We absolutely loved our stay here at Ukayil, the room was MASSIVE and very comfortable with all amenities you need, even a coffee maker, plates and cutlery. The A/C was amazing, the room is decorated nice, check-in was a breeze with little lock-boxes to collect keys after hours. The bathroom and shower were very good too and there was lots of space to hang clothes inside and also a washing line outside too. The location was quite good too, it's about 15 minutes to walk into the centre from here, which is not bad, and you definitely don't need a taxi to the centre or to the boat jetties or free municipal swimming area - they are all walkable. But it may be a bit far for some - but taxis are cheap if you need them. The taxi to the ADO station from here was ~mx$40. The host was also very helpful and nice, bringing us blankets when we first checked in, and then helping us arrange a taxi to the ADO station to leave on the last day. Overall, this property is probably the best value for money place we've stayed in this whole trip through Mexico, given the comfort and size of the room, walking distance to centre and great price, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Thanks for having us!!

Can’t beat this hostel for the price and value. It has everything you need. The deck offers both shade and sun, perfect for couples, where one can relax in the sun while the other enjoys the shade for hours. The kitchen has a nice variety and the bar has a good selection of beers and cocktails. The waitresses and staff were simply too nice. Ali helped me coordinate taxis and gave great local recos...

Very friendly and helpful staff. Especially Sasha and Andreja did a really great job in organizing the party and other activities (e.g., mixology class, yoga,...). A big shout out to those 2 girls cuz the party vibes were spot on! The room was clean, there are lots of lounging area to relax. Great wifi connection. There is also a group chat where the hosts update you on the practicalities, events and you can ask questions there too (e.g., sharing a cab with other guests). Affordable prices, great breakfast options, great location (nearby other restaurants and cafes). Overall, a 10000 out of 10 for Che Hostel!

All hostels in Bacalar

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Very nice social hostel. Lots of activities. I booked one night to make friends and after I stayed at a cheaper place but you can still walk into the hostel and participate with activities, as its also opened for restaurant or party guests. Also great location.

The hostel is well taken care of, great location, clean, social activities. Just on the water, nice place to chill. Big lockers, friendly helpful staff, felt really safe also. Nice restaurant but a bit overpriced.
