Guest report Hostelworld
As a group of 7 people we stayed Sunday until Saturday in CHE. Overall the location was good but from Tuesday on we noticed little dots on our feet and legs. It got worse over the days and reaching Friday my feet, legs and back were covered in extremely red bruises as well as rashes from bed bugs. 4 of us had bed bug bites all over their body which we sadly noticed too late. The manager was friendly but only changed the sheets and mattresses and refunded only one night. The bites were itching really bad so

Social hostel, but if you want privacy and chill times thats also very much possible :) Was dealing with bedbugs (took from another hostel) and they were very helpful about it. Gave me a new towel plus sheets and cleaned the room. Gracias Che PE!!
Vibe Analysis
CHE Puerto Escondido Hostel & Bar is a La Punta party base with a pool, rooftop, bar, shared kitchen, and cowork area. The location is handy for the beach, the main road, taxis, colectivos, restaurants, and nights out, so it works best when the plan is to be out, socialize, and plug into Puerto Escondido's louder side. The pool is the main daytime hangout, and the rooftop gives a calmer place to sit above the bar noise. Dorms and private rooms can be modern, spacious, and comfortable, with fans or A/C in at least some rooms, though cooling may be limited to certain hours. This is not a quiet, polished value pick. Music can run loud through the day and into late evening, the social scene can feel either fun or forced depending on the crowd, and service is inconsistent. It suits a short, party-first stop better than remote work, early nights, or a calm beach reset.
Signals to check
- Music can be loud for much of the day and may continue until around 11pm.
- Wi-Fi can be weak, including in rooms and the cowork area.
- Cleanliness is inconsistent, with recurring issues around bathrooms, kitchen, pool, smells, and pests.
- A/C may be limited to set hours, and some rooms can get hot.
- Service, booking changes, towel availability, card fees, and extra charges can be frustrating.
