Elmar Hostel is THE place to stay in Bacalar ! Everything was just perfect, you get free breakfast, free bikes, free kayak, free paddle boards and FREE LAUNDRY ! The aircon in the dorms works perfectly, everything is new, curtains for privacy, body soap and shampoo in the showers, the kitchen is well equipped. The vibe is so chill, and the people working there were a huge bonus to my stay. Hann, Guss and Giovanni were just adorable, and will go out of their way to help you out and make you feel at home. And the hostel is just 5 minutes walk from a free pier to the lagoon. Honestly the best hostel I stayed in my 10 years of travel !

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 ;)

I had an amazing time at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything I needed, from organizing tours to giving great local tips. Especially Andreja! The location is perfect — right near the lagoon, with stunning views and easy access to everything. The facilities were spotless, the common areas were super chill, and the vibe was exactly what I was looking for: relaxed and social without being too noisy. I loved the pool and rooftop to relax. The bed was comfortable, and I really appreciated the privacy of a private room. I would absolutely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Bacalar — it felt like a little home away …

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!

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.

Nice hostel with a great location, good vibe, very friendly and helpful staff. Especially Humberto went the extra mile and printed out some needed papers outside the hostel. Excellent service.

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.
