Wunderschöne Unterkunft am Rand des Jungels

Poncho und Jill sind super nette Gastgeber, die sich sehr bemühen, dass man eine tolle Zeit hat. Sie sprechen sowohl Spanisch als auch Englisch. Wir konnten uns auch Fahrräder bei ihnen leihen um zu den Cenoten zu fahren. Das Frühstück war super lecker und die beiden rösten selber Kaffee, so dass man auch richtig guten Kaffee bekommt. Malinche Café liegt am Ortsrand - hinter der Unterkunft kommt nur noch Jungel. Nachts schläft man zu den Geräuschen des Urwalds ein.

Get caffeinated & chat!

Comfy, clean beds, enough blankets for a cold night, mosquito nets were in good shape. We stayed in the 2nd floor, 2-bed room, with open wood structures near the roof (best for summer cooling). Ahhhmazing cappuccino. They roasted fresh coffee beans for us to buy. Very friendly, chatty couple. Good vibes! Hammocks!

*Shower for our room was in their (owners) own bathroom--felt awkward; (opt for the single room in the back on the ground floor with inside bath). *Sadly, dogs barking and locals partying in the wee hours --> insomnia. *The abused dogs barking at us along the way to their property, very sad & unsettling.

Super séjour au calme

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Coba dans cette petite cabane. La tranquillité de l'endroit nous a permis de nous évader un peu, on n'entend que le chant des oiseaux. Nous avons adoré parler avec Poncho et Jill, très intéressants, nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps pour échanger encore plus avec eux. Le burrito au petit déjeuner était exquis. Nous recommandons!

Belle expérience pour une nuit à Coba

La localisation à 20 min à pied des ruines L’expérience de dormir dans une cabane en pleine nature chez l’habitant La sympathie des hôtes et leurs disponibilités Le petit déjeuner et le café Bonne connexion wifi Possibilité de louer des vélos

Un peu cher par rapport à ce que j’ai pu avoir au Mexique Difficulté pour repartir du site (3h d’attente pour un bus).

10/10 would and have recommended.

Poncho was kind and welcoming. He made us coffee that he roasts on-site in the morning and his dog was a total sweetheart. The property was quiet and small and very comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get away and off the beaten path.

Quiet and nice.

The location is great if you want quiet place, and this we really appreciated. The host is OK if you want to prepare your own breakfast, or you can order coffee and food (we did order coffee). Coba is a small town so the few restaurants are within walking distance, as are the ruins.

There are no pictures of all the rooms, and we were surprised that the room we rented did not match at all what is shown in the photos. The room was cute but very small, and the bed was not particularly comfortable.

Comfort, great coffee and conversation a short walk from the exceptional Mayan ruins of Coba.

Pancho and Jill were the idea hosts for us: friendly, knowledgable, a great source of insight into Mexico, Mayan culture, Mayan archaeology, and, no small thing, tequila. Also, their coffee was the best we had in all of Mexico. Pancho rightly called the accommodations "rustica," and they aren't for everyone, but were perfect for us. We especially liked that the exceptional Coba Mayan ruins were an easy walk away.

For a home-feeling, bed-and-breakfast in Coba, this is the best!

The breakfasts are superb as is the coffee (that they roast on-site). They provide superb guiding services for the nearby Coba archaeological zone.

The nice property is a bit small and enclosed and there is no swimming pool. But the superb cenote bathing just 5 km away (along with the excellent free wi-fi and good breakfast and coffee) makes up for no pool!

Relaxing stay surrounded by nature with great coffee!

Lovely welcome, felt very at home and enjoyed chatting to both Poncho and Gill, who are very knowledgeable. Nice to hear about their coffee and the local food. Very quiet and relaxing place to stay in nature with an easy walk to the ruins. Also lovely dog!

We felt welcomed and relaxed.

very nice rustic cabin on the edge of the jungle. Poncho and Jill are very kind and knowledgeable and open for conversation. Walking distance from Coba ruïnes. Room is big and includes use of the terrace with hammocks, the kitchen and living room and garden area. Great for some rest and relaxation and amazing home roasted coffee.

It is rustic, so facilities like shower are somewhat basic. At night you can hear a lot of street dogs and animals, so while natural, it’s not a quite oasis so to speak.

Definitely try to stay at the Malinche Café

The hosts are friendly, happy, welcoming, and fun to chat with. Poncho's knowledge of Mexican culture and local surroundings contributed to our enjoyment of Cobá. The coffee is amazing!

I have to think for a few minutes to think of any kind of criticism because I enjoyed my stay. It was a little over our budget, but I'm glad we could afford at least one night there. A minor detail, but it would be better to have an electrical outlet next to the night table by the bed so I could charge my phone during the night and still quickly reach out of the mosquito net to shut off my alarm in the morning.

Rad rustic spot in lush location, with perfect coffee.

Cool spot. Very unique location on backstreets of a Mayan village. My kids loved staying in the palapa. Lush jungle feel. Very near Coba ruins. The owners were really fantastic to chat with. Great coffee.

It might perhaps be difficult for some to find or access; but this was a cool thing for me. Maybe it was a bit costly but not so bad.

We like the position of the hotel, close to the pyramids in Coba and at the same time at the outskirts of the village in a tranquile place almost in the jungle. We also like the owners, Gill and Poncho, we felt very welcome by them, family-like feeling. We also enjoyed the delisious espresso. You can find the best coffee in their place. We also enjoyed the shared kitchen for meetup and talks.

Lovely owners and location

The owners were very nice and kind, the location was also good. I liked the shared deck on the top floor for relaxing and the coffee.

Unfortunately the studio we booked with private bathroom didn’t quite live up to expectations. Sadly it didn’t match with booking.con description and photos, these were actually for the shared bathroom (much nicer) and the rooms which were on the top floor off the shared deck (again nicer). Feel sad I cannot rate higher as family very nice, but price paid for room compared to other properties I stayed in Mexico was a little high.

A cleanse for mind, body and soul

I love the location on the outskirts of Coba, right on the edge of the jungle. Just 10minutes from the ruins and 20minutes walk from the bus stop. The little guy I stayed in was pretty basic, but this is what I needed after Tulum and other busy places I visited. Staying there is like a cleanse for the mind. Instead of music, I enjoyed the sounds of nearby forest - crickets playing their melodies by the evening, birds singing at sunrise. The place has an excellent WiFi signal if you need to work, has a Temazcal if you want to cleanse your body too! Pancho makes excellent burrito for breakfast and the home roasted coffee is just great! I would love to come back one day and stay longer. Coba feels like a perfect countryside, still undeveloped and quiet. There is something magical about this place.

A quirky and authentic way to see a less traveled to, but lovely Yucatan town

Malinche offers a unique experience to a town that is rich with Maya history and bird watching. We loved our hosts--Poncho and Jill are warm and welcoming; they shared lots of interesting stories and gave us the chance to participate in their cultural customs, the temezcal, in a more intimate way (see photo). I'd be remiss not to mention Lassie and Phoenix, their sweet lovable dogs. The stay comes with a breakfast--fresh fruit, bread, and coffee--and was in a good location just a few min from the lagoon and a 10-min walk from the ruins. We enjoyed Malinche because it felt like a homestay, like having a special invitation to join their home. All of the units are open air to alleviate pandemic concerns.

This isn't a place for everyone. For the same reasons Malinche felt unique and special, it does not have the anonymity as a hotel does and the open-air building styles don't keep noises of the city out. The main drawback is that you can hear dogs barking at night, so if you're a light sleeper, this may be difficult.

Lovely rustic place in Coba with great hosts (and dogs!)

Really great hosts and a welcome break from touristic hotels. Excellent breakfast and coffee. cute dogs.

cold at night (as didn’t wear enough clothes - recommend dressing warm)

Very rustic, unique experience and we loved it for one night, but it definitely not for anyone.

Secluded location on the edge of the jungle, but good wi-fi/internet. Pancho and Jill were interesting and friendly hosts. The coffee was excellent and the breakfast was very good - fruit and hotcakes. It's a unique experience for a night or two. Birders might really enjoy this place.

It was a bit more rustic than we expected from the description, but we loved it. The road to the entrance was definitely rough.

A very kind and welcoming host, offering a stay in a jungle palapa close to the Cobá ruins.

The palapa is truly magical, located very close to the Coba ruins, but on the edge of town, so it is very quiet. At night I could hear a rare nocturnal bird from our room! The room was cozy, clean, and secure. I slept very well. Poncho is a very hospitable and kind host! We both enjoyed speaking with him and wish we had had more time to spend in his magical space. We hope to return one day!

I highly recommend it! Pity I could not stay longer.

It was great to stay in Malinche! I highly recommend it! The owners are very hospitable and make great coffee. Also breakfast was delicious. Cobá is a wonderful place to stay. I regret we had already booked a room in Valladolid and could not stay more in Cobá. Time passes there slowly and relaxing.

Enriching experience!

Pancho and Jill are incredible hosts and made our time in Cobá unforgettable. It‘s a lovely spot close to the jungle, in touch with nature. All those who like good coffee, spending time in good company and are interested in deep conversations about Mayan culture (or Mexican culture in general) should stop by at Malinche! PS: Cobá ruins, many wonderful cenotes and good local restaurants are very close by.

Amazing jungle-hut getaway

The little jungle-hut was perfect for a peaceful get away, so cute and with private bathroom. At night, you hear all the sounds of the jungle. Really nice and welcoming hosts, told us a lot about the history of the area and local tips, plus offered us some of their home roasted coffee!

Low water pressure in the bathroom but it’s almost to be expected from an authentic nature experience like this one :)

Literraly everything, sleeping in this area was a wonderful experience, you fall asleep hearing noises of the jungle in a beautiful place far from touristic places. Poncho and Jill are amazing people, very helpful with everything! They will share with you anything they can to make your trip perfect. You'll be able to drink their own coffee and it tastes amazing! We had a issue with our car and without them we would not have been able to sort it! Thanks again!! We miss them already!

We couldn't stay more.. :(
