My experience in the hostel was delightful and enriching from the first day. The staff makes you feel like home, creating a warm vibe at the whole place. The hostel itself is amazing.. provides a full weekly schedule with diverse options, and the installations are impressive (it's like a mini city). On the side, Holbox is one of the most chill places I've been.. there's a magical vibe on the air. Sunsets are insanely beautiful, and there's so much to do around. I highly recommend the hostel! I feel part of this family now <3

We spent almost two months volunteering in this tribe -the hostel- that has become a family! We will always carry in our hearts the members of the staff, Daria who brings magic to this place, and all the other volunteers. Thanks for all the experiences we lived, for what we learned and for giving us the opportunity to express ourselves at our best. See you soon!

The hostel is the perfect option for volunteering on a paradise island like Holbox. It's the ideal place to socialize and meet travelers from all over the world, comfortable and in a great location. ✨Maya and Daniel✨ are the heart of the hostel, and they show it at all times, always attentive to everything you need. I absolutely loved working as the activities leader (Margarita Class, Hike to Punta Mosquito and Punta Cocos, Volleyball, Walk a dog, etc.) Daniel, you're amazing!! 👏 Thank you and the entire staff (JC, Daria, Vico, etc.) for all the support. I carry you all tattooed on my heart ❤

The island of Holbox is beautiful, a true paradise. In a short time you get to know the locals. The hostel is nice, with a good atmosphere of guests and loving volunteers that I will always remember. The owner Davide, a genius, mindful and kind. The staff with communication and leadership problems from this perspective. The facilities are nice at the hostel, the volunteers' house has no air conditioning and was very dirty. They allowed me to stay in the hostel after a week I had to live there due to the maintenance of the hostel in this house.
