Buena Onda - 70934 Puerto Escondido

Love this place! Matthias keeps the place cool, organized and full of good vibes. Atmosphere is great, high energy, all around visually beautiful and super clean! Only a light issue with sewage would bother us a little bit sometimes while we were staying in our cabaña, apart from that everything is AWESOME)

literally on the beach amazingly cheap price, also for the private rooms (cabanas) friendly staff you can also put your tent on the beach .. or just sleep in the hammock and here the ocean waves crashing a few meters in front of you

Beautiful space with great vibes! The owners and crew are really friendly and the space is cleaned daily. A lot of effort has gone to the plants and overall beauty, and it shows! Camping is a good cheap option for the area, and they have tents that you can use... Although the tents owned by the hostel are in really rough shape, so if you can bring your own. We struggled with not getting enough sleep because the camping is right next to the common area. People staying up late and then being woken up early as the beer bottles were noisily cleaned up by the staff. But! We loved everything else about it and were sad to leave. We will come back again!

The only way to fall asleep here is to blackout because the dorms are a sauna. Took 4 showers throughout the night but couldnt conquer the heat. Additionally the mosquito nets have tons of holes so you're in for the longest night of your life. Advice to the hostel would me to give every bed a fan and to drain this mosquito breeding pond. Was never so happy to leave a hostel. Glad I only booked for one day.

I was here at 2011 and it was the best place to stay in puerto escondido. Stayed here 1 month! Miss it so much ?

My first experience of a hostel and it was an amazing experience. I stayed in Cabaña 6 with my hubby: The bed is firm, which we liked. The pillows are quite flat, which I didn't like but - it isn't the end of the world. The room is very simple, ours came with a fan which was perfect for us. The shared bathroom/ showers were cleaned regularly which made staying in a hostel much easier. (Only downside is 9 times out of 10 you can overhear multiple voices in the next cubicle having some adult fun - I assume they were playing an intense game of chess) Staff are friendly and helpful, they are super accommodating. I travel with medication that needs refrigerating and they kept it in their staff fridge for the duration of our stay. Bug-wise the mosquitoes only tend to get really bad at night (which is typically the case) so the mosquito net around the bed comes in handy. I also encountered 2 cockroaches at two separate points during our stay, each encounter in our room and equally horrifying. Minus 1 star because my pet peeve in life is when places advertise that they have WiFi but it doesn't actually work. Also the bathrooms are cleaner than the kitchen... if you want to actually use the kitchen you may struggle ?‍♀️ Overall I would recommend Buena Onda and would stay here again if I were in the area. The fact that you're literally on the beach makes this 100% worth the stay.

This place is just brilliant! The location at the beach at Punta Zicatela and the cute bungalows are one thing, but the big difference to many places I have been are the people! A huge mix of travelers from all over the world, mixed with Mexicans remote-working from here and people on vacations combined with the friendly and helpful staff (thanks Pierre!) made me feel very welcome during my three nights here ?! Thanks for the good time, I'll be back!

Nice location and cute “cabañas”, which unfortunately get very warm in the night. The dorms look tiny though.
