The hostel did not organize anything during my stay and there were no social events at all. In the morning, at midday, and in the evening, nothing was planned for guests. I only had contact with the staff during check-in and check-out. There was no effort to bring people together or create activities. Overall, Che Hostel in Playa del Carmen and Tulum was very disappointing.

great staff and location, however the atmosphere sucked the hostel was always empty with rarely any people around or events to make friends

For me one of the best hostels i have been so far during my travels! The room was clean, there was a nice rooftopbar+pool and an open kitchen. The location was perfect too! Many thanks to the whole stuff, especially Eugenio and Joaqin!!

I had an amazing stay at Che Bacalar!! The place is really clean and tidy while also being super social and just great vibes in general. The staff really make it what it is and big shoutout to Josie on reception for being so welcoming straight away! Also thanks to Adriana, Griss, Kevin, both of the Diego’s, Eduardo, David, Emma, Alondra and Citlali for making it such a great stay!!! I will be back!

All the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed our private room for the 3 of us women and felt very safe. A very walkable location to the beach and 5th street. Thank You CHE

stayed for over a week. when I tried to extend to a private room they made me checkout at 11am and wait until 3pm to check-in again which seems to be inconsiderate as they didn't mention it while paying for extention. Also they said we get a better deal when book at reception but ended up paying USD 5 extra than what's on Hostelworld. Bartender girl was grumpy and on phone all the time. Rooms were okay but staff could've been better. Not much activities organised by staff here compared to other

Muy recomendable! Los chicos de recepción (Eugi, Alan, Joaco y Chalo) unos genios! Siempre bien predispuestos para recomendar y ayudar en lo que se necesite. Tambien se encuentran actividades todos los días por parte del staff que están muy buenas y animan a todos para participar, el bar lo mismo siempre con la mejor onda y buena vibra! Gracias a todos!

I loved my stay at Che in Playa del Carmen! They organize loads of activities and staff is incredibly helpful; Gonzalo made sure I had everything I needed and gave great recommendations for my stay! I would come back any time; the only thing I didn’t love was that both rooms Istayed in had no windows and were a bit stuffy and dark but I guess that’s just the nature of the building. Location is super central and it was very clean.

Location was great! So close to the ferry and 5 mins walk to the shops. Only issue is that the toilets don’t always flush.

Really friendly staff, welcoming and helpful with tips about the area and also get involved with creating a good atmosphere for social events. Good rooms with comfortable beds with lots of charging points etc.

I had the best time in Che playa! I stayed in a private room which was super specious and well equipped. There were social activities every night (and day!) which was definitely the highlight! Special shoutout to Fernando and Tomy from the experience team and Alan and Eugenio from reception who made my first time in Central America into one of my most comfortable and fun stays! I will definitely be back!!

Had a fantastic stay at Che Playa! Great vibe and super easy to meet people here. I had booked a bed in the 4-bed female dorms and didn't realize it was just below the bar so was pretty loud at night. Perfect if you're there to party but I hadn't slept the previous night and had been traveling all day so asked if there was a quieter place i could be moved to after the first night. They moved me to a private room in their adjacent building!! Amazing and kind staff. Stay here if you get a chance!

The stay was amazing! Great pool. The atmosphere was cool for nighttime. Eugenio was especially helpful and made sure the guests had a good time.
