Reviews of Kin Hostal and Camping

Well, in the end, nothing really.

There are a lot of things to fix and improve. If not all. Things are just falling apart. And what's with the moldy TV with a broken screen? Benches, Tables also half broken. For a night, you'll survive, but for a long stay, it would be a problem. The place is dissolving and no one is really fixing it. Beds don't have walls. Or shelves. Or even hooks. Things are falling down on me all the time. My Pillow falls all the time, so I moved a bit down. Now my feet are outside and Mosquitoes eat them. I slept in a weird position just to keep the pillow under my head. Back pain all the time, which ironically kept me in bed. The pain stayed for 2 more days after I left. The bed light is right in your eyes. Whomever designed those beds is a sadist. It's more of a wild jungle camping. Scorpions, mosquitoes and raccoons. No hot water. Anywhere. Not kidding. I'm not into that much "natural" living. There is a reason why we don't live in caves anymore. This is how homeless people live on the street. Jomeless shelter would be better! Now being in a normal hostel, I'm just...wow. Che or Tribu are absolutely better.

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!

The matrasses could be slighty more comfortable but thats the only downside.

Excelente Voluntarios!

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.

Fun option to sleep in the tents, not hot at all. Great fully equipped kitchen. Staff very helpful and friendly. Speak French English and Spanish

Nice staff and relaxed vibes

Nice place, pleasant staff.

The hostel/camping is located close to the beach. The owner is really helpful and can speak lots of languages. The kitchen was really good equipped. The surrounding was very quiet.

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.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The staff is very kind and friendly,..great location and very cool vibe !!! A leasure to stay at Kin !!! Thanks 😊

All good

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.

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

The kitchen is amazing. The tents stay dark during the day (so you can sleep for long) and they do not get hot!!! Fantastic!

Everything was like we expected, stuff was really nice and helpful!

It’s very unique. A lot of public cornerds and space. The vibe is great. You feel like you can smell freedom and dream while I am here. The bed Is comfy. Kitchen is amazing. I love everything.

Very clean and functional, great staff. Our host shared the fish he’d caught that morning, by making a delicious ceviche.

A little out of the way.
