ABOUT US

A simple,
social hostel

Searching for a place on the beautiful Lagoon in
Bacalar? Look no further!
The Yak Lake House is right on the water with an
amazing view that will make you never want to leave.
Come and spend some time in paradise! The facilities
include a private dock that stretches out into the
lagoon with a breathtaking view of the sunrise, a
wonderful bar and we are located right across the
lagoon from the infamous Pirate Cove! For those who
want to explore the lagoon, be sure to check out the
tours to Pirate Cove, the cenotes, and more!

The Yak Lake House is located right on the beautiful
lagoon and only 2 blocks from the famous St. Felipe
Fort Museum and city centre. While walking for less
than 5 minutes, you can find restaurants, markets, the
health centre, and artisan stands for jewellery and
souvenirs. We are located about a 15-minute walk
from the ADO bus station, which is situated just outside
of town on the highway.

The Yak Lake House offers comfortable
accommodation in both private rooms and shared
dorms, all with private bathrooms. Each room has
powerful fans and A/C to keep you cool at night. For
those who are not trying to completely disconnect in
relaxation-mode, we have Wi-Fi throughout the
premises.

Really nothing to complain about, felt like a hotel. The vibe is so good, they have great activities and nice parties but it’s not like a forced teenage party hostel. Nice yours starting from the hostel but also staying at the hostel and chilling on the deck is so good. The food is really good as well, loved the smoothie bowl. The staff is super friendly, especially the girls at the bar. And the best part is of course the view on the lake. Can only recommend, wish every hostel was this good.

La nourriture est bonne. L’ambiance est vraiment sympa. Le personnel est top. On peut louer des kayaks pour pas cher comparé à d’autres loueurs à côté et le laguna de los 7 colores est juste en face les soirées sont très sympas (certaines finissent tôt et d’autres tard) j’ai attrapé une très grosse tourista et l’hôtel nous a conseillé un très bon médecin.
