Worst hostel stay I’ve had. A weird smell around the whole place, the bathrooms were dirty and only 2 toilet/showers for the whole hostel. The owner started installing a sauna downstairs next to the bedroom I was in and the smoke filled the corridor and my bedroom (no windows to the outside so choking us all out) from early until after 10pm - also noisy. They added another bed to the room so we were cramped, moving my stuff without asking. Said they’d give me a refund but have ignored me sin...

Wow! Amazing beautiful hostel. Carlos has not long had it going but has put the most into it being a great stay. Massive beds, lovely terrace and the best thing is all the free food he provides you can eat at any point included in the breakfast- breads, fruits, pastry, cereals, eggs, yogurts, even wine! So kind! Don’t miss out on staying here

Really good hostel. A little quieter than some hostels but a great place to relax. Nice rooms with nice staff and volunteers. Also offer free laundry and they have some food as well which was generous. Defo would reccomend.

J’ai logé ici 4j lors de mon passage au lac et je n’aurais pas pu rêver mieux. L’emplacement est idéale, à deux pas des belles rues de San Juan et des lanchas. La vue sur la terrasse est magistrale, la cuisine extérieure est un + . Ma chambre était propre et bien fournie (cadenas, tiroir, serviette), le lit double est un vrai confort dans ce type d’auberge! Lessive + nourriture à disposition :) Le personnel était adorable et s’assurait du bien être des voyageurs. Je recomm...

Had a great stay here. Carlos, Ronny, and team were extremely welcoming. The free food was fantastic and so useful - you can request Carlos to refill the avocados and eggs etc. and by the morning they will be there! Room was nice but could get stinky easily without much ventilation. The shower could have been better and warmer too.

Das Hostel war etwas chaotisch und hat nicht die beste Ausstattung, aber das war nicht so wichtig, da Carlos dafür extrem herzlich war. Sein Konzept, dass im Hostel alles inklusive ist, finde ich genial. Lebensmittel, Getränke und Bier sind komplett kostenlos. Es fühlte sich mehr wie eine WG an als ein Hostel.

Our stay at KALOO was really amazing!! We (a group of 3 girls) were there for 3 nights and we really liked the cozy and friendly vibes there. The owner was super nice and made us feel at home. It was social in its own way, just a small group of really friendly people to chat with at the rooftop terrace (which is amazing) The kitchen was well occupied, even with free ingredients! The beds were amazing, the only point of improvement was the water pressure, showering was kind of a challenge.

¡El mejor hospedaje de todo Guatemala! Carlos su dueño es de las mejores personas que conocerás. El servicio incluye cocina abierta así que puedes cocinarte y comer lo que quieras. También hay bebidas gratis. Pero lo mejor: sus personas. Increíble.

El mejor hostal alrededor del lago, la atención siempre fue muy buena, siempre al pendiente de todo y siempre ofreciendo ayuda. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, limpias y bien espaciosas. La cocina es concepto abierto, puedes comer lo que desees 1000000/10

Carlos and his staff are working hard to grant everyone a nice stay at the hostel. I was really surprised when I found out that doing laundry and the food in the kitchen were for free! Could be more bathrooms (2) for the Hostel but it worked out. Nice view from the rooftop.

Superbe auberge. Les chambres sont confortables et propres et le personnel très sympathique. Qui plus est, la cuisine est un véritable lieu de partage où plein de denrées sont partagées. J’y retournerai les yeux fermés

Comfortable beds, amazing view from the rooftop. FREE FOOD ALL DAY with fruit, bread, eggs, etc in kitchen. FREE LAUNDRY. The staff were amazing; even took me to get food from a local stand and paid for me. Did a weaving workshop across the street as well from a wonderful family. Had an absolutely amazing stay. They really care. I wish I could’ve stayed longer than 4 days . I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to in this case. Just wish water pressure was a little higher

Carlos the owner is so kind and helpful. It’s in the heart of san juan, the beds are so comfy, there’s lots of free food for you to help yourself to and the free washing was also a bonus. We loved it here and didn’t want to leave

Eins der besten Hostels, in denen ich jemals war! Die Mitarbeitenden sind super freundlich und zuvorkommend und es wird wirklich ständig geputzt, weshalb es auch super sauber ist! Viele Lebensmittel werden von dem Hostel gestellt und die Wäsche wird sogar kostenlos gewaschen. Lage ist top und im Hostel hält man sich gerne auf
