Excellent, 1 month ago

This place really makes you feel like all is right in the world. Great view in all directions. Pure magic. Wish I was still there.

The house is exactly as described in the listing, very nice; the pool is pleasant; the rooms are very comfortable; the communication is excellent; the people are very nice; overall, it was very good. We would definitely come back.

The house is very nice architecturally, but it lacks good pillows, slightly warmer bedding, not so thin, and showers that work well. Certain things are very limited: napkins, dishwashing soap... The grass is very dry. I understand that they don't water it to save water, but it would be good to warn people because you can't even walk barefoot from the pool to the house. I understand that insects come out because of the heat, but cockroaches in the kitchen is a problem. I suggest that there be a TV since many people go with family: a series at night, soccer, etc.

Host Response

Additional blankets are available in all rooms (although during your stay it was over 30 degrees during the day). There are no cockroaches, one could have entered (which was what you reported), in any case the quarterly fumigation was brought forward. As I mentioned, due to the fire of almost 1 month in the Tepozteco at the base of which the house is located, the watering was reduced to 1 time per week, unfortunately a green lawn requires daily watering.

Excellent house, highly recommended and with a very nice view of the town. Instead, it's a little further from the center, which isn't necessarily bad for the peace and quiet. The people who help in the house are great, they make the stay very pleasant. In cold weather, the water doesn't come out hot at all times, as it's a solar heater. It's more like warm water. I would definitely come back to this place.

Host Response

Thank you for your feedback, about the hot water, additional to the solar heater there is a step heater and recently a pump was installed to increase the pressure, so hot water should come out in two showers at the same time without a problem, I wish you had commented during your stay for it to be reviewed. Regards

Everything was perfect!

The house is very nice and huge. There are lots of plants and beautiful views. Mr. Ricardo was very kind and was always attentive to us. The only problem with the house is the external access, the street to enter is very ugly and not all taxis want to go up and a low car can get damaged.

Host Response

In the listing it is warned that the house is in the foothills of the hill (a highway is not expected) and that the arrival is by a terrace street, unfortunately during the rainy season they are made bumps. I'm sorry to hear that you rated the house negatively.

The natural surroundings of the house are stunningly beautiful (views and sounds of birds), and that doesn't make its interior any less comfortable; on the contrary, each of the house's spaces is extremely comfortable, highly functional, and well-equipped… plus, they're new… The pool was the best... perfect temperature... size, and the Jacuzzi completes the experience (we could even stay inside until nightfall...). You can order practically anything from local delivery services (by motorbike), and they arrive immediately... Terrace and viewpoint... Wow!!! In my opinion, the purpose of the space is to stay and enjoy it in a relaxed way, not to be coming and going to the town... or only occasionally...

Very good service, Makawi is always attentive, and the house is comfortable, spacious, and spotless. Highly recommended.

This house is surrounded by natural beauty everywhere, situated at the base of the mountains looking down into the valley of Tepo. The view of the sunset behind the mountains on the other side of the valley is pure magic every night. The house is remote and peaceful and the kitchen is well-equipped. There is no need for a car if you bring everything you need. A taxi from the bus station to the house is $100-120 MXN and about 15-20 min. The house is a destination; ideal for guests who want to be closer to nature than to the restaurants, bars, mercados, etc. in/near Centro. The owner and on-site property manager were very responsive and helpful.

Makawi is a great host. She made sure everything was alright with our stay, helped us arrive, and helped us locate a supermarket nearby. I have no words to describe the amazing place we stayed in. It was all we needed, we were amazed by all the details that made our stay feel like at home. From Esteban (who is very kind and willing to help out with any problem (and we had non) to the amazing kitchen utensiles, to the view, to everything. We’d love to come back! We had such a great time, and we’re greatful for Makawi trusting her beautiful house to us. An experience beyond words.

I'm so glad to read that you felt at home! It's always a pleasure to welcome great guests like you. We look forward to seeing you back soon!

A great stay! Very friendly host, the house is very nice, comfortable and clean. Everything in order and without any problems, we will certainly return! The only thing to take into account is that to get there you have to go in a car that is not very low because of the cobblestones that you have to take, a small detail, but it is worth that journey to get to this house. By the way, the view you have is amazing! Both towards the mountain and towards the village. We were there on New Year's Eve and you can see the fireworks that are launched all over Tepoztlán. A lot of tranquility in this house :)

This is a stunning house about 90 minutes outside Mexico City - my family (two adults, two kids ages 11 and 14) stayed at the end of a 10 day trip to the city. It is more gorgeous than the pictures, comfortable beds and bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, fast WiFi, so many beautiful spaces indoors and out. The pool is heated and my kids spent hours in it. Honestly, there are such breathtaking vistas out every single window that you could spent the day just rotating your chair occasionally. The house feels isolated, but is about a 15 minute drive into town for food, markets, shopping, hiking, etc. We went into town for a bit each day, but if you brought enough food you could just stay at the house and be happy. Makawi's communication was excellent, which was helpful given that it is definitely a challenging spot to find! Hoping to be back at some point down the road.

This is our second stay with Makawi in the Atongo valley. Absolutely perfect place. We will be back very soon!

The house is amazing, modern and very well-kept facilities. It is the perfect place if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, since it is on the slopes of the hill and, although access is complicated for the same reason, it is well worth it to be able to enjoy the peace that surrounds the place. If you bring the groceries, the house comes with everything to stay there without having to leave. Communication with Makawi is excellent and Don Esteban is attentive to whatever is needed on site. I highly recommend this place if you want to be away from it all or if you go to any social events in any of the area's event gardens.

I am happy to know that you enjoyed your stay, thank you so much for your feedback and it will be a pleasure to welcome you again!

The place is super cute and with a great view of all of Tepoztlan, which makes you have an unforgettable evening. 100% recommended

Highly recommended. Great house, with an amazing view to any side that you turn, the green areas are well cared for, the pool is somewhat temperate but very nice, the house was fumigated and with very good maintenance, The arrival is a little complicated since it is a lot of terracería with stones on the way, but once you arrive you no longer have to leave for anything, there is a person who welcomes you, very friendly and I help us with everything we needed during the stay.
