    Great heimish respite from the mainland party hostels

    Beds weren't bad, but they weren't the nicest I've been in. The AC hours are a little stingy (10 PM to 8 AM iirc) and can make it hard if you want to take a siesta to avoid the afternoon heat or to rest after morning dives. There is no indoor kitchen or social area, so bring lots of DEET bug spray and be prepared for some sultry afternoons/nights hanging out on the patio.

    Kathy the landlady is amazing--she gives an incredible amount of detail and tips for Cozumel on check in, and is almost always around to answer questions about the island. The pool is very nice, the hostel is social without being a party hostel, and you get a good mix of ages from 18 to 60+ so you get lots of different perspectives. Less than a 10 minute walk from the Malecón (coastal street), grocery stores, and other amenities.

    Had a great time at Amigos and would highly recommend this hostel to other solo travellers and backpackers visiting Cozu

    My only complaint is that there aren’t railings on each side of the top bunks, which means it would be possible to fall off one side if you aren’t careful.

    Loved the pool and the yard (especially the hammocks). There’s a fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ. This hostel isn’t very big, so you get to know all the other guests during your stay. Cathy was very helpful with all her recommendations of things to do and places to eat.

    I actually didn't mind these things at all but just to know: no privacy curtains on the beds. Thats all:)

    I would 100% stay here again. The women who owns it is so lovely and helpful- all of her recommendations were great! The dive shop she recommends also has a 5% discount for guests who dive with them (Deep Blue) which is right in town. I also dove a at a place outside of town that was great but the taxi costs did add up so I ultimately preferred Deep Blue. The pool was clean and well used. The other guest were super friendly and social (I was solo and never spent an evening alone).

    There is nothing not to like

    Kathy’s little piece of paradise couldn’t be better. From the wonderful pool, well looked after dorms to the super clean community kitchen… the vibe here is wonderful. Great part of town away from the hustle and bustle and close to local restaurants and supermarkets. I can for 2 days and stayed for 2 weeks. Kathy provides a welcome respite from partying in Playa and has a top notch place to relax, chill , dive and immerse in the Cozumel culture. Thanks for everything and looking forward to my next stay!

    The weather wasn't amazing, but you could still hang out in the common area enjoying the backyard views. Caty has a great knowledge of the area and gives you tips to discover the essence of Cozumel

    If the aircon started a little earlier than 10pm that would’ve been nice

    Kathy is an amazing owner and host - takes a lot of time with each guest to give them a lot of very helpful information. The pool is really big and nice - everyone tends to gather around after scuba diving in the morning and chat for hours. Big spacious backyard, comfortable beds, cold AC (only at night), and plenty of showers and toilets around.

    Great hostel

    The host could sometimes come off as a bit strict and her introduction to the hostel seemed very rehearsed and paced, which didn't feel like a warm welcomst - even though I'm sure that was the intention. But that's a small thing and on the other hand you will be sure that everything is organised and structured.

    The host was very nice and helpful. The environment in the hostel was very good, and it was easy to meet people. The rooms felt really clean and there was a good Aircon at night. One of the best hostels I have stayed in so far, and have recommended it to everybody on my way.

    A little far from the sea. But they have 2 bikes to use to run errands like to the supermarket/bank. Also you had to pay for drinking water where as most hostels ive stayed in offer this for free.

    Cathy (the owner) is very friendly and thorough and very informative. Made pancakes for us one morning. Very kind :) looks after everyone very well, like a mum :)

    Kathy is a great host and will give you all the infos you want to know about the island of Cozumel. She can also arrange scooter rentals and snorkeling tours for a very good price. The hostel is very relaxed and quiet, the pool is great and you have a kitchen in case you wanna cook your meals. You have water refills for 2 mx pesos.

    Felt like I was staying in someone else’s house as a guest and not a hostel. Kathy the owner gives an in-depth introduction that’s well rehearsed and to a level of detail that’s just not necessary. Not a place to easily make friends and do activities with

    Good WiFi, reasonably priced and had a pool

    If you don't want to be told how to live your life and spend your vacation then definitely don't stay in this hostel. Cathy, the owner probably thinks that people wouldn't make it through without her detailed advices. She creates very strict and uncomfortable atmosphere in the hostel. She also wouldn't forget to remind us that we have 1 minute left for the check out and then we had to rush out of her property. I believe that Cathy is a nice and kind person who only likes to help/ direct people but unfortunately we didn't feel good around her
