    Couple of things need an update: door handles, shower heads, curtains, etc. Nothing that seriously impacted my stay but would have been nice!

    The staff were brilliant. Beds comfortable. Common area friendly. Breakfast was plentiful. Whole place was spotless. The group chat was useful and used well. Good location.

    Barco Verde is a small but intimate hostel running on positive vibes. Staff are awesome and a healthy breakfast included was a nice touch 😊 enjoyed my stay and met lots of great people, Holbox is an oasis of palm trees and white powder sand beaches, food vendors fun nightlife and party bars all within a block of barco verde. I'll come back again for sure! Thanks Jen, Imara, Lucas, Daniela!

    The cold water, super low pressure shower- but to me a small matter on a tropical island.

    Loved everything about it! The staff & manager were great, the place is kept super clean, included breakfast was well done, perfect location 1 minute walk to center and sea, quiet after midnight in town, felt completely safe, spacious dorm room, Xtra toilets and showers in common area, comfortable bed with a little shelf and outlet, clothes line, and a climate of travelers communing with ease. Thank you for a joyful stay!

    Such a cozy and friendly place, feels like home. Really nice vibes. People chill and get together in the common area, makes it very easy to meet new people. Hostel organizes one free activity per day and everyone who is interested can join. Staff young and fun, super nice and friendly. Rooms are comfortable with AC. Breakfast is included in the room rate. The place exceeded my expectations.

    My bed was with very uncomfortable mattress. But other than that no other issues.

    This is a great hostel. Really chill and close to everything in the centre of Isla Holbox. Fede and the staff are really nice and make everything possible to make your stay as good as possible. There are activities organised by the hostel. I had a great time meeting great people. Could only recommend it to everyone.

    This place is amazing 😍😍 It's a peaceful hostel during the day but it's also possible to go out at night at the corner of the street if that's what you like! I couldn't leave the island for ten days😂 It really makes you feel at home because you can feel the family vibe and the staff is super nice🫶🫶. Also, I really liked the breakfast!! The commune areas are always clean and it's very close to the beach.
