    I loved how close it was to the beach and the bars. The tipis are also super cute. The water pressure in the shower was incredible and the breakfast was also great. The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We rented our bikes...

Hi my name is Delphine and I am originally from Switzerland. I have been living on Holbox for a couple of years and am running Mapache Hostel and a couple of other Airbnbs on the island. A passionate traveller and backpacker myself I have travelled around the world for all of my life. After my hospitality management studies in Switzerland I have finally settled in Mexico to fulfil my dream to show travellers the very best this island and magnificent country has to offer.
The hostel is perfectly located both a short walk away from the beach and the main square but far enough to avoid the noise of the bars at night.
