Emplacement parfais, centre et plage proches. Le calme, le confort.
Habitación amplia pero muy básica. No hay lugar para desayunar, no hay alberca, no te limpian vasos ni tazas de cafe, la ubicación está un poco retirado del parque. Yo no lo recomiendo
Ubicación no es la mejor, lejos caminando del centro. No tiene desayuno , no te ponen café diario por lo menos, no te ponen botellas de agua, no lo recomiendo
Casa in pieno stile “Holbox”, molto curata in ogni singolo dettaglio e funzionale in tutto. Gli spazi sono ben organizzati e confortevoli. Il proprietario è molto gentile e disponibile, sempre pronto a fare due chiacchiere e a dare ottimi consigli.
Appartamento molto bello in simbiosi con l'isola, pulito e staff accogliente e pronto a rispondere ad ogni esigenza
The room was wide, clean and well furnished. The host was great and extremely welcoming. Value for money, it's a great choice. The hotel is within walking distance from any relevant spot in the island.
Nothing - the experience was great!
Tout était bien ! Super endroit
Comfortable room, nice location, great host, friendly michi. Thanks Luis for your recommendations and the attention to detail!
The owner was really nice and welcoming, he had great recemmondations for food and activities and made us feel very much at home. The appartment was very spacious, with really good working AC. Everyday the room got cleaned up and the centre of Holbox was less than a ten minute walk away. Also, there were hammocks to hang out in and there was a really sweet cat. If I visit Holbox again, I would definitely spend the night at Casa Sofia again.
Loved the place, magic place to have a very special stay at Holbox, beautiful, quiet, close to everything, luis is very nice, always trying to make our stay perfect, I will go back there, loved the bed and the bathroom has a very strong shower.... was my favorite part(shower) after a long day at the beach.
Everything, was perfect,
Ce bungalow, le plus en hauteur, est très agréable avec une terrasse équipée de mobilier et hamac d’où on a une vue fantastique sur la moitié de l’ile et la mer au loin. On est vraiment récompensé de la montée des nombreux escaliers... Chambre spacieuse avec très grand lit, moustiquaire et ventilateur au plafond. Coin cuisine pratique avec couverts, mini réfrigérateur et machine à café. Salle de bain bien équipée et douche fonctionelle. Bon wifi. Luis est un hôte attentif et très arrangeant. Plages et centre à 15 minutes à pied. Merci pour ce bel hébergement ayant bonifié notre séjour à Holbox.
Peut-être que l'on pourrait avoir un peu plus de meuble de rangement dans la chambre
Great place, very friendly host!!
I love the beautiful setting, decorations- local artists, clean space, comfy bed & pillows, big shower, balcony with sitting area and love the sweetest cat on property. I loved giving her cuddles and belly rubs. The host Luis is fantastic! Always available if you need anything and he takes such good care of everything.i appreciate how quiet and relaxing my stay was. I slept so well every night without interruptions just birds singing in the morning the way it should be.

Super beau logement tout en hauteur très bien décoré très belle vue, ça change des appartements basiques
Beaucoup de bruit provenant de l’extérieur
Comfortabel. Schoon. Perfecte locatie. Uitbreiding drukte maar dichtbij centrum en strand
Niks
Da fällt mir gar nicht viel ein. Die Lage ist o.k.. Ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß zur Innenstadt und 20 - 30 Minuten bis zum Cocos Beach. Die Anlage ist soweit gepflegt, die Zimmer sind sauber. Alles in allen solider Durchschnitt.
Mit den Fotos bei der Buchung ist das so eine Sache. Es sieht alles immer ganz nett aus, bis man die Unterkunft wirklich sieht. Mein erster Eindruck war 'in die Jahre gekommen', nicht sehr wohnlich, simpel, bloß kein Teil zu viel. Die Couch war fleckig, der Küchenteil (alles ein Zimmer) lieblos ausgestattet und der Waschtisch so weit nach hinten versetzt, das man sich nicht richtig waschen kann. Das Bett hatte simple (saubere) Laken. Der Check-In war unpersönlich. Man muss sein Gepäck selbst über eine steile Treppe in die 2. Etage tragen und das Wichtigste für den Vermieter war als erstes sofort die zusätzlichen Gebühren zu kassieren ( Wichtig: beim Vorweisen des Fähr-Tickets wird es etwas billiger, also nicht wegscheißen). Das alles ist für manche verwirrend. Ein paar Bocken Englisch (oder -Selbstkritik- Spanisch) wären da sicher von Vorteil. Die Terrasse, die für uns sehr wichtig ist, bestand aus einer kleinen Ecke mit harten Holzstühlen und Zugang zur nächsten höheren Etage. Mein Tipp: Oberste Etage wählen, da ist eine größere Terrasse, und keiner stapft vorbei. Manchen Leuten ist das alles egal, die sollen sich in Casa Sofia wohlfühlen. Wir würden Casa Sofia nicht mehr buchen.
This was probably the best stay on our whole Mexico trip! To begin with, the entire property is beautiful, designed in harmony with the surrounding nature. Our rooms were spacious, airy, extremely clean (there is meticulous room service every day), and the beds are very comfy. We found the location to be ideal - just ten minutes walking from the "center" and thus away from the noise. Super peaceful days and nights. Absolutely worth it. I would come back here anytime.
There is nothing I dislike truly.
Struttura ottima in posizione perfetta a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro e lontana dai rumori. La pulizia è eccezionale e la disponibilità di Luis è straordinaria. Assolutamente consigliato.
Nicely decorated, large and comfortable room close to the center area and yet very quiet at nights for sleep. The staff are very nice and helpful.
Rustige locatie met mooie, ruime kamers op loopafstand van strand en restaurants/bars

La struttura molto bella. Bagno e doccia enormi. Molto curato e letto molto comodo. Terrazzino esterno
Le vie intorno.
Superbe endroit tranquille sur l’île d’Holbox ! Charme du bois
Location and the host Luis were fantastic
Amazing location, we had the top floor where the sunset was beautiful. Luis was really friendly and told us all about his lovely building.
Nothing
The room was spacious and comfortable. Really liked the design of the place. The staff were very nice and helpful.
Location is a bit far from the city center and the beaches, but not too far. A few minutes walk.
Die geschmackvolle, natürliche Einrichtung, der nette Gastgeber, die ruhige Lage.
Die Balkonstühle waren ein wenig unbequem, aber andere Zimmer hatten andere Balkonstühle, die vielleicht etwas bequemer waren.
Nos gustó el concepto de hospedaje, rústico, cómodo, hogareño y práctico. Con una excelente ubicación
Todo bien
Super recomendable!

Casa Sofia is a great place to stay in Holbox. The room is beautiful and spacious, very cleaned and nicely decorated. Luis was a perfect host, he was very welcoming and gave us a lot of info and suggestions. The room is slighty outside the center (which is though reachable with max 5-10 min by foot) and for this reason is very quiet, which is fantastic. Highly recommended!
Amazing! The room is very clean and bed super comfy! They clean the room every day. Luis, the owner is very kind. The place is calm and relaxing. I recommend!!
Cudowny styl Boho, całość obiektu ma spójny styl, który idealnie pasuje do pobytu na tej pięknej wyspie. Nasz bungalow był bardzo dobrze usytuowany, wszędzie było blisko, okolica cicha, z dala od imprezowej części wyspy. Bardzo miły gospodarz, który chętnie porozmawia i wyjaśni jak się mają sprawy na wyspie i co warto zrobić, na czego nie. Polecamy brać pokoje typu bungalow, lub te na wyższych piętrach.
Sprzątanie jest codziennie co akurat nam nie do końca odpowiada, bo nie było wymagane, a mieliśmy podejrzenia, że ktoś niestety zaglądał do sejfu. Jednak traktujemy to jako bo odosobniony incydent.
Atendimento muito bom, quarto charmoso e confortável com ótimo custo benefício.
A estadia foi excelente, mas um ponto a melhorar é o chuveiro, que tem temperatura instável.
Loved the tranquility and balcony. The host was very friendly.
Chambre très confortable et agréable, avec son balcon. Petit plus, machine à café, frigidaire et vaisselle pour se faire un encas. A 10mn de centre ville.
We loved Casa Sofia Holbox! Luis was a great host and we loved his cat, Michi. The property had character, was clean, and the bed was very comfortable! It was quiet at night and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, etc. We would love to stay here again next time we are in Holbox!
Luis was super friendly, the room was super tidy and fully lives up to the pictures. Everything looks brand new and is in really good condition. The atmosphere overall is very relaxed and you are a short walk away from the city center and the noise.
The only small improvement I can think of is to have a plug and/or small light at both ends of the bed
Tout était parfait !
Rien
Le lieu, la propreté, l'emplacement, la sécurité, la litterie
La "kitchenette" pourrait être un peu plus fournie? Une plaque de cuisson portative et quelques ustensiles en plus? Ou une bouilloire?
The accommodation was fantastic. Our host, Luis, provided us with a detailed list of information about both the accommodation and the island. He was very flexible with our check-in and check-out times. The location was quiet, yet just a short walk away from the beaches, restaurants, and shops. We had a great stay.
Luis was warm, very helpful with recommending tour operators, reserving taxi service and generally just a perfect host! The room was large, with windows on four sides providing great air circulation, we never used the A/C. The patio/balcony was large and private. Everything was clean and tastefully decorated. We put great use to the kitchen/fridge area. The location was perfect for us, close to the beach and center but off the main drag a bit, so much quieter.
La chambre Luna (studio) est très spacieuse. La salle de bain est aussi plus grande que sur les photos. La vie du deuxième étage en vaut la peine. Les rideaux black out c'est génial. Juste assez loin, juste assez proche!
Plancher de béton donc on entend tout à l'étage supérieur.
The staff were really helpful and responsive, particularly with sending upfront information ahead of arriving on the island. Hotel is in a quiet location but only a short walk to the main restaurants and bars.
Stanza e bagno molto puliti, letto molto comodo, zona molto tranquilla e silenziosa
Ruime accommodatie, op loopafstand van alles
Great host. Luis is a legend. Really simple accommodation but very clean and comfortable. Internet is great! Location is a small walk from the center but very manageable. Right in the middle of a more residential part of town so very quiet
Nothing
Les propriétaires répondaient très rapidement. Très propre, bien situé, cosy. Je recommande.🙏✨☺️
The location was very cozy, quiet and just a few meters from the center of Holbox! We also appreciated the service, they are always nice and around to ask if everything is okay!
Everything was fine!
Absolutely loved Casa Sofia, what a beautiful property! Very well maintained, our room and property were spotless. We had the king sized bed room, all the way up top and the views did not disappoint. Loved the rooftop terrace with hammock and table to sit at. The room was really lovely, it included: fridge, sink, coffee maker as well. The shower was so fun, the water comes out of a big conch shell! The owner Luis was super friendly and was always available for recommendations with things like bicycle or beach recos! There’s also a beautiful, friendly kitty that hangs around the hotel and she’ll definitely add a little extra happy to your day :) The hotel is close to everything really, such as the popular brunch spot Mr. Happy! Thanks for a great stay Luis!
the place was great, super confortable and i loved that wasnt in the verry deep center that makes it quieter :)
all was great
Wat een mooie locatie in een rustig deel van Isla Holbox. Luis is een aardige man die je veel tips kan geven. Het is heel sfeervol ingericht ook buiten. Je voelt de Holbox vipe. We hadden een heel mooie kamer, vooral de doucheschelp was heel leuk.
Niets
We were very pleased and highly recommend this place. It's even better than the photos. The place is unique, and the owner is a super nice person.
Fairly new construction, very clean. Excellent staff and Luis the owner was kind and knowledgeable of the area.
Lacked amenities, no pool, jacuzzi, no nice garden area to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The outdoor furniture looked very nice but wasn’t that comfortable and had a security camera looking down on us. Indoors was very nice but lacked a place to sit. IE, a bistro table and two chairs would have been amazing. A microwave, corkscrew and bottle opener would also help.
Okay property friendly staff
We were not able to make it to the island for our first night . We had ferry tickets but after travelling for three hours to the ferry, our ferry trip was cancelled due to high winds. Every hotel was fully booked in Chiquila and we had to make a costly trip to Cancun at 9pm and scramble to find somewhere to stay. After discussing this with fellow stranded travels who told us that their hotels we very understanding and accommodating, we explain our dilemma to Luis and requested to adjust our reservation and stay an additional too nights at Sofia. He refused to accommodate our request. We were disappointed by his customer service. Additionally, our wifi did not work for two days which was an issue as I required wifi to work remotely.
De host Luis heeft ons enorm goed geholpen in het boeken van tours en om ons verblijf onvergetelijke te maken! Bedankt!
Proche du centre et de la plage, au calme. Luis le propriétaire est très gentil et m’a aidé à réserver un taxi le jour de mon départ. Il est aussi très réactif si vous avez des soucis (les chats du voisin étaient entrés dans mon logement et il est venu les faire sortir, il a également mis rapidement du produit pour les insectes qui rongeaient le bois du lit)
Les rideaux ne sont pas occultants et une bouilloire serait un plus
Large room. Cleaning services every day.
Holbox had a big storm before our trip, and the whole island was swamped. Although I know it’s not casa Sofia’s fault, it should be specified that it is necessary to walk in puddles in order to access downtown or to take a taxi. When we talked to the host about it, we got told that it was what it was, and didn’t get offered any solution, when many hotels are in the sidewalk zone and are not confronted to those problems. In addition, be aware that there’s hot water for one shower only in the room.
Luis is super kind and always offers to help. The room is very clean and spacious. The bed is big and comfortable. The shower pressure is the best we had so far in Mexico. The outside seating is also very nice and because of the fridge in the room we could do a nice breakfast setting. Also, the housecat is very cute. The AC is perfect.
It’s a 10 min walk to the beach/city, but that’s something we knew beforehand. We liked everything!
Todo muy bien cuidado y Luis nos ayudó en todo
La presión de la ducha quizás un poco inadecuada, pero un detalle
La struttura è molto carina, ben curata e pulita. La stanza con terrazza al quarto piano è davvero tipica e ha una bella vista.
Avendo preso la stanza con la terrazza il sole batteva morto forte ed il tetto di legno non isolava pur avendo le finestre tutte chiuse e il condizionatore la notte faceva molto caldo. Inoltre per la stessa ragione si sentivano molto i rumori esterni di animali, motori, musica ecc. Non so per quale motivo sia stato abbassato al minimo il frigo mentre avevamo dello yogurt dentro. Capisco che si vogliano evitare gli sprechi di energia (come espressamente afferma l’host, che avvisa di applicare una extra charge in caso di uso eccessivo dell’aria condizionata) però non credo fosse opportuno o necessario.
Fijne plek, dichtbij alles maar genoeg veraf om geen last te hebben van muziek e.d. Ruime kamer en badkamer, fijn bed, zitje voor de kamer op het balkon, koffiezetapparaat. Zeer vriendelijke en hulpvaardige host. Ik kwam om te ontspannen en dat is goed gelukt. Mil gracias!

Le style de cette hôtel, notre chambre avec la douche en coquillages, la proximité du centre . Luis très sympathique qui donne pleins de tips, resto etc…
Les moustiques hahhaha mais ça malheureusement c’est leur île
Luis fue súper agradable con nosotras. Siempre pendiente de los huéspedes y atento a sus necesidades.
We had a great time staying at Casa Sophia! Communication with the owner via WhatsApp is good and the manager Luis is very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and very clean and looked just like the pictures on booking. The area is quiet and peaceful and located outside of the busy centre. We originally booked for 5 nights but decided to travel to Holbox earlier and it was no problem for us to book an extra night. Casa Sophia was a lovely ending from 3 weeks travelling in Mexico. We would definitely recommend staying here if you don’t mind a 15 min walk to the centre and beach!
Nothing!
I absolutely loved everything about my stay at Casa Sofia. From the moment I arrived, Luis made me feel so welcome. He’s incredibly friendly and helpful, which added a personal touch to the whole experience. The atmosphere was exactly what I needed for my relaxing solo trip: peaceful, quiet, and serene. It felt like a hidden oasis where I could truly unwind. The bedroom was spacious and beautifully kept, and the bed? Pure heaven. The mattress and pillows were super comfy, and the bedsheets smelled amazing—such a small detail, but it made every night feel luxurious. I slept like a baby every single night. If you're looking for a tranquil escape with warm hospitality and cozy comfort, Casa Sofia is the place. I’ll definitely be back!
Nothing, everything was great!
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, the room was a good size with a fan and aircon and fly screens. The shower was nice. I liked the decor. 10 mins walk to the harbour and similar time to the closest beach.
Could have done with cleaning on Sunday as well because of the sand/ insects/ need to empty bins.
Very clean accommodation, spacious, and very friendly host and staff. I can recommend a local family restaurant called Antojitos Paulita that is closeby
The location is a bit off, but that also means that it's quiet. So it depends on what you're looking for. It was just a 10 min walk to the more busy part of town.
I stayed at Casa Sofia from April 2-11, and I loved it so much that I stayed again from April 15-19. The owner Luis is wonderful, who was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Casa Sofia is very clean and felt like home during my stay. I would highly recommend to folks looking for excellent value for your money.
The accommodation was a good size, comfortable, clean and with a safe. I liked the ambience.
Casa Sofia is an absolute gem on Isla Holbox! The rooms are beautifully decorated and so comfortable. Luis is an excellent host - he was really kind and helpful and checked in to make sure everything was going well with my stay. The location is also really good, very close to everything but in a nice quiet spot. I would definitely stay here again and would absolutely recommend it!
Nothing! I wish I could have stayed longer!
Central location, comfortable little bungalow and super friendly host!
it is a very nice place with a wonderful few. the Apartment well equipped and has a beautiful caribic charme. luis is very nice and helpful. we absolute would recomment it and stay again there.
kitcjen equipment could be a litte more (hotplate, pan). but only if you would like to cook. fridge and coffeemaker is very good.
Very cosy and clean studio. Loved the private balcony. Luis (the host and owner) was super friendly and helpful. Could easily have stayed much longer.
Modest but with a real design sense. A comfortable bed, lots of hot water, and a good fan and air conditioner. Clean and well maintained. The proprietor was very helpful.
It is a 10 minute walk to the beach and 15 minutes to the center of the town.
This was one of our favourite stays in Mexico! It’s the perfect place for an island stay like Holbox. First of all, the rooms look better than in the photos. Real charming and well maintained! Second, Luis is a real good host with great communication. He shared some good restaurant recommendations and got lots of other tips or things he can arrange for you. Definitely recommend staying here if you want a more authentic island vibe!
Clean, beautiful and confortable

Everything is perfect!
I can’t think of a single one.
It was clean and organized. Luis an amazing person.
The street outside the property, but it is basically all Holbox when it rains gets flooded
