My staying was excellent. Joaquin and her mother treat us like we were relatives. They advise us where to go, and explain us all about the surroundings. The breakfast was exquisite. And most valuable their attitude always with a big smile. Greetings from Chihuahua Chelo and Joaquin.

Fantastic place & great location - opposite the Tulum ruins. Cello and her sons were extremely friendly, helpful and professional and made you feel like part of the family. The hostel were very clean and the breakfast was incredible - the best I had in Central America!

I had an excellent stay at this hostel. The best part was the staff who were wonderful and friendly. Celo the owner is like the mum you always wanted: warm, friendly and an excellent cook. The breakfasts here were amazing and included in the price. Also included were bikes and locks which was very helpful. The hostel is close to the beach and ruins - about 10 mins bike ride. The only criticism I have is that the hostel is located oin the highway so you can hear traffic at night.

Awesome staff and breakfast! Loved this hostel! The free bikes made everything closer, like the beach, city center and the supermarket. The negative was that the highway was just outside.

Great breakfast, near the ruins, nice staff, bikes included (thankfully, because it's far from the village), good vibe. No kitchen but a fridge is for the guests' use.

This place has real character and is an experience in itself. The bikes are a really fun way to get around and the jungle style rooms are great with really comfy beds. Only downside is a lot of road noise from the highway!

Very friendly and professional family. Delicious free breakfast, very handy free bikes, snorkel gear almost for free. Great character. We also dived two cenotes with one of the sons who is a certified dive-master and certified cage-diver. The hostel is located between town and beach on the main highway, so there's always some traffic noise. Truly a very nice place to stay.

Very nice hostel, The location is in the entrance of the ruins, but they facilitate bycicles for everyone, so we can ride to the beach and to the town. The staff were so kind and I really felt the peaceful of the place when I was there. I really liked this hostel

The only thing that stopped this place from being perfect was that we couldn't always get beer! The near by stores closed at odd hours and on Sundays you can't buy take out beer after 2 pm! They don't sell beer on the hostel premises but have refrigerators to put your own in! Will definitely stay there again!

The hostel is very nice! The people who work there are very helpful! You will get a very good breakfast (fresh fruit, fresh juice, and Mexican food) that will fill you up for a few hours... It’s getting cold sometimes at night during winter time because the wind gets through the wooden structure. Oscar is a baby coati that lives there, so it’s perfect if you like animal! If don’t like doin bicycle, don’t go there because you need to take it to get in town.

Very friendly staff, like staying with family. Loved riding the bikes to explore the area. The rooms and whole lay out of the place had a great nature feel. The breakfast was the best we had in Mexico.

I should have paid more attention to the fact that it was close to the highway and it WAS noisy - right next to an infamous tope! Otherwise, excellent. Breakfasts were the best I've had anywhere in any hostel.
