Établissement très bien placé, la cuisine est pratique. Très difficile de dormir car pas de AC, et tout petit ventilo … quand je me suis réveillée le matin il y avait un chien dans la chambre. Pas très agréable, et reflète un peu la propreté et le soin du lieu

Lovely hostel in a great location in la punta that was close enough to everything but not super loud at night. The staff were great and super helpful though there was not much of a social atmosphere so we did not really meet many other travelers while we were there. Our room was perfect for us even with the bathroom being tiny and we absolutely loved getting to hang out on the roof!

The bathroom, general paintwork etc looks like it was done by an amateur. Did not feel clean. The towel was so old it looked pretty disgusting and had holes in it. However the private room was big, the welcome was very hospitable and the location is very close to the beach.

I stayed in Akumal for 5 days and the location was one of the things I liked the most, it is literally a 3-minute walk from a part of the most relaxed and bohemian punta’s zone. It is also very close to a supermarket where you can find absolutely everything. The staff is very attentive and they definitely have very good local recommendations for food, places and more (quality/price) definitely maintains the essence of a very Mexican and artistic hostel

Lovely roof terrace, good value private room. The fact it has a great location means that it can be quite loud at night. But overall, would deffo recommend.

PLEASE READ: I must admit, this was not my first time at Hostal Akumal. While there are likely other (more expensive) hostels with better internet and air conditioning, Akumal is closer to the remaining roots of La Punta and a great time. The best skaters, artists and musicians hang out there and it is always a blast. There is a great community (most of the time), affordable prices and has a great birds eye hangout on the roof. Akumal is highly recommended and people constantly return.

El sitio es muy original, lleno de arte, me gustó mucho el balance entre extranjeros y mexicanos, una convivencia muy linda y divertida, me tocó un evento de músic jam.

Great centric hostel with wonderful atmosphere. Thr only disadavantage is the cafe on the territory of the hostel which turns on the music at 7.40 every morning.

Beste hostel in Puerto Escondido. Derde keer dat ik hier verblijf. De mensen zijn zo vriendelijk, voelt je echt thuis hier! Bed (womans dorm) is groot en comfortabel. Je bent binnen 1 minuut op het strand en middenin het bruisende la Punta. Je kunt chillen op de rooftop of spelletjes spelen in de common area beneden. Grote aanrader! :)

Very cool hostel - my first choice in Puerto. Chilled vibe, cool people, good music and nice common areas to hang around and socialize. I liked the mix of Mexicans and Foreigners so it's not only English speaking but Spanish too. Location couldn't be better, right next to the beach you can walk barefoot there and everything one might need is around the corner. Great staff all cool people. I could sleep well in the dorm I don't need no AC fans are plenty there. Will come back.

Perfect perfect location right in the middle of everything happening in Brisa’s zicatela. I only stayed for a night but the beds were so spacious and comfy especially for a hostel!

Favorite hostel in Puerto, perfect location, nice rooftop to the Main Street, close to the beach but not noisy so you can rest and be connected to town. Everyone from staff is extremely kind and you have a feeling of home, good dinners, social activities and music ! Maxi gives best recommendations and he’s always helping and Pipa is really kind and is always asking how you feel and inviting to dinners or events. All the volunteers,it’s such a good vibe I’ve been living here for a long time...

No social vibes, no atmosphere sadly. The hostel is dirty and run down, no social events or anything are organized. The only advantage is the great location and cheap price but unless you just need a place to sleep you are better off staying somewhere else.

das Zimmer und Bad waren leider sehr dreckig und eng (ich hatte ein Mehrbettzimmer). Zudem ist es sehr warm und es gibt nur Ventilatoren.
