Didn’t feel lucky staying here
Overall poor hygiene. Breakfast was included but didn’t look appetising and flies buzzing round the fruit, hot cakes were cold and not covered up. The ‘cook’ wasn’t trained. our private room was basic- nowhere to put stuff except on floor, nowhere to hang towel in bathroom. Friend in dorm had bed bugs.

The staff are all really great! That are a lot of fun and just really make very laid back vibe. They love to party with the guests and make you feel at home. I was not expecting much from the pictures before I arrived, but was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. Don't get me wrong it is a cheap hostel so is not in the best condition, but it has a real charm about it and the staff make up for anything you might be disappointed about. I wasn't expecting AC in the dorm but sure enough they had it. The next time I travel to Tulum I definitely plan on staying at the Luck Traveler!

Equipe muito atenciosa.
Nosso primeiro quarto estava com problema no chuveiro, então nos trocaram de quarto, mas a cama era muito inferior a primeira.
Café da manhã bem fraco, mas o valor da estadia é bem em conta.

The hostel stated that it was all inclusive, but it wasn't. It was in the middle of nowhere, in an unsafe environment. There was no transportation into town in the evening. No gocery or restaurants in walking distance. Not everyone wants to ride a bike. Lanka was rude, and misrepresented the establishment. Raoul, also gave Expedia a hard time with contacting his business, so that I could eventually get my refund processed. I had trip insurance, and I am a gold member, so I knew I was going to get my refund. The only silver lining was Felipe. He heard about my dissatisfaction and offered to help. If it weren't for him, I would have had a miserable vacation. Do yourself a favor, pay a couple hundred dollars more, like I did, and stay in a nice hotel, closer to the center of town. You'll feel alot happier, and safer!

Me cobraron más que a mi amiga y no supieron decirme por qué? Las instalaciones no son buenas ya que no son iguales a las fotos, estaba fuera de servicio la mesa de sushi, el cine, el baño de la habitación en la cual nos quedamos, había un bicho como cucarachita en mi cama, no había luz en los pasillos, no hay gimnasio, lo único bueno fue que teníamos cervezas ilimitadas. No aguantamos y nos fuimos muy temprano, no nos duchamos por lo mismo. No lo recomendaría.

Large common and dining area, always enough space and seats for everyone, two bar set up means it doesn’t stay too noisy too late but also let’s you be social when you want to be. Great options for group excursions or to book with other tours for great prices - definitely recommend. The pool is not the greatest but would probably get used more just to quickly cool off- one word of preparation is that it’s a good idea to have your own supply of water just in case, one day it seemed delivery of water took a while and none was available for early risers (stores are nearby )

We did like the free tours they provide but that was about it. It is far from town so you have to walk quite a bit along the highway or take a colectivo. The place looks nothing like the pictures, it is really run down. I would not stay there again.

The hostel was great! Felt more like a retreat then a hostel. They had a beautiful Common area with a bar, waiting pool and a really nice, fresh, buffet 3 times a day. There was beautiful murals and greenery everywhere that made you feel like you were sitting in nature. Very relaxing. The only thing that was slightly bothersome was that there is a very limited staff and people were bringing bikes back broken. The owners were awesome and made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. They must work 100 hours a week each!

Premiere fois dans une auberge de jeunesse pour moi. Les chambres sont très moyennes, la première que nous avons eu avait une fuite avec de l’eau qui remontait par le sol, et la deuxième fuite au niveau du bac de douche. Les draps et serviettes ne sont pas impeccables. La nourriture est correcte mais servie froide... les cocktails sont très bons. Pour la propreté il ne faut clairement pas être à cheval.

Tout inclus, très bonne nourriture. Service courtois.
Activités prévus chaque jour par le personnel transport fournis, lunch et boisson.
Simple, conviviale, cet endroit a de quoi vous charmer.
Bien situé, proche de tout. Bicyclette fournis. Bref tout à la porter de la main.
Mention spéciale au personnel qui font de vos soirées un moments agréable et divertissant.
La cuisine est simple et satisfaisante. Vous vous sentirez comme a la maison. Quoi demander de plus. Ceux qui recherche du flafla et bien dirigez vous vers un resort 5 étoiles. Ici c'est la simplicité de bon goût.

For a hostel, it is decent enough. I wanted a private room for myself and their private en-suite option can sleep 3 people (1 full sized bed and a twin). The room was just okay - The private is good value if traveling in a group of 2 or 3 and splitting the cost but not that great if you are solo and just want your own room.
They make you give them your passport to hold during your stay which I didn’t like, and didn’t see the reason for doing. I’ve stayed at countless hostels and hotels over the years and have not had to hand over my passport before.

A commencer par le concept unique d’offrir une formule tout inclus dans un auberge jeunesse, aucuns endroits au monde n’existent comme celui ci. Séjourner en auberge jeunesse à mon avis est une expérience enrichissante et différente en soit mais l’endroit ce démarque par toute l’attention que chacun y apporte à ça façon. Même les excursions sont comprises avec seul le prix d’entrée doit être déboursé à prix plus que modique (maximum 10$)
Le menus est varié, les adeptes de sushis seront ravies. Les cocktails sont à volonté mais surtout ce qui fait de cet endroit un lieu où l’on ce sent presque chez soi a peine entrée revient à cette belle équipe tissée serrée!

First of all, its a hostel. That being said, its an awesome place to meet people and enjoy free beers, shots, and drinks. AC in all the rooms, and the dorms are quite ok. A small curtain for some privacy, and well the bathrooms are hostel bathrooms, but they do work perfectly. The staff and owners are working on making the hostel better and better each day, so in the morning at like 8-9am, theres gonna be some small construction noise. But the location is perfect if you have a car, and if you don’t, just hire a free bike from the hostel and it will bring you everywhere! Enjoy!

I really enjoyed the all-inclusive factor. Food was always good, especially the sushi. Drinks are great and the bartenders are very entertaining. Rooms are nice and clean and all have A/C. Staff are very kind and fun (they even organized a hostel group trip to a cenote), and the free bikes rentals are awesome. The property is very close to the ruins and the beach, which is great, and an ADO bus station.

Amazing!
I loved staying here! It was my very first hostel experience so now my standards are super high. It was beautiful and in a perfect location in Tulum, 10 mns walk from the Tulum ruins. Rooms were also great, strong AC (seriously I was so cold lol), each bed came with curtains and bathroom was really clean. Just bring your own hand soap. We get a bike to go around, plus food and drinks are also included all day long which was super great because it was free so you can save so much money on food during your trip. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but when I stayed there were a bunch of other travelers as well and we all ended up hanging out and partying all night long. If you wanna meet other travelers and people on the road, then definitely stay here! The staff is so friendly, and they organize tours each day. I only got to go to one of them which was to visit a beautiful beach about 20 minutes away to which they brought along drinks and sandwiches for us. Seriously, great value for your money!

Muito caro para o que REALMENTE é!
Enganados pelo "All inclusive" e pelas fotografias do site.
Esperávamos algo mais organizado e com outras condições.
Os funcionários tinham falta de experiência, não sabiam receber nem deixar as pessoas à vontade. Quando chegamos pareciam não estar a contar connosco. No check-in pediram para ficar com os nossos passaportes mas recusamos pois não nos pareceu apropriado.
Os espaços comuns eram grandes, com algumas mesas, sofás e cadeiras, onde serviam as refeições.
Os quartos e casas de banho são o pior do hostel. Têm bastante humidade nas paredes e tetos. Pouca qualidade nos materiais e mobílias utilizadas, sobretudo nos colchões que são terríveis. Os lençóis e toalhas, felizmente, pareciam lavados pelos cheiro a lixívia, mas tinham manchas de uso.
Durante todo o dia e noite havia música a tocar. Por duas noites foi impossível adormecer cedo.
Tratando-se de um hostel é normal o ambiente mais relaxado e de festa. Mas há mínimos que devem ser cumpridos.
O pequeno almoço e refeições são boas, mas limitadas.
Durante o horário de jantar os alimentos esgotavam com facilidade e os funcionários não avisavam e serviram o que existia na cozinha. Isto não é um tudo incluído
As bicicletas são uma ajuda preciosa porque o hostel fica distante do centro e da praia e facilmente lá chegamos.
Preço do hostel muito caro para as condições e vivências destes 4 dias em tulum.

¡Un all inclusive que incluía más de lo esperado!
Estábamos frente a las ruinas, nos podiamos mover fácilmente en bicicleta las cuáles nos las prestaban ahi mismo, diariamente hacían tours a lugares hermosos y podíamos comer y beber cuanto quisieramos todo sin costo alguno, el personal muy amable e hicieron de nuestra estancia un viaje perfecto!!!
