Maka is a social youth hostel where I got in contact with cultures from here and all over the world. Included in the price is a delicious breakfast that you don't even have to prepare yourself. There's activities every single day that keep you busy. There's three different places upstairs to chill, connect and relax, with one of them being a bar that serves great drinks for a good price. The rooms themselves are large enough and every person gets their own locker. There's not a lot of natural light downstairs, which is perfect because it actually gets dark at night. The toilets and showers are clean, and there's hot water with good pressure, so you actually CAN take shorter showers. And, above all, the staff is always smiling, beautiful!

Favorite hostel I stayed in in Mexico ! Vibes are immaculate and I love the way the dorm is set up, each bed has privacy courtains on every side without making you feel enclosed at all. Breakfast is made fresh every morning ! Super cool Terrasse that even has a pretty affordable bar and great activities happening every day

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is one of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at. Such a social vibe with plenty of opportunities to meet new people and explore Oaxaca. It felt super safe and always very clean and the volunteers are the kindest humans ever!!
