Ch'i Bocol Community Hostel

Echt heel leuk hostel! Heb hier zo’n fijne tijd gehad en leuke mensen ontmoet! Aanrader!

Mike, his family, and staff are great. The family style meals were very good as well and catered to my allergies. It was a very lovely hostel surrounded by beautiful jungle. That being said, if you are squeamish with spiders, snakes, and other critters this may not be the spot for you. Our room was not critter free and we were very thankful for the ones who were okay with cleaning out big spiders before bed!

This hostel is amazing, the location is incredible and the vibe is on point. Highly recommend this place.

Cute hostel in the jungle. Be prepared for a 30 min hike on a muddy path. Once you're there it is lovely tho. You can sign up for breakfast, lunch and dinner which is all cooked by the staff. Beds are comfy, I really enjoyed the quietness of this places

Wunderschönes Hostel! Es liegt etwas abgelegener mitten im Dschungel und man sollte sich auch auf Spinnen einstellen, aber die Aussicht und die Atmosphäre ist wirklich toll. Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit und die Räume sind sehr sauber und ordentlich. Es gibt viele Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten, verschiedene Aktivitäten und Touren werden angeboten und auch im anliegenden Fluss kann man sich super abkühlen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

A beautiful hostel located within the jungle, Mike, karen and all of the staff really make for a great stay. If you want to stay somewhere where there is a bit more of a community feeling within nature this is perfect. Do be aware it is a bit further away from the other hostels, but they’re accessible by tuk tuk still!

Stunning location, adventurous trek to get there. We wanted something a bit more chill and laid back and this place definitely hit the spot! Loved the Semuc Champey tour and the tubing back down the river home was so much fun. Only thing to note is that there isn’t actually any organised yoga sessions going on, just a place where you could do yoga privately if you wanted to (mats provided)

amazing hostel! a great place to relax and enjoy the nature around. family style meals were delicious

really cool place

LOVED my stay here! Staff are so incredibly kind & helpful, their son Anderson loved sitting next to me to play at dinner (I loved it) they have tours for semuc champey & you can tube the river back to the hostel, very social if you want or relaxed if you want too, right in the jungle (the hike to get there was an adventure in itself), they have a yoga spot overlooking the river, GREAT FOOD, only thing is I did wish the showers were warm but everything else was immaculate so it’s ok! Comfy bed...

Hostel zit midden in de jungle, liggend aan de rivier. Badkamers zijn erg schoon (koud water), bed in form lag erg lekker. Personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Je bent wel redelijk afhankelijk van ze, omdat er in de buurt verder weinig is. Eten is er erg lekker en divers. Bij weinig zon kan de stroom soms uitvallen, dus een opgeladen powerbank is aan te raden. Vanaf de weg is het 30 minuten lopen naar het hostel, leuke route door jungle maar wel goed om te weten. Voor rust een aanrader!

Loved our stay here so much. The private room was beautiful and kept the mosquitoes out! The cooked meal every evening was delicious especially as a veggie with huge portion sizes. Cool half hour hike to get there but be prepared with walking books, especially in rain season! Showers are cold, sometimes the light didn’t work.

My friend and I had the best time there. The staff is amazing: helpful, and always there for you. The owner also answers all your questions, makes sure that everyone has a great time there. This place feels truly magical. You’re surrounded by nature and can really immerse yourself in this wonderful environment. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is a bit of a walk to reach the hostel. Aside from that, this place is just so amazing. I can highly recommend to stay here, a 10 out of 10.

Gorgeous place, great food, super fun tubing and lovely owners and staff!

Great hostel if you want serenity and just a break from things. Its def an adventure to get here and out. Everything u get here had to be carried on a literal old man’s back- hence u do need to pay a little if u wanna use the kitchen. Family dinner is great. Its vegetarian. Owners are lovely and friendly. Overall really fun experience to be in if ur trying to go to chamuk champey. You can walk there in 30 mins and its a pretty nice walk. The trek up and down the hostel is pretty adventurous.

Hermoso lugar, la csminata para llegar vale la pena ya que la sensación de hospedarte rodeado de la selva es único. El personal un 10, las chicas son super amables y atentas. Las instalaciones también excelentes. Lo único que no me ha gustado es que en el anuncio de aquí te dicen que se puede usar la cocina si pagas, lo cual no es verdad, no puedes usar la cocina. Y los precios de las comidas también son distintos a los reales. No cambia la experiencia, hermoso lugar.

If you are looking for a truly remote jungle stay in Semuc Champy, this is the SPOT! Mike’s dedication to building this hostel is truly unbelievable, no detail has been overlooked. The best part of this place is the yoga deck that overlooks the river it is sooooo beautiful. At one point, the kitchen flooded a bit from the rain AND THEY STILL COOKED US ONE OF THE BEST VEGETARIAN MEALS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! The hike in is really cool too and a fun part of the experience.

The most incredible space! My friend and I spent three nights here and loved every second of it. We took the hostel’s tour to Semuc Champey and returned via river tubing — an unforgettable day of adventure with a private guide for a super affordable price! The property is stunning and well-maintained, and the owners are welcoming and very helpful. A highlight of our Guatemala trip!

Loved the entire experience! The staff and activities were amazing along with the views! Be prepared during rainy season for the hike as it can be muddy and slippery.
