Loved it! The beds are super comfy and the dorms are really quiet so you can really rest. The kitchen is really clean and the hostel is beautiful. 100/10

Glaube das beste Hostel in dem ich je war. die Betten sind riesig und gemütlich. man bekommt auch nichts von den anderen mit da die Betten aus Beton sind. Da das Partner Hostel und dieses verbunden ist hat man noch mehr Möglichkeiten und alles was man benötigt. besonders die Küche ist super falls man mal kochen will nvh einer langen Reise

The hostel and staff are absolutely wonderful. Very relaxing areas, has everything you need in the dorms and outside of them. Ideal location, close to the beach and other more active places while still keeping the calm and peacefulness of El Paredon. I’ll recommend this place everyday.

Good place. Tbh very luxurious but not really social. But free coffee and banana bread in the morning. Nevertheless, I booked my shuttle to El Salvador through the hostel but the booking went not through/ a mistake happened. The next morning the shuttle didn’t wanna take me since I was not on the list. Eventually after a lot of discussions I could sit on my bagpack on the floor for hours. Other than that, I would recommend it. The capsules are very spacious

Gorgeous hostel! Really felt luxurious with the double bed, decor was beautiful and so comfortable. Great location, right by the beach and the access of Caracoli lodge was great for the pool, bar and surf lessons. I really recommend this if you’ve done a busy trip in Guatemala and would like to end on a relaxing note 😊 safe were super lovely and the banana bread is 10/10

If you were to design a perfect hostel, this would be pretty close! Being able to use the amenities in the sister property which is connected is also perfect and beach front. Pool area could do with some more sun beds as they are a little hard to get one! Otherwise beautiful and comfortable stay!

The staff at Caracola are exceptional. In particular, Danyka, who went above and beyond to problem solve locating some items that were left behind. You could tell she really cared and wanted a good outcome. Caracola has the nicest dorm rooms. It has a lovely atmosphere and access to the pool, restaurant and vibes of the sister hostel Cocori. Thanks for all your assistance.

This is a GREAT deal for the pool and other Cocori facilities. It is not social, everyone keeps to themselves. Reception staff was kind. Check in is strictly at 3. However, they have a ridiculous policy that they need your ID to rent you a towel.

I had a great stay at Caracola! Staff was amazing and the dorm is really nice. Also a huge plus that the facilities of Cocori may be used. Would definitely recommend.

Loved it here - would come back anytime. Very tranquil but if you are up for socialising you just walk to the main pool. Kitchen and facilities were in very good condition. Staff was super helpful as well.

Amazing location, amazing staff, very relaxed vibe but still social. There’s access to 2 pools, a very well-equipped kitchen, and there’s free coffee and banana bread every morning. The beds are very spacious and the dorms are very clean and nice :) loved it!

Super schönes und ruhiges Hostel! Die Schlafplätze bieten sehr viel Privatsphäre, die Matratzen sind groß und super bequem. Im Innenhof ist ein kleiner Pool und es gibt viele Sitzmöglichkeiten. Das Partnerhostel nebenan hat eine super Poolanlage, Bar, Restaurant und einen direkten Strandzugang. Es ist super sauber und es gibt eine tolle große Küche zum Kochen :-)

The BEST HOSTEL I ever stayed in, and by far the best hostel in El Paredon. This hostel offers everything you need and more - spacious, fully equipped kitchen, big & relaxing common area, dorms with AC that feel very private, bathroom with hot showers. Fast Wifi great for nomads. Everything in the hostel is extremely clean, and the staff really go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. Access to a 25-m pool and outdoor gym. Quiet at nights. Chill & friendly atmosphere. LOVED my stay! 11/10!

The beds were very comfortable, the rooms had a nice temperature, and it was quiet - best sleep of my trip. I liked the atmosphere of the place, however, it is not the most social place if that’s what you’re looking for (there’s more activities and a bigger pool right next door at the sister hostel tho). The kitchen was well equipped and cleaned several times a day, a bliss to cook there.
