Host was very kind. Simple, clean room with all the facilities needed on-site.

We weren't able to stay longer.

Ara is a great host and has great tips on what to do and where to eat on Cozumel, snorkels and bikes can easily be rented from her

Ara was great host! She is just adorable, super friendly, making sure you’re feeling comfortable and that you have everything you need! She even sends a list with lots of recommendations in the area (food, things to do, etc.). The place is really nice and does feel like a little house, it is really cosy and it has everything you might need. 100% recommend!

Clean, comfortable, quiet, and with wonderful communicative hosts. The hostel is spotless (including the bathrooms), and I loved the garden, the location, and chatting with the other guests. Would highly recommend and stay again.

N/A - great stay!

We really liked our stay in Casa Samay! Ara is the best! The room was comfortable and the kitchen well equiped. And we loved the location!

Great place with a nice garden to have meals and chat with other guests or the hosts. The hostess was very kind and helpful. I definitely will stay if I go back to Cozumel!

nice hosts, very clean! we had a very good time and can recommend it!

nothing!

The host are lovely, and do everything in their power to accomodate you

I booked this hostel based on the good reviews, but as a solo traveller I felt it wasn't easy to make contact. There's only one dorm in the accommodation which hosted a girl who stayed for long term and another girl who wasn't social. Next to this it a bit far from the city center and to meet new people I would recommend another location.

Incredibly nice and helpful host, lovely and clean casa that's close to outstanding and affordable dining options (try K'ooben Laab and Los Moros del Morrito). I really hope I can return again soon!

The room faces the entrance/patio/street and it's quite noisy throughout the night (or early morning when people have breakfast or leave early). There's also a really weird lamp in the room that keeps blinking every few seconds when it's dark in the room. So bring earplugs and a sleep mask to sleep well.

That was a lovely stay! Hosts are so friendly, place is big and clean, it has literally all you need Thank you:)

Nice family owned Place. Ara and Diego really care for their guests and provide a lot of useful Tips where to go or where to eat. Hostel is in a quiet backstreet but in easy walking distance to everything. I really enjoyed my stay there.

All was great

I loved everything! Ara was absolutely wonderful and helpful and made my stay a heavenly experience. The house is really well located, a short 12-15 minute walk from the pier. It is one block from the main street where you can find great restaurants, money exchange, laundromat, groceries, etc. My room had airconditioning and was spacious and impeccably clean! The bed was comfortable and the house is in a quiet neighborhood so I slept soundly. The kitchen, fridge, stove and bathrooms were spotlessly clean. Everything in the house was loved and well looked after. Wifi was very strong. Hot water was available whenever you wanted it. There are bikes and scooters for rent if you need it. I enjoyed spending a couple of lazy afternoons sitting in the front entrance area and reading. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. I made friends with some wonderful ladies who were staying in the women's dorm room and the dorms looked very clean and very spacious. The photos are very accurate and represent the house exactly. Highly Highly Highly Recommended!!! I absolutely loved it here and will be back. Thank you Ara for everything!

Nothing bad to say. Everything was great.

Ara and Diego are the best. They created a little home from home. Everything is very clean, all that you need is there (even a little lock for your locker). Free drinking water. Great location, quiet area. Comfortable beds. Fans & airco in the room. Excellent wifi. I’m not a hostel person, but this has been the best due to how Ara & Diego run it.

The only thing for me are the bathrooms. Ara kept them very clean, it’s not that. To me personally the amount of people per bathroom is less comfortable. But again, that is a personal thing for me.

This is a wonderful clean home! The host are so lovely and helpful and they take much care to look after their guests! Good location, I would diffently return!

Nothing

Ara & Diego are wonderful & very kind. They’re frequently around checking in on everyone & keeping up the hostel. Diego helped me fix a bike a got & Ara’s alway a call away. 💕 The house is beautiful with nice common areas and is never to busy. Super safe, lots of locks on everything. Love it here.

The rooms are all furnished with a lot of love. Ada is incredibly friendly and helpful. The hostel prohibits bicycles and snorkeling equipment. The location is very central and quiet. And the kitchen is well equipped!

Owner Ara was super friendly and helpful during my stay. Food and dive shop recommendations are good, let me have a late check-out, even helped me to do a local money transfer! Forever grateful to her!

Everything was more than perfect and Ara is an angel. Definitely the best hostel in Yucatan ♥️

Ara is the best host with a big heart for everyone. She gave me a lot of tips for nice beaches and local restaurants and helped me with all my questions. The warm and welcoming atmosphere in the hostel made me extend my stay to one week instead of a few nights. Everything is clean, beds are comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. I will never forget my first week of my two month travel because Ara and all the people I met at Casa Samay made it unforgettable. When I have the chance I will definitely come back. <3 ¡muchas gracias por todo!

everything was great

the hosts, Ara and Diego were super friendly and helpful. we actually booked a tour from them (snorkeling the reefs and el cielo). We also rented bike from them and it was great.

Hosts were so lovely, great communication before arrival and were available when I had questions. Room was spacious, very clean. Shared bathrooms were also very clean. Recommend booking a aircon room (which hosts messaged me to advise after I had booked non-aircon one and very much appreciated it). Kitchen was great. Had great bikes to rent. Shopping centre and local restaurants nearby

Really caring stuff and friendly Everything is clean Really important to them that the people will be pleased

Lovely homely feeling Ara, Diego and Diana were all very helpful and made me feel at home Plenty of attention to details Kitchen is fully equipped It's just outside the busy main street, which for me was a positive note Highly recommended

Very clean house, big kitchen & sweet owners

it was perfect! I really enjoyed staying there. location is good, it’s only a 10min walk to the center and you can rent bicycles. there is a fully equipped kitchen and everything is very clean

I like everything in this property. Owner Ara was so helpful for everything and property was very clean.

cute environment with eye for detail, quiet location, owners seem very friendly and caring

entire place and rooms unfortunately very hot and somewhat bad ventilated even though the place was full of fans (we had two in the room). location is a bit off and bikes are needed to get around. bike rental offered for guests for 10eur a day seems expensive as we got a scooter for 20 a day.

It has a fully equipped kitchen and nice sitting area outside. Owners are super nice and they rent bikes for a very good price.

One of the best staying! :) It was really peacefull, nice and calm place. We were there and had a feel we are alone in whole areal. The pool was refreshing, the garden was a peace of jungle and bed very comfy. Only what we missed was a cooker in the kitchen. Thank you! :)
