Tubo Tulum Hostel - Unique Stay

I really enjoyed my stay at Tubo Tulum, especially thanks to Richie, the manager. He is such a beautiful soul : incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely helpful. He gave me lots of great recommendations and tips that made my time in Tulum even better. And his coffee was honestly the best! The Tubo rooms are really cute and make for a fun and different experience. They are quite small, though, so I would recommend bringing a small bag rather than a big suitcase. The hostel also rents bikes, which was really convenient and made getting around Tulum much easier. Breakfast is quite simple, just toast, but there is a supermarket nearby where you can easily buy other food if you want more options.

A couple of things to keep in mind: towels are not included and need to be rented separately. Also, I found the air conditioning a little tricky, as it was either very cold or, once turned off, became quite warm

Really nice room with strong A/C. The common areas were really nice and kitchen well equipped. It was nice that they have complimentary coffee and toast in the morning. Everyone that worked there was really kind and helpful.

Very friendly staff! They were exceptionally helpful with recommendations. Unique rooms. It was nice to have some privacy with hostel prices. The location was great for accessing so many things. It's a small hostel but all other guests were friendly and happy to chat in the common spaces.

Mosquitoes!!! So many it was uncomfortable to hang out outside of the tube. The mosquitoes were many in the bathrooms making showers a hasty affair. And facilities were a bit more run down than the photos on the website.

The hostel is actually OK, I would have given it a higher score, but...

...but the owner is so rude, even offensive. She communicated with us quite aggressively about minor things. I can not believe that a hostel owner can do that to her guests.
