Quiet place with a big green space

Stayed in September 2025

It wasn’t always clear who was staff and who were guests but it wasn’t a big problem. The outdoor toilets would benefit from a bigger rain canopy, it’s impossible not to get soaked on your way in and out haha

The setting is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The private room was clean and comfortable with toiletries included. The offers of activities are nice and the communal areas look fun and inviting.

A bit far of a walk from the bus depot..but thanks for the exercise!

Staff..Marion and SCARLETT WERE SUPER KIND

I would have personally preferred more bathrooms for the amount of people we shared a room with.

Beautiful location, in the midst of nature, still very close to town. Very calming.

I would say the best I got was enjoying a balanced environment between work and rest. If you come to Ekko Hostel you're here for a treat of a genuine stay. Staying here allowed me to create community, learn new skills, and make new friends on my free time. I was able to work remotely (30+h/week) with the majestic view to the Tepozteco, and grab healthy and yummy meals from their cafe and nearby places. Commuting to Tepoztlán center was easy from their location with the local vans ($10 pesos/ride). I also am really grateful for the guests gracious hosting and their efforts to have us respect silent hours. PS. If you're a pet lover like myself you're gonna enjoy it even more. Love their furries!!!! 🐾

It's a great place hidden in an outskirt of Tepoztlán. My room was spacious and very clean. Staff were very friendly as well

they were preparing for a party while i was there, a little of a buzz in all the communal spaces… that was the only thing.

spacious, earthy, clean, resourced kitchen, out of the main buzz of the town, hot water, comfy warm beds, always soap and toilet paper, kind people.

The volunteers were great. The view and the activities were amazing.

It’s a 20min walk from the centre but that’s ok

Great place maintained by great staff. A little slice of paradise. Could have stayed two weeks!

its outside Tepotzlan but easy to get around via shared taxis and collectivos

Ekko Hostel was a. friendly chilled location with a yoga, drumming, healing vibe. Kitchen and communal meals. A 15 minute walk down the hill from Tepotzlan but with local shops and cafes. Friendly staff and the hostel attracts a buena honda crowd.

Great people working there, chilled and relaxing vibe, next to the city but you feel immersed in the nature. Wonderful!

The view is amazing, the staff as friendly as can be

Everything was perfect - the place, the facilities, the location - and the volunteers made this place even extra special with great activities (yoga, temazcal, Ricardo's delicious community dinners, and they also organize tai chi, african dance, fogata, and so much more). Warmly recommended!

This place is really special, and beautiful, the people who run the place and living there, the energy - like a small community. came in a day that was cacao ceremony and they all welcomed me to join and it was so much fun to sing around the fire. Also came with my leg injured and the really helped me and took care of me. The place is close to the centre but still far enough to be quiet and chill.

Great spot to chill. Kids loved it too, plenty of space to relax and play.

Stayed in April 2024

I stayed 3 nights(Thursday-Sunday) and no social events happened as mentioned in reviews below, no bonfire, jam or etc. No community feeling, volunteers just enjoying themselves. Bathroom can be cleaner As it’s remote location you expect quite, but on Friday till 10-11pm was music from surroundings. Worst - on Saturday next to hostel (50m) was celebrating wedding. So that nice yard of the hostel became parking for wedding guests and VERY loud music 50m from window till late night But maybe it’s just me unlucky with timing

Common area very nice and relaxing, fine kitchen, view, laundry

The faculty needs some $$ invested back into it to upgrade and repair the bathroom, add curtains for the windows in the dorms, better pillows and some new equipment for the kitchen like new coffee mugs.

The view from the outdoor covered kitchen and bonfire/hammock was incredible. You have a wide unobstructed view the whole day when you are hanging around the common area. The hang out areas have lots of different seating. There is usually always a fire with a jam session. It was quiet and secluded. There was an area for yoga and mediation with matts to use, I loved this part of Ekko. The people you meet here will inspire you.

There was only one thin blanket per bed and I was freezing. I asked for an extra blanket and they said no. I can understand why, however, might be nice if they had offered a rental blanket or something.

The area is full of nature and beautiful. the kitchen and chill spaces were convenient to use. The people were friendly and I liked the setup of the place. I was invited to a group breakfast and laughed a lot! Met some new friends.

No activities while I stayed there

Amazing views from the garden, nice place to stay with a relaxed vibe

Stayed in November 2023

Booked a couple of nights but stayed for over a week! Super OG barefoot hostel vibes with communal kitchen and living always alive, staff always around to chat and help, evening fires to sit around and music to listen to. Dorm beds are comfy with curtains, supermarket is a 2 minute walk away and colectivos aways passing to take you into town (less that 10 mins). Felt like home 💚💚💚

Stayed in June 2023

no wifi whilst we were there. not the best showers.

the location was a little out of center but the reward was the views and quiet connection to the outdoors. there was a lovely yoga area and chill out area. the volunteers were super friendly travelers who were very open and helpful and really made you feel at home and welcome to relax with them.

Nothing

The volunteers made a very good Job. They make the hostel alive and into good vibes and energy, always willing to help. I enjoy especially the presence of Juan that is always willing to help you . Thank you to the volunteers who made this stay amazing .
