They are wonderful people, and couldn’t have been nicer or more friendly. I would stay again. It’s a good price and the location is off the Main Street so is quite but it’s not the Ritz, so don’t expect it to be for the price. Great value if you’re on a tight budget. I went for the snorkelling and saw an eagle ray for five minutes, 2 sea turtles, 4 sting ray, and lots of parrot fish, and a star fish. Definitely recommend!
Nothing really. Everything was as I’d expected. There were a couple of small cockroaches, but easily dealt with, and not hot water but showers still nice. And in the heat you wouldn’t want a hot shower!

Spacious and clean room. Common Kitchen well equiped and it's very nice for cooking. You have also a coffee maker in the room and a good fridge. Beds are really very comfortable. 20 mintues walk from the beach. You can go to the beach for free if you go by the left road. Fruit markets not far from the house. Free drinking water available.
Very noisy by evening. For us it was ok as we were very tired. In front of our room people were permanantly moovig and speaking loudly. Not a lot of privacy. Can't leave window without curtains as everybody see inside the room.

small, personal and super casual. loved that there was a washer and dryer available for use. the room, upgraded from dorm to private due to confusion on booking.com, was just perfect. nothing fancy, but it was very clean, had hot shower, air conditioning and the bed so comfortable. tv was an unexpected surprise, and wifi was strong enough. Location was also good. Made for a nice walk everyday to go to the beach. It was also easy to find.
the dorm space i had originally intended on staying. it was cramped with Messy Messy people staying. would not have been comfortable had i chosen to stay in it. lockers also weren’t bolted down so even trying to put something in it was difficult. and because booking.com confusion, i thought i was getting a twin bed in the dorm, when only bunks are available. the room upgrade to a single private was absolutely worth it and made the initial frustrations disappear.

The rooms were very comfortable. Nice to have access to the kitchen. Parking available on the street.
Problems with the 1st night reservation through Bookings. I didn’t really mind but hotel looks like it is under construction. No nice beaches nearby. Akumal beach is small, cordoned off and pricey. Half moon beach is not really accessible to the public and it is very rocky.

Host Viktor has really thought through how to equip the room. It had everything, kitchenette, hairdryer, safe box, good Wi-Fi, fan and air con. Super nice hosts. One suggestion would be to add a drying rack for wet clothes inside the room.
The hostel is still being built so looks a bit like a construction site, but we never heard any construction noise, so this is a very small gripe.

Good hostel with helpful staff. Our shower stopped working and they had it fixed within five minutes of us telling them.
Quite a bit of noise in the neighbourhood, and the room actually got a bit cold at night. Blankets or an extra sheet would have been nice.

The Hostel is small, you get to know people easy. We had a private room, which was very clean. The staff was very nice and gave us some good advices. We liked the location. It is situated in the village, where the real Mexican life is going on. For example we drank a beer with the neighbors :) (Their dog Blancita is going to have Babies in 10-20 days 😍
The way to the beach is about 10 Minutes by foot. For us it wasn’t a Problem.. Beach isn’t for free. But you can just pretend to go to one of the restaurants at the beach, than you can enter without paying the fee.

I loved my stay here. Firstly, know that this is a very local and "familia" vibed place. Expect to see and hear children playing in the streets, dogs chilling and barking, and neighbors partying until all hours. It is not touristy and it's not a hotel, it's more like a guesthouse living with Mexican residents! (And this is what I personally loved... it's culture + it's authentic.) The wifi worked well enough and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook- I made delicious & healthy food for myself 3 times during my stay; it was appreciated. There is free water and an AMAZINGLY cheap local market just 2 mins walk away. The fruit and vegetables here are so fresh and cheap, wow. The private room was very clean and there was free/complimentary shampoo + a towel. The lady who works/lives on site is so friendly and helpful. Gracias x
The plants looked like they were dying! They need to be watered more. :)

Great rooftop view for sunsets. Comfortable rooms with fans and AC. Included towels and soaps. The owners are very kind and helpful! Bicycles help a lot to get around town and to beaches.
