Overall Ratings & Reviews Mayan Monkey Tulum | Social Hotel

I had a lovely stay at Mayan Monkey Tulum! The breakfast was generous, fresh and always delicious, which was such a great way to start each day. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I’d especially like to thank Emmanuel, who kindly moved me to a quieter room when I asked – I really appreciated the care and quick response. As expected from a hostel, there’s a lively atmosphere with music and a DJ in the evenings (usually until midnight), but it was never a problem for me. It’s all part of the fun vibe, and the bar staff were always smiling and welcoming. What stood out to me most was how personal the experience felt. I was only there for five nights, but many of the staff remembered my name and even my breakfast order – a small gesture that made a big impact. They also offered free guacamole and margarita classes, which were a fun bonus. My private room genuinely felt more like a hotel than a hostel – clean, stylish, and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation. The location is central, and they offer bike rentals and paid excursions, which makes exploring Tulum really easy. I would absolutely recommend Mayan Monkey to anyone visiting Tulum – whether you’re looking to meet new people or just enjoy a few days in a vibrant and welcoming space.

Beautiful! 😻

First off I will never stay in Tulum, Mexico again!! The federali police are everywhere!! You can’t even enjoy the beach in peace! The hostel is about 40 minutes away from the airport. Ride the bus its alot cheaper than a taxi or anything else! The bus is about $12 compared to the $50-$60 the taxis will try to charge you. You will catch the bus into town then catch a taxi from the bus station to the hostel which will be about another $12. The hostel has so many steps to climb with no elevators! I hated it! It is NOT disabled friendly! So if you have issues with walking I wouldn’t do it! I had to carry my luggage up and down leaving and coming. An absolute nightmare! I rented a scooter for a couple days to get around. They have tons of rental places to choose from so choose wisely! The beaches are far so you will need some form of transportation. But the beaches suck right now because they stink really bad because of the seaweed. They say this time of the year its like that. People will try to cheat you out your money if you don’t understand spanish or pesos so be aware! The hostel is mostly for a younger crowd. Book at your own risk! It is really clean! The housekeepers are wonderful!

Nice place perfect for solo travelers

I mean for the price this is a steal. The rooms were huge and clean. We really enjoyed the included breakfast. As well, the rooftop bar. They have different events and great music.

Great spot

Beautiful solo room that felt more like a hotel, but plenty of opportunities to make friends at the pool and bar. Some games and events at the bar to make friends. Restaurants nearby. Nightlife you do need cabs mostly. Bathroom was nicer than mine at home! Enjoyed my time. Would consider other Mayan Monkeys.

We had so much fun at the Mayan Monkey Tulum. Vibe and atmosphere were great and we met some new friends from all over the world. Will definitely be back!

First time staying in a hostel. I would definitely stay here again. The food was amazing and the vibes were were too!

My the padlock and locker that was provided to me from the hostel was tampered with and my room was broken into. I have filed a report with the hotel and I am requesting a full refund for my stay at this hostel due to the theft.

Staff were friendly and accomadating.

Good set up and clean and modern building

The hotel it self is ok but the rooms needs maintenance the sheets/towels were dingy I had mold in my bathroom on my last night there I ordered some wings from the bar they give me raw wings when I brought it to the bar manager attention he didn’t understand why I was mad about them giving me raw chicken I told him I wanted a refund he kept telling he couldn’t he would make them cook them over I explained to him I no longer wanted anything to eat from there he finally gave me a refund and because he thought I didn’t know how to count there currency he only give me back half of what I paid and I was scared to go back and forth with him I just took he made me feel very uncomfortable

Great location. Fun atmosphere.

Unique place. Very large room. Nice bar and fun entertainment at night. Close walk to other resturants and shopping.

Amazing staff, amazing bartenders (Luca and Miguel). I'll be staying again

The hostel is a really nice space although they play music way too loud so you can't talk to the person next to you

Awesome fun vibes, comfy beds, quiet enough, great club and music and free breakfast was awesome. Shared kitchen was handy but way too small for that many people and not near enough utensils. There should be 3 kitchens for that many people. Good value

Great place to stay especially if you are traveling alone. Very centrally located. Lots of fun things to do in the hostel itself. Rooms are good and spacious. Staff is really nice and welcoming. You will definitely enjoy your stay here.
