It's in the middle of nowhere, so is everything else in Cahuita. Bring a flashlight if you are walking to restaurants. The place is really pretty and interesting architecturally speaking. Bikes are a bit expensive compared to Puerto Vallarta.

Decent for the price and location
I wish I could give a better rating, but the room was so dark, grungy, musty and damp that I just can't. I suppose it's hard to keep things really clean in a jungle but I just constantly felt dirty there. Mattress and sheets were damp feeling, slight smell of mildew, bathroom floors were covered in straw mats that were secured to the floor which makes me wonder how well the floors could be cleaned. However, the grounds are lovely, loads of beautiful plants, and the area around is amazing. I saw sloths, toucans and monkeys just walking down the road.

Valoración Walaba Hostel
En este caso fue muy bonito la visita al lugar. Lo malo del sitio y no se si es un problema en general de la zona, es el agua. Cuando tomaba las duchas, el agua olía a escremento o aguas negras. Observé que el agua la obtienen de unos tanques. Lo demás bien, pero, alquiler de bicis muy caro ($10) cuando lo normal es a $5

Muy poco responsables.
Un día antes de hospedarme me llamaron del hotel para comunicarme que no tenían ninguna habitación disponible... a pesar de que yo ya había pagado la reservación. Me dijeron que lo único que podía hacer era quitar la reserva y que "me fuera así, sin reserva, que "por ahí encontraría una habitación en otro hotel". Me puse indignado. Traté de cancelar la reserva, pero me decían que perdería la totalidad del monto pagado. A fin de cuentas me llamaron del hotel y me dijeron que me habían conseguido habitación en otro hotel, pero tuve que pagar $30 más.
