“THE BEST HOSTEL IN CANCUN”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

I love everything about Hostel Ka'beh! The staff is international and so awesome, you don't even want to leave the place. The rooms are amazing and beds so comfortable, you forget you're at a hostel. It is located in a perfect location and is a short trip to the beach. You can arrange every activity you want to do in Cancun through the hostel and there is always a fun activity going on right outside your dorm. The common area is very inviting and you can take a nice nap on all the hammocks. I was traveling alone and I left with a whole new group of friends.

Room Tip: All the bunks are clean and comfortable! Some rooms with more bunks and some with less

“Small but cosy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

I've stayed at the Ka'beh hostel for about 5 days. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood, close enough to some bars and busstation (which brings you easily to the zona hotelleres).
The hostel is rather small, but there are two very nice dorms. The bathrooms are comfy and the kitchen is more than usefull. The info, service and possibilities at the hostel are great. Never a problem to have a party or play beerpong.

“looking for Chance”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

We meet at the hostel the night of 4th of September and I am really willing to me my Chance again. ;-) It was our last day of trip and the boss David offered us a lift to an amazing disco by car : "coco bongo". The show was outstanding!
I hope I will find you somehow.

“The worst start to a great trip.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The reviews about the Hostel Kabeh made us desperate to stay there but the reality was distinctly unpleasant. The two dorms are miniscule and uncomfortable, with barely enough space to move around. I understand that the Kabeh is a microhostel, but when i woke up and hit my head on the ceiling, i was less than understanding then. The hostels communal areas are almost non existant, and the tiny lounge and kitchen were both dirty and untidy. The one bathroom we were allowed to use was small but bearable. There were several good options for breakfast but we were put off from cooking by the unclean kitchen utensils and cooker. We have since moved on from Cancun and found other wonderful hostels, so it was so disappointing to have got our trip off to such an unenjoyable start. To rub salt into the wound, the Kabeh Hostel is overpriced for the service you receive. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Room Tip: You have the choice of two cramped dorms.

“Came back and it is even better now!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

They have just replaced all their airbeds for real mattresses. Now they also offer nightly fun activities - Movie Night, BBQ, Guacamole Night, Game Night. Good deals booking tours to surrounding attractions. Transportation to airport available at a charge.

Room Tip: 10 bed dorm has large ensuite bathroom. It is also in the back so better for those that like to go...
