After months of travelling, this is my absolute favourite hostel! Most days are wonderfully relaxed, chillin' out in the hammocks and all-day-long Mexican breakfasts, followed by usually quite crazy nights... The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing, and what makes it so different from any other hostel is the way staff and guests create the feeling of being a big family! People staying at other Cancun hostels are really missing out on something special!

Very happy place to be! Loved this hostel. The guys that run it go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Easy place to make new friends - really friendly group of staff who make you feel at home straight away which infects everyone who stays. They also helped me organise my trip to Cuba as well as day trips & activities round Cancun area. They're very helpful with local information like cheap laundry & great local eating spots. Really handy location near to bus terminal - thank you ka'beh!

Loved this hostel! The staff are amazing and make you feel completely at home. The atmosphere in this hostel is the best part, for someone travelling alone it is a perfect place to meet people. The best parties in Cancun too :)

First opinion was a little disappointing, broken bunk with no steps n other top bunk left 60cm between mattress and roof, so you could not sit up and the pet cat was sleeping on the bed..One girl who worked there wasn't helpful as she said she had no english and sat on facebook while the floor was filthy! We signed a form saying reduced noice after 10pm but there was drunk staff members n others having a loud party, it went until 3am.. HOWEVER, DAVE was amazing he gets %100! Changed our opinion!

Had so much fun staying at Ka'beh! Had booked three night but ended up staying for two weeks. The staff is super friendly and super crazy. The owner David is very helpful. We had loads of crazy parties, every night was something different. I'm especially a fan of the tequila jenga ;) I really miss everyone there. Andrea, if you see this- Life, Love and Happiness

A very welcoming home away from home, hostel Ka'beh was the solid ground amidst my crumbling footholds, as my trip to cancun grew more and more complicated. When I needed somewhere to relax, somewhere to talk, somewhere to reorganize, hostel Ka'beh was always there with open arms. The staff is friendly and willing to go the extra mile to assure you are comfortable on your visit to this yucatan city. I dont know what more y ou could hope for from the staff and space of a travelers hostel.

There's no shortage of hostels in Cancun, but Ka' Beh definitely stands out. The owner, David, was fully engaged in making sure everything was going as smoothly as possible, and on top of that is a great guy to be around. The staff is also very attentive and friendly and makes sure everybody feels welcome. I slept like a baby every night in the hammocks and woke up to a great complimentary breakfast (you cook it yourself, but they're not stingy on the offered options) every morning. Great Hostel

This hostel is a really good one!! Located in Cancun downtown which isnt a disadvantage becauseprices in restaurants and shops are much cheaper there then in the Hotel Zone. The bus station is just a few minutes away and takes 15min to the main bars and discotheques. The rooms are simple but good. I was slleping in a 12-Dorm Room which had a nice great bathroom with bathtube. The staff is really nice and friendly. Just the kitchen wasnt clean.

Hello! We always try to keep the kitchen clean, but we'd also like to remind everyone that at a Hostel (and your home away from home!), it is also the guest's responsability to clean after themselves. Lastly, I'd like to quickly correct the guest on one error: we do not have a 12-person dorm, they stayed in our 10-person dorm! *** We're glad you enjoyed our Hostel and hope everyone else does too!

The place does feel "like home". But I won't be staying there again. Also, only two showers/bathrooms and only one of them worked when I was there. There could be in a wait.

We apologize for the fact that you felt that two bathrooms wasn't enough, but we only have 16 beds, and generally do not have any complaints about a lack of restrooms. We also have not had any problems with our restrooms... so I'm not sure why you were under the impression that one was out of service, but both are fully functional. - David Uribe Hostel Ka'beh Owner + Manager

The Staff were extremely friendly and helpfull, they ran activities which made the stay fantastic! I would highly recommend the hostel to people considering travelling, you get free breakfast and wifi for one of the best prices in Cancun! Plus you get an amazing atmosphere, close to everything!

A really fun hostel! the staff was great and they had something going on every night! We will definitely come back later! The only downside was that it wasn´t very clean. But we loved it anyway.

When I first checked in at this hostel I was very excited because it had a lot of character and a cool vibe. However, coming back from the bar we had to ring the bell multiple times and eventually just beat on the door to be let in because the girl who was on night duty had been playing tequila Jenga and was making out with a guest on the roof.
