Howlita Tulum - Adult Only

The breakfast was amazing every morning. The bed was the most comfortable of any stay i have booked before and Christian was the nicest host anyone could ask for. He helped us book a tour of Tulum with a Cenote, which was brilliant, and he was always on hand to answer any questions we had during our stay.

The property is amazing, super quiet and beautiful! The surroundings are super peaceful 😍

I do not have no complains, my rating is a 100%!

The owners are really friendly and they sent me information about different restaurant recommendations and things to do. The location is also great because it's in centro and close to a lot of restaurants and the main highway. The path back at night was okay for me. There was sufficient lighting on the streets.

This place is more of a B&B and that wasn't clear when I booked. Also, the breakfast could have more options. And the room was dark if the curtains were closed. The light in the room wasn't enough by itself.

I had a wonderful stay at Howlita. The bedroom was comfortable and the location was close (10-15 minutes walk) to the center, but far enough way to be silent during the night. There is a nice pool and free breakfast every day! The staff was extremely accommodating, allowing us to check-in late and check-out late. I would 100% recommend Howlita and stay there again!!

"Extremely friendly staff. We felt like coming home!

We booked for 1 night but ended up staying for 4 nights at the end. Christian is amazing host, thanks for everything.

Small property 3 blocks off the Main Street in Tulum Centro So, very quiet and the pool area is very nice. Breakfast was better than most. Eggs were delicious and the service was fast and accommodating to all needs! Staff does a very fine Job.

Amazing clean rooms, in very new condition. Decent size clean pool. Hosts are very friendly, easy to communicate with, english speaking.

The mattress is too stiff. All the rest was amazing.

Extremely friendly staff. We felt like coming home! ❤️

We had a very relaxing stay. Great location and quiet area.

Very friendly and helpful staff, we got additional information how to access the beaches and use the public transport or rent a a scooter. Lovely location a little away from the busy and loud main street.

The owner Chris very helpful. The price is good and very quiet. Calm and cozy

The breakfast i wasnt a fan. I would have loved some tortilla avacado and something local

They are great hosts! I had a wonderful experience here, and the breakfast was delish! It's a little bit of a local spot as far as neighbors go, which I love. I walked to town and saw many interesting things. I highly recommend it!

I liked it all... a little bit hard to find but other than that...good!

Pros: The host, Cristian, was very nice and helpful, gave us plenty of good recommendations for our trip. The hotel was clean.

Cons: The linens were of poor quality--the sheets felt like the cheapest polyester available. The towels didn't match, felt over-used, and there weren't washcloths in the room, only an extra floor towel. The breakfast was not worth it--we did the free breakfast option to save money but it was not good. The hotel itself feels like a former hostel in quality and vibe--it has an empty feeling even when there are people around. Later in our vacation we stayed at another hotel of a similar cost and location that was vastly better.

verf friendly welkome, good service en verf good tips for the surrounding.

Friendly and helpfull stuff Lots of tips for trips etc 5min walk to the mainstreet

Breakfast is quite early (7.45-9.00) - usually not my probelm, but it was bad weather and therefore a sleep in with later breakfast option would have been great

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The property is located within walking distance from the main street and the ADO bus stop.

Unfortunately our room felt damp and the bathroom smelled of mold and paint. The breakfast has minimal options

We had a good and comfortable short stay. Breakfast was basic but very friendly served. A big bonus is the fruit plate at breakfast. Drinking water available at all times. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with his suggestion to rent bikes. We did not use the pool.

The room felt a bit humid, which is probably normal for those places - there is the option of ventilation or using air conditioning.

This cute property is owned and operated by a very friendly and helpful family. They really make you feel at home. It is located in the suburbs, offering you a peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle, but still walking distance form all the touristy action. The breakfast was great and you could taste the love. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Clean room, amazing staff - above and beyond for any help. Nice breakfast and good location.

Some outdoor parts could do with a bit of a freshen up/paint but not too bad and didn’t affect our stay at all

Great location, walking distance from the cafes and restaurants. The place is lovely and the owners are super friendly. Our bed was very big which is a huge plus for us tall Dutchies ;) We enjoyed the daily breakfast as well. Would highly recommend!

-

Good value for money The hosts are the most sweet and amazing family

Not in the hotel area - but if you’re planning day trips this is a good place

The location close to the city centre. The room size and comfortable bed. Each room is equipped with A/C and ventilators. The breakfast is personalized and super good. Christian is a great host!

The time to get breakfast could be extended a bit more.

The host Christian was very good. Excellent recommendations and looked after me. Helped out a lot with directions and tour bookings. Breakfast was okay. Room cleaned daily. Water cooler in the hotel was very handy. Great night sleep.

Shower pressure very poor, water took a while to warm. No tv in room. Not enough hangar space for clothes.

Spacious room and very clean. Super fiendly family run business

The host was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was excellent fresh fruit coffee scrambled egg toast etc.

The room was a little dark. The plastic sheet on the mattress made it feel a little clammy at night.

Very warm and welcoming staff. Beautiful rooms.

Super friendly owners, they really made us feel welcome & gave great recommendations. Good size bedroom and bathroom. Great breakfast (fruit, coffee, eggs, toast) in the garden area. Decent size swimming pool. The hotel felt really secure.

The bed was a little too soft for me.

Air conditioning, parking, pool. Very friendly host.

The room is small, no amenities. Situated in a strange neighborhood. The towels looked very worn out. Very thin walls. In the morning you can hear everything, the steps, the walking on the hallway. The personnel woke me up with their talking and walking in front of the room. Strange layout of the hotel with not much privacy here.

The staff were incredibly helpful and flexible, they catered to all our needs. We got instructions for late check-in, recommendations for a lot of things to do in Tulum and for bars / restaurants. The rooms were cleaned every day, the breakfast was also delicious. Overall, we had a great stay!

For us it wasn't a big downside; however, good to know that the hotel is not located in the city center, but slightly away from it (10-15 min walk). The area felt safe though, we didn't experience any issues coming home late.

The accommodation was great, the owners advised us on restaurants in the area and in town. On the last day it was possible to store luggage in the hotel for later pick up.

This is a very nice, family run hotel in a quiet street, away from traffic. Cristian was super helpful and friendly. Hotel has a lovely courtyard with a pool. Everything was clean - loved the bathroom.

The beds, although big, didn't have headboards which would have made a great difference to the look of the room.

Price

Bed was hard.

Nice breakfast. Very attentive hosts. Communicate with WhatsApp, texting only. Quickest and best results. Room could use another chair and maybe a light blanket for those who need it.

Very nice hotel with unique dekoration. The hotel is 7 minutes walk from the city centre and the ADO bus terminal which gives easy access to attraktions around Tulum but also total quiet nights away from the city noise.

Very nice hosts and stuff. Simple but everythig u need is there

The place is super clean, the room is spacious and very comfortable, quiet. You can enjoy a restful night. The grounds are really well kept, the breakfast was delicious. The host is very friendly and will give you tips if needed. You can walk from the ADO bus station to the place, it would take around 10 minutes, if you cross the main road you can hope in a "colectivo" to go to the beach, ruins, Playa del Carmen. I really recommend this hotel.

Nothing

Everything very clean, large bed, amazing breakfast with nice espresso !

Christian let us stay at his hotel when hurricane Beryl was due to hit Tulum. We really appreciated this as our previous hotel had began shutting down with no information to guests of what they should do. Christian said we could stay, told us what to expect, told us we wouldn’t be alone, taped up the windows etc. He was such a nice guy and so were his family and their beautiful dog Yoda! Also the room was spacious and clean in a great location close to town in a quiet and safe street :)

Nothing!

Small B&B Hotel, very very clean, despite the humid weather. All installations clean. Breakfast was fine, the attention of the owner really great. The location is pretty close to the main road in Tulum, approx. 5-8min walk. Parking lot in front of the house. I really can recommend the place.

Staff very helpful and friendly, also gave us plenty of info and recommendations. Good location if you’re happy to hire a scooter. We hired one from Scooterama, just around the corner, and they were great. You can walk to the town but it would be too dark at night to walk back, as there aren’t any lights.

Unfortunately the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, the mattress was terrible which led to us both being in a lot of discomfort for the duration of our stay. There wasn’t a bin in the room (aside from the one for the toilet) and the way the shower is set up meant the whole bathroom floor got very wet.

Everything! A fabulous place to stay in a quiet, peaceful part of Tulum but close enough to easily walk to the main drag with its bars and restaurants. Christian was the perfect host, super friendly and helpful and really good with communication before I arrived (particularly directions and arrival at the property) and during my stay. He was very accommodating about my late arrival and even met me in person to check me in despite the late hour. My room was lovely, a really comfortable bed (I slept so well) and a lovely shower. Breakfast was great, tasty and plenty of it. I can't recommend this place enough, after a very long journey to get there, it felt like a true home from home as soon as I arrived

Honestly - nothing! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat

This was perfect for us! The owners are so kind and helpful. They were so accommodating in facilitating a late check in, as we had to book last minute due to travel plans changing. The room was clean, comfortable and air conditioned. The breakfast is lovely, and we really enjoyed having breakfast overlooking the pool in the mornings. I’d definitely recommend!

A lot of thanks and credits to Cristian and the other members of the staff. You were very helpful.

Nothing.

-Very friendly staff, owner. -Comfortable rooms -Pool

-It is a bit to walk to get to "down town"

The service & owner was amazing, great breakfast,very enjoyable place to stay. Would highly recommend & definitely go back again.

The stone finish on the wall by the pool looked and felt amazing. The breakfast was delicious. I felt at home.

N/a

The stay was lovely, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us many tips about the city, good restaurants to visit and which beach to go without being robbed by the beach clubs.

It's not the property fault, but Tulum is not as pedestrian friend as it should be, going from the hotel to the city is just a few blocks but parts of the path don't have proper lights in the streets, so you should be careful at night.

The room was big and well furnished, very beautiful swimming pool (we had direct access to it from the room). Breakfast was tasty and the staff was super nice and available. The owner gave us very useful advice for restaurants and for bars in the nearby.

Unfortunately, the electricity service of the city had some problems and then, starting from 02:00 a.m. until 10:00 in the morning we remained without air conditioning, water (so without the possibility to use the WC) and light in the room.

Excellent rooms, deco and good vibe Good life philosophy and live responsible

Away from the main street...and a bit dark to walk late at night. But we rented the bikes and all experience chenged

- Location: very well located, just a few minutes walk to restaurants, bars and the Centre - Staff: very friendly and helpful - breakfast: fruit and a choice of bread with jam and Nutella or eggs

- Rooms and furniture are older and smaller than what they look like in the pictures

The property had a beautiful pool, clean rooms and common spaces, and it was located near stores and restaurants.

The mattress was not comfortable to sleep on.

Amazing hotel staff, great recommendations, very helpful and supportive Excellent price-performance ratio

The room was next to the pool so there was a smell of chlorine in the room, the matress was not really comfortable

If you seek a nice, little hotel, with lovely hosts, awesome Italian coffee and a place to relax from busy Tulum, then this is your place. We had a great time and our host organized an amazing tour to Muyil and Sian Kaan for us. Can definitely recommend this hotel ☺️

The service provided was truly outstanding. Immediately after booking, we received a WhatsApp message containing all the information we needed for a smooth check-in process. Additionally, the inclusion of complimentary breakfast was a delightful bonus. We particularly appreciated our host's willingness to share recommendations for nearby restaurants.

However, we found ourselves somewhat misled by the images on the website. The initial impression of our room was rather disappointing compared to our expectations set by the high ratings of the hotel. Despite the impeccable service provided by the hosts, the room's amenities fell short. The refrigerator was not plugged in and emitted an unpleasant odor. Moreover, there was no trash bin in the room itself, only one next to the toilet for toilet paper disposal. While a hairdryer was available upon request, we expected it to be standard room equipment.

Leandro was really helping

Excellent location (ADO Main Bus Terminal is a short walking distance and Collective stations), TULUM Beach is So Beautiful, Based on the Hotel host Christian and partner Advice, We did Tulum Ruins and then walk 1 km to Tulum Paradise Beach Club, The Beach, White sand, Palm trees, Turquoise Water So Beautiful (It will be Mistake to do a Daytrip from Playa d Carmen), CENOTE DOS OHOS & CENOTE CALAVERA We get information from the Host, Excellent ! Breakfast: Fruits, Coffee, Juice, Toast, Omelette, Ham Best! Spacious Room, Safe

Nothing

Location and the owner Christian was really kind and helpful person. Croissants were amazing in the breakfast and coffee was really good. Because Christian is Italian 😜

Bed was king size but it could be more comfortable

Nice pool, wonderful owner who’s extremely helpful, breakfast in the mornings, clean, safe facility and best for us.. Parking as we had a rental car.

Some streets outside property along streets were not lighted, so make sure your phone can offer light.

The welcome and attention. The beds were extremely comfortable

good location, short walk to bus station and restaurants but off the beaten track so not noisy very welcoming and helpful host, sent us info ahead of arrival via WhatsApp lovely room with comfy large bed

Good facilities, comfy bed, good locations. With a balcony. In general it was good.

the bathroom could be better. Hot water came slowly No elevator, so we had to use the stairs. Breakfast came slowly.

breakfast was nice. I didn't use the pool.

Spacious lovely room with balcony, good breakfast made to order with fruit plate, cappuccino, loved the outdoor area by the pool. Owner had excellent recommendations for everything. Location is in quieter residential area. Nice to be away from busy Main Street of Tulum.

The host was amazing and the breakfast he made was wonderful. The grounds are really nice and its fairly close to everything you need. Steps from the bus station.

It could have been a bit cozier.

Really friendly and helpful hosts who helped us with the moped hire/ tours and local tips! Good aircon Comfy bed Very clean Lovely bedsheets Very peaceful location but near to town (about 10 mins walk to Ado)

Very minor things - The pool area could be more appealing/softer with some more seating - I really didn't like the plastic undersheet on the bed.

Very kind staff. Breakfast with eggs, croissants, bread and Nutella

Looking at the photo on Booking, the structure seems much more beautiful. The swimming pool is not well maintained, and it would be important, considering that the sea is far away and very expensive. To smoke a cigarette you will have to go to the street, even if there are many open spaces inside the structure

This is more like a bed and breakfast with wonderful breakfast served in an outdoor covered area. The on-site pool was nice also. The staff (owners, managers?) were excellent and fluent in English.

A little table and chairs in the room would be convenient.

Very friendly and helpfull owners, nice and clean room.

Everytjing was ok

Very friendly helpful staff. Easy to park everywhere the street. Good breakfast included. Good cleaning of sheets and towels.

Water in shower took 5-7min to get warm. Sun not hitting the swimming pool most of the time.

The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. There is a shortcut to the main street, so you are able to enjoy a peaceful sleep while easily accessing the local shops, restaurants and nightlife. The staff were exceptionally hospitable and made us feel truly welcomed.

Simple place for short term stay. Owner is very helpful and friendly.

Bad is really uncomfortable, I think they haven’t changed the mattress for many years. No hair dryer in the room, need to request it every day.

Hospitality was off the charts. Freedom to leave the property and it was very secure was a huge plus. Pool was awesome and rooms were great. Very B&B feel but scaled up

N/A

Run by a very lovely Italian family :)

Smoking area would be nice

Cute hotel, good location. The owners are really nice. They even accepted to change the date of our stay because we couldn't make it on time. Breakfast and pool are a plus.

The staff was exceptional and very helpful! Felt home in the first second!

The breakfast every morning was great!

The hosts are very friendly and the breakfast is delicious.

The hotel is located in a quiet street but so close to the center of the town. The family running the hotel is incredibly helpful and friendly. Clean room, comfortable bed, fast WiFi, great breakfast! What more could you ask for? I would stay here again! Thank you :)
