Maui Hostels Tulum features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Tulum. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar.

Everyone on staff was kind, welcoming, and helpful. I stayed in a shared room that was clean and I loved the softness of the sheets and the bed was super comfortable. I also love that they don't try to cut costs with rigid A/C rules and actually care that guests are taken care of and feel comfortable in the room. Aside from that, the atmosphere in Maui is great! As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and happy in all spaces on the property. Everyone, including long-term guests, are lovely people. They made it feel like a happy home! They always greeted me when I left for the day and when I returned. Special shoutout to Alleryn, Fabi, and Humberto who were extra attentive and were always looking out for me. And Pablo for always making sure the room was clean and tidy. Another bonus is the presence of Peter and Chicha, two of the sweetest furry friends one could ever ask for.

Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, a garden as well as a shared lounge, Hostal Doña Lucha is located in the centre of Tulum, 3.6 km from Tulum Archeological Site.

Tulum Bus station is 1 km from the hostel, while Bus station Tulum Ruins is 2.8 km away. The nearest airport is Tulum International Airport, 38 km from Hostal Doña Lucha.

Hostal Dona Lucha was a home away from home. The hostess Dani was so friendly and welcoming, she was helpful and knowledgeable. It was like visiting a relative. The shared room was comfortable and I slept well every night. No bed bugs but watch out for the mosquitoes. The bathrooms were always clean. The outdoor kitchen had everything I needed. The location is a short walk (10 minutes) from the ADO bus station. You need to walk through the sushi restaurant to get to the entrance. There are plenty of restaurants around and the Main Street is two short blocks north (where all the tourist shops and bars are). Dani or her colleagues can advise on cheaper restaurant options. The plunge pool was a perfect place to cool off.

    Great dorms, first time solo travelling in a hostel. Felt very comfortable and safe. Felt private in the beds, nice and comfortable. Toilets and bathroom were clean. Whole building well maintained. Beautiful common rooms. Good breakfast deal, cheaper than most places. Events were plentiful and organised well to socialise and explore Tulum.

    Very nice hostel with a beautiful indoor area and pool. The dorms are spacious and the curtains in front of the beds are really comfortable. The location is also great because you can get to the center relatively quickly and walk to most things except the beach. There is a program every day, which means that as a solo traveler it's easy to meet new people :)

    Everything was just perfect. Alejandra is an absolute angel & she made sure that everyone (not just us) felt welcome and almost at home. When we arrived we got a Welcome Drink which was just amazing. The breakfast was unbeatable, the location is like a tiny paradise and the other employees are just as nice. Pool is a big plus and very Clean. You can rent a bike for noch charge to explore Tulum. Even when we left Alejandra made sure to tell us that we could contact her at any time if we need help during our travels. Best Hostel ever.

    If you love cats and dogs this is the best hostel. It's a cool concept and surprisingly comfy. The tubo was great, perfect amount of privacy at an affordable price. The location is super convenient for everything, the beach is a 10min bike ride away, and the ruins are a 10min bike ride away.
