Reviews of Mayan Bungalow Near Chichén

This was a wonderful experience being able to stay in a small rural village. The first impression is of a beautiful garden with lots of trees and birds. Luis was a great host so helpful and informative. Both about the birds and plants in the garden and places to see things to do in the area. His recommendation to be at Chichen Itza by 8am was a good one, it was so quiet at that time. Breakfast was amazing, each day something different. The room is simple but totally in keeping with the experience.

Luis and his family were such an amazing hosts. Luis property was excellent. We had a choice of Mayan room with traditional roof and authentic outside bathroom or normal room with inside bathroom. Both rooms were air conditioned. The property boasted fruit trees and there were an abundance of bird sounds. Luis got a big box of Lego out for our 5 year old son to play with and offered him many books to read. Luis and his wife made us the best breakfast made using his own ingredients. We had fresh fruit with yoghurt and nuts, freshly made croissants and cinnamon rolls and the greatest scrambled eggs mixed with Mayan Spinach which is grown in their garden. Lovely coffee too. The property is located on 5 minutes from Chinchen Itzá and is incredible value for money. I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled to write this as it was a brilliant nights stay, we were well looked after and it was five minutes from Chichen Itza so we could get there for 8am opening and avoid the crowds and heat.

Louis ist a perfect host. Excellent Breakfast and very good advices for our visit at Chichén Itzá.

Great host and simple but pleasant bungalow in a garden. The surrounding part of the village looks a bit shabby but the garden is a nice oasis. Great breakfast.

A beautiful calm oasis garden with delicious breakfast and the best and most helpful hosts. Luis is very generous and knowledgeable about the area.

We liked being in a small village. Our host was exceptional as was the breakfast. Enjoyed the early morning breakfast while chatting with the host family. Excellent bird watching.

Bungalows were modest but comfortable. They were just as we expected.

Luis has been the best host- amazing breakfasts with home made bread & butter, Mayan breakfast specialities, local honey & fruits we never even heard of. He helped us book a guide for our visit too! Best place to stay- highly recommend!

Located in small village, not close to main road, so no noise from cars. The are some local cafes to had dinner. Breakfast was the best we had in Mexico, coffee also was good. Room was big and comfortable. Good shower. Owner is great, helps You with advice what to see and how to get.

Nothing.

Luis the owner is an excellent host and made us feel at home. His place is lovely and the location is excellent, close to Chichen Itza yet far enough away to be quiet and not touristy. The local restaurant is excellent and the town very safe. Luis provided the best breakfast I've ever had.

Large room in à beautiful garden - in à village 8 km from Chichen Itza

Nice owner and very personal athmosphere. Breakfast was very good with local products. Location is 10 minutes by car from Chichen Itza in a small town which is very quiet.

Everything was perfect.

I would like to share my experience, because I don't want anyone to be fool like i was. The owner built 2 rooms in the back of his house, they look more like outhouse than rooms, he calls them bungalows THEY ARE NOT. His house is located in a really bad area, with trash everywhere, no place to park, dirty and unsafe. Loose dogs everywhere. No signs indicating the house. Took us 40 minutes to find it. He tries to justify the horrible place by saying that it's in the middle of the jungle. Is not. It's located in a residential area. We decided not to stay because we felt unsafe, i was charged $150.00 for one night a total ripped off. We decided to go to a real, decent clean hotel named Ik Kil with real bungalows, beautiful area with access to the Cenote for free. Great service and food. Booking refused to refund any money, I would never book or use Booking for anything again, they are not going to protect you at all. Hard to believe that Booking even offers a place like this. I wouldn't stay at this place even if it was for free.

Luis is an exceptional host. While fairly basic conditions, the room is air-conditioned + a standing fan can be used. The bed is very comfy and the lighting is good. The detached shower and toilet are reached by going outside, only a few steps away. The surrounding lush garden is filled with birds. Breakfast was excellent: fresh fruit, bread, yogurt + granola, we had tacos with cochinita pibil, and freshly squeezed juice. Close to Chi’chen Itza. Good restaurant in the village with very friendly staff within easy walking distance.

You may hear some barking dogs from the neighbors, but they didn’t interfere with our sleep.

Staff was amazing. Very kind We got good information about the area. The place is in the middle of nature. The breakfast was very good. One room has bathroom inside, but the other room has the bathroom outside.

Luis (and his family) are kind and welcoming. He has so many great suggestions about how to see the most in your time there. Breakfast is delicious, and it is so close to Chichen Itza.

Luis was an amazing host!

Host was superb. Breakfast was fantastic. Environement around the bungalow is filled with plants. If you want a relaxed non-turistic experience, go here.

All good.

By far the best breakfast we had in Yucatán. Host Luis and his family are incredibly friendly. He is very helpful with all kind of information. Authentic mayan bungalows in a lush garden.

Very kind host (mr. Luis) and could give us all the information we needed. Beautiful garden with fruittrees, birds , squirrels and nice lodges. We stayed in the one with the internal rest-/bathroom. We loved.the breakfast with bread , yoghurt ,fresh fruit and granola. Chichen itza 15 min drive. Lots of chenotes on route.

In the village self is not much to do, but we came to relax and visit the chichen itza Almost around the corner. :)

The bungalow is in a small, very cute garden, with fruit trees, a little pond, tropical birds come to visit. The hosts live opposite and take care of you extremely well. The breakfast was fresh, very tasty and copious. It is in a village with a nice little restaurant and bakery. A great option to visit Chitchen Itza from.

The address on Booking.com was not the one to use for directions - check with the host before navigating.

We spent just one night in here and loved every minute off it. The garden the sounds of the jungle!! Wow just fantastic except the ROOSTER Hahaha. Our Mayan bungalow was perfect. Lois our host was really friendly and we enjoy chatting to him and finding out more about the area. Before we leave he prepared for us wonderful breakfast and it was exquisite. Lois you really enriched our stay and we wished we could have stayed longer. This is authentic gem of a place. Thank you and I hope we see you again. M.Zofia and Phil

Rooster !!he would end up in chicken soup hahaha

Luis was an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with home grown fruits.

If there were no Google maps, it would be very hard to find the bungalow in the neighborhood. I might miss it due to the dark but I haven't seen any sign.

Nice rooms, very near Chichén Itzá. Luis was super nice and helpful, and the breakfast was great!

The host is exceptional. Extremely nice and knowledgeable; we learned a lot just by chatting with him. He gave us an awesome breakfast in the morning; one of the best I’ve ever had (and I am quite the breakfast connoisseur). 😅

You are in the middle of the jungle, so there are animal noises and bugs. It didn’t bother us because we figured it would be like that, but just be aware if that is something you don’t want to put up with.

Very nice and clean, host is super friendly, you feel like you’re visiting a friend or a family member.
