Happy Gecko Hostel Reviews

spacious privates, great atmosphere, awesome staff! And the rooftop is such a great place to hang out and to start the night there - or better: to celebrate the night there!

Great little place, close from the beach. Nice clean rooms and tons of facilities. The staff are the nicest people. Made my stay totally worth it. They also have an awsome bar on the roof, where you can meet people from all over the world travelling just like you or get to know some locals that like hanging out there. Definitely a place I'll like to come back some day.

I had such a fab time in Happy Gecko Hostel and wanted to thank all the staff for being so great! Everyone is super friendly and there is a great atmosphere :-). The beds are comfy and everything is clean and the location is very good too, just 10 minutes away from the bus station ( that is if you walk very slowly) and 3 minutes from the beach! My whole stay there was just awesome.

The music was way to loud and did not turn down at 11pm like it said it would. The hostel had little character!

No change of bed linen and never clean towels. When asking about it the staff just shrugged and blamed their laundry service. Random people were given permission to enter our room and use our private bathroom. No key to the door to our room and no gate to enter the hostel, i.e. very unsafe. Very loud music the whole night, every night, from the hostel bar that is right next to the rooms -in which there is a note saying "no noice after 11pm"! Even with ear plugs it was loud. Stayed there 6 nights

Its the best place to stay in whole Playa del Carmen. Everything is perfect.

This hostel is pretty awful. I wouldn't advise staying here unless you would like to be up until 2am every night with techno music coming from the hostel bar. The staff seem to hate working there and are very unhelpful. Springs coming out of the beds, bugs crawling on the walls and mold on the ceiling...pretty much the worst hostel I've ever stayed in. Try to find somewhere else if you'll be in Playa del Carmen!

Great place to stay, especially for girls because they have open bar every night from 10 to 11 :) clean rooms and really good location!

Happy gecko is a very enjoyable place to chill out for a little bit and enjoy the beauty of playa del carmen. the staff is very friendly and it is very easy to meet people from all over the world. the hostel is very safe and the rooms are very well maintaned. such a good time can´t wait to come back, take care guys
