I had a great time at Elmar, if you’re looking for a chill vibe but still social - this is the place. The two girls and the guy who work there that I met were super nice, and they arranged activities like yoga, meditation, etc. Very clean and spacious dorms. You also get a towel and laundry for free, which is really appreciated as a backpacker! Breakfast nice and extra plus for having Oatly! :) I can highly recommend this place!

Very nice spacious room. Awesome shower, hammock in the room which was cool for hanging out! Complementary coffee and a good location. What more does one need? That’s right, nothing ;)

Locaton at the lake was amazing, the staff was great and very easy to connect with and good with languages! A lot of activities to do with the hostel. When checking out Imari (?) Made my day by a small unexpected compliment.

Comfortably the best hostel we have ever stayed in! Fantastic place to stay and actually gutted we only had one night in Bacalar and at this hostel, if we were to re-do our trip we would certainly spend more time in this fantastic town and hostel!

Stayed here for a night after we got the bus in from Flores, Guatemala. It was perfect as it’s super central - by the park and fort where the bus dropped us off. Lots of restaurants, ATMs and shops nearby but the hostel is tucked away enough that the rooms are quiet. Ground floor rooms too which helps when you have heavy bags. Staff were very kind and helpful. After checking out, we were able to leave our bags in lockers and the staff said we could even use the showers if we wanted to (we didn’t need to but we noted their generosity!)

Beds were comfy, and the room is well-equipped for humid, hot nights. It was overall clean. The common areas are simple but good enough to chill. The host and volunteers were very friendly, too!

    Friendly reception and staff, allowing storage of backpacks if arriving early. A proper backpacker place with good vibe, interesting people and good advice available for forward transport. Good internet and quiet at night. Incredibly cheap beer with a nice rooftop to enjoy it on. Good location. Definitely return on way back.

    Fantastic staff, super friendly, supper chatty. Which I always love! Feels more welcoming when you can become friends with whoever is on staff. The bunk beds were comfortable. The kitchen was relatively clean. And had some nice seating areas to meet other travellers and chat. Overall a very welcoming hostel.
