We loved this hostel! We stayed more times and there was always an excellent atmosphere. Staff is really amazing and very helpful. The only bad experience we had was that some of our luggage was stolen but we didn't mind that so much as that can always happen in a hostel.

Awesome hostel, I really enjoyed it and had a great time. The staff is so fun and extra helpful, every one acts like family or close friends. Man, the best hostel party I have ever been to was hosted there on a Thursday night. The location is perfect, close to the bus station, the local night life, and the public plaza. Great resteraunts and food all around. Great stay for budget travellers.

If I could rate the staff at 150% I would. The staff is truly the charm of Ka'beh. They manage to create a home away from home feeling to the place and they interact with the guests on a regular basis. If I could spend months there, I would. My advice: stay at Ka'beh and bring new ideas for drinking games. :)

i like this place cause it's really chill. it's also a pretty hostel, and they give you breakfast which you have to cook by yourself. staff is friendly too, and knows a lot about cancun. the beds weren't so clean though. the linens were kinda dirty, and the pillowcase had this gross smell. also, when we checked in, the mexican lady tried to charge us more in pesos. recommend paying the remaining balance in american dollars. it also gets REALLY loud at night. they should have quiet hours.

Hostel Ka'beh was a great place to start (and end) my Riviera Maya vacation. Traveling solo, I was anxious at first, but when I showed up in the evening and everyone invited me to play 'tequila Jenga,' I felt warmly received. Very friendly and social staff (which is the point, no?). The hostel is downtown Cancun, which means that you pay much less than a hotel and all you have to do is take a cheap and frequent bus to the beach and Tourist Zone. I recommend Hostel Ka'beh for your budget travels!

This hostel is ok, nothing special. If you are just passing through and need a convenient place to stay it'll work but I wouldn't spend much time there. It is really loud & definitely a social hostel. The common area is good for meeting others and the staff is happy to drink and hangout. I wasn't too impressed by the accommodations though. The beds could really use nicer linens and the bathrooms didn't feel very clean to me. It is also really small. Hammocks weren't set up properly either :(

We booked a room for 4 persons. When we arrived, they made it seem like a gift that we could sleep in the dorm for 10 people. We coped with it, but the room was VERY loud, animals were on the beds, the bathroom was filthy... We didn't feel safe. We've visited many other hostels in Mexico by now, and this one really is the baddest. Nice staff though.

Had a great time at the Hostel and found it hard to leave hence why I ended up staying nearly a whole extra week. The atmosphere was brilliant and the staff all really friendly. It is a great place to have fun but you can also chill out quietly and have peace if you want. I would totally stay here again. It's like a big family ;D

For the price paid this was an ok hostel to stay at. The rooms are very small, and there are only two bathrooms to share for everyone. It was not very clean and it was extremely loud during the night.

Would highly recommend this hostel. The staff are AMAZING so friendly and helpful. The small size of the hostel gives a family feel. Bus terminal close to hostel and some nice local resturants close by.

I stayed for a night recently, and came out ridden with mosquito bites. The place itself is good, but this little detail stained the trip. The window could not shut properly as it was slightly off the hinges, and in any case the mosquito net on the window was torn. The mosquito bites were so severe that it turned into a bacterial infection, and I look like a chicken pox 'before' picture. Completely destroyed my week.

Nice place, close to the busstation. Friendly staff. Cancun is not the place to stay for a long time, but while you're there this is a good choice.

Awesome character. The staff created an awesome environment and there was some sort of activity to do every night whether it was tequila jenga or guacamole night. Close to town and a supermarket as well. Definitely stay there again.
