    A little far from the town center, but very close to the bus station. Breakfasts were very good with a lot of variety. Host was helpful in getting my laundry done quickly and in finding me a tour group to the lagoon. Good size room and nice courtyard.

    The location was a bit of a walk from the centre which some might not like. However we liked the walk and could see how people lived and went about their daily business.

    Lovely staff, beautiful rooms and nice courtyard where breakfast was served. Breakfast was traditional Mexican and substantial. Also very quiet and so had good night's sleep. Beds were good quality - one soft mattress and one hard so you could chose your preference. Would highly recommend.

    We loved this place. The room was modern, nice, and super clean and there was a nice patio to sit outside. We felt at home instantly. Breakfast was really good, there are bikes to rent and the hosts are the best. They were super kind, explained possible activities in Bacalar to us when we arrived and when we fell sick they took care of us. We would always come back!

    Casa Zazil is not located downtown, so you have to walk down to the lagoon for 10-15 minutes. This wasn‘t a problem for us and we absolutely felt safe, but worth considering if you have trouble walking in the heat.

    We had an exceptional stay at Casa Zazil! Carmen went out of her way to make sure we had the best time - she even surprised us with a decorated room because it was our honeymoon! The breakfast was excellent and Carmen recommended a lot of great places (e.g. los Rápidos and she also organized a taxi there for 200 pesos). She even gave us a ride down to the lagoon when she had the time. The room was great and the water pressure in the shower the best we have encountered in Mexico. Casa Zazil also provides free water! We loved our stay there and would absolutely recommend it!

It's very well located near the the laguna and they provide all the informations you need about the tours and activities around. Bacalar has been our favorite spot in Mexico by far! I highly recommend you to stay in Casa Zazil!

    WLAN is good, but the signal was only strong enough for a video call on the terrace

    We loved this small hotel! Really friendly hosts and a nice atmosphere with very clean rooms. The breakfast is amazing and they even ask you what you prefer, which was great for us as vegetarians but must also be nice for vegans. The bed was very comfortable. Sadly we only stayed there for one night since on our way back from Mahahual and we already went to Bacalar the week before. Otherwise we would have tried all the great tips they provided. We definitely recommend staying here!

    Place was well maintained and modern. Everywhere was super clean. Sisters, Carman and Marta were super helpful providing info on what to see in Bacular, where to eat etc. The breakfast they provided each day was exceptional!,

    We contacted the owner on Monday if she could help us with renting a boat for Wednesday and in reply we received yes. When we arrived on Tuesday it appeared that is is not possible to swim with a boat on Wednesdays due to regulations of Bacalar lake.

    We really liked the property. It was within walking distance from the bus station and 10 mins walk into the centre. It was quiet, beds were really comfortable. It had a safe in the room, good air con, powerful shower & filtered water available in the reception area. The two ladies in charge were really helpful & tailored our breakfast to suit our needs. They even gave us a lift into town one evening. We loved Bacalar & our time here 😊

Location is about 5 minutes from the bus station but quiet at night. Good AC and WiFi. Distance to the center is about 15 min, but taxis will take you for 30 Pesos.

    I cannot praise this accommodation enough. The owner was so kind. She explained everything to us on arrival - what was worth seeing, what the prices were, what restaurants she would recommend. Even though she didn't speak English, she did her best. The location is great as we could walk to the city centre. The room was wonderful! Large and very tastefully furnished. The bathroom was also great. Everything was very clean. But the best thing was the breakfast! So delicious and every day we got something different. We were so happy with the accommodation (and the city) that we stayed an extra day.

    Everything was great, but in the interest of complete transparency, the location is not too close to town or the lake, so it's best if you have your own wheels.

    This place is a 10+. It's immaculately clean and extremely tastefully decorated, with a very comfortable bed and a really nice bathroom. But it's the extras and the attention of Carmen the hostess that make it extra special. She prepares a custom-made gourmet breakfast (different each morning and with a couple options) with home-made juice. My wife had a bad stomach the second day and she made a special herbal tea to cure her and gave her an electrolyte drink to help make her strong. She was the nicest and most caring hostess we've had in the last 100 places we stayed. Can't say enough good things about the place and, in particular, Carmen!

    The hosts were so friendly and helpful. They organised a boat trip for us and helped us order taxis. They also gave us a list of things to do and restaurant recommendations. Breakfast each morning was delicious. The property was about 15mins walk to the main square and we felt very safe in the neighbourhood, it was also just a 4 minute walk to the bus station which was ideal
