Hostal Bucerias

Pleasure to stay there ?

The location is very convenient. Shot way to the beach and to the supermarket and bus stops. The common area is comfy and not noisy. The shower is good. Friendly staff. WiFi works well. The dorm room was a bit small. Not all the beds were booked, so I got lucky, but if its fully booked, it would have been a bit tight to put your stuff anywhere etc.

Great value for the price. Onsite restaurant and good parking available.

To be expected but loud because of proximity to road.

Road noise

great location, great staff, super clean bathroom, and room. I really appreciated this hostel because it had everything you wanted in a hostel - kitchen, clean bathroom, handsoap, clean toilets, safe lockers, AC at night, and some socialness. I would stay there again. There was a person in the room who looked like they had FULLY MOVED IN with poor hygiene. Obviously this can’t be controlled by the hostel but made our stay way less comfortable since it’s quite a small dorm room. The staff is also extremely strict about their rules. No refunds under any conditions (fair), the AC (no matter how hot) comes on at 10 and turns off immediately at 8. There are no exceptions (fair). There were just some elements that made it less comfortable and could make it more comfortable

That the air conditioner was limited to only durangueño the sleep times ( only durangueño the evenings )..

Clean newer buildings with a Fabulous Restaurant And Bar in the Backyard. Attracting visitors & Guests from the surrounding areas. Noise from the Highway very close by

The meals were absolutely wonderful Less noise at night. The students ironing out side of the room were talking very loud. Some people snore like I have never heard before.

Good

Staff was friendly. A/C in room to drown out the highway noise a bit. Bed was comfortable. Shared room was so small , bunk beds overlapping. I opted to upgrade to single room. No sound proofing from traffic/ hallways.Very Loud! Lights from other rooms shine into mine. 12 people using 1 toilet. Ran out of water the first day, toilet paper the next. 95% rooms are for resort workers, not travelers. So fridges are full of their food and 2 tables are always full with them eating.( not blaming them) Green space is now a restaurant, so no where to sit / relax. Rooms are not like the pictures! I would not recommend this place.

It’s hard to think of something, nothing lol The place is not tourist friendly, be careful when you book because they won’t allow you to reserve unless you pay the whole amount, why because when you see the place it’s nothing like the in the pictures, no patio, barely has a common area and the dorms are packed with workers personal items. The admin of the place is just a grabbing money machine, stay away!

This place is for sure a scam and not at all what is advertised. I actually did not stay at all because I felt very uncomfortable as a single woman travelling alone. Once I saw the room, I decided it was safer to stay elsewhere. The place looks nothing like the pictures on the website and is falsely advertised. I would expect to be reimbursed by booking.com because I read the reviews and was pulled into a false sense of security through the photos and very carefully place reviews. The google reviews tell the true story. There is a reason this place is no refund. I would NOT recommend booking here. I actually would avoid booking with booking.com at all in the future. Expedia has never let me down. Literally everything. It looks nothing like the pictures and actually the hotel doesn't even look like a hotel from the outside. There is little to no security. The rooms are really run down and look like a prison cell. T here is no outdoor space as shown in the pictures. I was charged 70 dollars Canadian for this room and was shocked by what I received. I looked at the room, and immediately returned my key and left because I got such bad vibes from this place. It's really creepy and does not feel like a safe place to stay. I wish I had more photos because it's truly bizarre. Shoutout to the OXXO staff nearby, and the taxi stand that helped me get back to Sayulita.

The staff. That there is a kitchen. The café bar next door. The bed was comfortable. Sheets were better than most, as far as the material goes. The location is a short walk to the beach. There was hot water for showers. All female dorm room. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Cigarettes smell in bathrooms and outside of bathrooms. The refrigerator has too much food. And some of it smelled spoiled. Bathrooms need a shelf to put a toiletry bag on. And hooks for clothes would be helpful . Traffic noise..

Not much, only friendly staff. This place is the house for workers, not for tourist, dorms are filled with lots of stuff and personal items since they’re living there, no lower bunk beds available because of this, they lied about the common area use, you can’t be in the patio, is owned by a third party restaurant, bathrooms always dirty (se e pictures) loud noise from the restaurant at times at night when you want to sleep, BE CAREFUL they take pictures of your documents when you check in, only hostal where I’ve seen this. The booking system is designed for no cancellation or date changes and they will charge your card the next day (money grabbing tactic) Stay way from this place if you ask me

I think this was my fourth stay! Need I say more! Always good vibes : )

This was my second stay and I noted several changes after two years. The most important was a number of different dorm rooms having been added so I was in a less crowded room and on the top floor - which was nice especially for the balcony view facing the ocean. Initially there was ample hot water, but then it was harder to come by when more people arrived (or started using more water?). It's a lot quieter in the evenings as the bar in back has changed to a restaurant and bar and doesn't have live music too late. The kitchen has plenty of cooking/serving ware and there's lots of fridge space - as well as a microwave. Clean/Filtered water is also provided, which is a bonus. Friendly and helpful staff - and generally very clean. Good wifi. Lockers provided in the hallways, but bring your own padlock. No other international travelers this time around. This might have to do with the time of year, but there were a lot during my prior stay. Would definitely recommend as an economical stay with an extremely convenient location for Bucerias or hopping on a bus for a day trip. It could be helpful to have more porcelain or glass plates/bowls (as most are plastic), but I understand concerns about breakage.

Bar next door Staff were friendly Owner, not friendly Inconsiderate roommates - turn full on, bright lights at 2 and 3 am, singing, music is room with people sleeping

Very good

Good shower. Easy access. Plenty of parking
