    Really enjoyed my stay at Kin, and even extended my stay by 3 nights to spend a week there. The tent I stayed in was perfect - comfortable for sleeping, with a fan, light and plug socket. They also have mosquito nets. The area is peaceful which allowed for great sleeping. All of the hostel staff and volunteers are very kind and work really hard to ensure the place is always really clean. Would highly recommend staying here when in Holbox!

    Amazing place to stay, relax, and meet other travelers. There were clear rules for the hostel and dorms that everybody followed, which made the nights very peaceful. There was a well equipped kitchen with a fridge and dry storage to leave your food. There are multiple comfy hangout spots with hammocks around, so you can choose whether you want to relax or chat a bit with other people in the hostel. Also, I loved the location, which looks on the map like it is a bit further from the main square, but there are still some shops, taquerias, and fruterias nearby, the neighbourhood is less touristy and more quiet and honestly, you can't not enjoy the walks around the island, so a couple minutes more won't matter that much I think. When I arrived at this hostel the plan was to stay for only a couple of days and I stayed for 10 days, because I had such a great time and I definitely wasn't the only one feeling that way.

    Spotless facilities, cosy hammocks, cheeky raccoons and great staff - I've never seen anyone cleaning with so much dedication (italian mum standards 🤣) Chilled and super relaxing but plenty of opportunities to socialise if you want to. An extra star for the free coffee in the morning!

    Enjoyed my 1+ month stay in tent. Fresh and natural feeling. Quiet at night but easily walkable to town and other locations. Bed could be more comfortable and spaces are tight but good value for holbox. Friendly people, nice vibes

    Normally we don’t stay at hostels or camping during our vacation but this one we were looking forward to, Damian was really helpful and made some great recomendations around the island. The place was great and peaceful, no party or loud noises so it was perfect for us. It was just too hot even with the ventilator so this is something you gotta have in mind.

    Very cosy tent! I slept very well there even though there's racoons running around at night so don't get scared xD There's nice area just to chill or socialise with others. The staff was friendly. I didn't feel unsafe in my little tent as a solo traveller so all good.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    For me, this place was the perfect place to stay at on Holbox. It's an easy walk from the center, but far enough to be super quiet and peaceful. It's small but social, easy going, clean, very friendly people working here and the tents were comfortable. I liked the common area, perfect to chill in a hammock or have a chat with the other guests. The kitchen was well organized too. Just around the corner is a little market where you can buy fresh fruits and food, also a nice alternative from all the restaurants in the center.

    Bring mosquito spray, but that's for the whole island. The tents have mosquito nets, so no problems sleeping

    Super comfortable for camping! The mattresses in the tents were nice, and there were power outlets and a light inside as well. The whole area, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, were exceptionally clean. A tiny bit out of the way, but still very close and walkable to the beach and the town center.

    Basic facilities, but 10/10 atmosphere

    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    Would just say : be prepared to be in a camping-style space: with basic facilities, mainly outside the dorm or even the building. The shared dorm is quite small for the number of beds and felt a bit cramped when full. I liked the fact that shoes are not allowed inside, but being in a beach island, it's impossible not to carry sand inside.. i'd suggest to leave some cleaning tools available for the guest to contribute keeping the place tidy. Maybe the bath mats could be changed a bit more often (going bare foot on the toilet and finding the floor always kinda wet or humid wasn't the best). However, those inconvieniencies would not retain me to stay again

    I really like the vibe of this place and the type of travelers it attracts. Being mainly a camping (with one dorm) the atmosphere is chilled and laid back. Well organized regarding the cooking spaces and food storages.Mainly solo travelers and cozy communal spaces made very easy to meet people from the first day. Staff is friendly and accomodating. On one night Damian, the owner, also made barbecue for everybody, which I found a very nice touch

    Probably the best value for money you can get in Holbox! i've stayed in the Dorm for around 6 days and it was amazing! yeah the roads in the islands were super muddy and flooded but once you learn where you should go and how it just becomes so much easier. The dorms are very clean and the AC is great! there are 2 kitchens in the place and they are both very well equipped with everything you need for a big or small meal. what i liked the most is the people! they are so friendly and nice and always helped with anything i needed. the location is great and is around 5-10 min walk from the beach and all of the bars and restaurants, thank you very much! can't wait to go back ☺️
