Review 4：The wifi is not very good, except for in the kitchen.
Review 5：The breaksfast is really good, and different every day. Also, the showers on the roof are very nice, where you can look at the stars.
Review 6：Lots of mosquitos in the courtyard (where the common dining and kitchen spaces are. Also the wifi was poor when we stayed and non existent in the rooms
Review 7：Kitchen is amazingly well stocked, breakfast was great.
Review 8：We travelled in August and it got very hot at night.
Review 9：We stayed for 2 nights to visit the Cenotes and Chichen Itza both of which are easily accessible from Valladolid. The hostel is close to shops and ADO station with lovely rooms and bathrooms. The quality and cleanliness of the entire place were much better than we expected! Very frieldly staff and travellers. The best part is the oustside garden with fully fitted kitchen and hammocks to lie in an observe wildlife. Fully recommed that you stay at this hostel!
Review 10：The room in the night is very hot!
Review 11：The service (Claudia) was super sweet and helpfull! The place beautifull and near to the centre.. Wifi worked well and there are lockers (for example for checking out)! We would defenitly come back!
Review 12：Young couple travelling all over Mexico. This was our worst experience. No air-co makes this place unbearable, believe me! Top that off with stained towels, scorpion in our room and legs bitten by insects. Pay the extra to stay somewhere else!
Review 13：Breakfast good.
Review 14：Building is well-kept and shows attention to detail. Staff is friendly and helpful. A better than average breakfast is included in an already great price for dorm beds.
Review 15：we stayed in both a private room & a shared room. I would say that it gets pretty hot in a shared room but it's defintaly worth the money you pay!
Review 16：lovely staff & they're super helpful, the hostel itself is very central. it has 2 kitchen one inside & one outside which is pretty cool. wifi is available in common areas & it's very clean.
Review 17：The people who works here are the best, very nice and helpful. This was my first stop going around the Yucatan peninsula and it was a great beginning. I love all the beautiful and delicious fruit. Thank you!
Review 18：nothing! :-)
Review 19：the hostel itself, you feel like you re in a remote place, the garden is super great really simple, the staff were really helpful, they gave me a big smile every time I asked for an information.
Review 20：The dorm rooms were very hot, despite 3 fans in the room! It made it quite difficult to sleep
Review 21：I thought this hostel was excellent, a little retreat and a place you can kick back and relax a while. The staff were excellent, the place is very clean and tidy with all the resources that you need. Its sociable but you can also easily have time to yourself.
Review 22：Wondering about people who do their own dishes....hmmm. DIfferent styles: i.e. "simply rinse" or really clean.
Review 23：For a hostel, this place ranks in the top: beautiful, tropical surroundings in colorful setting. Super friendly staff - excellent, large breakfasts - scrambled eggs, as you wish them! Dorm style for the girls, separate from guys, or...rooms with two single beds for us friends. Felt at home...reading in the hammocks, with birds a chirpin'. Great advice for restaurants from guy at the desk. Easy to hang in the large plaza square and easy to make friends - to decide where to go next: Rio Largatos or a cool cenote?
Review 24：Dorm was small & very hot at night. Ensuite was always in use, but could use other outside Breakfast could get congested early. Had no change when I paid my bill, almost missed bus.
Review 25：Superb facilities, good breakfast & staff. Lots of interesting places to relax-indoors & out. Good info the places to visit.
Review 26：This was one of the best hostels I stayed in over a 4 months journey. Everything was great: There is a very beautiful garden with hammocks and tables. The breakfast is fantastic (eggs, cereals, fruits), the staff is absolutely friendly and helpful, and you only walk 5 minutes to the bus station. Absolutely recommendable!
Review 27：This hostel was, by far, the one we've stayed at in Mexico. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, our private room was really clean and cozy. The communal areas were well maintained. We highly recommend it!
Review 28：there are no windows at the top of the wall (only fly screen) so we could hear our noisy neighbours loud snoring and early risers chatting loudly early in the morning
Review 29：lovely place. friendly staff. we hired bikes from them and rode around the beautiful town and to some cenotes. the breakfast was yummy
Review 30：The staff was very friendly and helpful in recommending local restaurants and sights. Enjoyed meeting fellow travelers at breakfast, even someone from our home state!
Review 31：The hammocks! A nice little garden and great breakfast. Fruits, tasty bread rolls and cereal all available, just ask the lady at breakfast to make you eggs. Scrambled or omelette with a choice of fillings, delicious! Great location too.
Review 32：Breakfast not ready in time,not fun if you got early bus,not nice lady serving breakfast
Review 33：A nice lay out,showers outside,tables chairs,nice night receptionist in general nice hostel
Review 34：It's a cliché but the only complaint was that we had to leave. We will miss Tania, Claudia, Hero and the team. Vamos a volver!
Review 35：The building is beautiful and well laid out with amazing winding garden and plenty of space to mingle or hide away. I have never seen a cleaner hostel or one with a better breakfast. We booked for 2 nights and stayed 2 weeks - it attracts such cool people and the staff are incredible. Can't say enough good things.
Review 36：do not accept credit cards for room payment. Bike rental prices higher than two local bike shops
Review 37：Very good breakfast and well maintained grounds. A nice little oasis in Valladolid. Good shared bath facilities
Review 38：A little loud at night, since it is right on a plaza and there was some type of celebration while we were there. But, the "white noise" for our fan helped cancel out most of it.
Review 39：We were so pleased with our stay at Hostel Candelaria! The staff was so friendly and helpful, breakfast was amazing, coffee some of the best we've has in MX. Room was clean and we loved the garden, especially the hammock area. Good wifi reception in common areas. Location is a couple blocks from main plaza, and there were delicious, cheap eats within a block or two and a grocery store half a block away.
Review 40：Extremely helpful staff. Excellent location. Access to the two kitchens. Breakfast of bread, jam, fresh fruit and coffee, as well as eggs to order. Bicycles available for rent. Hostel Candelaria is charming: gorgeous gardens and colorful walls. Very clean.
Review 41：Just the shower upstairs not very good but not a big problem
Review 42：Good location, near bus station and colectivos and taxis to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam. Good breakfast and starts at 7 am so we can catch the early buses to Chichen Itza. If your bus leave late you can check out at 11 am and still keep your things stored and take a shower till 11 pm for just U$ 2,00 added.
Review 43：The facilities resemble those of the typical cabañas, so for those who are not comfortable with open-roof bathrooms and showers it may not be ideal, but they are clean and well kept! No air conditioning but ceiling fans.
Review 44：Perfect location to explore Valladolid, and friendly and knowledgeable staff kind enough to give you maps and insider's tips on what the city has to offer. Beautiful garden and common areas immersed in the green. Nice and relaxing! You can't beat that price!
Review 45：The owers and help are very friendly and helpfull. The price is below other hostels in the area. Low cool music always playing. Breakfast is plentiful and free. When you need something special they try to provide it. Good nice looking area. The ganden, planted 14 years ago, is perfect
Review 46：i had to ask for another fan on my first night as i was too hot to sleep, but luckily they were able to find one.
Review 47：It's a lovely place - the outdoor showers, the multiple communal areas, enough space for many people to cook at the same time, the satff are friendly and helpful, the location's great, and the garden's gorgeous.
