I spent just one night at Mama's Home in Tulum early this month, but I was nicely surprised how good it was. Right in the downtown of Tulum, full of cool people from all around he world. Extremely cheap with good breakfast served to your table.

This cool little hostel is to the restaurants, shops and bars in tulum. It has an outside common area to hang in and a simple but tasty free breaky. Rooms are clean and modern, pillows not so great but beds are comfy. Overall good friendly chilled out vibe here.

I stayed here for ten days when I arrived in Tulum in mid January and I thought it was an excellent hostel and good value for money. I was in one of the private bedrooms (the first one upstairs) which cost $20 per person per night - two double beds and its own bathroom. It was clean and comfortable, though... More

The hostel itself is not bad, certainly not great but not bad. We were on a budget so stayed in the dorm, which is fine we have been backpacking before, we stayed 5 nights. The staff were incredibly rude and hostile - apart from the owner who was very nice and approachable. Unfortunately she was not there over the weekend... More

Typical hostel life, people lounging and on computers. lights out and all shut by 11pm. close to centre and bus station. Would recommend for backpack but not for mature... More

Just returned home from Tulum. My first experience in Mexico. It was great. If you like a laid back atmosphere and excellent location in the pueblo, stay at Mama's. The staff is very helpful, it's a great price, free internet use and they do a good job keeping the visitors happy and informed. It's usually quiet by 10pm! They serve... More
