The first night we stayed in a double private room, which was tiny, just fitted the bed really (and no fan) but that was ok until in the middle of the night some type of creature (mouse maybe?) that was living in the roof started to run about for hours, in the end we had to get our things and...

Is this the same hostel we stayed in??? The rooms were not what we had reserved and the price was variable according to the time we spent discussing it. They proposed one room in a new building, still under construction, totally open, workers still in it with no lock and noise. In stead we got a double room with no... More

We had a great experience here. There was no early check in, so my husband and I spent some time getting to know Palenque. Once we did get in our room, we were very pleased with what we got. Everything was newly cleaned (mop streaks still wet on the floor) and suited our needs. Bed was comfortable, air conditioner was... More

The shared areas of this hostel are the best part of this hostel - think lush gardens hammocks and a massive tv. We booked a private room with private bathroom and stayed for three nights for a very good price. However the room was very damp and gritty with what appeared to be debris from the ceiling and the bed... More

The whole area is composed with lots of love to details and the hosts do everything that you feel like at home. Rooms are simple but very cosy, the shared bathrooms are now being renovated and very clean. Free internet access, excellent food at a very fair price in the cool lounge, fine cooking opportunity. Tourguides offer great trips to... More

We stayed at Yaxkin Hostel for 2 nights, the rooms were ok but we were woken at 7am in the morning so one of the staff could check that he had a copy of our key - no idea why it was required or why it couldnt wait until we were up or at least at a decent hour. The... More

I stayed here with a friend for one night and the place grossed me out. The reception looks nice, the garden is beautiful and the staff friendly, but the room was very dirty. The maid came out when we checked in but it looked like she had only done a light sweep with a broom as there was lots of... More

We arrived in the late evening at about 11pm. It looks very nice from the outside, the reception, the entrance hall and the big jungle-ish outside area are nice and the stuff spoke english and was really helpful. Everythings was fine, until they showed us the dorm (the price for a bed was really good) - we were shocked! The... More

Even though you're in the city of Palenque it seems as if you would be in the jungle. The place is spacious, with a very relaxing vibe, nice and friendly staff, clean rooms and the food is delicious. You have there everything you need, plus it is close to gorgeous waterfalls and other attractions. It's a place where I would... More

I made the mistake of booking this hostel after viewing their website and without checking Tripadvisor. I will say firstly that the staff are very friendly, speak English and are very helpful. The hostel advertises a 'de luxe' king size room with air cond for 450 pesos. The room is anything but 'de luxe'; it's dark, dirty, dismal and has... More
