Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We loved the quiet area that it was in and it was just a short walk into town. The market is right next to Mana Kai where you can grab some fresh fruit and veg, yummy cheap food and souvenirs. The owners dad, Fransisco, was super friendly and was always up for a chat. He even picked some fruit from the trees for us. So lovely!

    Great location and price. Hugo is a good man, I recommend this above most B&b’s, hostel etc. You get free freshwater to drink, showers are amazing and bed not bad.

    Backpacking hostel, a way to save some money. A great way to meet people who can show you around. They had free rum punch from 6 - 9 pm at the bar and the chance to socialize and even share a blunt (if you're into that) The location was central, walking distance to a lot of food and tours. Exotic and underdeveloped. Birds woke me up every morning ( I will also include this in what I didn't like, lol)

    Location is great. Close to bus station and 3 minute walk from Cahal Pech. Staff did a great job planning events and brining people together. Sunday dinna was great! Bathrooms were big and spacious, I never had to wait to use a shower. Breakfast included is a nice feature. They will organize anything and everything for you. Jess is amazing and I had so much fun talking to her. Javi was an amazing tour guide! (And the rum punch was delicious) Hostel is super close to a really great restaurant and place to get drinks!
