Tribu hostel is amazing, designed perfectly for a hostel, with amazing attention to detail. The hostel is a beautiful building, with lots of different spaces to enjoy, including rooftops, bars and an excellent kitchen. The staff are super helpful and the vibe in the hostel is great. The hostel is perfectly located to the beach and I enjoyed the activities... More

With friendly staff, a fun atmosphere and great amenities, Tribu is definitely worth a visit. The hostel offers lots of fun activities in the evenings, including BBQs and live music. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the kitchen is really well kitted out. It's not located in the town centre, but since it's such a small island, the walk... More

The Hostel is a nice place to stay on Isla Holbox. As the Center of the Island is not soo big you can reach everything by a short walking distance. As well to the beach it is just one block to walk, so very quickly. There is a nice place to have breakfast just one block away, but unfortunately it... More

I stayed here 3 nights during my Mexico trip in the mixed dormitory with air-con with my friend. It is the best hostel for me so far because - great staff (really helpful - provided me a laptop to upload my pictures to the internet, very friendly, easygoing) - very nice owners (they are always around) - beautiful hostel building...

We stayed there for 2 nights. The deals from the hostel are very fair. We paid for a tour less than others on the same one. There were some activities the night. People from other hotels are coming to have a drink at this place but it remains quiet and no difficulties to sleep at night ;-) Good value!

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
