Bostel Rancho Viejo

My 2 nights at Bostel were some of my favourite of my Mexico trip! It’s a really nice hostel and the perfect place to have mushrooms. Amazing views nearby. We also booked Temazcal at reception and it was one of the most unique, tough, and memorable things I’ve done in Mexico. The wooden floors are a bit squeaky and the toilets lack privacy, but otherwise the dorms and shared spaces were the best I’ve stayed in.

excellent hostel, niché dans les nuages (à 10mn en tuktuk ou 30mn à pieds du centre de San José), propre, confortable et bien entretenu : lits confortables, juste pas de rideau pour les upper beds, douches chaudes et avec un bon jet. il y a un point de vue magnifique donnant sur les montagnes qui fait partie du domaine de l’hostel 🍄

Gorgeous place, surrounded by mountains and nature! The facilities are great too and very easy to meet people! The only issue is that WiFi wasn’t working great during my stay.

bastante bonito, la Vista impresionante y el lugar bastante limpio y espacioso

A beautiful hostel with wooden structures in midst of cloudy mountains. Loads of nature around, so each traveler type will find something for their needs. The common areas are gorgeous and warm, there are blankets for everyone and even a fireplace. The kitchen area was crowded and got messy quick. That's probably though mostly dependent on the people currently staying there. The hostel's walls are thin, so if you really want your quiet space, I'd recommend a different place.

Beautiful building, great facilties, incredible location with viewpoints, balconies, hammocks and chill out areas everywhere. Short mototaxi trip into town (or 25-30 mins walk).

Me encantó el lugar. Se siente como una casa lujosa en el bosque. Las áreas comunes son modernas y parecen nuevas. Está a 5 min en moto del pueblo de San José, pero creo que eso es una ventaja, es muy tranquilo y casi sin ruidos de coches. En definitiva volveré a hospedarme aquí.

A beautiful place to stay in the most beautiful location. It feels more like a luxury resort than a hostel. There’s a very nice vibe as well with everyone socialising at night. The volunteers are very nice as well.

Great hostel, nice people, professionally organized, cozy, a fantastic choice!

This place is beautiful! It's a bit outside of San Jose, but its easy to walk or hire a Tuktuk. The facilities and chill areas are super nice and there is an amazing viewpoint. It's a social but chill vibe.

Absolutely stunning surroundings, very cozy interior, did not feel like a hostel, felt like home

Loved it. Gorgeous place, felt super relaxing and like a home. Clean and beds are comfortable. Would highly recommend the temezcal ceremony!

Really enjoyed my time here. Quite a cold place though, and when the wind was blowing there was a really cold draught through the whole building.

great location and the common areas are really nice. The dorm was a bit cramped, the bunk beds shaky and you can hear everything from outside the drom

Best Hostel I have stayed in

Everything was amazing, go get your shrooms blessed they were so good (temazcal Kienasu) cost 550 Mexican pesos. Just don’t leave you stuff out in the rooms my AirPods got stolen by the cleaners 😭

It's the best hostel I visited in my 5 weeks of Mexiko. Everything was perfect.

Incredibly special place to stay, most beautiful views of the mountains, so many places to relax and enjoy, short tuktuk ride from town. Staff are lovely and make everyone feel so welcome

Probably the only genuine 10/10 hostel I've stayed in. It's feels like a ski resort, there's so many view points and places to chill, a restaurant, a little shop, 20 pesos to get to town or take the walk which is about 25mins and really pretty

The hostel itself was nice but I am extremely disappointed with my experience during the temazcal ceremony offered through this hostel. What began as a meaningful and empowering ritual ended in a deeply inappropriate situation. The guide offered a massage as part of the “sacred” ceremony, which felt manipulative and unprofessional. I went from feeling grounded and connected to feeling extremely unsafe. I hope the hostel takes feedback like this seriously and ensures that all experiences ...
