Kin Balam Cabanas

Fantastic hostel. A little cramped though. Perfect location!

excellent location and rooms but restaurant staff were not helpful or even bothered to bring a menu when i went, so i went across the street and had a lovely meal. Apart from that, I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful village with different accommodation levels, the room was clean confortable and the location ideal to visit Palenque. Plus the wide range of people staying there made the stay even more wonderful!

If you are visiting the pyramids at Palenque and like to stay in the jungle, this is the place. You will hear animals at night in your room but there were no bugs in the room, very clean. Working wifi and hot water. I was planning to go into town for dinner but stayed at the restaurant there and the staff was really nice and the food was good. I was glad I stayed.

This hotel is in a fabulous location with massive grounds for next to nix. The staff were fab too. On the downside the bed was uncomfortable and they leave the lights on all night long so its a tad bright making it hard to sleep. My husbands swimsuit was stolen from a chair it was drying on outside our room, but I truly think that was the rowdy backpackers coming in early in the am. We still loved the place and would stay again for the price. Beds in our opinion generally are uncomfortable in this price range.

We loved it! The animal noises, the set-up of the place, the cleanliness...all staff super friendly and super helpful. The food in their little outdoor restaurant was decently priced and food tasted good. Bunch of animals and monkeys all over the property! Loved it! First time experience being in the south of Mexico and looking forward to going back and exploring some more. Best deal for the price!

The staff was very accomodating and spoke English well. We missed our first nights reservation which was paid in advance due to bus scheduling issues, and they were able to credit what we paid to a second night. I would recommend booking in advance though because the private cabanas seem to book quickly. Otherwise, this is exactly what you would expect from a jungle lodge. The rooms are minimal but the facilities (pool, restaurant) are great. The bathrooms and showers were always clean, but hot water seems to deplete quickly. The location is perfect. Its within 2 kilometers from the ruins, museums, restaurants, ecomunde, etc. Easily walkable or hop on the frequently passing vans for about $10-$20 pesos. By the 3rd night we were ready for somewhere with AC, but overall staying here was a great experience!

Eaten alive for 4 days by bugs in the bed

Unlike other reviews, the staff for us was nice! It’s not a place for people who has problems sleeping with noises tho. Some other customers don’t care and will talk loudly in their room until 4am (thanks d**kheads). If the rooms around are quiet, don’t worry as the monkeys will also wake you up at 3am with the most horrific screams and will continue for a good 30/40min. If, only if.. you were lucky and none of that happened to you, don’t worry because the rain will fall on your thin metal roof and will keep you up for a bit. Anyway, for the price we payed, it was an overall enjoyable stay, despite the critters at night (you are in the middle of the jungle so..)
