About

We are your home on the Caribbean island you dreamt about. The unique style of this tropical castle offers an unforgettable experience every backpacker must have. With the daily organized activities (yoga lessons, salsa lessons, blind dinners, guided tours and many more) and the ideal location (footsteps away from the beach), it will be impossible not to meet people here.

Night life on the island starts at the bar upstairs, with mind-blowing music shows where local and global artists gather for jam sessions, Art nights, DJ nights, Latin nights or just simply magical nights . We also have plenty of microphones and instruments if you want to delight and surprise us on Open Mic night. The restaurant on the installations is another mouth-watering “must”.

Choose the dorm or private room that best suits you, and come be part of the tribe.

Summary of traveller reviews

Tribu Hostel in Holbox Island is celebrated for its fantastic location, just steps from the beach and town centre. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the wide array of daily activities and social events that make it easy to meet fellow travellers. While generally clean, some recent reviews mention a lack of privacy due to no bed curtains and occasional issues with bathroom availability.

The hostel is clean and in a great location right by the beach and near lots of restaurants. However I was disappointed with the overall atmosphere. Maybe because it is low season but I rarely saw anyone else in the social areas and didn’t find out who the volunteers were until my last day, which as a solo traveller was a shame! An activity I signed up and paid for didn’t happen.

Great hostel, full of young people, the salsa and yoga were great fun. We got happy hour delicious margaritas too- one thing is there are no curtains in the beds and one shower between 8. However, we didn’t mind and felt very safe and had a great time.

Tribu hostel was one of my favorites & I’ve been on the road for 6 months now! The energy of the place, the sustainability aspect & the curated activities offered at Tribu made the difference for me. I love Holbox as well, very calm & cute. Bonus points for the Mapaches I got to meet almost every night :)
