I was celebrating my birthday, the space is immaculate, perfect for family celebrations or a group of friends. There were 6 of us, the design is amazing! Everyone had their own space, the beds are comfortable! The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities. The couch is large enough for 6, comfortably, to watch a show on the smart tv. The AC works perfectly. The lighting inside and outside are beautiful. The air in the house is clean and fresh. We enjoyed the pool and all the plants surrounding the pool. We didn’t use the grill, but it’s a great option for cooking. The laundry room is in the 2 car garage, also clean. Becca, Mike and Cory were very responsive for questions, they also checked in to see how things were going. There are QR codes with recommendations.I really appreciated being able to drop my bags off at their office prior to checking in. They delivered them to the house! I’m looking forward to my next visit to Merida to stay @ Casa Mariposa again! Highly Recommended!!
The house is just like the photos. Everything matches the description.
Great house, very roomy, very pretty, super equipped and hosts were very attentive.
The house was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the place was clean and welcoming. The host was great at responding to us.. we had a hard time at check in with the code, so they came to meet us in 5 minutes. They had great recommendations for the area. The house was close enough to the center by car. The house was private and felt safe.
The house is beautiful! As shown in the photos, the kitchen has everything you need to enjoy a stay with family or friends, very clean bathrooms and very comfortable bedrooms. It could be even better if they had curtains in the rooms, even though there are walls and/or vegetation, the light comes in, preventing a more pleasant rest. The wifi has very good coverage, very central location 8-10 minutes from downtown and places of interest. The vegetation in the pool area creates a very nice atmosphere. The house has a very good layout, offering a feeling of spaciousness and each space is designed to make us feel at home. We had an amazing time, thank you so much! Regards! :)
Very clean. Great communication. Place exactly as described. Looks even better in person. Kids loved the pool.
Excellent stay! The house was large, comfortable, in a nice area and perfect for a large group like ours. The hosts were extremely responsive, making communication so easy.
Amazing place for our family pre-Thanksgiving weekend! Everything was great!
Fantastic hosts and fantastic home! Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
This house was immaculate!! Seeing the house in person is much more incredible then seeing the photos. First thing I always observe in every house I stay is the cleanliness and this house was spotless. We felt so comfortable sleeping in white clean sheets, sitting down in the sofa to watch movies and able to cook food. It felt just like home. The host was very attentive, even sending us the week events of town attractions and favorite restaurants. Overall, if you are visiting Meridad this home will be just for you. 5star House, if I could rate it a 10 I would. We cant wait to go back to Merida and spend more days in this beautiful home. Sincerely, Sandra
We loved this house! It was 10 of us 5 adults, 5 kids and it was perfect. Looks just like the pictures. Modern home, Very clean, very responsive hosts. The pool was just right! AC in every room, including living room!
Casa Mariposa is a true gem in Centro Merida. Our family was very comfortable there in the quiet and private location. The house itself is beautiful and well appointed. The Guidebook was full of great recommendations for restaurants and other activities. The property manager was very responsive and was even able to arrange in home massages for us on short notice. Check in and out was simple and stress free. I highly recommend and hope to visit their other properties in the future.
Amazing stay! We were all blown away. The hosts and the space are truly above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone.
My family and I truly had a great time at this property during the New Year holiday. The house was comfortable and looked exactly like the pictures. The staff was extremely helpful and made check in a breeze. The area was within minutes of driving to a restaurant, bakery or mall. We would definitely return. A true gem!
We had a magical family reunion for Christmas, I look forward to visiting Mérida again and would always recommend the entire team at Burro Y Flauta! The quick response for any questions or problems was unbelievable, I have never had such a 5 star experience at an Air B and B. Thank you!!
Such a beautiful house, we felt right at home. We had fun in the pool, great kitchen to cook in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Will rent again if I’m ever in Mérida Mex.
Very beautiful house. Very responsive and attentive host. Thanks so much for this stay.
We had a very pleasant experience. The house accommodations fit our needs. The rental company was very professional and communicated well with us. We would stay again.
Great place to stay in Merida. It is a beautiful home with easy access to everything in Merida. Host team was always available for any question or recommendation. Check in/check out was a breeze.
Very beautiful house! The pictures on the the website are exactly as it looks. As soon as you walk in the design of the house is amazing. The house is spacious in every room it had. With each room having its own restroom which made it great for 8 people. Plus it didn’t feel like we where 8 people in the house, its big enough to have more guest. Everything we needed to wash, make coffee, or drink water. Was provided by the host. Which was great to make us feel right at home.
We recently stayed at Casa Mariposa in Merida, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The property exceeded all expectations with its stunning views, clean and comfortable accommodations, and thoughtful amenities. The location was perfect, offering both the tranquility of a private retreat and the convenience of nearby attractions and local culture. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring that every detail of our stay was taken care of. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The space was beautifully decorated, with plenty of room for our group to relax and enjoy our time together. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals when we chose to stay in. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway in Mexico, I highly recommend staying at Casa Mariposa. We can’t wait to come back!
A gem in the middle of Merida, beautiful, comfortable, everything close by. I'm happy to return soon.
We loved our time at la Casa Mariposa. The house was truly gorgeous with all the needed amenities to survive the Merida heat. The ByF team were incredibly responsive and proactive in helping us. We had a large group with kids, and we were pleasantly surprised at how well the sound was insulated for such an open concept. I'd recommend Casa Mariposa to anyone!
The hosts were very responsive to our needs about anything that came up to our trip. The house was clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend!!
A unique and beautiful house. Clearly Casa Mariposa is well cared for. It is bright and airy throughout yet has good privacy. Perfectly clean. Nice appliances and finishes. Pool was refreshing. The house has great air conditioning, which was much needed. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots and pans and the like, though lacks a dishwasher. Coffee supplies were provided, and olive oil, but no other cooking staples. Easy parking. Responsive hosts. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise because there is a rooster who lives behind the house who crows in the wee hours (like 3am). The house is in Barrio Santiago, within walking distance to a convenience store and the local market. Too far to walk to the Cathedral or Paseo de Montejo area not because it’s a super long walk but because Merida is a scorching blast furnace and walking more than a block or two in the daytime is a hot, sweaty, miserable experience. (Was above 100 F the first week of April)
Mariposa house is lovely and comfortable, with some cool architectural features. We were 6 friends traveling together and the house suited us very well. There were 5 large bedrooms, each with comfortable beds and nice closets. The best part was the glassed in gardens in each room. The bathrooms were well stocked, and each had a large shower. The shared living space was perfect for us, compact but had everything we needed. The outdoor space is beautiful and tropical. The pool was pristine clean when we arrived. in fact, the whole house was spotless. The management were extremely responsive and always got back to us immediately. They were very accommodating in all ways. Gracias Becca and Alberto!
We were super happy in the butterfly house, super nice and super clean
The place is as described in the app and they were always attentive to what it required
Great stay in Christmas 2023 - Becca and the team did an outstanding job if welcoming us. The concierge service was great from shopping to Christmas tree decoration to tours and transfer and a private chef which was our best meal by far. The tours and transfers organized by Pepe were superb and in addition to the professionalism, he was also great company and very entertaining. Location is about a 10-15 to the very centre but it is a safe and interesting walk in, with lots of coffee shops / markets and boutiques on the way. Merida itself is a great town with lots to see and do and represents the best of Mexico. Thank you Becca and team for everything!
Inconspicuous from the outside, a gem from the inside. Better than the pictures. Kitchen top! Communication with Becca and Beto was excellent. Quiet location but very central, 40-50 MXN with Uber to Plaza Grande. Oxxo and SuperAki around the corner Pool a highlight for the kids, perfect for our weekend in Mérida. I would be happy to come back.
The house is very nice with 5 very spacious and comfortable bedrooms, very well equipped with excellent care and a very good location. They recommended us to a chef who made us very good breakfasts
Absolutely stunning place. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Host went above and beyond with responsiveness.
I loved the house, the attention and everything in general , we were delighted that we are already planning to return
Mariposa was fantastic! We traveled to beautiful Merida for a wedding. 7 days with 8 people. We all fitted comfortably and felt right at home. We dreaded going back. Everything was as is and reflected what was listed. Will definitely be back here.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience during my stay at this Airbnb. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The host went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The property itself was stunning, with tasteful decor and all the amenities one could ask for. The attention to detail was remarkable, from the cozy bedding to the well-stocked kitchen. The location was perfect, offering both a peaceful atmosphere and easy access to local attractions. I was truly impressed by the cleanliness and organization of the space. I can't thank the host enough for making my trip memorable and seamless. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway.
We were in Merida for 7 nights and stayed at Casa Mariposa. It is exactly as the pictures describe. The place is very spacious and comfortable. We had more than enough of everything: towels, toilet paper, soap, mosquito spray, laundry detergent, etc. The kitchen was well stocked. Becca greeted us and showed us the place. B&F made a group chat to ensure we had effective communication with them. We used it often for getting questions answered and to resolve a couple of issues that came up during our stay all of which were immediately resolved and B & F. They were very attentive to ensuring that we had everything we needed during our stay. The air conditioning works very well, especially during very warm weather. It was great not having to worry about anything during our stay. We really enjoyed our vacation and our family of 9 had more than enough room to feel like we each had our own space but still connected. Friendly management team with great communication!! Will come back!
Great vacation home to stay at! It’s beautiful and the host was awesome, very informative. We rented this airbnb for 12 guests total with kids and it was perfect.
We had an amazing time staying in Mariposa. This beautiful home perfectly fit our six adults and four kids with room to spare. The pool was a big hit, especially during those hotter days. The neighbors are very friendly and gave us some great recommendations on cafés, and restaurants. All walking distance. The staff at B&F were very friendly and responded to any questions we had in a timely manner. We cannot wait to return to Merida and stay at a Burro y Flauta home.
Beautiful, modern home and very comfortable! Host was top-notch and very responsive. Air conditioning was very powerful in every room. Pool was immaculate and cool. Walking distance to the Plaza and the local market. Only 30 min Uber ride to the beach. Had an issue with the water and host had it fixed within hours. Great experience; will come back!
Perfect house for any type of vacation! Very well equipped, you really don’t have to take much to feel like at home. Me and my friends had great communication with the hosts and responded to questions and recommendations within minutes
It was an unforgettable family vacation, everything was very nice, clean and comfortable, the bathrooms, the kitchen is very well equipped and spacious for the 9 people we went, the pool with the warm water always wanted to take a dip. Very good attention from Mr. Beto and attentive to us, thank you for your time and cordial help. We can't wait to return with God's favor.
Amazing all around. We had 8 people comfortably stay. Not only was the location ideal, a concierge came with it, along with recommendations on what to do, where to eat, and things to do. The concierge was a spectacular service, he was patient, flexible and helped us with recommendations, booking reservations and tours, and being on stand by for us. We felt like we were home, and we didn’t want to leave. We will be recommending this place to everyone and hope we can return to Merida and stay with Burro y Flauta again.
This house is a vacationer's DREAM! The house is truly a work of art and you feel like you're staying in a private paradise! The house has everything one could need and want. We were even provided with welcome drinks! We were a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for everyone! The pool was amazing and there were plenty of beach towels provided for the group. Becca, the property manager had great communication prior to, during and after our stay. Beto, the concierge welcomed us at the Air BnB, gave us a great tour of the house and walked us through their extensive guide book filled with amazing recommendations and local resources. We had a driver for most of the weekend, but the home is near many amazing squares, restaurants and shops that we felt very safe walking to. There is also a supermarket a few minutes away that had everything we needed for the week! If you are going to be staying in Merida, we 10/10 recommend you stay here!

Thank you so much for your kind words about your stay at Casa Mariposa. We appreciate that you took the time to write a detailed review. It really helps us with future guests! When you return to Mérida, please let us know. We provide special discounts for our return guests. Saludos, Becca
This place is gorgeous! We had 3 families. The kids loved the pool, and the bunk room was perfect. We also ate a meal they provided for a fee. It was amazing!! We were pretty happy visiting family so did not need a lot of recommendations, but she offered them. I’d stay again for sure
The butterfly house is very comfortable and enjoyable. Everything is very clean and nice. They are very friendly and always willing to help. It's definitely worth it, we had a very nice time there.
The house is fantastic. It looks just like the pictures and was super clean. The concierge was more than responsive, responding very quickly and helping us book day trips for a good price. We had 6 adults and two kids and had plenty of space. The neighborhood is not very clean and getting to centro is a bit of a walk (20 mins) but Uber was cheap and easy to use.
Beautiful place to stay. Beds are comfortable, pool and outdoors space is gorgeous, and kitchen is very well stocked. We really enjoyed staying here and wish we could have stayed longer. Host was really accommodating and had welcome gifts for us. One of the bed frames was slightly loose and they came to fix it immediately. Very good attention to detail, very clean. Loved it, would highly recommend.

Perfect place for transformation 🦋 The entire stay was amazing! The photos are great but seeing it in person was truly fireworks! Gorgeous layout and architecture. A private space with open spacious layout. The B&F staff were highly responsive and extremely helpful during our stay. We used the guidebook that was provided like it was a "vacation bible". We opted to have a farewell dinner hosted by B&F and it was the perfect addition to our already wonderful experience there. Location is within walking distance of everything you'd need and if not, DiDi or Uber are available for cheap rides. We paid an average of $3-5USD for all of our trips. Paseo Montejo had great shops, a market and restaurants to hop around to on Saturday night along with a festival. Truly grateful we opted to stay here during our first trip to Merida. Exceptional service and wonderful owners!
Absolutely a great experience from booking through check-out. We had a group of 9 for a long weekend for a wedding and it was the perfect house for us. Great communication throughout for anything we needed and the in-person check-in with Beto was very helpful to show us the place. House was extremely clean with nice amenities and the attached bathrooms was a good set up for us all. Included helpful touches like many hangers, spots for charging devices, extra pillows, and pool towels. Ubers to any area are cheap ($2-5 USD) and take about 10-15 minutes to arrive. The garage was helpful for our rental car as well. Highly recommend renting or arranging a car service to visit the Cenotes Hacienda Mucuyché (about an hour away) which lasts about 2 hours. Book your spot in advance if you need an English speaker. Thank you Becca and Beto for a great few days in Merida!
Awesome!! Beautiful, beautiful property. Clean, spacious and modern. Prepare to be amazed. Great host, fast responses and very attentive! Good information with easy instructions for check in, during the stay and before check out. I highly recommend this property. I will definitely stay there again the next time I'm in Merida. -Ric.
Amazing stay at Casa Mariposa!! The Burro Y Flauta team was super responsive and helpful. The concierge was amazing and helped us plan outings and departures to the airport. Truly top tier hospitality!!! Cannot wait to come back to Mérida!
Excellent! We really enjoyed our stay, the house very comfortable and the spaces invite coexistence, which is just what we were looking for.
The best stay I've ever had on Air BnB, of course. The service, the service, the details, the place. Everything was excellent. Everything was taken care of, thinking that one sits on a luxury stay. It was best for me and my family. Thanks!
We had a wonderful stay in July 2022 at Casa Mariposa. There were 8 of us and all were comfortable. The staff went out of their way to ensure that we were enjoying our time and that we had everything that we wanted and needed. The only complaint that I might have is that the location is a little far from the plaza, restaurants, and shopping. Merida was VERY hot and humid, so the 20-30 minute walk was too much. We rented a car anyway so we just drove to the city center.
Great location, easy check-in / check-out process, Guide book with lots of recommendations. Overall our stay was wonderful.
We had a lovely time at casa mariposa, we were very well taken care of and the home was absolutely lovely.
Our time at this home was amazing. The house was better than we expected. Very updated, modern and included all amenities to make our time very comfortable. Becca and her team helped us shop for groceries, book travel and gave lots of recommendations for things to do. We would definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing stay at your villa. The aesthetic and decor of the house is amazing. Alberto was the absolute best Concierge Manager and was very resourceful. If you are looking for a great place in Merida Centro, look no further.
This was the best airbnb house I’ve ever stayed in. Highly, highly recommended. Check-in was as easy as it gets and house itself is incredible. We were with a group that included 2 architect couples and they were all blown away by the layout and design of the house itself. There were four couples and two kids and the bedroom layout worked perfectly for our group. Each bedroom is very private and the public space, courtyard, and pool are all perfectly sized for groups like ours. Merida is an incredible place and this spot was walkable to any of the places we wanted to visit. This place rules, well done to the owners.

Thanks so much for your kind words about Casa Mariposa, Joel! We will be adding this review to our favorite reviews that we share in our promotions. We hope to you all again during your next trip to Mérida!
The house was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and fully equipped with everything my kids and I needed for our week’s stay there. Host Becca and house manager Beto anticipated and took excellent care of our every need. Beto went above and beyond to print paperwork for us, arrange a housecall from a doctor, Covid tests for us to be performed at the house, and everything else we needed. The response time of Beto and his crew was practically instantaneous. We were so impressed and are so grateful. I was quite nervous about traveling alone with my six kids (and only speaking a little Spanish), but Beto and Becca made everything as stress-free for us as possible. Beto (who speaks better English than we do) met us at the house and gave us lots of helpful info and resources for a great stay. The house is in an extremely safe, friendly, and quiet neighborhood. It was a very easy walk to lots of plazas, restaurants, and shops. We could not have asked for a more beautiful house, better location, or more accommodating hosts. This was the best family vacation we’ve ever taken. We hope to get back there soon. Thank you, Becca and Beto!
We has the best experience at Casa MARIPOSA! Beto was on point with everything we needed and accessible if we needed anything our entire stay. You won't be disappointed booking this place! you get the entire charm of Merida in this place. Clean, safe, comfortable and very private location. 100% recommended! Can't wait to return.
A group of friends and I stayed at Casa Mariposa for one week. There was 7 of us in total and the house was perfect for a group. Beto and Becca were both extremely helpful throughout the stay and kept our luggage in their offices so we could explore Merida. The house was very clean and exactly as advertised on the posting. Would definitely recommend staying in any of their accommodations :)!
House is beautiful! The host provided plenty of information about our visit beforehand and check-in/ check-out was painless. The location was super convenient, wifi was very good, and we felt safe during our stay.
Excellent house in the center of Merida. We recommend it 100%.
Incredible place, super spacious, fun, and close to the downtown area. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
This is a beautiful place, centrally located. The host was super attentive and available. They had suggestions on places to visit and where to eat. We had a great time. Thank so much Burro y Flauta!
Excellent property and even better service! Everything was luxurious, 10 out of 10!
Great location, beautiful clean home, great service, definitely recommended.
We spend four days at Casa Mariposa and we didn't want to leave! We were 6 adults and 2 kids and the house had plenty of space. We met with extended family to celebrate a birthday and a couple of days we had guest over, sitting outdoor by the pool there was plenty of room for everyone, and the kids loved the pool. Becca and her team have designed such a wonderful space to make sure your stay is memorable. The house is beautiful. It was spotless and had everything you could need away from home; without making you feel you are at someone else's house. The beds were comfortable. The closet space was perfect for a long stay, plenty of hangers and drawers. Each bedroom had a desk if you need to work while on your stay, and the wi fi worked well. We did not prepare meals at the house, yet for what I saw it is well set up for cooking meals, and the dinning table is large enough for every one to seat together. The location is good, walking distance to downtown. If you like ice-cream, make sure to visit Pola Gelato, walking distance. We had a couple of unexpected maintenance issues that were solved within the hour, their team is very responsive and professional. We will be happy to come back to one of their properties next time we visit Merida.
Well, five stars ⭐️ and more stars ⭐️ !! If you need a great place to stay, security, calm, location; this is the place. One thing that I noticed is that all the appliances and electronics are state of the art; like: Harman & Kardon sound bar system, you can enjoy movies after a productive day, great AC in every single square feet of the house, pool with jets, kitchen with state of the art appliances and all the utensils you need (thank you), garage for two cars, keyless entry main door system, great internet speed; in other words, don’t look further more and rent this property.
Host Response
Thanks for the terrific review. On the name Burro y Flauta, when my parents were looking for their house, they mentioned to their real estate broker that it was "serendipity" that they found the broker and the house that they ended up buying. His english was excellent but he didn't know the word serendipity. When they explained that it meant surprising good fortune, he said that it was like the story of the burro and the flute. Google the burro flautista and you will find it. Anyway, when the time came to name their company they had to think of unusual names and Burro y Flauta (or serendipity) was born.
The attention of the management of the house is very good, they provide suggestions of places to eat or to visit, they leave you data for an emergency doctor and it has an excellent feeling of anger from an accident. The house is very nice and comfortable to spend a few days either with family or friends. The bedrooms are of a good size, the pool is good size although in its photos it looks small, its windows are beautiful, although for my taste if they require a polarized it is too much light, the proximity to the center of Merida is excellent, it is about 15 minutes walking, and by car it is less.
This home is really beautiful with plenty of space for your family - or several families. We had a group of 12 and we were perfectly comfortable. The hosts were AMAZING and helpful with all our needs. We appreciate the way they checked on us and kept in touch as needed during our stay.
Pleasant stay, very clean place, comfortable to rest, in my case I expected a property with more space for recreation, the photos are seen in the enlarged or amplified images and the reality was different, I took a group of 9 people and we lacked common areas. The shape and size of the pool did not allow the 9 people to be inside. It was my mistake not to ask for the dimensions of the areas, immediate attention and very good.
The house is WONDERFUL. It feels fancy with a grand entry. Every single part of the house is nice- the classy front sitting entrance, cozy living room, large dining table, functional kitchen and perfect bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool was a great refreshing way to take a break from the heat of the day. My family and I stayed at Casa Mariposa for a few nights while exploring Merida and I cannot recommend it enough! The communication with the host before and during the trip was excellent. The check-in & check-out process was straightforward and thoroughly explained. I highly recommend this home for anyone who plans to visit Merida. You won’t regret it!
My experience with the Airbnb was outstanding, from the very beginning they were nothing but helpful and welcoming. The house was even better than the photos, super clean. If I’m ever back in mierda, I’d 100% stay here again.
Wonderful! From communication weeks before arriving, to the last day. Beto is very attentive, it was an amazing weekend, the house is really beautiful, clean , modern, helped us with everything. And for food, the best chef in Merida, Alex Mendez and his team, gave us the service. Everything excellent!! We would return a thousand times.
Casa Mariposa was an absolute pleasure. From the moment you walk through the smart door into the open foyer the house welcomes you with its open terrace, huge double garage with a massive washer and dryer to the wall of windows bringing you from the pool into the living room and dinning room area with a well-crafted metal design. You're in one of the oldest neighborhoods of Merida in a modern and beautifully architected new home. The house had everything we needed and is spacious enough for 2 couples or a large family or group. I loved the small touches in the design with each bedroom having plants (with automated watering system) outside of the windows to bring that outdoor feeling in but there was still a nice level of privacy for each space so you can all come together or have your own private time. The massive upstairs master suite is amazing and really its own respite area with comfy beds for a sound sleep. I had to work each day and the internet held up on connectivity and speeds while using multiple devices/video and having the SmartTV streaming which is hard to find in Merida let alone many other cities. Beto (house manager) is the friendliest and most responsive person you'll ever meet and is really there to make sure everything runs smoothly - which it did. Mike (Host) had great communication before and during my stay, checked in on me to ensure I had everything I needed and really made us feel welcomed. Thank you for having us at your beautiful home; we can't wait to return!
The house is spectacular but what we liked the most is the attention and hospitality of the donkey and flute team. This is our second time staying with them and we will certainly do it again when we return to Merida.
The house is very cool, spacious, we are ideal for families and without hesitation the next visit to Merida will be there at Casa Mariposa. Regards !!
