My stay at Elmar was just amazing! The place is really beautiful and well crafted, the shared room is spacious, gives a very nice sense of privacy and the beds are really comfortable. The team is just the sweetest, they really help in making the place special and welcoming for everyone. I loved how it is a very calm hostel, but allows for a very social atmosphere. Definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in <3

Very nice spacious room. Awesome shower, hammock in the room which was cool for hanging out! Complementary coffee and a good location. What more does one need? That’s right, nothing ;)

the property has amazing views and is right by the lagoon, offers a lot of activities (the lagoon is « resting » on Wednesdays so nothing is happening but the hostel organises events during the day and a massive party on the evening so you won’t get bored) the rooms aren’t massive but they have good views too, the bathrooms are amazing and the beds are pretty comfortable ! the staff is super friendly, would highly recommend

I had an amazing time at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything I needed, from organizing tours to giving great local tips. Especially Andreja! The location is perfect — right near the lagoon, with stunning views and easy access to everything. The facilities were spotless, the common areas were super chill, and the vibe was exactly what I was looking for: relaxed and social without being too noisy. I loved the pool and rooftop to relax. The bed was comfortable, and I really appreciated the privacy of a private room. I would absolutely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Bacalar — it felt like a little home away …

Beds were comfy, and the room is well-equipped for humid, hot nights. It was overall clean. The common areas are simple but good enough to chill. The host and volunteers were very friendly, too!

    Friendly reception and staff, allowing storage of backpacks if arriving early. A proper backpacker place with good vibe, interesting people and good advice available for forward transport. Good internet and quiet at night. Incredibly cheap beer with a nice rooftop to enjoy it on. Good location. Definitely return on way back.

    Fantastic staff, super friendly, supper chatty. Which I always love! Feels more welcoming when you can become friends with whoever is on staff. The bunk beds were comfortable. The kitchen was relatively clean. And had some nice seating areas to meet other travellers and chat. Overall a very welcoming hostel.
