Great location, value,staff, activities and services.
The pool did not look so inviting and it can be a little noisy, but we absolutely would go again. I recommend not booking with breakfast through Expedia, it is sometimes included with activities you can book there and there are many options to discover around

The property needs some urgent upgrades; dated furniture; very old towels and bedding; bathroom renovations; better care of the garden. Swimming pool was dirty, no one goes in the water. Staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast options at the restaurant were good and tasty. But I wouldn’t recommend this place until needed upgrades and renovations are completed. Customers should not get used to pay for poorly maintained properties.

Nice place with nice employees. The dorms weren’t the cleanest and the shower broke. It would clog up nearly enough to spill out of the shower.

This place is close to a lot of things. The only thing is that the pool is dirty and it’s loud at night. It’s close to the main road, so you’ll heard all the neighbor dogs barking at night. Our room had a foul bathroom smell- when we closed the bathroom door it was contained and wasn’t bad. Other than that it’s a great place to stay. The staff, the location is great.

Unique accommodation with the 'teepee' but there was a smell and was not clean especially the bathrooms for the teepee. The staff seemed to be inconvenienced when asked a question. Never gpt back to me on the services and tours they "offered."

Fantastic experience!
It was magnificent, safe, calm, just simply awesome experience. It was my first time in a hostel and this experience was great! The people were amazing: Abner, Bartel, and Lisbeth were so wonderful. Panajachel and Guatemala in general will always be in my heart. Thank you for being so fabulous! I can't wait to come back...

This place has potential. They’ve included some thoughtful things that hostel-oriented travelers will appreciate, and the dining options are great. The woman at the reception desk during the day was super friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they had a king size bed, but the mattress was extra firm, which made my back hurt after a few days. There were a number of maintenance issues, but it did appear that they were actively working on them. Overall, if you don’t mind a hard bed, this is a good option in Panajachel.

We booked 2 nights at this property ,but we didn't stayed even 30 minutes,because of bad smell. We booked another hotel for the same 2 nights. When I returned the key the next day the person at the front desk told was the sewer and she offered a bottle of something to mitigate the smell .

Overall, good experience; cold nights, we needed extra blankets. Saturday night was noisy because people was all over the hotel drinking, talking loud and partying. Shared bathroom was not clean regularly ( trash cans over flowing).
