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.

    It’s one of the best hostels I’ve ever been to! Every details is carefully thought of, the breakfast was abundant and varied, the kitchen and the common areas was just a pleasure to the eyes, and the sleeping area was so spacious. Plus, the guys working there were all so kind and smiling.

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Mapache Hostel. It’s a super cute Hostel, with restaurants, bars and the beach near by, but also quiet in the night to have a good sleep and a common area to meet other backpackers. We had the tipi, which was really comfy. The staff is always around, super helpful and nice. During our stay the island was due to heavy rainfalls pretty muddy, but the hostel was always super clean, although the showers are outside. We’d definitely recommended! :)

    This is probably the best hostel you’ll stay at. The staff is incredibly nice. There’s an incredibly amount of activities going on (paid and not) and it’s literally a 1min walk to the beach. Cannot recommend enough. Mariam runs the travellers activities in such a fun way! She’s great. I would definitely come back.

    Great location, friendly staff, comfortable rooms. The common area was less social (most people chilled there to try to get some WiFi that is quite bad in Holbox in general), but it was easy to meet new people at the daily activities that the hostel offers. Tribu has a public bar with live music, jam sessions, salsa lessons, etc. It’s one of places to go at night in Holbox, but the drinks aren’t budget-friendly.
