    The fan in the tent was very noisy, so we did not use it at night. WiFi is not always working

    Perfect location next to the beach and all the restaurants and bars, but also walking distance from the ferry. Very good vibe, lovely staff. We slept outside in the tents, in general it is very quiet after 11pm (or earlier). Great breakfast!!

    I booked for one night and ended up staying for 3. The hostel has a great vibe, everyone is super nice and helpful. The receptionists would always be there to help you and to give you recommendations about the island. It’s a cozy, family vibe hostel.

    Aircons, too powerful and too cold in my opinion.

    Really cool and chilled place, would come there again because it's no party hostel, in a good location, and I met really nice travelers with a similar mindset.

    The bank beds are very close to each other, and there is hardly any space between beds

    The location of this hostel, it is in the centre and very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Great vibes at the hostel, every day they organize a group activity. Breakfast was included and honestly best pancakes ever had in my life, every day something different for breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpful

    No issues during our stay!

    Great little hostel in Holbox. We stayed in one of the tipis which was spacious and comfortable with two fans, mosquito net and plug in repellent provided, towels included. The toilets and showers were always clean and the water was always hot. Breakfast was provided and had a nice variety of cereals, bread, fruit and eggs. The whole hostel has a lovely chilled vibe and a beautiful garden with places to sit and socialise and hammocks to hang around in. Plenty of activities planned for every day too should you wish to join in. Quiet hours in place from 11pm and it was always quiet during our stay which we appreciated. Wifi worked for the most part, drop outs are expected with the weather and being on an island. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    The dorm rooms smell musty, but after the AC is running it gets less. For the rest I really liked my stay:)

    Location is close to the beach. Different breakfast every day was nice! Outdoor showers with view on the palmtrees give you an instant island vibe.

    the volunteers seemed to be in their own world (not very attentive to guests, and not creating a social atmosphere), none of the activities actually happened (they said it was because not enough people signed up, but they never came around inviting guests to sign up or even notify us that we had to sign up)

    Super comfy tents (fan + nice mattress, loads of room for bags), great and varied breakfast, loved the hammock area for chilling or having a drink in the evening, central location
