This is by far best hostel I have ever stayed at! It feels more like a home than a hostel, this is down to the staff, they make you feel part of their community. I honestly don’t have a bad word to say - it was super special - I just wish I stayed for longer!! Amazing places to chill, good beds, incredible kit eh and beautiful doggy!

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!

Our stay at Pata del Perro in Bacalar was exceptional. The central location served as a convenient starting point for our explorations, and the option to rent quality bikes from the hotel added to the experience. The cleanliness of the facilities, including the spacious kitchen and common areas with ample tables, made it a comfortable place to work and prepare meals. The room offered great value for the price. Overall, Pata del Perro provided a fantastic base for our Bacalar adventures.

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.
