Dirty, old, expensive, 1st breakfast was poor, every animals could come in the rooms, no toilets paper, 6 people in a 5 people room.we were in Tulum to rest, and we were not able to sleep properly because matresses were not good quality. The only thing which worked was Wifi!

Sorry to know that you didn´t feel comfortable at our place. Unfortunately we had to ask you (5 guests) not to eat all the breakfast that was for eleven guests, we understand that you didn´t like us to ask you to behive in a proper way, you payed us 20usd per night wich is not expensive considering that you stayed here in extremly high season.Thank you for your visit,

Madam. Monsieur
avec une grane surprise je decouvre vous critiques, tres decevantes, par raport a votre sejour dans notre auberge, je tiens a vous preciser que vous ai accueillit avec le meme enthousiasme et professionalisme que j ai accorde a mon aimable clientele de toujours. nous avons eu des excellent retours,vous avez occassioné des depenses financiéres supplementaires, sans égards por les autres, vous avez mangiez le petit dejeuner qui etait prevu pour 11 personenes, votre présence fut égalment difficile pour les autre hotes, par rappor au prix de location 20 dollars la nuit par pers n´est vraiment pas cher ici a Tulum.
Bien á vous,
Dora Flores

My friend and I paid higher rates to stay here during the high season. This place is not worth the money they are asking for it. We never actually met "Dora". We met Irma. The place looked nothing like the photos. It's not even a cabin. There were lizards and bugs all in the room. There is no air conditioning and the place is advertised as having plenty of fans. It had 1 ceiling fan that did not keep the room cool. It was so miserable in there, we couldn't sleep.

The only thing decent about this stay was the breakfast.

If you don't care about staying in a "dive" then stay here, but if you want comfort and a place to relax after a day of site-seeing, this is not the place!

I was very sick and couldn´t host this guests, That ´s why she says she never met me and she also never stayed at my place, I found this girl and her friend an alternative place to stay., Unfortunately they were drinking a lot so my friend had a very bad time with them. We are very responsable people and do not allow people drinking in our places to avoid this kind of experiences.,

I am very sorry about this situation,

we had a reservation at the calm cabins for four days and decided to extend our stay to 5! dora was delightful every day, and gave us great recommendations for cool places to go in and around tulum. each one was a big winner. she always let us know where she would be, and she was extremely flexible with our schedule. the place is beautiful, right on the edge of town. the road seems spooky but is actually always populated with families and people at all hours. breakfast each day was great, and because of the small number of people there, our stay was easy and homey and friendly. if you want a hotel experience, this place is not for you. if you want a friendly place to stay with a beautiful floral patio and rustic accomodations, you actually could not do better than calm cabins.

Room tip: There are only like 3 rooms, which is part of why its so awesome.

Calm Cabins is just off the main drag, close to the bus station, and fairly basic.

We spent 6 nights there. Our room was clean and comfortable, spacious and well-fitted. The owner-host, Dora, serves breakfast in the open area in the compound; wholesome, filling and different every day.

Dora is a gem: she knows the area well and will give any help you request.

Go chill there.

The room with private bathroom is the best. Mozy screens on all windows and doors. Excellent breakfasts, different everyday. Beautiful garden, sit and watch the 'Cinnamon Humming Birds' doing their thing or the Iguanas sunning themselves. The best is Dora, your host, who is so kind and friendly and happy to help with great local information. We will definitely be back. Thank you Dora, you are a star!
