Kukul'ik - Studios & Workspace - 29240 San Cristóbal de las Casas

Unfortunately nothing worked out as as wished…

Service was bad and Internet connection unstable

The place is very clean, always hot water. The owners are wonderful people. You'll not find any problem!

The rooms here are rather spartan. You get a platform bed, a futon styled loveseat and a small table and chair. On the plus side, there are plenty of hangers and ample room to hang your clothes. Also, there was always hot water for showering and at the bathroom sink.

Decent option for shorter term stays. The hosts are easy enough to communicate with through WhatsApp. They upgraded the internet cables at the end of my stay which made it more stable. But once the internet was better I had trouble working there during the day because of barking dogs. At night the dogs are usually quiet, though, so sleeping wasn’t a problem. The location is pretty good-an 8-10 minute walk to the center. And there are a few neighborhood restaurants open until 730 or so. Drinking water wasn’t included so I had to buy my own and haul from town and then up the stairs. Sometimes the nearby tiendas ran out of large bottles! I overpaid for the room, 7500 for a month and a 3,000 deposit in low season. Above market price for a basic room. The room was clean and well equipped with a small kitchen and a nice view of the mountains. Also the return of the deposit was kind of stressful. They told me I could only get it back if everything was in the same kitchen as at check-in, presumably leaving no room for little deductions. And I had to wait for an hour and a half for the manager to do the walk through. Everything was fine and they did return the entire deposit. Overall I wouldn’t do another month stay because no drinking water is available, the high price and required deposit, and barking dogs. Updating in response to reply. Glad to hear the dogs are leaving. The internet was much improved as of a day or so before I departed. I agreed to that price given that the internet was represented as fast & reliable and the property as well suited for working online. As it turns out it was not while I was there. The manager's reply mentioned I didn't "complain". I don't see how complaining would have resolved these issues. A friend of mine looked into renting there for a month and was told water service in the room was not possible. And no one told me it was either. I took this at face value and toted my own water. Now the manager says it is available. I am glad to see that honest reviews can have positive change.

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! The first time I came to Chiapas I wasn’t sure on what to expect, but the hosts were very welcoming and they practically made traveling easier. During the months that I’ve visited, it’s a little cold and raining, but the rooms are very comfortable, they have hot water 24/7, and the internet works perfectly. I’ve visited San Cristobal twice and I’ve stayed here both times. I’ll definitely come back and stay at Kukul Ik.

I come here for the co-working. The space is really nice there’s multiple seating options plus they have free coffee, tea, and water. The internet is super good! I can do zoom calls and not have to worry about the call dropping or anything. If your in Airbnb with terrible internet I recommend coming here. The owners are super nice and friendly.

Do not approach this place and certainly not the owner. You will not have water in the taps and certainly in the toilet. The antisemitic owner and a bad person did not come to fix and also got upset. I recommend you look for another place to stay this is not the first time I have heard of such a case. Do not make a living from this place!
