When we arrived they did not have our reservation but there was room so no problem. The room itself is sparsely decorated but clean. The bed was so hard we thought we were sleeping on the box spring call Brideau, it was just just very old. No hot water. It got very cold at night and my wife and I huddled together under the single blanket and sheet and then if we weren’t miserable enough to the dogs started barking at 4am until 5am. Then to top it off we awoke to a knock on our door saying we had not paid enough ton check in and owed another $5USD. Never again. ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Juliette Feb 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dre authentique mais aucun service de chambre Cadre authentique mais service de chambre inexistant.

Le petit-déjeuner est complet mais en revanche le menu du dîner 4 tacos, 1 petite assiette de fruits découpés et du jus de Jamaïque est assez frugale. ##### Juliette Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Christel Jan 15, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Si vous voulez sortir des sentiers battus et être au plus proche de la nature, c'est ici qu'il faut venir...

This is a fantastic fairyland with "cabanas" in the form of the native huts found throughout the village and beyond here an Maya land. The grounds are meticulously maintained, with many flowering plant and butterflies everywhere. Each room has a bed(s) with mosquito netting in place. Things are rustic, but that adds to the charm. The only drawback was the bathroom. While the toilet worked well (no flushing toilet paper, por favor) the sink was minimal and the shower only a trickle with empty liquid soap dispensers. Aside from that, I would have rated it a "five". ##### william Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Leonardo Gonzalo Jul 12, 2019 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ser más pro-activos y mejorar los servicios.

Me acompañaron a la cabaña y se metieron a 2 cabañas ocupadas. Finalmente me dieron una cabaña libre (la de menor precio) siendo que yo pague la de mayor precio (para dos personas). Mi experiencia personal fue buena puesto que iba a descansar pero no recomendaría el lugar para que se llevaran sorpresas. Las sabanas estaban manchadas y los mosquiteros de las camas también. ##### Jorge Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carles, Barcelona Aug 27, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bad experience Hotel realmente malo. el sitio esta en un lugar remoto.

Muy mal mantenimiento. Piscina con algunos centímetros aqua verde sucia, no en funcionamiento. Basura en el ambiente. Mala atención del personal, dormiendo siempre. Habitaciones mal estado ... ##### Werner Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Entorno y cercanida a Ek-Balam nada mas Aunque Hoteles confirmo la reserva, y se realizo el pago, a la llegada no tenian constancia ni de la reserva ni del pago, tuvimos suerte de que no tenian ocupada ninguna habitacion y de que llevaba impreso la reserva y el pago, por lo que no hubo ningun problema, pero pudo haber sido un problema grave si no hubieran tenido disponibles habitaciones ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 21, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Cabanas near ruins and cenotes Overall, it was alright. Let me first clarify, I like roughing it a little bit. I was slightly disappointed that before arrival, no attempt to sweep bugs off the floor or remove them from the bed or mosquito net had been made. We stayed despite this. That being said, two backpackers checked in next door and immediately demanded a refund and left because their room was "bad" (in their words) - no idea what it looked like relative to ours. Anyways, it is the only place I've ever been where I slept on top of the bed. The villagers were nice. We had the problem that we spoke very broken Spanish. I do not recommend staying here if you do not speak Spanish well. No food was available at our hotel. We went to the hotel with the Italian restaurant for dinner - no one else was there. Also, slightly misleading posts about distance to the ruins. We rented bikes from the hotel. Very old, uncomfortable bikes for 100 pesos for two. It was a 10-15 minute bike ride to the site. Not a 5 minute walk as others have suggested. It was an experience. I'm glad we did it. Though I'm not sure I will personally do it again. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica, Grand Lake, Colorado, US Apr 13, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My Heaven The best time of our 11 day Yucatan vacation. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is beautiful jungle setting with parrots and stars. Friendly mayan staff who obviously care about their environment and stewards of their land. The day at the cenote was surreal. I'll be back to Ek Balam village. Wish I could stay forever. ##### Jessica ### 4/10 Poor #### Cristobal, Guadalajara Mar 30, 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### En la jungla El lugar poco descuidado, la alberca sin agua y éramos los únicos huéspedes, si la alberca tuviera agua y las regaderas con agua caliente al momento el lugar estaría fantastico ##### Cristobal ### 6/10 Okay #### nicolas, Claye Souilly Jan 1, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Bien mais quelques gros points dérangeants. Le site est beau et avec concept écologique. La piscine était vide quand nous y étions. Attention on a pas pu manger le soir sur place, et il n y a pas de supermarché ou restaurant dans la ville. Malgré cela le personnel ne nous a pas aidé à trouvé quelque chose à manger. Le personnel ne parle pas anglais.... Le petit déjeuner est en plus et nous l avis trouvé très cher pour des pancakes (80 pesos par personne). Immersion totale par contre au niveau du quartier. ##### nicolas ### 6/10 Okay #### Mike Jan 1, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not as Advertised but Worth the Stay While I would recommend Cabanas Ek Balam, it isn't what it seems from the ads. Our biggest problem was checking in. No English speaking staff and no record of our reservation (despite several e-mails to a staff member located somewhere else). They did get us checked into a cabana. Grounds are very nice. It is obvious they are trying to upgrade the facilities. But . . . there are almost none of the things in the listing: memory foam mattresses, rainfall shower heads, etc. No hot water in our unit. We enjoyed our stay and found it to be a very convenient base. ##### Mike ### 2/10 Terrible #### SEBASTIEN, Nantes Nov 24, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Deplorable L'hôtel fait du surbooking! Du coup même après avoir réservé et payé notre chambre en ligne un mois avant, en arrivant ils nous annoncent que l'hôtel est complet: sans même s'en excuser. Le type nous a amené à un autre hôtel: hotel "italien" complètement à l'abandon. Nous étions les seuls clients, et pour cause, on ne sait même pas si l'hôtel dispose encore d'une licence. Heureusement rien à payer pour cet hotel mais quand même...sans dédommagement ni explication avec un interlocuteur qui ricane en vous annonçant la chose. Pour manger au village il n'y a absolument rien! Attention... ##### SEBASTIEN ### 6/10 Okay #### tapon Mar 9, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness #### Close to the Mya village I expected to stay two nights, wespent just one... ##### tapon ### 10/10 Excellent #### FLA Dec 29, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un refugio en la selva Un "hotel" en la selva, muy cerca de Ek Balam y su hermoso cenote. Todo esta bien organizado, las habitaciones son casitas mayas con todos los servicios, la cena y el desayuno son muy buenos. Recomendable para familias, un pco facil pára "aventureros" pero tiene un espacio para acampar si sde requiere un lugar mas estoico. ##### FLA ### 6/10 Okay #### pdxagent Dec 22, 2012 Disliked: Room comfort #### Ek is minimalist Small cabanas with bath and fan. Bed is not very comfortable. Primitive, quiet, nice jungle surroundings. Must have transportation, taxi or car, or willing to walk in. Near the ruins. Restaurant serves odd hours only, 1:30 pm lunch, 7:30 pm dinner. Italian restaurant in town, food is OK for the price. Nothing else to do but rest, relax, and reflect. ##### pdxagent ### 8/10 Good #### Antonio Dec 4, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### La mejor opcion para visitar Ek Balam Si buscas confort probablemente no te vaya a gustar, pero si quieres desconectarte de la ciudad, es una excelente opcion, en lo personal recomiendo mucho este hotel, en medio de la jungla, muy aislado de todo, con unas noches estrelladas increibles ademas de la cercania a las ruinas, que te permite llegar antes que a los grupos de turistas ##### Antonio ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### delightful experience Fascinating eco-hotel run by the ejido of Ek Balam. Everyone very friendly. Cold water shower fine. The ejido is quite isolated, and we had been told a dinner was forthcoming, we discovered only mid evening that no food was available. The village's one restaurant was closed. Fortunately we carry a couple of days supplies. Evidently the hens laid eggs overnight, and breakfast was lovely. Nice hiking around the ejido. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Guelph](https://www.expedia.ca/Guelph-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d8237-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Condo Rentals Madeira Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Madeira-Beach-Condos.d8433-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Hotels.d8957.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Dockside Inn & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-The-Dockside-Inn-Restaurant.h12361417.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Kalispell](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitefish-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Kalispell.h41442.Hotel-Information) > > [Eco Tree Hotel Causeway Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Hong-Kong-Hotels-Eco-Tree-Hotel-Causeway-Bay.h29141946.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Brandon](https://www.expedia.ca/Brandon-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d3902-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Apartments.d178296-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [WorldMark Whistler - Cascade Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-WorldMark-Whistler-Cascade-Lodge.h21313868.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Burnaby Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Burnaby-Conference-Centre.h2755303.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Paris Charles de Gaulle](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-CitizenM-Paris-Charles-De-Gaulle.h8356829.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from South Burlington (BTV) to Atlanta (ATL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/btv/atl/burlington-to-atlanta) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ywg/vancouver-to-winnipeg) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/phx/bellingham-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Lapu-Lapu (CEB) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ceb/mnl/cebu-to-manila) > > [Flights from Phoenix (PHX) to Detroit (DTW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/phx/dtw/phoenix-to-detroit) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Gwangalli Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Gwangalli-Beach-Suyeong-gu.d6122742.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Florida Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Florida.d211.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Luxembourg](https://www.expedia.ca/Luxembourg.dx103)
