to get started.

Great hospitality. My favorite staff were Carlota, Mateo, Candy, Juan. Breakfast was awesome Activities were incredible Location was perfect Staff was friendly (except the morning bartender, a girl from Argentina that I can't remember her name, I think she said Aylen, she was very rude, 0 customer service skills, I honestly don't know how she got the job)

Victor, United States of America

The location was amazing. The breakfast was just right and the tours and suggestion of the staff were awesome. I really thought the rooms were clean and well kept. Common areas made it easy to meet and make friends!

Lena, United States of America

A very good place!! The room in front of the laguna was amazing But it's not a peaceful place, because of the music until midnight. After that no more noise so it's not a big deal.

Elodie, France

Beautiful place to stay! Right on the shores of Lake Bacalar. Very clean with amazing bedroom views, filling breakfast. Bargain!

Judith, United States of America

Location! Location! Location! Room and bathroom were very clean. I need to mention we reserved a private room. Our room had a view to the lagoon and we loved it. Also a very short walk to the main square.

Lidia, Mexico

Right on the lake, clean, good vibes, great views, delicious free breakfast!

Really nice setting by the lake, where it's easy to meet new people at the hostel. Great activities - like burger day, live music and day trips! Best of all best showers so far! As well crazy nice kitchen, so you would love to go cook!

Great location, not far from center and with a private pontoon on the lagoon. Rooms were very nice, comfy beds and good bathroom. Good breakfast and lots of sitting areas. Best thing is the outside sitting area (also has a bar) and in the evening they prepare meals (eg. burgers).

When I was there with Christmas they didn’t have any special activities. There was a Christmas dinner but people had to cook there own food, this was quite strange. The hostel could make some money if they had a real Christmas dinner or some other Christmas related activities.
It looks really nice and clean! Great location!
