The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Hostel Che Holbox is a fun party hostel on Holbox. It has a great social atmosphere and good amenities including a pool. It's set back a little far from the beach, but is an easy walk to the main town. If you're looking for a place to party and meet people on Holbox, this would be a good fit.
The Location
To get to Isla Holbox, you need to get a ferry across, which is no problem as there are multiple ones per day. Once you arrive on the island, it's a short, five-minute walk to reach the hostel and is right from where the ferry docks. The road is not very well paved, so it can be a bit hard to find, although there are signs if you keep an eye out. The hostel is set back from the beach by around ten minutes and from the town centre by around five minutes. Many people rent golf carts to get around the island.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms are very spacious and have lockers under the beds provided. The rooms are decorated plainly and are kept clean by the staff. The beds are modern and comfortable and the dorm rooms are very sociable.
There is a large central and communal bathroom located next to most of the rooms. This is very spacious and has modern facilities and a large mirror next to the sink. The showers are kept clean and they're very spacious with decent water pressure. There are not too many showers, so there is a wait at certain times of the day.
Common Spaces
The common spaces are a big selling point at this hostel and add to its very social and community atmosphere. There's a large pool, which has deck chairs and seating around it; this is a nice space to relax and chill on a hot day. Next to the main reception is a large bar and an area where breakfast and communal meals are served. This is a very social area and it's easy to meet new people, especially in the evening. There's lots of quieter spots with hammocks around and a sizable kitchen for guests to use.
Summary
This is a social and friendly hostel that makes up for the fact that it is set back from the main beach.
