    I would have liked to see more atmosphere but I understand it was low season. Curious to see if any big party in the high season, must be great

    Perfect mix between hotel comfort and hostel activities. Atmosphere a bit off as we went in August (low season), nevertheless there was some live DJ and people around both nights we stayed at Monkey’s. Position is ok, 20 mins walking from the centre and 5 mins car to the zona hotelera. Private rooms are same level of an hotel. Good quality price overall

    The music is very loud and the music selection could be better but earplugs are provided.

    Everything. Great place to stay for a young couple traveling together with plenty of activities to do and stay busy.

    Nothing, impossible

    Amazing hostel with all the comforts of a hotel! We stayed in a private room that was spacious and far beyond what we expected — bigger than most hotel rooms! Everything was spotless, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was always lively with great parties. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at!

    A bit on the expensive side (beside the cost for the night). But that's Tulum to be fair.

    Extremly kind and helpfull staff. Comfortable and undisturbed sleep thanks to the beds and the curtains.

    It's a modern hostel with good vibes, a nice terrace with pool, good facilities, strong AC in the room. The breakfast was also nice (but a bit small for me). They organized a game for the guests at the bar which was good to bring ppl together. I recommend this place.

    The hostel is fantastic! I booked an 8-bed room, but there's plenty of space, so it never feels crowded. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, perfect for meeting other travelers. The breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of options to start the day right. The common areas are clean and well-maintained, and the staff is super helpful and welcoming. Overall, it’s been a really enjoyable stay — I’d definitely come back

    Lovely fancy hostel, very comfortable and excellent value

    As mentioned the kitchen could be improved with the addition of a kettle and water dispenser.

    This hostel was a really pleasant surprise. It is a huge property and feels more like a hotel. It is designed beautifully. I stayed in a dorm with 12 beds which sounds a lot but it was designed so well with 2 runs of 6 beds, extremely comfortable and large spaces for each bed. The separation of the two sections due to the design of the large room means it only feels like you are in a 6 bed dorm. There was free yoga every morning at 8 and 10 which was fantastic and in a beautiful communal area. Kitchen are was adequate with fridges and equipment. This perhaps could be improved. A kettle would be good as would a proper dispenser for the water which is provided free but difficult to negotiate the very large water bottles for refills! The bar area and pool are lovely. I didn't eat there as I was self-catering but there seemed to be an extensive menu. There were also free activities each night e.g. cocktail class with a free drink which was nice. The location is a little out of the way but close to the road to the beach and to Chedraui supermarket and also the Collectivo stop to the beach (the cheapest way to get to the beach from here)

    Mayan Monkey Tulum is amazing—great vibe, comfy beds, and perfect location. The staff is friendly, and the bikes + daily activities make it a top pick. My only complaint? The $3-5 ‘cleaning fee’ feels unnecessary (and adds up over priced food and drink bar Manu). But overall, still one of the best hostels in Tulum!

    The place is really amazing and Social Vibe & Activities** – The hostel’s energy is infectious! With nightly parties, yoga classes (6 days a week), and group chats to keep everyone updated on events, it’s impossible not to make friends. The poolside bar and communal spaces are ideal for mingling

    Unable to check in early after arriving from an overnight flight at 9am. Had to wait until 330pm to check in. Location could be better located.

    Really nice hostel that had a variety of visitors. Breakfast was really good, drinks were okay. Pool was refreshing and nice lounge beds. Fun evening entertainment. Our private room was nice and clean.

    Door shock absorber was broken, the maintenance guy come see it but it was not a problem, but when people lets the door close, it was as if he was slamming it. No toilet paper at the morning. Outdoor toilet door not locking and the other hard to close + Toilet paper inaccessible in the other one. The Chichen Itza tour was not the price announced at first (32US), I did't check the paper correctly because I was last minute, in the bus the additional charge was +60US + some fees at the Cenote) The tour was maybe to adapted to the clients of this hotel ? I feel obliged to spend money at the stores we visits

    The toilet was constantly getting clogged. The food was ok but could've been better and prices are a bit too high.

    Staff was very nice, accomodation and beds are good. I also enjoyed the common areas.
