The house is beautiful, with a spectacular view, and the service from Martín and Leslie was unbeatable! They're amazing! We really loved the place. The only thing that greatly affected our experience was the heat. The bedrooms and common areas don't have air conditioning or ceiling fans, and the tower fans weren't enough. The heat at night was unbearable; even those who slept on the top bunk had to end up sleeping on the floor. We also couldn't enjoy the common areas much because it got too hot. The manager told us that they would install ceiling fans, and I think that would completely change the experience. If they manage to install fans that really cool the rooms and common areas, we would come back again and again. The house and service are spectacular; this is the only thing that needs to be fixed to make it a 10/10. Apart from the heat, everything seemed spectacular to us, and we'd love to come back!!

We spent a family weekend at the Malinalco accommodation, and we all agreed that it's a very nice place for a getaway out of the city. Getting to the accommodation is a bit tricky. I recommend planning your food purchases well before arriving, since the nearest local stores are 20 minutes from the house and the road is a dirt road. The facilities are sufficient and in good condition. The bathrooms are very clean and impeccable. There is always paper, and they provide you with clean towels, shampoo, and body wash. The pool is amazing, large and always kept very clean. Mr. Martín and Leslie were always attentive to what we needed. They offer you the option of cleaning and cooking for an extra charge. I recommend it 100% if you want to be relaxed and not have to worry about getting up and cleaning. In conclusion, it's a 11/10 ✨

Our family enjoyed the tranquility and privacy of the space. We loved Mary's availability to talk to us every day. The stone oven pizza was delicious, and it was a great time with the family. Mr. Armando and Ms. Mary created a great experience for us. We are very grateful for their services. Thanks for these 4 days!

The house is very nice, just as shown in the photos. However, I think they could improve in terms of cleanliness, maintenance and fumigation, since there are usually many animals and insects in the rooms, such as large spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, etc. I did not like that they limited the household supplies (toilet paper, napkins). We had to go to the center, which is somewhat far away, to buy salt, paper, napkins. I was there for 4 days and, obviously, the pool got dirty in the end and they never helped me to clean it. I feel that they could improve in that. There are a lot of cobwebs that are visible and have been there for a while. The main screen is only half working. The refrigerator does not cool. The oven does not heat, or rather, both do when they want. The cost is not cheap and I think that for the price, it's the least one could ask for.

The stay in general was good. The pool is heated, the common areas (living room, dining room, pool) are very nice, and the rooms are very hot (I wish they would install AC). Getting to the house is a bit complicated, but the view is spectacular.

The house is as shown in the photos or even better, spacious, clean and with beautiful views. The pool and jacuzzi were always functional, the kitchen had everything you need for cooking, and the host and his staff were super attentive with everything we needed throughout our stay. I definitely highly recommend this place! The only thing we struggled with a bit was finding the place, but they were very responsive and came to help us.

The house is very nice and the facilities are good quality. The view of the valley is the best part of the house. The host is very friendly and accommodating. The only thing is that it's difficult to get there, and you absolutely have to take a pickup truck or you won't get up to the valley, since the road leading there is not paved. I loved the service and attention from the cleaning person and the butler. The house does not have air conditioning, only fans, so I suggest caution in the summer or hot season.

Excellent place to rest and vacation, very close to the magical town of Malinalco, excellent facilities. The house is super clean. Regarding Mrs. Mary and Mr. Armando, they were very helpful and always willing to help and resolve any issues. We recommend Mrs. Mary 100% with an additional payment. Great kitchen.

The house is very nice, more so than what you can see in the pictures, and everything was very clean. Communication with José Antonio and the people who help him was simple and clear. It's a bit of a remote place, but it's perfect for resting and disconnecting. My friends and I had a great time. We hope to return someday!

Great place, with beautiful views and good service from the staff. Highly recommended for a weekend getaway with friends and family. The only "but" I would add is that the house does not have air conditioning and at least the rooms are quite hot at night despite having fans. Apart from that, everything was excellent. Thank you so much for having us.

The house is spectacular and perfectly equipped for large groups. We enjoyed the heated pool throughout the weekend. As a recommendation, I suggest bringing everything you need, because although there are stores nearby, it is essential to get around by car. I will definitely come back on my next visit to Malinalco!"

The place is beautiful if you want to get away from everything. The photos don't do justice to how beautiful it is. A recommendation would be to put up signs or something on the way, since it is difficult to get there and almost all my guests got lost. Also, the pool floor is somewhat slippery.

The place is located a little outside of Malinalco. Follow the check-in instructions and review them in advance because the area has poor reception, and you may not be able to watch the video they send when you are on your way. The house is large and has enough space for at least 4 families. It has all amenities. In addition, they offer you cleaning service for a fee so that you can focus on resting in this wonderful place. I recommend it. It has a small tub with hot water, which is essential for the area. The garden is well maintained, and the staff who take care of the place are always attentive to your needs. I recommend bringing everything before arriving, since there are no supermarkets or stores near the house. Excellent place!

The house is very spacious with a nice view, but it needs a lot of maintenance. The cleanliness was very basic considering the price, and air conditioning should be installed. The bedrooms are like ovens in the spring, and it's also very difficult to get there the first time.
Sebastián
Excellent, 5 months ago
José Antonio is an excellent host. The house is located between the mountains and is simply spectacular; both the property and the view make the experience feel magical. That said, getting there can be a bit tricky, so I recommend doing it during the day, as it's easy to get lost at night and the signal isn't very good. It's definitely an ideal place to celebrate a birthday or a special occasion with family or friends. The staff were very friendly, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the food was also very good. Overall, I give it 5 stars. Highly recommended.

Great house, just a few details need to be fine-tuned, such as: * Fumigate because there are insects and spiders * In the master bedroom, the shower doesn't work well. Mary and Armando, who are in charge, provided excellent service. It's a beautiful house, well equipped, with a pool and jacuzzi. The temperature was excellent, and the place is worth it. I was encouraged to come back.

The house is very nice, but it's a bit far from the town of Malinalco, so you have to drive there; there's nothing to do around the house. The house is in very good condition, excellent for relaxing and not leaving the house.

We will definitely be back.

We loved the house, we went as a family and we all had a great time Mr. Armando and Mrs. Mary are very friendly and help with the cleaning and turning on the Jacuzzi and the pool, everything was very clean. The kitchen has absolutely everything, we didn't lack anything and the grill works perfectly The Ping Pong table was a Hit José Antonio and Mr. Armando were very helpful with some things we forgot in the house, they kept them for us and we returned for them days later, we thank them very much for their honesty and help The only suggestion would be that the TV in the living room is not user-friendly, we could never put our Netflix account, or any other platform, to watch a movie and the trampoline was not available

José Antonio welcomed us for a photo shoot; the house is very nice and quiet, 1000% enjoyable despite going for work.

Great place to spend time with friends and family. It's a private and quiet place to disconnect from the city. For check-in, I recommend following the instructions they give you. The kitchen is well equipped. The rooms are very comfortable and having their own bathrooms is a bonus if you go with several people. I recommend hiring the cleaning service so you can enjoy your stay to the fullest. The staff is very friendly and helpful and is always attentive to anything. Also the internet and services in general are in good condition. 100% Recommended.

Danny

Overall very good. Points to improve, there was no hot water at times. We killed 5 scorpions so they need to fumigate more. And the house requires better maintenance, there is dampness on many walls. The pool is a little cold. Her very friendly staff.
Angel
Good, 10 months ago
The house is very nice and has everything described in the listing. The only points to improve are: the pool heating. The jacuzzi was very hot but the solar panels are not enough to heat the pool (it was 25 degrees and partly sunny during the day), so maybe they could offer another additional heating method. Another point to improve is that there was no hot water in the master bedroom. We discussed it the next day with the person who takes care of it, but he only said that they were going to check it, and on the 3rd day it was still not hot either, they only said that they had just fixed the boiler but apparently it was not working well. Finally, the directions to get to the house could be better, we couldn't find several of the landmarks or signs that come in the guide. Outside of that everything was very good. We recommend hiring Mrs. Mary for cleaning and food, the pizzas in the stone oven are highly recommended.

The house is beautiful, with amazing views. We had a super fun family weekend. José Antonio was super kind with the requests I made, I really appreciate it. The last 700m to get to the property are quite complicated dirt roads, especially at night or in the rain, take this into account. There are 3 houses with a garden and a private pool each and a common area with games, a fire pit, etc. The houses are separated by a small fence, we had some noise in the morning with the neighbors who had a party / event. I am very grateful to José Antonio for all his attention and to the staff who work at the house.

The staff is always attentive and there is even the possibility of extending their service for an extra cost, which helps you to worry only about relaxing. Very well-equipped house and perfect for not going out and just enjoying yourself. We really appreciate being able to travel with pets. The only detail is the internet signal that is intermittent, but it is understandable due to the area where the house is located. We had a great weekend, we would definitely come back.
Daniela

The house is very nice, clean, with a spectacular view and everything is very well cared for. We had a very pleasant weekend with our friends, and Mr. Martin was very helpful at all times, always willing to help with anything. Some areas of opportunity that could improve the experience: • The access road from the highway is in very poor condition; even one of the vans had a flat tire when it arrived. • We were almost a whole day without Internet. • The listing mentions 6 rooms, but there are actually 5, as the sixth is a service room and we did not have access to it. Apart from those details, the house is beautiful, comfortable and with an amazing view. Without a doubt, with some adjustments it could be a perfect experience.

The place is in very good condition and is the same as the photos advertised. Martin's service is good and he's always available. The only issue was that those who rented the house next door did not respect the loud music schedules (they turned it off at 2-3 in the morning) and there is very little privacy between the two houses (a 1 meter high fence)

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, Casa Mantra in Malinalco is the place! ✨ The house is lovely, but the real star is the breathtaking landscape that embraces it. It is impossible to capture in a photograph the grandeur of the view; it leaves you breathless. It is a visual spectacle that changes with the sun and fog, and connects you with nature in a magical way. The staff is very friendly and helpful, which perfectly complements the beauty of the place. It was a great experience. I would definitely come back without hesitation!

The house is beautiful, well kept, clean, spacious.. the kitchen is very well equipped with all you need to cook for large groups. We really enjoyed our time there. We loved the pool and jacuzzi temperature, it was always warm (we paid the extra fee to heat it up and it was so worth it). Antonio was very responsive. It is a bit uncomfortable having people coming over but understandable for the pool maintenance. My only “complaint” is that you should leave the kitchen clean and do all the dishes before you leave. There is no dishwasher and we are paying a cleaning fee.. so it didn’t make sense to me, but apparently that is the rule unless you are paying for Maria’s cleaning service. We would love to be back :)

The Mandala House is compact and efficient. It has many activities for all ages. The pool is medium-sized and is located in such a way that it integrates with the other outdoor activities and can be seen from the living room-kitchen (thinking of families with small children). It's very nice to go for a walk or run in the countryside surrounding the house. The kitchen is spacious and has a wood oven (we made delicious pizzas)! Mary, who helps in the house and kitchen, is a 10! We went with a group of 16 people. We fit well. Now, the house does feel like it's made for rent (we feel it's missing a more personal touch) and it needs some specific updates. In general terms, it was a very good deal in "value for money", the host José Antonio was very attentive, the service in the house was excellent, and in short it was a trip to remember.

The house is amazing, Antonio has good communication. It meets expectations, only that getting there is VERY VERY complicated because of the dirt road, especially if you have a car. The check-in instructions seem precise but they are not, I would recommend placing ads. We didn't have electricity in the house or pool for a whole day. The caretaker is friendly.
Sandra

The house is beautiful and super functional! We had an amazing time! It's complicated to get there. The instructions they send are very useful, but since it's a dirt road, if it rains it gets muddy. You have to arrive by van or a car that's not so low (especially in rain). Ideal to bring everything you need and not go out!
