Déjà nostalgique – excellent rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

L’accueil de l’hôte, Mireya, a été particulièrement chaleureux. Elle met tout en œuvre pour que le séjour soit agréable dès l’arrivée, dans une atmosphère conviviale et familiale.
Les repas cuisinés sur place (déjeuner et dîner), typiquement zapotèques, sont savoureux et constituent une vraie valeur ajoutée. La maison abrite également un atelier de tissage ainsi qu’une chocolaterie, avec visite guidée et explications détaillées sur les techniques artisanales (filage, teinture, tissage).
La chambre est spacieuse, bien équipée (eau chaude), lumineuse grâce à ses nombreuses fenêtres, et offre une vue remarquable sur la vallée et le village depuis le balcon.

Le village est paisible, sans nuisances sonores, ce qui garantit un repos optimal. Le marché local, très authentique et animé, reflète bien la culture mexicaine que l'on trouve dans les villages. On note une forte présence d’artisanat à proximité du marché.

L’église a été construite sur un ancien temple zapotèque, détruit à l’époque coloniale. Les Espagnols ont réutilisé les pierres sculptées des temples zapotèques pour sa construction. On observe encore des vestiges préhispaniques à proximité. Ce n'est pas qu'une église, c'est aussi un site archéologique.

Beautiful!
Pros:

Beautiful room and beautiful view of town. The family was very kind and gave me a warm welcome. It was very interesting to see their weaving workshop, chocolate making workshop, and pottery.

Cons:

It’s up a hill from town, so be aware if you’re walking.

Buena ubicación pero....hay un gran pero....
Pros:

Que está cerca relativamente de Oaxaca de Juárez. Es fácil si tienes un auto, pero tendrás que tomar en cuenta que la carretera no está muy alubrada si regresas de noche. Pero como dije, la ubicación es relativamente buena.

Cons:

Mi experiencia en este alojamiento fue muy negativa. ❌ La administración, manejada por una familia, no respeta las reservas, incluso si fueron confirmadas por plataforma, teléfono y en persona. 📆📞 Al parecer, publican la misma habitación en varias plataformas al mismo tiempo, lo que genera sobreventa. 💸 Cuando esto ocurre, simplemente informan que hubo un "error" y asignan la habitación a otra persona. 🚫 Esta práctica demuestra una falta de profesionalismo y seriedad. ⚠️ Además, te harán perder tiempo valioso durante tus vacaciones tratando de resolver un problema que ellos mismos causaron. 🕒😤 Recomiendo tener mucha precaución antes de reservar en este lugar. 🙅‍♂️

Tratan tanto de hacerte sentir “parte de su familia” que lo único que percibes es falsedad. Insisten a toda costa en venderte sus tours y dinámicas, al punto de volverse acosadores durante la estancia.

La comida que te ofrecen consiste en porciones muy pequeñas, como una tortilla bañada en mole, que te dicen que es artesanal y auténtica.

En general, fue una experiencia mala y extraña. No lo recomendaría.

Highly recommend this unique and wonderful experience!
Pros:

Our stay with this wonderful family was unique and unforgettable. I can’t say enough about the friendliness and kindness of everyone here. It was incredible to stay in this working weaving and pottery-making and chocolate-making centre. It was personal and so very interesting — and everything they create there is top quality! The breakfasts were delicious and huge.. we had dinner there one night and it was also so fabulous! We bought two rugs and some pottery and some of Issa’s amazing chocolate. Meriya took us on a long hike up the nearby mountain and then came home and made us breakfast! Rey David delivered our rugs to our new place in Oaxaca, and Issa went out of her way after we left to find some earrings that I wanted to buy.
Oh!!! And the terrace had an unbeatable view!!!!
What an experience! Loved it here. Loved the family and everyone there.

Home stay with amazing Zapotec cultural workshop
Pros:

David did an amazing job teaching natural dyes, I learned a lot and had a great time. I felt welcomed into the family. I was invited to join going to the market with Fani and loved that. Lulu was such a lovely house mom. I couldn’t have loved my time there more.

Very good
Pros:

I really liked the hosts. They were paitent with my poor Spanish skills and they loved to laugh!

Cons:

The only down side was the sound of a loom starting first thing in the morning. With that said, Huella Carmin is an active weaving workshop.

Magical
Pros:

Our stay with Rey David and his family was truly magical. The room and facilities were super cozy and the view from the terrace was spectacular. The family offered meals which were incredibly yummy. Their workshop and products are absolutely gorgeous. And the family was the best part of our time there -- my husband's birthday was during our stay and they surprised us with a birthday lunch and celebration. Our stay truly made memories of a lifetime.

Authentic, local experience. You will not regret choosing Huella Carmín!
Pros:

The Huella Carmín family takes a lot of pride in sharing their home, their customs, and their culture with visitors. We were fortunate to be invited to participate in a tour of the rug workshop and learn all about the entrepreneurial projects that the family is working on. Being that we stayed here during Day of the Dead, this lovely and warm family also invited us to share in their spiritual rituals and traditions, including a typical (and delicious) Zapoteco breakfast and lunch, traditional dances, games, and prayers, and a visit to the cemetery.

Cons:

It was a little bit difficult to find using Google maps (maybe Waze is better??), but once we arrived we immediately felt like we were at home. We also arrived after dark, so we'd recommend checking in earlier if possible.

Cozy homestay in Teotitlán
Pros:

Nice light-filled room with views from balconies. Breakfasting with the host’s family was a treat. Rey David (who appears to manage the place) also has a beautiful showroom of high-quality rugs, pottery and dog beds (!) on the premises, and his sister makes chocolate.

Cons:

Everything was great!

Loud at night
Pros:

Easy to find.

Cons:

Neighbors are loud. Barking dogs all night. Wasn't given a key until later that night after asking three times. Ended up leaving after the first night even though we planned two nights there.

Clean, comfortable and spacious but not very welcoming hosts
Pros:

Clean, bright, spacious room, privacy, pitcher of water, private bathroom, appreciated late check out, and cup of hot chocolate, comfortable bed

Cons:

The family was not very welcoming, it felt like it was just a business transaction and they wanted to make money off of me, nothing felt genuine or heartfelt , the room and breakfast cost double what it did at their sweet neighbor’s house across the street, they said insulting things about their neighbors that I found to be really unprofessional, I had stayed with their neighbors across the street at Casa Lizu first and the experiences were like night and day. At Casa Lizu the whole family genuinely took time to get to know me and wanted to spend time with me. At this place, they didn’t even make time to say goodbye to me as I was leaving. Also, they didn’t actively work on the looms at any point during my stay. It looks like it was just a showroom but was not really being used. I highly recommend booking with the neighbors at Casa Lizu instead. They didn’t post the WiFi password and when I went down to ask, I had the feeling that I was bothering the family. They gave me a password, but it might have been for the wrong network because the WiFi signal was extremely weak in my room and only worked outside.
