Guest Reviews

• lagunes (9/5): -
• Marie Angelika (10/5): -
• Alexandre (9/5): -
• Janice (9/5): - Had an amazing stay! The staff were friendly and very helpful. Good location for walking to find food and bicycles for rent are a great deal. Very safe and comfortable stay. Only downside was our door had a couple holes in it so some mosquitos found their way in, but that really wasn't a bother.
• Victoria (8/5): - El staff es increíble Está algo retirado del centro
• Pascal (10/5): Calme et zenitude au rendez-vous - Très bel hostel reposant. Personnel réactif et aux petits soins Très bons conseils : visites, restaurant Petit déjeuner un peu léger
• Laonet (7/5): -
• Zahra (10/5): -
• Anais (8/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix - L’emplacement, les deux réceptionnistes sont extrêmement gentils Le concept, l’écrin de nature dans la ville Rapport qualité prix Il y a beaucoup trop de moustiques dans les salles de bain et à l’extérieur C’est assez difficile de gérer la température des tubes , trop froid ou trop chaud
• Molly (8/5): Nice hostal in excellent location - Super nice staff and great location.
• Karolina (10/5): -
• Fabienne (7/5): - Endroit charmant, pour le prix ça fait le job largement. Calme et reposant. Tout est a disposition pour se faire a manger si besoin. Sur booking, l'heure d'arrivée est prévue a 14h30. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés il a fallu attendre 15h00 l'heure d'arrivée pour l'hôtel voir même un peu plus le temps que la propriétaire règle un problème alors que les chambres étaient prêtes. Je trouve ça un peu juste. Il y a bcp de moustique. Prévoir l'anti moustique.
• Kassiane Souza (10/5): - Amei o local! Ótima localização e instalações, funcionários muito prestativos e nos deram ótimas dicas para aproveitar o local, além da vibe do local ser muito boa :). Recomendo Nada
• Noélia (8/5): - La disponibilité du personnel. Plusieurs toilettes et douches communes propres. Salle à manger sympa avec les tubes. Situé à 5min à pied d'un immense centre commercial. Le déjeuner compris était très basique: lait, céréales, pain carré, thé, café. Taxe sur ajoutées à payer en plus à l'arrivée. Les vélos loués pour une après-midi et ils n'ont pas fait de geste commercial pour un prix réduit vu qu'on ne les utilisait pas 24h. De plus, les vélos étaient un peu vieux et ma selle tombait toujours. Un peu loin à pied de la terminal de bus.
• Charlotte (4/5): - Watch out when you book at this place. We ended up in a TENT, not in the tubes displayed in the pictures … There is free water available to drink in the kitchen and a fridge if you need. The wifi was perfectly working (in our tent). Well, I booked a « room » and ended up in a tent which was completely overpriced. Felt a bit of a scam as you have to pay an obscure tax supposedly to the government. But this government only accept cash (weird), and does not provide any paper or proof of payment. There is a hand-written paper at the desk for sure — although with 30 pesos erased to become 35 pesos. When I did the booking I already paid this amount in « tax and charges » and was not supposed to pay anything more. When we arrived in the night we had to organise everything around getting to an ATM to withdraw money to pay this as the lady refused to give us the keys otherwise. We are now in another place and they never mentioned such a tax. Just to let you know, if you sleep in the tent you are right beside the common area, so everyone can pass during the night and the lights are never switched off ..
• Marcos Pacheco Millahual (4/5): - La ubicación y los gatos ( tienen 3) Por confusiones en la reservación, terminamos pagando por una carpa en el patio. Amanecimos todos enrronchados por los mosquitos. Durmiendo al lado de un gringo borracho. Otro fumando marihuana inundando el lugar. La reservación incluía un "desayuno" que terminó siendo pan con margarina y mermelada (que había que esperar que desocuparan para raspar el pote), café y te.
• ATCHAMA-SAGALOU (8/5): Un très bon endroit confortable et qui est très ecolo. C’est chouette d’avoir un concept comme celui dans un lieu aussi - Le concept est original. Il permet d’avoir une intimité en Hostel. C’est très chouette. Le personnel donne de bons conseils en fonction de vos envies et budgets. Je ne vais pas dire que je n’ai pas aimé car c’est normal. Cest assez naturel comme endroit donc il y a pas mal d’insectes donc prévoyez des anti moustiques. Prévoyez des choses pour le petit déjeuner en fonction de vos goûts car ça reste très simple.
• Christine (10/5): Auberge coup de coeur! - Notre auberge coup de cœur de tout le séjour au Mexique ! Surtout grâce à l’accueil exceptionnel de Richie, qui a partagé ses meilleures recommandations (plages, cenotes, snorkeling avec les tortues, ruines…). Location de vélos sur place à prix abordable — parfait pour explorer facilement. Les espaces communs animés sont à l’avant, tandis que les chambres à l’arrière offrent un calme absolu. Emplacement idéal près du terminal d’autobus et des collectivos, avec une foule de restaurants à proximité. Grande cuisine conviviale, installations sanitaires (toilettes et douches) spacieuses, et petit déjeuner inclus pour bien démarrer la journée. On recommande les yeux fermés !
• Selina (10/5): -
• Kai (10/5): - The hosts made our stay perfect! The amount of recommendations and information is wonderful! I stayed in the room. The bed was huge and the aircon great. Bathrooms are tidy and sowers have their private toilet and sink. Breakfast is basic but with some eggs or avocado from Chedraui you can easily upgrade it yourself.
• KILLIAN (10/5): -
• Marika (10/5): Unfortunately we stayed just for one night but the place has great vibes! - Amazing place! It’s a little jungle sanctuary. The owner is very thoughtful about the environment and animals. Richie helped us to navigate in Tulum and also for next travels.
• Nina (10/5): -
• Clémence (9/5): - Les espaces communs très agréables, très propres et petit déjeuner avec café et pain de mie ! Les chiens de la gérante sont pas très accueillants, grognent et aboient, n’inspirent pas confiance
• Nuñez (10/5): - La habitación donde dormimos
• Cesar Curiel (10/5): - La gente que trabaja allí siempre están atentos para poderte aconsejar . excelente ,y el espacio es encantador, muy buena experta
• Marc-Henri (9/5): -
• Margaret (10/5): -
• Oleksii (5/5): The hostel is ok, but the owner is the rudest person we met in a hotel - The hostel is actually OK, I would have given it a higher score, but... ...but the owner is so rude, even offensive. She communicated with us quite aggressively about minor things. I can not believe that a hostel owner can do that to her guests.
• Maxim (9/5): Absolut Empfehlenswert - Alles war sehr sauber, die Badezimmer wurden mehrmals täglich gereinigt, das WLAN war fantastisch, mein Bett war bequem und das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das inklusive Frühstück war sehr minimalistisch. Aber das ist anscheinend normal in Quintana Roo. Tagsüber war es mir zu laut, aber das liegt daran, dass zur Zeit viel gebaut wird in Tulum.
• Katherine (9/5): -
• Sandrine (10/5): Excellent accueil et gentille du personnel je recommande . - La gentillesse du personnel et le lieu très très bien . Les chambres atypiques mais super je recommande fortement cet établissement.
• Linda (10/5): It was very enjoyable highly recommend - Everything the energy was so peaceful it was so clean. Happy staff, I will return. Nothing
• Zapata (8/5): - The atmosphere is very welcoming and Joel made us feel right at home. He showed us around and the process to check in was smooth. The tubes are thin so you can easily hear people outside when they pass by. We didn't mind it.
• Claire (8/5): - Great atmosphere. Super helpful staff. Loved the environment and felt like staying in the jungle. A little far from things but just meant we got our steps up
• Matteo (10/5): - I love the staff , always smiling, available and ready to answer any questions . They gave me really good tips for my trips and adventures. I also met really good people here. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this place.
• Judith (7/5): -
• Eneko (10/5): -
• David (7/5): Exactly as advertised - Very unique To many cats. Didn’t bother me. Other guests complained
• David (8/5): - The central garden surrounded by units was like an oasis. The mattress in my room was very comfortable. Homey feel, given the resident.friendly cats and dogs. Staff were almost constantly sweeping and wiping and scrubbing. A few more padded seats would have been nice.
• F.Gabriel (10/5): - El mejor alojamiento en Tulum. Destacar las instalaciones, la ubicación y el trato del personal Richard y Joel. Perfecto 😉😊👌🏻
• Kiyomi (10/5): -
• Tristan (9/5): - Enorm vriendelijk personeel, het ontbijt en de badkamers.
• Camila (10/5): Increíble hostal! - Hermoso hostal, muy bien ubicado y con un personal muy amable. Todo estaba super limpio y cuidado, nos hubiera gustado quedarnos más tiempo. Hay muy buen ambiente y se siente como una pequeña comunidad, el desayuno estaba muy rico. 100% recomendado. Volveremos, muchas gracias!
• Franco (8/5): No se trata del alojamiento más bien de impuestos - La limpieza, el concepto, la comodidad Recomendable Que si bien el impuesto al turista que hay que pagar ( 35 pesos por huésped por día y por noche) lo establece el municipio para absorber del turismo lo máximo, este debería estar incluido ya en el precio final de la reserva, y no enterarse por mensaje una vez que ya compré la reserva, porque si lo quiero cancelar ya pierdo dinero, hay una jugada media tramposa por allí.. Por esto pongo 8 y no 10
• Hauke (10/5): -
• NANCY ELIZABETH (10/5): Excelente trato del personal, buena ubicación. - Excelente lugar para hospedarte, la ubicación, el lugar en la naturaleza y la atención del personal es muy buena, siempre atentos y brindando recomendaciones, tendrás cercanía del centro y la zona hotelera, es mi segunda vez hospedándome aquí, sin duda volveré.
• Valentine (10/5): Parfait - Le personnel est extrêmement gentil et bienveillant avec tous. Une expérience unique, des animaux avec nous. Rien à redire tout était très propre je recommande +++
• Vurro (8/5): - ¿Qué puedo decir? Buena ubicación y Joele una buona persona paciente me ayudó muchísimo a resolver un problema serio. Gracias joele no te olvidaré cómo no olvido los dulces compartidos
• Philip (10/5): -
• Tainã (10/5): -
• Abdul hakim (1/5): Schlecht - Nix Sehr unbequem
• Elizaveta (8/5): - Friendly staff, clean bathrooms When I arrived, My tube smelled a lot like sweat, of the previous guest I guess Also, be aware they put music in common areas at like 8am so you wake up until you have earplugs
• Gabriela (10/5): - Es war super schön sehr nettes und hilfreiches personal mit allen auskünften die mann braucht und noch mehr yvonne und richi super gastgeber Danke vielmals komme wieder 🤣👍
• Heather (9/5): -
• Adriana (7/5): - Lovely place in the jungle! Great costumer service! 10/10! Fast check in! Very helpful staff! I will definitely come back! Thank you Tubo Tulum Hostel! The breakfast can improve by having fresh fruit and good coffee.
• Megan (10/5): - Everything! The staff was fabulous. It's a great place to stay. Cats and dogs are so adorable and friendly. Everything was perfect. I have no complaints.
• Paul (10/5): -
• Benjamin (10/5): - Everyone here are so friendly and very helpful with any questions you have, we quickly hired bikes from the hostel, cycling is a great way to get around Tulum. The hostel is a treasure and in my opinion should be utilised if you are on a budget. In the future it could be difficult to find gems like this one. Breakfast is decent, bring your own and cook it up if you like, or choose from the coffee and cereal etc on offer, there is a huge new supermarket minutes up the road where you can purchase anything you require. The guests and staff are very welcoming, if you are social you can hang out in the communal areas where there are sometimes gatherings and language and culture classes, or just swing the day away in a hammock! There was nothing I disliked about our stay.
• Camila (9/5): - Richie its the best person! And also the vibe its amazing, good for digital nomads that I want a little peace to work
• ROSA (3/5): Horrible - Nada Nada todo lo más espantoso q he podido estar
• Katie (10/5): Tubo Tulum is the best - clean, comfortable, calming, great location, and helpful friendly staff! - Turbo Tulum was the best! Ritchie, Joel, and Yvonne were all very helpful with friendly, practical advice for food, activities, and transportation. My room was so clean, comfortable, and cozy! I recommend the partial day trip to the underground cenote, which they sell admission for — amazing underwater views of the caves, and reasonably priced. Easy to walk to El Jaguar Park beach (about 30 minutes to park entry) or catch transportation. Biria restaurant just a small walk away had good food. Nothing. Everything was great!
• Victor crd (10/5): - Staff très accueillant avec pleins de bons conseils, les chambres sont petites mais très confortables, on peut facilement louer un vélo et explorer tulum !
• Kunz (8/5): -
• Dave (9/5): - Très bonne accueil. Super propre et bien entretenu Un peu tannant le plancher rond des tubes.
• mayoud (8/5): - Excellent rapport qualité prix, accueil au top, auberge de jeunesse vraiment super, très bien placé, et je tiens vraiment à souligner la propreté des espaces communs et en particulier les sanitaires.
• Katia (10/5): -
• Johannes (9/5): Uitstekende locatie,voorzieningen en sfeer. - Relaxte sfeer en vriendelijke eigenaresse Bedden wat hard
• Jakob (10/5): -
• Clemens (9/5): -
• edward (8/5): All the essentials in one place - A lot of thought went into the design of the tubes. All the things a person might need were there: air conditioning, storage space, hooks, lights, outlets for charging. The greater space had a nice garden with seating, cooking and meeting space. The staff were helpful and friendly.
• Ruben (8/5): Très satisfaisant et très calme - Le personnel très sympathique et à l'écoute. La chambre est conforme à la description et heureusement qu'il y a une clim. Les espaces communs sont très charmant et propre. Je recommande les yeux fermés. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais bon. Les poubelles ne sont pas fermés donc il y a une odeur de caca dans les toilettes et sdb.
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Yoann (10/5): -
• Pol (10/5): A very chilled, relaxed and welcoming vibe, excellent. -
• Guest (9/5): -
• Amber (7/5): -
• Daniel (6/5): If you wanna go cheap and sacrifice some comfort, this is for you. - Affordable and a good location. Also, very clean! The room is literally a bed, nothing more, you can barely stand inside the room.
• Lisa-Marie (7/5): Overall awesome if we weren't in the tent - Loved the hostel vibe, staff was very helpful and kind, bathrooms and kitchen clean and overall we really liked it. Very good value for money The only thing that made us give 7/10 was that the tent we stayed in smelled like piss unfortunately, which made it very unpleasant. Maybe because of the roaming cats, not sure. Easy fix by cleaning out that area tho.
• mark (10/5): Amazing place, great staff clean and in great location. I will be back ;) - Great hostel, staff amazing kept very clean! 3 Luvley cats also :) There wasn’t more cats 😹
• Shimshon (1/5): -
• Hassiki (10/5): Highly recommend for backpack travellers ! - Looks exactly like the photos. The vibe of the hostel is incredible, everything is clean (including common areas, WC and showers). The staff is very friendly, big up to Richy who was the nicest, the best with his recommandations and good plans. The kitchen is big and functional, you can store your food in the fridge. The location is very good, although you need a bike or a scooter to visit Cancun (no uber). you can rent a bike at 150$ at the hostel. There’s a big supermarket nearby, the public beach is 15 min by bike, and Pueblo neighbourhood is 18 min walk. Be aware that the Tube is really tiny. You have to store your luggage under the bed. And too much mosquitos, don’t forget your spray !
• Alina (9/5): - Das Hostel ist eine kleine grüne Oase inmitten des trubeligen Tulums! Das Personal war immer mega freundlich, jederzeit ansprechbar und hat uns gute Tipps gegeben! Es war außerdem super sauber, ein großer Supermarkt war nur einen kurzen Spaziergang entfernt und auch die Hostel Küche war super! Wir würden immer wieder kommen :) Der Raum hat etwas feucht gerochen, die positiven Dinge des Hostels haben das aber mehr als aufgewogen :)
• Désilets (8/5): -
• Corinna (10/5): -
• Lucie (8/5): - L endroit atypique et coloré était agréable pour passer quelques nuits à Tulum L odeur d égout en face de ma chambre.
• Yaellia (10/5): -
• Moscarelli (10/5): - J'adore la créativité de ce hostel. Il est simple et plein de charme à la fois. J'ai tout apprécié. Cependant les options d'alimentation du petit déjeuner n'étaient pas vraiment à mon goût.. Mais étant donné le prix du séjour, je n' ai pas à me plaindre.
• Gina (10/5): -
• Marco Rafael (8/5): Algo como una cápsula de las que hay en Japón con toque mexicano - Muy bien para lo que yo iba: Estancia solo yo una noche. Todo bien, de acuerdo a lo esperado. No iría con mi esposa, por ejemplo
• Maria (8/5): - THE IC didn’t work correctly Everything other was PERFECT
• Victoria (10/5): Foncez - Rien à redire, c'était super
• David (10/5): A welcoming retreat - Lovely staff, all of them went out of their way to give me great advice. All so friendly. Bathrooms really clean. One of the only hostels with private rooms in the town was a nice touch and the dogs and cats are great to come back to Nothing really, everything met or exceeded my expectations
• Guest (7/5): -
• Valery (10/5): - Tout, c'est magnifique ! Rien
• Valery (10/5): - Le concept est génial L'état d'esprit zen et accueillant Havre de paix près du centre ville et des ruines Maya La décoration La proximité de très bons restaurants Les moustiques comme partout au Mexique ! Ne pas oublier d'avoir un produit contre les petits moustiques
• Marilyne Martine Patricia (10/5): - J'ai tout apprécié ici!! Un endroit qui se veut éco Friendly et qui l'applique réellement ! Le personnel est tout bonnement très très agréable !! Joël y ? . Le lieu est juste magnifique ! Il y a une cuisine partagée où tout est à disposition. Ils proposent aussi des excursions en partenariat, j'ai fait celle de Casa Tortuga, génial !! Et ils ont d'autres services comme la laverie, un bar à chats/chiens 🐈‍⬛🐕, un parking, possibilité de louer scooter et veló, .... Les douches et toilettes sont hypra propres et jolis !! J'airai dû réserver qu'ici lors de mon séjour à Tulum Rien
• CORREIA LAURENT (10/5): Exceptionnel - Lieux très charmant, vraiment pas chère pour ce qu’on nous offres, personnel très très accueillant et gentil, on ne peux pas trouvé un meilleur rapport qualité prix , vraiment pas loin à pied du centre ville, il faut juste être vigilant a passer par la grande route plutôt que coupé par la forêt ou se trouve les bidonvilles
• Gabriel (10/5): -
• Daria (8/5): - A pretty cool hostel with individual "rooms" inside concrete tube sections. The "rings" seen in hostel photos are chunks of industrial concrete tubing cut cross-wise. Inside each ring is a bed spanning the diameter of the tube, a few hooks, lighting and an air conditioning unit. Pros - Private rooms for a very economical price - Very clean - Good air conditioning, adjustable temperature - Beautiful grounds - Well-maintained communal space - A big supermarket within a 5 min walk - Super friendly staff - Next to a busy road with trucks and buses, very noisy diring the day. - A bit far from Tulum center and bus terminal, 15-20 min walk. As a side note, there is no public transportation, no Uber/Didi, and taxis are a mafia with exorbitant prices (not the fault of the hostel obv) - A single cloth for cleaning up in the kitchen that get yucky as the day progresses and no paper towels (I asked) - The floor inside the tubes/rooms is concave with no flat surface to stand on. It would be nice if it was fixed because the tubes in the common area do have a flat floor.
