This hostel is the best hostel we visited in Central America, no doubt about it. We heard about this hostel from the hostel we've been to in Isla Mujeres (they have a promotion together with a few hostels around Mexico, 12th night for free, which we forgot about and payed for the 12th night, and they actually gave us the...

We LOVED this hostel : great vibe, super clean, fairly priced, everything you need (kitchen, chilled out area, swings!) !!! The staff is really cool and make it a special place. There are a lot of places on Holbox and for having visited quite a few, compare prices, location and comfort, and Tribu is the best one. They also organise... More

I stayed here for 2 nights with a friend in a mixed dorm of 10. We lucked out big time as there were only 4 of us staying in the room but it wouldn't have mattered as the rooms are spacious and well ventilated with fans and air con! The place itself is beautifully done. The different coloured buildings are... More

I stayed at Tribu twice both in a private room (a great value) and in the dorms. I was very happy with both. The place is clean, has a very nice kitchen and the staff is very friendly and helpful.Altogether, it runs like a well-oiled machine. I also appreciated that they took Paypal, super convenient, especially on the island, where... More

I fell in love at Tribu Hostel in Holbox Island Yucatan...in love with the country and its' people. The hostel was perfect for my needs and the family running it are really down to earth. Hi Mia ! I know people will now flock to it and possibly ruin it...but I'm counting that the logistics of getting there will deter... More

Stayed here after a bad experience at another hostel on the island which I left early, Tribu had been my initial first choice but they didn't have a private room available..just goes to show that you should always follow your instincts and compromise if necessary, the place is more important in the end than the room. I ended up in... More

Isla Holbox is a magical place, just like this little hostel. They usually run full, so worth booking in advance. I stayed in a 10 bedded dorm - well, as you can imagine, I didn't get the best sleep of my life, it's just a way it is when you share with so many people. But in fairness, perhaps I... More

I stayed at Tribu over new year 2013 and I had the best time. The hostal is clean, the staff is helpful, and the place itself feels like your home away from home. They have a great kitchen that is fully equiped, a nice shaded area with hammocks to hang out, a "theatre" to show some movies when the weather... More

One of the best places I have ever been. Beautiful, clean, new, social, great kitchen, daily events. Owners that care about their business and not just to make money, but to make people happy and fall in love with Isla Holbox, and you will.
