Mate. Really. Best Hostel in Mexico. Bathrooms are huge, clean with good water pressure and hot water (really?!... yes). Every night there is a different theme which are put on by the staff and they're free... Great playlist playing with good speakers for hammock/ciggie times. Ka'Beh is a dream.

Okay facilities but quite good staff. Only two bathrooms but this surprisingly didn't turn out to be a practical issue. Horrible showers though, no water pressure. It is truly a backpackers' hostel, not just a "hotel lite with dorm beds." Nice place though once you get used to it.

Hello! We're sorry for the water pressure issue. It has been addressed and water pressure should always be good at our Hostel. Please report anything wrong at the Hostel while you are staying with us so that we can fix the problem! Thank you, - David Uribe Hostel Owner

The hostel has a very relaxed and "home like" atmosphere. It is the ideal place to meet other travelers. The staff is friendly and helpful. Drawbacks are that there are only two bathrooms for the entire hostel, the kitchen is relatively small and not always the cleanest despite serious efforts by the staff members. The mattresses are wrapped in plastic and it makes them less comfortable. I would still recommend this hostel.

This place had really approachable and helpful staff and loads of facilities like free breakfast, book exchange, activities organised every night. The place only has two bathrooms though which was a real pain.

We enjoyed our stay at hostel ka beh really much because the staff was sweet and always tried to do things for the people staying there! One night there was beerpong and on new years eve we went out a gang of fifteen from the hostel. I loved the little kitten that was strolling around. Maybe we'll see it again when it's grown up!

Staff were great. Really friendly environment. All I wanted in Cancun was to meet people and that was really easy with the games and fun. May not have been great if I wanted to sleep early...

Good:position really close to mai square in cancun, staff always cleaning the hostel, good common area with amacas and music, fast internet connection Bad:just 1 small bathroom for all hosts, rooms very tiny and with no windows, air conditioning very cold at night, few lockers available for hosts.

Hello!... I'm sorry there were a few things you didn't like at the Hostel! For clarification, we actually have two full bathrooms, and the rooms are not huge and spacious, but they shouldn't feel cramped. I'm sorry you felt that way. As for air conditioning: we provide blankets for anyone who needs one, and if asked, we can moderate the temperatures. Lastly: we now have more than enough lockers for all of our guests. We did a little remodeling while you were here and at that point, we unfortunately didn't have enough! - David Uribe Hostel Owner

Cute and I felt very welcome. I felt very secure since they took a copy of my passport and a number to a relative in case of emergency. A bit noisy though, my window was towards the yard and the music was loud and a guy was building something the whole day.

PROs: The staff members are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. This hostel has fun activities every night and a good place to meet other travelers. Breakfast is very good (eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, coffee, chorizo) etc with no time limit. 24/7 free filtered water is a plus. Location is great. 5 minutes walk to ADO bus station and there's a local market nearby. CONs: loud noise at night if you are a light sleeper. The room has bedbugs but staff members treated it quickly. Will come back!

Great location, very close to the bus station. Staff are all friendly and helpful. They have events/parties every night. If you like partying and hanging out with friends, this is absolutely a good place to go. However, the parties sometimes last until 2 or 3am and can be disturbing as you can hear the music in the bedroom .

I stayed here for 4 nights in dec 12. Awesome hostel. One of the best I have ever stayed at, great staff, great atmosphere!! Highly recommend. Small place with a very chilled vibe- great place to chill and a great place to party! Only issue there isn't enough toilets/showers when the place is full.
