    Pretty much nothing.

    Easy check in, kind staff, really central, and overall good value for the area. Heads-up they require cash payment on site, will only hold with credit card.

    I was charged 406 MXN pesos more than the price quoted by booking.com at the time of my reservation. The reservation states that you will pay cash at the property which is fine but the price should remain the same as the quote. The hotel showed me the confirmation they received from booking.com which included the commission charged. So in other words the hotel passed along to me the commission they should be paying to use the booking.com platform. I complained to booking.com and they just “passed the buck” so no-one took responsibility. I’ve never had this happen before and I’ve paid cash at lots of places.

    Decent sized private room, very clean with comfortable beds (daily housekeeping was a bonus). The shared kitchen is very clean, well organized and has everything you need to make almost any kind of meal. The terrace is a great place to hang out and relax- usually a cool breeze blowing through. Great location, within walking distance to 2 beaches.

    Nothing could have been better. It is perfect - just as is.

    Maribel Torres - the owner/operator of Hostel Azul y Blanco - is just wonderful. Very friendly and very helpful...! The hostel (itself) was certainly one-of the-cleanest and best-maintained places I have *ever* stayed at (anywhere in the world). I *highly recommend* this place - and, I am already looking forward to my next-stay there...!

    I didn't expect that much from a hostel we just needed something basic to stay and booked a private room. All we need is a clean bed, bedroom and bathroom, and a good wifi. Easy access to many other businesses. A good pressure of shower which is usually a bit problem in Huatulco.

    This was one of the best hostals I have stayed in. Great location close to center of Crececito and about a 15 minute walk via the Tourist Corridor to Santa Cruz beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful and there was a good size, well equipped kitchen. The dorm I stayed in was spacious with good showers and fans as well as air conditioning during the night. Also, a large terrance with lines to hang washed clothes or wet bathing suits.

    The AC goes on in the dorm at either 8 or 9 pm and is shut off at either 5 or 6 am. There was no relief from the heat during the day and no really comfortable place to sit during the day.

    I liked that it’s in the town of La Crucecita with lots close by. The staff was excellent! The communal kitchen is well stocked and very clean.

    The place has potential to be more fun, like a roof with drinks or music and still be a place for rest on the night.

    I like the staff, they are very nice and they help you in any way they can. They offer locks so you can put your important stuff like chargers, keys, electronic devices inside the locker.

    Lockers could be a teeny bit bigger.

    Pretty good location -- close enough to everything you'd want to do. The staff don't speak English, but they're so kind and will help you to the best of their ability. Beds are decent and the place is kept super clean. I have been travelling South America for 4 months and I definitely found this to be the most social (but not party) hostel I visited during my trip. Everyone was so so friendly and I made a lot of friends.

    The only thing that could be improved upon with the private room would be a bedside light so that you don’t always have to use the harsh ceiling light in the evenings. The dorm room only has 1 toilet for everyone in the room. The sheets are changed daily which most people would like but I personally think is unnecessary and a waste of water. The cleaning lady leaves an envelope in the private rooms asking for tips which made me feel uncomfortable. I have stayed in hostels and hotels all over the world and have never experienced this before.

    The location was awesome in a central area with lots of stores and restaurants nearby and only about a 15 minute walk to Santa Cruz and a 20 minute walk from the ADO station. The woman working at reception is very friendly, ready to help/answer questions and was patient with me as I speak almost no Spanish. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need and they have drinking water available as well as coffee in the mornings. There is a really nice area to hangout on the terrace with comfy chairs and hammocks. The wifi worked well enough with three different ones to use, each of them seemed to work better on a specific floor. I stayed in both a private room and the dorm room when I was there. I liked how clean both were. The private room was comfy with air con, a fan, comfy bed and soap/towel provided. The dorm room had comfortable beds, lockers and air con/fans that were on at night.
