Pros:

A localização é muito boa. A equipe é toda simpatia

Cons:

A cozinha só pode usar das 10:00 às 9:00. Geralmente, saímos cedo e voltamos tarde: praticamente impossilita uso da cozinha. As facas estavam todas cegas: não cortava nem uma tomate. O café da manhã começa às 7:30: se tiver muita gente, demora pra ser atendido. O hostel não disponibiliza um espaço pra lavar você mesmo sua roupa. Vc chega e quer lavar uma bermuda e uma camiseta: não pode. Outro item é vc ter que usar uma pulseira de identificação do Hostel durante toda hospedagem. Se a questão é pra facilitar a identificação do hóspede, incomoda esse mesmo hóspede. Sobre a questão de segurança, muitas vezes, eu cheguei e a porta estava destravada. Tirando esses aspectos, foi legal a hospedagem.

Great Vibe, Friendly Staff & Perfect for Social Travelers
Pros:

This is my second time staying at Maui Hostel, and I’d definitely come back again.
The highlights are the really friendly staff, the social events, and the rooftop pool area – it’s a great place to hang out and meet people.
Breakfast is simple but nice, and the rooms are clean and functional.
Overall: Great value for money and a good, social place to stay in Playa del Carmen

Mucho que desear
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

En todo mi hospedaje (5 noches) no hubo agua caliente en la ducha de la habitación, y despues muy corta la franja horaria del desayuno hasta las 9.30 siendo que si ibas a las 9 no reponian el cafe, y no tenias opciones de desayuno solo dos waffles, y la atencion no era muy buena.
Y camas muy precarias

Não voltaria a me hospedar
Pros:

Localização excelente bem próximo à 5a avenida. O ambiente é limpo e organizado.

Cons:

Tinha horário pra ligar e desligar o ar condicionado. Cheguei cansada e queria descansar, mas o ar só era ligado às 22 e tava muito calor. O café da manhã não é bom,
Só tem 2 opções e demora muito ( se tiver passeio, não dá pra tomar café no hostel) tem q estar ligado junto. No ultimo dia q estive lá faltou água. A cozinha dentro do quarto não é legal pq fica o cheiro de comida dentro do quarto e sem falar q como o ar só liga às 22, o quarto fica com cheiro e quente.
