Hostal Homún Oro Verde

Hostal Homún Oro Verde exceeded our expectations before we even arrived. As part of our trip through Mexico, we wanted to have distinctly different experiences, and having just come from Mérida, we were looking for something completely different. The dirt track leading to this beautiful little hostel set the scene perfectly. The hostel itself is clean, full of charm and wonderfully relaxed, with a large open communal space and a great kitchen that guests are welcome to use. The atmosphere draws you in from the moment you arrive. Aleph and his family welcomed us incredibly warmly and, quite simply, are some of the nicest people you could wish to meet. We came to Homún to get away from it all and explore the cenotes, and asked Aleph to take us out for the day. It was an amazing experience. He clearly has a deep love for the cenotes and was a fantastic guide, explaining their natural history and spiritual significance with equal enthusiasm and really bringing the connection between the two to life. We also had breakfast at the hostel and it was the best breakfast of our entire trip: fresh, delicious and full of vegetables and goodness. Oro Verde is surrounded by wildlife, which added even more to the experience.

Nothing. There is genuinely nothing we would have changed about our stay.

This is a very special place. The best of Homún, capital of cenotes. You are living at the edge of town (but very walkable to the center, it’s a small town) so you are immersed in the natural environment - this is not an experience you can have in the cities. And your hosts live and breathe this place - the gorgeous property (really clean beautiful boho chic) built with the natural land it’s found on by the owners themselves(!) and the delicious healthy breakfasts made with the freshest local ingredients from town. Come and meet these kind people and have a look at a side of Yucatan that most travelers miss.

Aleph is an incredible friendly and wonderful guy. In the cenote tour he took me to many different and beautiful cenotes, all of which we were the only people there. I highly recommend coming to stay here for a few nights for anybody who would like to experience the cenotes

El trato es excelente Alef una maravilla de persona. Te muestra la parte más sagrada de los cenotes y el ecosistema que en ellos viven. Una experiencia maravillosa. No dejen de ir!!

We had the most magical time during our stay at Hostel Oro Verde! The family were so generous and beautiful, helping us make the most of our trip to Homun. It was super easy to rent bikes and explore by yourself however I would highly recommend the tour provided by the hostel. They create an incredible experience that explores the cultural and spiritual importance of the cenotes, as well as enjoying them as beautiful places to swim and have fun! The hostel was very clean with a fantastic kitchen, showers and toilets.

C'est l'endroit parfait pour partir à la recherche des cénotes et du calme. Il y en a partout, accessibles très rapidement et avec presque personnes ! Mais le plus c'est la gentillesse et la bienveillance des hôtes. Toute la famille a été aux petits soins pour nous faire découvrir les alentours et qu'on soit le plus confortable possible. Un grand merci à eux !

On devait rester une seule nuit et au final nous sommes restés deux nuits. J'avoue quand tu arrives dans cette maison, c'est différent de ce que tu peux avoir l'habitude et que ton expérience va dépendre des autres voyageurs qui seront là aussi. Mais je recommande à 1000%, les hôtes sont gentils, attentionnés, les lieux sont propres, et mignons. Nous avons aussi fait le tour des canotes, c'est vraiment top et différents. Du coup pendant le reste de notre voyage nous ne voulions plus faire d'autres cenotes car nous savions que ça ne serait pas pareil. Et je travaille en 100% télétravail, la connexion était parfaite, même en visio. Et dernier truc, mais le petit déjeuner était beaucoup trop cool.

It was a lovely stay. The host is very welcoming and caring. He showed us some beautiful cenote which we would have never discovered without his guidance. The way he guides trough a cenote was also amazing with diving into the hodden spots and give us some information about the history, secret caves and spirituality of a cenote. Also the breakfast was amazing, prepared and eat right in the kitchen with familydinner vibes. Great experience 🙏

Au calme et dans la nature. Les jeunes propriétaires sont adorables .Aleph nous a conseillé pour la visite de cénotes, tres bons conseils. Il est tres attentionné avec ses hôtes, et tres gentil. Le dortoir est composé de 8 lits,avec moustiquaires et ventilateurs. Aleph vient même nous border la.moustiquaire le soir! Il y a suffisamment de douches et wc. La cuisine commune est grande et bien équipée.

Rien. Attention toutefois s'il pleut car le toit de l'entrée n'est pas couvert,donc je me demande ce que ça donnerai...en tout cas quand il ne pleut pas c'est tres utile pour aerer la maison et la rafraîchir. Pensez a apporter votre nourriture.

La hospitalidad de sus dueños y como se vuelcan en todo. Aleph te lleva a cenotes antes de la apertura . La experiencia de estar sola y sentir el lugar es inolvidable. Son dos grandes anfitriones. Dulce le pone un cariño increíble al desayuno

Absolutamente todo

Aleph est aux petits soins. Il vous proposera de venir vous chercher dès votre arrivé, de superbes petits déjeuner ainsi qu'une journée guidée dans les Cenotes. Incroyable. Nous recommandons vivement. Merci Aleph, on t'aime !

Beautiful place with beautiful people. Very peacefull with good vibes. I loved it! Amazing stay. I wish I could stay longer. Hosts very friendly and helpful, they show the best Cenotes in the area to go. They provide you with all you need to enjoy Cenotes - a bike, a waterproof flashlight, a life jacket. Hostel close to nature, Cenotes are very close too. There are many different in the area. You can walk, ride a bike or take a mototaxi to get there. Very clean and nice. High standard. Great for individuals, groups and retreats.

Respirar paz - Dankeschön Kinich für dieses schöne Erlebnis: das leckere Essen, den Cenote-Besuch bei Nacht und bei Tag, die Unterhaltungen... Die ganze Familie hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles Gute!

Mi experiencia en el Hostal Oro Verde fue verdaderamente inolvidable. Desde el momento en que llegué hasta mi partida me sentí completamente acogida. Este hostal es un oasis de tranquilidad, alejado del bullicio, lo que me permitió disfrutar de una paz inigualable. Los dueños, Dulce y Aleph, son increíblemente amigables y estuvieron siempre atentos a mis necesidades, desde mi llegada hasta mi salida. Sus conversaciones hicieron mi estancia aún más placentera y me sentí genuinamente feliz durante todo el tiempo que estuve allí. Además, ofrecen alquiler de bicicletas y equipo de snorkel a precios muy razonables, lo cual es una gran ventaja considerando lo costoso que puede ser directamente en los cenotes. ¡Recomiendo Oro Verde a cualquiera que busque una experiencia auténtica y relajante en Homún!

Initially I booked a bed to sleep in while checking out cenotes, but I got sooooooo much more. Dulce & Aleph and their two sons are some of the kindest and most beautiful souls I have met in this lifetime. They welcome you with open arms and endless love. If you take the bus, it will drop you off 5 min walking from the hostel if you ask the driver. When you are done your experience here, Aleph will at no cost drop you off at the bus terminal and make sure you are set. You may have seen pictures of cenotes or read about them. None of that can prepare you for what Aleph will expose you to. He speaks Spanish and English and he will guide you on a soul journey experienced by the sacred land, water, and energies his town has been blessed with. Nothing is pushed on you and his intuition will provide an experience for you that will leave a lasting memory forever. I spend time in open cenotes in the jungle surrounded by animals an nature. Got to do a morning meditation underground with sacred energies. To top it all, a call to his connections finished my trip with a night time horse and carriage ride, 4 km into the jungle to experience four cenotes at night. Dulce, his beautiful wife keeps the house clean and welcoming at all times. Nothing you ask for is an inconvenience here. For a very reasonable price, they will cook you the most beautiful meals, with local ingredients, lots of love,, according to your dietary needs, at whatever times you desire. I could go on forever, but hopefully you get the idea. Came here to recharge my battery and got so much more. With no light pollution, you see all the stars and moon at night, while listening to the harmony and sounds of nature. My cup is overflowing, my heart is expanded and my soul has rejoiced. As part of their name indicates, this place is pure gold!!!! Dulce, Aleph & family, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

We very pleased with our stay at hostal Oro Verde with excelente owners Dulce and Aleph and their families. The hotel keeps what it promises (and that's not a little). They offer tour around bunch of cenotes where isn't known even by other locals. And that beautiful experience on the fresh nature was completely amazing, which was explained very well by them taking the time. The atmosphere of building is quite familiar and you are quickly familiar with all the offers and procedures. The house is time-honored and at the same time very nicely restored and modernized. We also liked the interior design extraordinarily well. Of course, the garden you can do camping is unique. We were also completely satisfied with the room, In the interior, where the sun comes in, are at the same time the showers and kitchen are quite clean(they clean there every morning at early hours) And great are the breakfast times, whereby we found the concept with kind of organic breakfast ordering great, especially as the selection is large and the food is of very good quality. Generally the hostel is in very good condition, the staff are very friendly and helpful, all rooms are always clean. We can highly recommend the place and will gladly come back. Definitely here is the best hostel in Homun.

The accommodation is very clean and the location is nice and quiet. I can highly recommend a stay! The family that owns the accommodation is super welcoming and caring. We ate several meals there and they were all delicious. The tours offered by the host father are an absolute must. We loved the insight into the local nature and culture.

The hostel is located in a quiet and peaceful area. I love the minimalistic design in the main area. Loved having a mosquito net over the bed. The bathroom and shower is gorgeous:-) The best part is the staff. They are very knowledgeable about all the cenotes. They recommended me two of them, and I had an unforgettable experience.

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!

When you see so many positive and long reviews from so many people that stayed there and took their time to write about their experience you can be sure the place must have something that others do not have... and hell yeah it did... I came to Oro Verde for just one night initially, thinking there would not be so much to do in a small town like Homún... and I could not have been more wrong. I ended up staying 3 nights and I would have stayed many more if I could. The atmosphere was really nice, the place is clean and spacious and the Internet works perfectly, even when the hostel is full, as they have Starlink. It is also the perfect place to disconnect from work, routines and busy city life and take it a bit slower in calm environment and connect with nature The host are two amazing human beings that love what they do and work very hard so everyone can enjoy their vacation at its fullest. Dulce cooks amazing homemade, fresh and healthy food, which is way better than any of the other restaurants in town and for a very reasonable price. Aleph on the other side will take you with the mototaxi to the best cenotes around Homún and not just the most touristy ones in which you will have the whole place almost by yourself, as we did on many occasions. They also provide snorkel masks and lanterns for a better experience. Additionally, they got brand new mountain bikes for the guests to use and move around freely and have many more amazing ideas to make the place even better!! So definitely looking forward to stay there again!! Muchas gracias por todo y hasta pronto :)

Everything was amazing! Muchas gracias!!

An absolute gem! It's so beautiful here and it's surrounded not just by cenotes but amazing countryside for long leisurely walks. The food that they prepare is organic and delicious and they are very generous with it and the juices they prepare.. They also have transport to deliver you wherever you want. A place to view magnificent sunsets and the stars too..it's amazing and so are the family that run it xxxxx

Nothing! All top quality!

This is not only a hostel, this is the full package. The best part about it are the hosts that make the stay special, as they care for you like their family as they cook for you and offered us guided adventures: driving to the cenotes with motortaxis and explaining all backgrounds. The hostel itself is small with its 8 beds, it is very clean, beds are comfortable, breakfast is very delicious. Parking directly in front of the hostel is possible, the last 50m are a little bumpy but manageable. Lockers available.

Just very minor points: Water pressure at shower is not perfect and no hot water. Not many communal areas except one table in front of the house but with just 8 guest max you'll find quite places.

Felt like home. The hosts were so joyful and high vibrational. I will recommend my friends to stay here when they pass through.

Honestly? Go! Dulce and Aleph are creating something magical. They give information most tour guides woudn't know, cook eyceptionally well and healthy and are happy to help with everything one could need. The hostal it self is one big room so you get to know everybody very quickly. Other than that it's a little hidden which makes for a calm atmosphere surrounded by nature (there even is a secret cenote near by!). Everything was super clean and fully equipped. I got to really relax on my days there, and by the end it felt like I was part of the family. I am so excited for how Oro Verde grows in the future and will forever hold fond memories of this place and most of all the people.

The property is very homey and comfortable. I am a germaphobe and still somehow this Hostal met my expectations! The shower was even more beautiful in person. The open space was very freeing and it was cool enough to sleep at night without any fans or AC (November)
