly.

    The outdoor space was nice. The bed was very comfortable. The hostel had a cozy feel.

    Lovely stay in the tipi accommodation.

    Only thing was there was no soap or paper towels at the sink by the toilets / showers so washing your hands properly was difficult if you don’t have anti bacterial gel, you’d have to grab your own soap which wasn’t ideal... For the price I’d say basic things like hand soap and such should be included. Breakfast was also extremely basic for the price.

    The tipi was great, very cute and cosy. Mosquito net over the bed came in handy for sure, comfy bed and pillows and 2 fans were perfect. Hot showers and nice outside chilling space. Loved seeing the raccoons!!

    Not that much showers, sometimes I had to wait. But still clean and tidy. Breakfast is nice but not that special. Tipi's are a little dark. But all small points. Still loved the vibe here!

    Very nice and welcoming hostel. The staff is really nice and interested in you. Every day there is something organised like a streetfood tour, bioluminescence tour etc. So you can meet other people. Very good wifi

    The toilets were often clogged, but probably because of other guests. Other than that it was great.

    The hostel looks adorable with a great vibe. The hosts were really friendly and helpful, we could easily ask for anything and they would do their best to help. There were activities each day to take part in, which is good to socialise with others and get acquainted with the island. Loved it!

    Tipis could get a bit warm overnight if you stay there with 2 people, but not super hot so it was still good to sleep (there is a big fan but no AC).

    Amazing accommodation - loved the tipis, they are cozy and so cute. Great vibes, good community, staff is very caring and social. There are volunteers there who offer yoga and evening activities, both of which are 10/10 and can only be recommended. Clean shower and good breakfast.
