Hostal Mulut Tulum

It was a calm hostel. I stayed only for a night and barely saw any other guests. I liked the cats and dogs, though the cats were fighting in the middle of the night and woke me up. Staff was friendly!

That you can't rent a bike for less than an entire day

I chose a single room. The room was quite big. It has A/C which you need at Tulum.I stayed for 5 nights in total. I would have given it 5 stars if it was not for the cons I experienced. The kitchen is big enough and has enough space in it to cook, fridge to leave your things. They have hammocks and chairs to sit in the garden. The owner is pleasant and seems like a nice lady. She gave me a better rate when I extended for more nights.

Now the cons are two but major ones: Mosquitos! They have a lot of mosquitos in the kitchen and toilet area. I have around 60-80 bites in the space of 5 days (most happened first 2 days). When I say mosquitos- u can see them in the bathrooms a couple flying around you. I sent a picture to one of my friends and she thinks some were from fleas. There are cats and dogs, which are being looked after but do not know about fleas. I am already with some sensitivities and allergies which makes me more prone to get allergic reaction. I had 3 types of mosquito repellent, got a cream and pills as my feet swollen from the alergic reaction and the heat! In hindsight, I should have left for another place. This is my fault. Second thing- book your tours with someone else. I enquired about a tour and waa going to book it. She last minute the lady at the reception told me it is 10 dollara more expensive. When I talked to other people on the tour- they paid the original price I wad quoted. Just go around and check who will offer best price. She also did not have change at some point and never remembered to give me the difference. If it was one or the other- I will let it slide, but all together is a bit too much for a coincidence. Also, only one of the bathrooms has good water preasure.

It was cosy, original with cats and very friendly dog

Wifi was very weak in distant rooms and mobile data was 3G there also.
