B&Bs in Homún

The Hostal Oro Verde Homún experience feels like being part of the family. Dulce and Aleph welcomed us into their home and shared generously their knowledge of Homún and the special joy they bring to life! All the hostel basics are well-covered. The place is always spotless and the kitchen exceptionally well-provisioned (including the pantry, which they generously shared with us). The family also prepares meals that are more delicious than your average restaurant! We were in Homún to visit the local cenotes, and Aleph had several amazing recommendations that made sure we picked the right ones! We rented bicycles, waterproof torches and life jackets from the hostel, all at very reasonable prices. These significantly improved our experience of the cenotes (especially the bikes and torches). For our final day in Homún, Aleph offered to take us on a tour to three cenotes, including the Santa Maria caves and cenotes. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was an incredible experience that exceeded all expectations. Aleph shared his detailed knowledge about the cenotes and their natural processes, the secret parts of each cenote, and a once in a lifetime mud-bath in the caves! Dulce and Aleph are building something beautiful at Oro Verde, and I cannot recommend more strongly that you take the opportunity to experience it for yourself!

Spacious and clean room. Our room was number 8. Upstairs and no neighbor it was quiet and surrounded by greenery. There were 2 friendly dogs there. They are sweet dogs.

We loved this place. You could almost call it a cultural community center. The attention to detail and love for the environment are remarkable: they make their own soap from their bees, grow the watermelons and other fruits served at breakfast, and if you wish, Adriana will cook up delicious homemade Mexican dishes. And from our Dutch experience it was really: 'Lekker zitten, lekker eten'. We visited the lodge after a trip to Chichen Itza. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised that their daughter greeted us in Dutch! We hadn’t expected to hear our native language here, and she spoke it so well—it made us feel instantly at home. Leuk om van jou zo veel te leren van alle diertjes om jullie huisje! Geniet van het trampoline springen! The host has an impressive knowledge of Mayan culture and the local environment, and because she’s traveled widely throughout Mexico, she also has deep insight into how different cultures and histories intersect across the country. Beyond her work at the lodge, she even teaches local children about the cultural and natural heritage of the area, passing on traditional knowledge and skills to new generations. Our stay here truly enriched our understanding of Mexico. We leave with a deeper appreciation and perspective on this beautiful country.

A truly amazing experience. The owners and staff are so hospitable, it feels like your home away from home in the Yucatán jungle. Definitely stay here if you can, we’ll be back hopefully!
