“Terrible - rip off.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Cold showers, rats, and rain coming in through the roof on your head at night. Nasty Nylon sheets. and a heinously uncomfortable bed. Miles out of town.

What was the worst though was when we asked the guy if we could leave our bags, somewhere before we went to check out, he said no. When I suggested that all hotels let you leave your bags somewhere before leaving, he said that was not possible, and then proceeded to tell me I was rude and agressive. Terrible service, terrible accommodation and definitely not worth the money.

“Nice place, very basic, but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2009

We didnt care to much about where to stay and found this hostel on the road. Its simple, clean and very basic. We loved Tulum very much and for that reason there was no need to look any further. If you want to have a basic bed for the right price, this is it. The breakfast is simple, and the coffee was cold. The good thing is that around the corner you can find very good sandwiches and the best coffee. We only stayed 2 days, sheets were clean, but seemed to be old. The owner is friendly, but doesnt speak English. No information about busses, and what to do around. But; Beach, beach, beach!!!

“The Hostel seemed very nice and friendly”

I stopped at the hostel while in Tulum (2003) and looked around. I didn't actually stay there, but I was so impressed that I am planning on going there this summer (2004). The facilities were very basic - and I did not see ceiling fans (although they may be in cabanas that I didn't see). The location was lovely, and the staff was very friendly.
All of the guests seemed quite pleased and were very happy to stop and chat.

A secluded spot, great location, happy staff, and the best prices in Tulum. If you are looking to get away from it all I highly recommend this spot
