The Yak Lake House

Aan de dure kant voor wat je krijgt. Dorms vaak niet op slot en vooral de 8bed dorm ingang ligt direct aan de straat. Veel te weinig badkamers!! Locatie aan de lagune is wel erg mooi, maar door het restaurant is het vrij toegankelijk en liggen daar vaak ook mensen uit andere hostels

Sehr schönes Hostel mit perfekter Lage am See, die Sauberkeit war in Ordnung nicht perfekt. Ich kann es trotzdem empfehlen.

Staff were really helpful, and the facilities are class as you’ve got direct access to the lagoon. The Wednesday night party was good fun but makes it impossible to get to sleep if it’s not your thing or you’ve got an early Thursday.

so far the best hostel Ive stayed at - the reception and event organizers are such great people 💜 I will definitely be stopping back by in the future! waka waka ☮️

The best is definitely the location at the Lagune. Bar is very loud. The room ist quite small und kind of moist. 1 shower per dorm is not enough. Didn’t feel very clean. Atmosphere is ok but not too social

It’s a nice place right in front of the waterfront with swimming access to the lagune. Unfortunately they play music all day long right in Front of the dormwindow very loud, so you have to wake up at 8am and until late. Every Wednesday there‘s a Techno Party until 2am, if you wanna Party perfect! If you wanna sleep impossible! All in all a nice place, but not worth the extra money compared to other hostel prices.

Amazing Vibes at Yak Lake! I had an incredible stay at Yak Lake Hostel. There are so many activities to join, making it easy to meet people. The highlight was definitely the team. All the volunteers are wonderful, but Aisha and Xavi stood out—they are so kind, helpful, and truly go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. Their energy makes this place special.

Dieses Hostel ist der Himmel auf Erden! Ich war hier über eine Woche und wäre sogar gerne noch länger geblieben. Die Lage ist mega direkt an der Lagune und im ortszentrum. Die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen! Besonders hervorzuheben ist jedoch das Team.Ob Ali und Dario an der Rezeption, das activityteam rund um Javi oder das Barteam mit Enzo - alle sind unglaublich freundlich und lieben ihren Job. Im Restaurant gibt es sehr gutes, frisches Essen zu fairen Preisen. Danke für alles ♡

Bestes Hostel in Bacalar mit eigenem Pier. Das Wasser ist glasklar, die angebotenen Touren machen Spaß und mittwochs ist immer eine gute Party!

I had a really disappointing experience here. One morning a staff member woke me up at 6:00 AM. He didn’t apologise or show any concern at all about the disturbance, and didn’t even ask if I was okay. It felt very dismissive and unprofessional. The following morning, as I was checking out, the staff member with glasses told me the other guy had been apologetic about the situation and that he owed me a drink because of what happened. However, when I went to one of their clubs on Wednesday ...

Beautiful location directly on the lagoon. But overpriced for what you get. The 8-bed dorm has only one toilet inside the room separated by a thin wall. The beds are metal grid frames that look like prison beds, and the curtains are useless because you can see through the bars. Breakfast is very limited (3 options, no drinks included) - better spend the money somewhere with a real coffee machine, they only have a Nespresso. Bed outlets are loose, had to charge my phone at reception. Nice staf...

La relación precio-calidad del servicio es excelente. Todo el personal del hostal fue super amable. La atención es muy buena, los cuartos están bien. La ubicación y salida al muelle es inmejorable. La comida no es tan barata pero está bien para estar a la vera de la laguna. Lo único malo es el abuso de la música del bar, a veces está muy alta y no esta cumpliendo ningún proposito, al contrario impide la contemplación de la belleza natural. Divino el hostel y el personal que lo sostien...

Good hostel with a very nice location right at the dock

Great location on the river, stunning views, however quite expensive food, drink and activities. Felt quite commercial

Such a lovely place, the private room was good (although it was expensive). Definitely try be there on Wednesday for the big party - it’s great. Shout out to Jabi and Poppy on the activities team - legends!

I really liked my stay at The Yak Lake House. The staff were friendly, the dorms had curtains which were great, the food was yummy and the outdoor area was really really nice.

Amazing location. The only downside is the blasting electronic music until very late (literally until 2am on Wednesday nights).

Great hostel right on the water and with a great atmosphere

Très bon hostel je recommande ! L’emplacement est incroyable vous avez accès et vue sur le lagon ! Les chambres et la cuisine sont basiques, mais le reste des espaces communs sont top ! Personnel très sympa !

Best. Hostel. Ever. I will be back. Stunning location, comfy enough bunks, incredible shower (scalding hot if that's how you like it, great water pressure, spacious, pretty clean...). Walk out of bed straight onto the dock and into the lagoon. Great ambience - made genuinely good friends super easily. The Wednesday night party was a lot of fun and ended promptly at 2am, so that wasn't even a massive issue. Love this place - book early or it'll be full!
