HOWEVER you have plenty of dogs barking all night + nerver-sleeping roosters. So if noises such as these bother you, find another hotel. But it's a pity because the property is really charming.

It's a very nice hotel located outside of the main street. They also have a small restaurant which serves a superb breakfast as well as diner (don't expect much choice but the best quality around).

The rooster at 4.30 o‘clock to wake up everybody!

They prepared fresh sandwiches for six o‘ clock in the morning to take on our tour to Calakmul - great service!

Our experience at this hotel was better than expected. We had a smooth check-in despite arriving late, and found clean & comfortable rooms. We didn’t try out the restaurant so cannot say if the food/variety is any good.

Convenient location in the center of Xpujil 15mins by foot from the ADO (long distance national bus service) station. Clean, comfortable hotel rooms with staff on standby at reception and a small, efficient restaurant. Hotel rooms are nicely equipped and the hotel is a perfect overnight destination on the way to the Calakmul biosphere reserve and archaeological zone

Good hotel to stay in when visiting calakmul. Clean & comfortable.

When we arrived they wanted an extra fee (200 Pesos) which we couldn't see in Booking. The blanket on the bed was not clean.

Air condition was working. They stored our luggage during the day.

The hotel is a bit old styled but when reserving you know what you’re putting yourself up to.

Comfortable stop to visit Calakmul. Good value for money. If you’re not looking for something too fancy you’ll find a nice property with clean rooms and fresh sheets. There’s a restaurant serving till 10 pm, so we managed to dine even arriving late. They texted me I should pay cash upon arrival, but then the credit card worked fine.

The water pressure was a challenge and so was getting hot water. Due to the ongoing construction of the Maya Train, the construction noise and dust was terrible but that is not the hotel’s fault.

The property has an ideal location for exploring Calakmul. It’s at a midway point. The rooms are simple but functional. While it states that there is no WiFi it actually offers it. There is a breakfast option as well.

The air conditioner would randomly stop working

The room was clean and the staff was friendly.

Beds are uncomfortable, seems the mattresses are very old and worn. Restaurant personnel was a bit lunatic. There were several power and water outages but these seem to be an issue for the entire town in general.

Place is clean, well run, room was spacious

Everything's allright.

As of today, there are not many hotels within 1h distance of the entrance to the archaeological site of Calakmul. Hotel Maya Balam deserves a visit, nice, spacy rooms, all the comfort you need and even a restaurant on site.

Nothing to complain, while we were there their satellite company was trying to fix tv reception, not very successful and stable, but then, who needs tv in that place with so much to see.

One of the closest hotels and villages to Calakmul, which is how we found the place to stay, still about 1 hour drive to the entrance at night. Xpujil has their own little archeological site and Becan is close by as well. In the village you find some shops, bakeries and taquerias. Try to go by the furniture manufacturer Adolfo and his father they make fantastic furniture (unfortunately most of them too big to take with us, we got some small souvenirs made of wood instead). Great grilled chicken, see pictures.

Very noisy water pump many times during day and night. I was told when I checked in that there was no hot water in the hotel because they use panels and it was raining. However, there was electricity. As it happens on the morning of checkout we did have hot water in the shower.

The "superior studio" does not have a balcony – it is accessed through the same balcony that leads to other rooms on the same floor. The bathroom could be cleaner. We had a tour booked that would pick us up at 7:15, and the hotel restaurant did not open for breakfast until 7 although we were told it would open at 6:30, which meant we had to get our breakfast takeaway to eat on the road. The breakfast is quite plain and the waiter uninspired. The free wifi is patchy.

Ok price for what you get. Friendly staff in reception. Parking on-site. Big bed, spacious room, sofa. Complimentary water. Calm area. Very good restaurant around the corner on the main road.

The triple room was not nice and had intermittent water. All floors could have been cleaner.

We had three rooms. The suites had plenty of space and very hot water for a nice shower.

nice big room, clean and quiete location. little cheap restaurant with good food in hotel. Percet for the night before and after Calakmul

There was a short circuit and the electricity wires powering the room buzzed worryingly.

The property is a rural hotel in a village lost in the middle of a tropical forest. There were some imperfections, but overall the standard was high given the circumstances. The room was clean, dry, airy, and had a working AC. The wifi connection was quite good too. There is a hotel restaurant serving simple and good meals. All the staff was very friendly and nice to talk to (in Spanish).

-> Almost no waterflow in the sink -> Really not clean. There were laying black hairs from previous guests on the floor and in the shower. And a sticky floor with spots. -> Walls from thin carton. Resulting in a very noisy place

-> Parking spaces -> Quick and fluent checkin/out -> Availability of restaurant and breakfast -> Just stay here if you want to visit Calakmul and be prepared you only stay here to cover the distance.

No negative issues!

Very nice accommodations and breakfast. Not elegant but clean, comfortable, hot water, comfy bed and pillows. Safe!

The staff was helpful and kind. The room was clean. They have a nice little restaurant downstairs which makes great empanadas. They can make a lunch box for the visit in Calakmul

Wifi connection not perfect but not a big deal

From the reviews I previously saw, I had not high expectations from this hotel. On the opposite, it was a very nice staying! It is in the nature, with parking available and big and cleaned rooms. In front of our room there was the restaurant where we had some beers and a very nice dinner and breakfast. There was warm water in the shower. We stayed there to go to Calakmul, it was perfect for that. Price/quality recommended.
