Kin Hostal and Camping

Auberge de jeunesse bien située: un peu en dehors du centre, ce qui amène une belle tranquilité. Douches et toilettes en quantité suffisantes, nettoyées tous les jours, et grande cuisine bien équpée Grand espace commun avec hamacs, et tables. Le personnel est un peu froid, mais très serviable lorsque nous avons des questions. Espaces de rangement attribués à chaque tente adéquat pour le stockage de nourriture (armoire, frigo) et pour les sacs de voyage. Lors de notre séjour, les voyageurs ont été très respectueux du bruit. Plages et restaurants à proximité. Nightlife un peu plus loin, pour ceux qui désirent sortir. Séjour sur l'île après la pluie, donc boue blanche un peu partout dans le village (difficile à éviter à pied). A NE PAS MANQUER: au bout EST de l'île, accéder à une "autoroute" consituée de sable blanc peu profond, pour vous rendre à la prochaine île à pied. AUSSI, accès au coucher du soleil à la plage la plus proche, tous les soirs.

Un peu bruyant du fait que nous sommes en tente (donc moins d'isolation).

Le camping est très chouette, la cuisine est bien équipée, il y a des casiers à clé pour les campeurs, les sanitaires sont propres, et le personnel est très sympa !

J'ai aimé les prises électriques dans la toile de tante en revanche aussi était un peu petite

Dommage qu'il s'éteignent la lumière un peu trop tôt. Dans le côté jardin accueil

I loved the place! First of all it's really clean everywhere around. There is a spacious kitchen and the best and completely furnished live I've never seen anywhere in my life, not even a restaurant! All the volunteers here are nice and friendly people, they work hard every day to keep clean all around and prepare the tents in a perfect way and they were asking me always if I needed anything when I was sick.. I could spend the whole day of my check out on the couch (it supposed to be on the beach that's why I had the ferry in the evening :( ) so sad enough but really nice! The tents are pretty comfy, there is not a proper mattress but it's okay! Enough space, there are sockets and a proper lamp in it! There is a strong fan in each tent that works perfectly and keep you so fresh all the time! Clean toilets and showers for everyone with no hot water which is fine with those temperature during the day! The camp itself is small you have rope around to hang all your clothes, you have space to wash them, a big barbecue available, hammocks around and table with benches where to meat and talk with new people! Free water to cook and refill your bottle, little locker to store your dry food and your space in the fridge. Big locker for your bag on personal object. It's in a super quiet street and actually 10 min from the main square and the Chedraui supermarket. Just outside they have their own shop with basic fruit and and everything you need, eggs, repellent, cola, frozen fish and the prices are not too bad at all! 5 min from the beach and 15 from the ferry! Racoon all night long running around! :D Not annoying, noisy just scary or cute if you don't know! Cheapest and chill option on the island!

L'ambiance chil, l'équipe, la cuisine extérieure, le partage et les échanges avec les autres voyageurs, le confort des lit.

Tout était super !

Super endroit, personnel accueillant à l'écoute et serviable. Tout est bien organisé pour les casiers et frigos. Sanitaires nettoyés régulièrement. Endroit propre et agréable

I was completely taken aback by this place. Not really knowing what to expect with the whole ‘staying in a tent thing’, I was totally surprised, in the best possible way. Kin is a well thought out and attractive little oasis, tucked away but centrally located. It has a charm and ambiance which in my opinion is unmatched and enhanced be the delightful crew of travellers, volunteers and individuals working there. They were to a person considerate, kind and thoughtful souls, who were a delight to be around. The tents were well positioned and the mattresses inside comfortable. I felt safe and secure throughout my stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return were I ever to return to Holbox.

There is nothing I would wish to complain about!

El hostal estaba muy descuidado, y el desayuno era una taza de café. Encuentras hostales muchísimo mejores por el mismo precio.

Friendly, information was great facilities were great and I would definitely recommend to anyone going to Isla holbox and looking to see a more rustic beautiful way to stay on the island, top notch in my humble opinion

This was the cheapest place I found on Holbox, and the best! I had a private tent all for myself with a fan, power outlets, a light and wifi coverage. The kitchen is very well equipped. The location is close to the center but not inside, the perfect balance. The volunteers we're all super nice and made the place feel like a home with a family.

The only downsides I found to this place: mosquitos in the bathrooms, no hot water in the showers (although you don't really need hot water in this climate), and the wifi was mostly good but there were moments when the connection failed.

Lieu bien entretenu avec une cuisine bien équipée. Nous avons été agréablement surprises de voir qu’il servait du café le matin, ce qui était sympa. Tous les volontaires sont gentils et bienveillants et les tentes sont en bon état avec de l’électricité et un petit ventilateur

La cuisine très bien équipée, les hamacs

Ce n’est pas une auberge wouah mais elle fait très bien l’affaire

A good two star stay is still two star, so don’t expect more. Friendly people, well-equipped kitchen but cold showers and a futon bed. Enough privacy when desired.

De gezamelijke ruimte om te zitten en te koken.

Ein sehr süßer Campingplatz in dem doch sehr touristischen holbox Man fühlt sich fast wie in einer parallel Welt, weil es dort sehr ruhig ist und man auf süße Menschen trifft. Das Hostel wird von Volunteers geleitet die sehr nett sind. Man fühlt sich sehr wohl und die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet gibt nahezu alles und ist ein schöner Ort für Begegnungen.

Excelente atención, lugar muy tranquilo y para descansar.

this place is lovely- i absolutely enjoyed my stay! one "planned" week turned into 3 🤣 gracias a todos🫶🏽especially to ray- el alma buena de este lugar❤️gracias por todo, amigo❤️ there is light, a fan and plugs in the tent 🫶🏽 never had this before at a camping, i think its awesome! this is the best equipped and cleanest hostel kitchen i've ever seen! and its very well maintained and taken care of. always drinkingwater for free and in the morning there is also free coffe from the hostel for everybody. everybody has its own private space in the fridge, and a little storageplace in the kitchen as well. also there is a big locker including a lock, for the luggage for everyone. the suff is awesome and super helpful and nice, i absolutely felt welcome and "home" 🥰 its a little "out of town", so its pretty quiet, what i absolutely loved as well. all in all, i would say, i highly recommand this place!

only cold shower is sometimes very hard 🤣🙉

Muy lindo y el personal y la gente que se alojaba muy amables. Áreas comunes lindas y el colchoncito en la tienda de camping super cómodo.

Vibe, location, people...everything People that work there nake you feeel at home!

La amabilidad

Que no haya agua caliente y los colchones eran muy finos

Great location, very peaceful environment, wonderful people

No hot shower

L’emplacement, les éléments de cuisines, la tente…

Il n’y a pas d’eau chaude

Todo

La actitud y atención de los anfitriones es excelente muy recomendable vivir la experiencia 👌

Las escaleras de las literas muy incómodas

- Pas cher et un bon moyen de séjourner sur Isla Holbox. À proximité de tout (15min à pied du ferry, 30min de Playa cocos, 10min de la plage principale qui mène à Playa Mosquito) - La cuisine est super bien équipée et les communs sont très propres. - Le personnel est sympa - Il y a un ventilateur dans la tente et nous n’avons pas eu chaud du tout - Il y a plein de cordes pour étendre les affaires à sécher

Il s’agit plus de petites améliorations car nous avons été satisfaits du séjour : - Il n’y a qu’un casier pour deux lorsqu’on prend une tente pour deux personnes. Nous avons pu en avoir un deuxième après avoir un peu insisté mais ce serait super d’en mettre deux directement - Le matelas est une succession de petits matelas. Ce n’était pas gênant pour nous mais pour des dos plus sensibles ce serait peut être bien de mettre des « vrais » matelas

Lits en dortoirs très confort et au calme à 10’ du centre à pird. Espaces cuisine bien équipé Tentes okay

Te tratan como en casa Muy limpio

Todo muy bn Todo me gustó

Hele leuke gemeenschappelijke ruimte met hangmatten. Genoeg ruimte en spullen om eigen maaltijden te maken. Plek werd ondanks dat het meer een camping dan hostel is erg goed schoongehouden! Ik sliep in de dorm, wat prima was. Tentjes staan erg dicht op elkaar in zoverre ik kon zien.

Veel muggen, maar die zijn overal. Koud water in de douche, dit was bekend, maar wanneer het smorgens en savond rond de 20 graden is, is dit toch niet zo prettig.

L ambiance le camping l hote ça ne pouvait pas être mieux

Douche froide

Exelente lugar para llegar a la aventura, limpio, cómodo y seguro.

No hay agua caliente

Super miejsce, polecam Wszysrkim backpakersom, bardzo czysto, bardzo wygodnie. Jestem pod wrażeniem jak personel stara się utrzymać to miejsce w czystości. Szopy szaleją w nocy, ale to super kontakt z naturą

El tracte del personal

No hi ha aigua calenta

-Staff simpatico e belle vibes -Tende comode con ventilatore e prese all’interno

-L’acqua delle docce era fredda -Il wifi prendeva poco all’interno della tenda -La posizione non è comodissima rispetto ad altri posti e alcune strade sono infangate

L’accueil de Damien et Karen La proximité avec la plage, le centre, et la supérette en face du camping L’ambiance camping et la cuisine très bien équipée Toilettes et douches propres Locker et place dans le frigo Lumière, ventilateur et prises dans la tente Café offert le matin Pour un bon rapport qualité/prix, n’hésitez pas!

Matelas des tentes un peu fins mais vivables (on est resté 6 nuits)

I had a very good experience at Kin Camping. The owner and the staff are very nice and helpful. The camping was very clean, and the kitchen great. The atmosphere of the camping is relaxed and friendly.

Le personnel était super sympa. Le gérant super a l'écoute et propose des activités pour tous ( jeux, ceviche,asado). Nous y avons passé un très bon moment.

Emplacement idéal au calme et pas très loin du centre. Cuisine très bien équipée. Ambiance très détendue où tout le monde fait vite connaissance et partage des moments agréables. Petite épicerie juste en face très pratique. Et biensur, merci à Damien le proprio qui contribue évidement grandement à ce qu’on se sente rapidement très bien chez lui avec juste l’envie d’y revenir

- a 10 min à pieds du centre ville - superbe cuisine équipée - amabilité de l’équipe de réception - le gérant est à l’écoute pour toutes demandes et conseils - mini supérette juste en face - super espace détente

Well, in the end, nothing really.

There are a lot of things to fix and improve. If not all. Things are just falling apart. And what's with the moldy TV with a broken screen? Benches, Tables also half broken. For a night, you'll survive, but for a long stay, it would be a problem. The place is dissolving and no one is really fixing it. Beds don't have walls. Or shelves. Or even hooks. Things are falling down on me all the time. My Pillow falls all the time, so I moved a bit down. Now my feet are outside and Mosquitoes eat them. I slept in a weird position just to keep the pillow under my head. Back pain all the time, which ironically kept me in bed. The pain stayed for 2 more days after I left. The bed light is right in your eyes. Whomever designed those beds is a sadist. It's more of a wild jungle camping. Scorpions, mosquitoes and raccoons. No hot water. Anywhere. Not kidding. I'm not into that much "natural" living. There is a reason why we don't live in caves anymore. This is how homeless people live on the street. Jomeless shelter would be better! Now being in a normal hostel, I'm just...wow. Che or Tribu are absolutely better.

Really enjoyed my stay at Kin, and even extended my stay by 3 nights to spend a week there. The tent I stayed in was perfect - comfortable for sleeping, with a fan, light and plug socket. They also have mosquito nets. The area is peaceful which allowed for great sleeping. All of the hostel staff and volunteers are very kind and work really hard to ensure the place is always really clean. Would highly recommend staying here when in Holbox!

Leaving

Amazing place to stay, relax, and meet other travelers. There were clear rules for the hostel and dorms that everybody followed, which made the nights very peaceful. There was a well equipped kitchen with a fridge and dry storage to leave your food. There are multiple comfy hangout spots with hammocks around, so you can choose whether you want to relax or chat a bit with other people in the hostel. Also, I loved the location, which looks on the map like it is a bit further from the main square, but there are still some shops, taquerias, and fruterias nearby, the neighbourhood is less touristy and more quiet and honestly, you can't not enjoy the walks around the island, so a couple minutes more won't matter that much I think. When I arrived at this hostel the plan was to stay for only a couple of days and I stayed for 10 days, because I had such a great time and I definitely wasn't the only one feeling that way.

Spotless facilities, cosy hammocks, cheeky raccoons and great staff - I've never seen anyone cleaning with so much dedication (italian mum standards 🤣) Chilled and super relaxing but plenty of opportunities to socialise if you want to. An extra star for the free coffee in the morning!

Leaving

The matrasses could be slighty more comfortable but thats the only downside.

Excelente Voluntarios!

Enjoyed my 1+ month stay in tent. Fresh and natural feeling. Quiet at night but easily walkable to town and other locations. Bed could be more comfortable and spaces are tight but good value for holbox. Friendly people, nice vibes

Normally we don’t stay at hostels or camping during our vacation but this one we were looking forward to, Damian was really helpful and made some great recomendations around the island. The place was great and peaceful, no party or loud noises so it was perfect for us. It was just too hot even with the ventilator so this is something you gotta have in mind.

Very cosy tent! I slept very well there even though there's racoons running around at night so don't get scared xD There's nice area just to chill or socialise with others. The staff was friendly. I didn't feel unsafe in my little tent as a solo traveller so all good.

Fun option to sleep in the tents, not hot at all. Great fully equipped kitchen. Staff very helpful and friendly. Speak French English and Spanish

Nice staff and relaxed vibes

Nice place, pleasant staff.

The hostel/camping is located close to the beach. The owner is really helpful and can speak lots of languages. The kitchen was really good equipped. The surrounding was very quiet.

For me, this place was the perfect place to stay at on Holbox. It's an easy walk from the center, but far enough to be super quiet and peaceful. It's small but social, easy going, clean, very friendly people working here and the tents were comfortable. I liked the common area, perfect to chill in a hammock or have a chat with the other guests. The kitchen was well organized too. Just around the corner is a little market where you can buy fresh fruits and food, also a nice alternative from all the restaurants in the center.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The staff is very kind and friendly,..great location and very cool vibe !!! A leasure to stay at Kin !!! Thanks 😊

All good

Super comfortable for camping! The mattresses in the tents were nice, and there were power outlets and a light inside as well. The whole area, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, were exceptionally clean. A tiny bit out of the way, but still very close and walkable to the beach and the town center.

Bring mosquito spray, but that's for the whole island. The tents have mosquito nets, so no problems sleeping

The kitchen is amazing. The tents stay dark during the day (so you can sleep for long) and they do not get hot!!! Fantastic!

Everything was like we expected, stuff was really nice and helpful!

It’s very unique. A lot of public cornerds and space. The vibe is great. You feel like you can smell freedom and dream while I am here. The bed Is comfy. Kitchen is amazing. I love everything.

Very clean and functional, great staff. Our host shared the fish he’d caught that morning, by making a delicious ceviche.

A little out of the way.

Best campground, relaxed atmosphere and super nice and helpful host. The grounds are well looked after and everything is cleaned very thoroughly every day. We would definitely come again.

I really like the vibe of this place and the type of travelers it attracts. Being mainly a camping (with one dorm) the atmosphere is chilled and laid back. Well organized regarding the cooking spaces and food storages.Mainly solo travelers and cozy communal spaces made very easy to meet people from the first day. Staff is friendly and accomodating. On one night Damian, the owner, also made barbecue for everybody, which I found a very nice touch

Would just say : be prepared to be in a camping-style space: with basic facilities, mainly outside the dorm or even the building. The shared dorm is quite small for the number of beds and felt a bit cramped when full. I liked the fact that shoes are not allowed inside, but being in a beach island, it's impossible not to carry sand inside.. i'd suggest to leave some cleaning tools available for the guest to contribute keeping the place tidy. Maybe the bath mats could be changed a bit more often (going bare foot on the toilet and finding the floor always kinda wet or humid wasn't the best). However, those inconvieniencies would not retain me to stay again

Beds are comfy, facilities are very clean and equipment for cooking perfect. Lots of spaces for your stuffs in the dorm and good vibes.

Very nice, small place with a great atmosphere, which had a lot to do with how friendly and accomodating the people who work there are. Thanks guys :)

Probably the best value for money you can get in Holbox! i've stayed in the Dorm for around 6 days and it was amazing! yeah the roads in the islands were super muddy and flooded but once you learn where you should go and how it just becomes so much easier. The dorms are very clean and the AC is great! there are 2 kitchens in the place and they are both very well equipped with everything you need for a big or small meal. what i liked the most is the people! they are so friendly and nice and always helped with anything i needed. the location is great and is around 5-10 min walk from the beach and all of the bars and restaurants, thank you very much! can't wait to go back ☺️

Really nice owner, coffee in the morning and nice tents

This is how a hostel should be! I had an amazing time at this place and the staff made it even better!

Everything was perfect

Staff was really nice and friendly. The hostel room was really clean, nice and spacious. Both kitchens were clean and well equipped. Great location only a 5-10min walk from the beach!

There was too many people smoking all the time in the common outside area.

I loved staying at Kin; tent was comfy, everything was super clean, kitchen with your own cupboard & space in the fridge... and the campsite was great to meet people and relax. Karen and everyone working at the hostel were all lovely and welcoming - thank you!

Nothing

Free water refill Hammocks underneath the palm trees :) AC

Super friendly and helpful staff, the space is super clean always tidy and staff cleaning up all the time. Nice chill area , easy to meet nice people. Super kitchen fully equipped and functional. The tent was super comfy if you want some space and intimacy for a couple of days while backpacking. Would recommend 100% Plugs and light in the tent

Nothing

Location was close to beaches and central area.

The mosquitoes were horrible. Had to be covered in bug spray or eaten alive.
