I got some nice Berlin vibes from the building, and I enjoyed the cold coffee left over from the morning before (as I left earlier than 7:30 a.m., when they are supposed to usually make fresh coffee).

    It's cheap and completely different than other hostels, so no regrets staying 1 night. The location is fine, very close to the lake, but longer walk to the center. The studio was cozy, but since it contains windows/gaps without insect screens, the mosquito net (included) was necessary.

    I loved to stay here. You pay a hostel price but get your own little room, with fan and mosquito net. I liked the outdoor showers and the breakfast in the morning, freshly prepared by friendly Delmar. Also Zulie who was there during the day was very friendly and helpful. The lagoon with the huge pier is just around the corner, also there are some cheap alternative food places which are open late, and they are very cheap. If I am back in Bacalar I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

    Nice hostel with a great location, good vibe, very friendly and helpful staff. Especially Humberto went the extra mile and printed out some needed papers outside the hostel. Excellent service.

    What a fantastic place. Such good value for money. Brilliant location of you’re looking to stay in the town. We spent a few days directly on the lake before staying here. This was place was way cheaper and we preferred it to our hotel by some distance. Comfy, cosy, clean, safe, air conditioned and also had Netflix which was a nice treat after long days in the sun. So many great restaurants and cafes nearby. Wish we stayed here for the entirety of our time in Bacalar. If you’re on a budget you won’t regret staying here!

    Very nice social hostel. Lots of activities. I booked one night to make friends and after I stayed at a cheaper place but you can still walk into the hostel and participate with activities, as its also opened for restaurant or party guests. Also great location.

    The hostel is well taken care of, great location, clean, social activities. Just on the water, nice place to chill. Big lockers, friendly helpful staff, felt really safe also. Nice restaurant but a bit overpriced.
