El Retiro Lodge Lanquin

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.

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.

really nice hostel, unreal views! I got either water or food poisoning from the tour or the food I don’t know!

Really good place with spacious private rooms. Friendly staff and good food that was not too overpriced. Same day affordable laundry service.

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...

Es war alles super. Es war organisiert. Die Tour nach semuc champey mit Tarzan war fantastisch. Das Essen war lecker und hatte ein gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis .

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!

Wunderschönes Hostel! Man fühlt sich sehr gut aufgehoben! Das Personal ist super super nett und aufmerksam! Ein ganz großer Pluspunkt sind auch die süßen freundlichen Hunde🥰 uns hat der Aufenthalt extrem gut gefallen!

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! 😊

Very nice hostel: nice rooms with AC, clean showers and toilets but the people working are the highlight. Everyone is very kind and helpful. Thankyou!

Fijn verblijf gehad. Mooie en schone locatie! Toen ik er verbleef was het wat rustig, maar aardige mensen ontmoet. Absoluut de Chemuc Champey tour die ze aanbieden doen, fantastische en volgepakte dag gehad!

De hostel ligt echt op een paradijselijke plek! Heerlijk ontspannen aan de rivier tussen de palmbomen. Het personeel is super aardig en spreekt Engels. Wij hadden onze shuttles geregeld met hen samen met de tour naar semuc champey en dit was prima georganiseerd. Onze kamer was wel wat verouderd en stonk een beetje muf. Ik mistte ook wel een kapstok in de kamer. De elektriciteit in 1 van de wc’s werkte 3 dagen niet. Ook te weinig ligstoelen bij zwembad. Pluspunt zijn dan wel weer de hangmatten!

El Retiro Lodge is een super mooi en goed verblijf! Het personeel is super leuk en behulpzaam. Alles was verder top geregeld.

I stayed 3 nights in the 4 bed female dorm. Overall I liked the hostel, the staff is nice, the food in the restaurant is really good & you get a lot for the price and you can refill your water for free. The hostel is basically in the middle of nowhere in a kind of jungle and for that it was clean. For me just the basics were missing: no WiFi in the room (only in the restaurant), no curtains & no good lockers. The tour to Semuc Champey was really cool and I enjoyed my stay!

Great place to stay visiting Semuc! I did the Semuc tour and floating the river and both were wonderful! The hostel is right by the river, great places to tan and then you can swim in the river! The restaurant isn’t fancy but gets the job done, including had a couple vegan options (lacking protein though) overall great place to stay!
