    Great value for money hotel for your stay at Mazunte.

    There is no AC and the ceiling-mounted fan is either OFF or 100% ON, which makes a awful lot of noise. The mattress is old and shrunken in some places, which makes it not so confortable.

    Great location, next to the main road and a few meters away from the entrance of the main street leading to the beach. Great staff, very considerate and friendly. The rooms are very clean.

    The rooms were very hot, even with the fan, it was too hot for two people The beds weren’t overly comfortable- would be better with some new pillows! There were lots of ants and we did have a scorpion one night in our room, although I don’t think this is common!

    Location is amazing - less than 5 mins to Mazunte beaches, 15-20 min walk to San Augustillo. The staff were friendly, offered to change our sheets free of charge Very quiet place, lots of seating outdoors and on balconies Nice to have a private bedroom and bathroom for the price of a hostel elsewhere

    our room was facing the main road and it was so loud that it was impossible to sleep. I was not feeling well, and asked to change a room and even though they had free rooms they refused

    It was a small, basic room but it has everything that you need.

    Clean, basic place to stay. We had a nice hammock outside our room. The bed was okay not the most comfortable. It was nice to have a private bathroom even if it was small. The staff were nice and helpful when we asked for towels. Really good location. Very reasonable price for what you get.

    It was very very basic, a bit grubby and too hot for me (although there was a fan). The mattress had sunk on one side of the bed. There were lots of broken banisters

    Great location and the accommodation does what it says on the tin. The staff seemed a little disorganized when we arrived but were friendly and provided wifi

    Check in included one key for 4 people, mind you, you can get into the room even without the key, because the balcony is accessible from other rooms - and the door to the balcony doesn't lock, and has holes in the mosquito net so it's useless. Only one place for power outlets in the entire room. No closest, wardrobe, or drawers to put personal items on, just a single square table with 2 chairs next to the outlets Only one lightblub for the entire room, the other one was burned out. Beds have terrible mattresses, one on top of the other, making the sleep experience very uncomfortable. No AC, which makes the 2 fans on the wall the only saving grace - it gets unbearably hot during the nights, most of us had trouble sleeping. The water stream in the shower is very weak, one temp only. The toilet has no seat or cover, and the back compartment is covered with cardboard The sink is cracked, probably has been broken before and glued together, making it feel like it's going to fall apart every time we used it. Looks nothing like the pictures, only one small bin in the bathroom and no place to dispose of trash otherwise. The room is exposed to the street so from the early morning expect loud noises coming from vehicles nearby. Owners and staff: At check in, they gave us a hard time, not letting us put personal items and bags in their lobby / store to stow away, same during check out - just saying "check out is check out". During our stay, they kept asking us to move our motorcycle to different parking spots, claiming we're going to get a ticket - for the same places they initially told us to park in. Very rude in general, horrible experience.

    Convenient location and close to the center of the town.

    They are scammers. We wanted to stay for 4 nights however wasn't sure about the last night. We waited for the head accountant to ask her. She told us that if we pay by cash we would get the money back if we wanted to leave a day early. The third day came, we went down in the morning and were confronted with pure denial and stubbornness. They started to lie and told us that that isn’t possible. I told them that it’s not right for the clients to pay for their mistake. Nothing could get them to admit their mistake. At the end, we left without any refund. One of the other office worker insulted my partner in Spanish “she yaps and doesn’t shut the fuck up” which she said assuming that I didn’t understand. On top of that, the room next to the road is unbearable to sleep in. Trucks are so loud they shook the old raggedy mattresses. In our first room there was rat feces on the bed. The toilet was missing a seat. Shower doesn't have warm water even though we were promised about it. The fan so loud so it was a choice between that or the heat, either of which lead to bad sleep. Look, my partner and I backpacked through Mexico for two months. We slept in rotting palapas, hostels with black mold, and apartments with no water to flush the toilet for a couple of days. However I warn everybody who reads this because it was their lack of respect and responsibility that made us so frustrated with this place. The money is not worth the place and no money is worth the lack of integrity from the workers.

    Nothing.

    The first room we received had horrible beds and the room was stuffy but we were very happy with the effort made by Marcelino to find a solution to have better beds so we could sleep since the first night we only slept a couple of hours. We couldn't work if we couldn't sleep so glad there was an option to change.

    Marcelino. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable so we could enjoy our stay to the maximum. He has the right attitude for tourism and was a true caballero for those who are understanding, respectful, and kind. We very much appreciated his attention and courtesy. Location. Very convenient being close to everything.
