Great hostel, lots of fun and in such a scenic location. The staff are great. We stayed in the private en-suite cabin and it was great value. The food and drink is good and reasonably priced. We did the river tubing which was a fun way to spend an afternoon. They have a pool table, table tennis and a volleyball net & the pool so you can keep yourself entertained.

It’s a good spot to relax by rio lanquin. The front desk can organize activities and are well paced, if you prefer. Beds are comfy and lots of space provided in the dorm. I’d recommend no more than two nights since there isn’t much else to do. The shower is the weakest point, but they’re still functional. Overall provides a a good experience with great and accommodating staff.

Das Hostel ist sehr schön am Fluss gelegen und insgesamt ist es ein gutes Hostel für Ausflüge in den Semuc Champey Nationalpark (das Hostel bietet auch eine ganz gute Tour an). Das Hostel hat auch einen Pool, was für uns ein großes Plus war, denn der Fluss ist doch sehr kalt. Bezüglich des Restaurants können wir uns den anderen Rezessionen leider nur anschließen. Das Essen war teilweise nicht durchgegart. In Lanquin gibt es aber einige gute Essensmöglichkeiten.

One of the best hostel-stays I had so far in Guatemala! Relaxed and chill vibe, just next to the river. Hostel team is amazing and had a lot of fun! The hostel offers a tour to Semuc Champey & the cave, which is a must-do! Would definitely book again.

Amazing hostel! Spacious dorms with large beds including mosquito nets, personal nightstand with light and outlet, and large space beneath the bed to store (and lock) your personal belongings and bag (only missing privacy curtains, but there is nothing a beach towel can't fix). The showers were amazing, feeling as if you are in the middle of the jungle, while the showers get nice and warm and have great pressure. The grounds are very well maintained and walking along the paths to the hostel faci...

Great spot on the river with a fun rope swing and jumping platform. Good to drift down the river, food was awesome, table tennis and pool table were great! Offered awesome tours too to surrounding areas!

Schöne Anlage mit entspannten Vibe. Das Restaurant ist nicht das beste, man wird aber satt und bekommt Lunch-Pakete. Das Personal ist sehr nett und man kann Busse über das Hostel buchen.

This place was amazing, was an oasis in Lanquin. We had an awesome stay. The Semuc Champey tour with Manuel was a highlight of our entire trip. He’s awesome and the tour was so worth it.

Beautiful location and super welcoming staff! While it’s advertised as a party hostel it’s more of a place for relaxing by the pool and having some drinks & games after dinner. Food is good and really affordable. We loved our stay here!

Amazing hostel on a perfect location right next to the river. Rooms are spacious and comfortable beds. The restaurant serves delicious food at a very reasonable price. The tours and shuttles run through the hostel are fantastic. The best part about this hostel is how friendly and amazing the staff are. Wish we could have stayed longer, this place is easily one of the best hostels in Central America!

We really loved this Hostel! Very kind staff and the food was also good. You can chill at the pool and also the general area was very cosy. The only negative thing were the hard pillows and the dogs that barked at 5:00 am.

Die Retiro Lodge ist ein ganz zauberhafter Ort. Es liegt zentral im Ort Lanquin und sie bieten Touren zu Semuc Champay an. Das Personal ist super nett und sie kümmern sich um alle Belange. Es gibt ein Restaurant mit solidem Essen zu fairen Preisen. Würde den Aufenthalt auf jeden Fall empfehlen! 😊
