    We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Mapache Hostel. It’s a super cute Hostel, with restaurants, bars and the beach near by, but also quiet in the night to have a good sleep and a common area to meet other backpackers. We had the tipi, which was...

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.
