After a horrible stay at Hotel & Restaurant Calakmul in Xpujil, I tried Hotel Maya Balam. What a difference! Clean, quiet, and fast wi-fi. Small free parking lot - probably can handle about 3-4 cars. Room was clean, good beds, clean sheets, and nice bathroom. Low water pressure in the sink was a bit annoying. Shower worked well.

Good quiet location (having a car helps), clean, comfortable, good wi-fi reception

When we booked the room, I already had in mind that this was just a one-night stopover. So I didn't have high expectations (rather extremely low) - in a way, the room was a pleasant surprise.
It was very big, the furnishings were ok.
The staff were friendly.

The bathroom has a terrible musty (?) smell. 
The wi-fi in the room didn't work.

For a one night-stay

Pretty poor overall. No hot water at all at any time, so no shower. Room was cleanish, shower was dirty.  But no side light, no side table, only just about warm enough with a thin fleece blanket. They didn't care there was no hot water. 

Dogs barking all night, cockrels in the morning. Very average food in the restaurant, they got my order completely wrong, then brought up chicken so overcooked I could barely cut it. Fresh juices were nice.

Worse place I've stayed in Mexico so far.

Very basic room, no hot water. 

At check-in, I paid one night out of three reserved, but the hotel did not record it. Then on the third nite, they wanted the balance… three nites, not two. I refused, and they were not interested in seeing my receipt. I walked away. 

Morning staff recognized that only two nites remained in my balance. Still stuck on being treated like a liar, I told them to call the owner for an apology more tangible than Sorry. The owner refused - hence this review.

Stay 3 Nites, Pay for 4?

I stayed here for two nights whilst visiting Calakmul. The service was friendly and my room was nice if a little noisy with all the people walking past. I had breakfast here as well which was good but with rather slow service. A convenient (not far from the ADO) and good value place to stay.

Nice sight with good rooms

Price way higher than quoted - we tried to book these rooms and they were not available 
So it was much more $$$$
Decent place - food service was slow but better than the food in town
I certainly enjoyed the area - wished I had had time for more 

2 rooms 2 days 

The rooms were great for the most part. No complaints. However, the cleaning staff arrives at 6am, and the cleaning supplies are behind loud steel doors that you can hear throughout the hotel as they open and close. I wanted to get up early. But not that early. And I would have been really annoyed if I had wanted to sleep in. Who on Earth has people coming to clean at 6am? This place. Also, it seems like the employees are worked like dogs here. It was some (maybe all?) of the same people at 11pm as 6am. Yikes!

prepare to get up early

We ended up here after fleeing from Rio Bec Dreams. Basic hotel offers value for money. Rooms are ok, airco sufficient. Staff very kind, but with limited English. Water pressure during our stay was very low, very little water from shower. The lady in the kitchen cooks a great meal. Everything is fresh, tasty and homemade, The (rather spicy) guacamole was the best we had in Mexico! The fresh juices were outstanding. The sandwiches are very nice and handy for your visit to Calakmul (2 h 15 min drive from the hotel, the last 30 km the road is very bad).

Good hotel for 1 or 2 nights

We stayed for 2 nights in Maya Balam. Great place to visit Calakmul. Our room was clean and freshly painted. AC, fan, hot water worked perfectly. The food on the ground restarant was delicious & we also got lunch boxes for our day trips. Wifi was not very strong, but ok. One morning the hot water did not work for 2h, but no compliant, we were in the dry season anyhow. 

Best place to visit Calakmul

The Maya Balam offers large rooms and a small restaurant.  The best is the hotel's proximity to Mayan ruins.  We visited the ruins of Becan our first morning and virtually had the site to ourselves.  The staff is very friendly.  Highly recommended for its value and location.
