Clean hostel with decent sized rooms and comfy beds. Not a super social vibe. The location is a good base to get to other towns around the lake, but not too much to do around the area. Great food options in the hostel and nearby though :))

Great stay! I loved the pool area. The restaurant food and drinks were also really good. Location right next to the dock as well.

Very big hostel that feels very impersonal. Garden with the pool is beautiful!

Overall 10/10, mais le staff pourrait être plus friendly ! On avait toujours l’impression de déranger le staff au bar, à l’accueil on ne nous a pas mentionné qu’il y avait un autre restaurant un peu plus loin à pied et que les activités se déroulaient là. Bref l’endroit est vraiment beau et a beaucoup de potentiomètre, mais ça n’a pas été un highlight dans notre voyage.

MUCHO ruido. Desde las 9am hasta las 10pm la música esta muy fuerte. Pregunté en recepción si había un espacio para relajarse sin música, y me dijeron que todos los espacios tenían música

Really chilled vibe. Perfect for 1-2 nights to get settled in to Lake Life. Receptionists were so helpful booking stuff for me to do during and after my stay.

Je n'ai pas trop aimé, on dirait un gros resort il y a beaucoup trop de monde pour faire des rencontres, de plus il n'y a pas de cuisine ni même de frigo (pas pratique pour partir en rando) et la nourriture est chère. Sinon les chambres sont plutôt bien sauf manque de place pour mettre les affaires si vous avez le lit du haut.

This place is great! Cozy rooms, nice bathrooms which feel private, nice outdoor area and pool, and helpful friendly staff. If you’re staying in Panajachel this is the place to stay!

This place was not clean at all, main shared bathroom was filthy at all times. Multiple massive roaches. Not as backpacker friendly as I thought, at least in my experience there were many families which I didn't expect, my friend also stayed here weeks before and said the same thing about families and seeing roaches on the property. However I felt safe, and the location is very good! Down the street from lanchas and close to markets and food.

I arrived when it was absolutely POURING rain, they refused to open the side gate to let me in, saying I had to go to the front. I arrived to my room and I was the first one to check in, so I go to use the bathroom and it was in complete state of disarray. There was pee all over the toilet and floor, the towel provided was disgusting, and overall just not clean and super gross. Beds were comfy with nice bedding and food was good but a bit expensive. Atmosphere was meh but location was great.

I loved this hostel! If you're looking for a place to be very social and hang out with a lot of people, this is the place for you! There was pretty much always music blasting, so if you're looking for a quiet place to work, this likely isn't your vibe. I loved the outside area of the hostel by the pool. The restaurant food was okay and definitely overpriced, as were many of the offered things being sold. The welcome drink was a plus! My shower was hot and my bed was comfortable! Great stay!
