Casa 4 Estaciones Retreat B&B

Breakfast was simple just fruit a piece of bread and coffee. Place was great overall hearing the river and Leo was an awesome host.

Cute, comfortable cabin wood room, Fernando was great host who was able to answer any questions. Great internet, nice garden, and very cute cat that likes to sleep by your side sometimes.

Breakfast was quite simple, consisting of only a muffin and some fruit (I don't know about any of the photos shown in the description, I didn't see them); walking back from the city center at night can be a little scary because there is no light on the highway (it is only a 5 minute walk, but still you are completely in the dark). Can be a bit noisy with the cars passing by at night.

Such a nice place - the light is beautiful, and it's so nice to be close to nature, and wake up seeing the trees outside the window and hearing a lot of bird sounds :) It's a bit far from the center - which is the beauty of the place, but also good to be aware of since the collectivos stop going in the evenings. - I think it was a bit scary to walk home alone in the dark (next time I would probably take a taxi), but in daytime it's nice.

Loved basically mostly everything about the place. Very cozy, it does feel like home. Ideally located just next to the El Encuentro Park, which was amazing for us. The park is great and only 10pesos. For the other birdwatchers: we saw a Guatemalan Flicker, three mountain Trogons and lots of warblers, among others. Also pretty close to the city centre, it takes 40min walk to go to the extreme centre but the town is actually reached before that. Either way, there's public transportation passing through. Or good ol' taxi. Fernando is a very thoughtful, generous and kind person. He takes good care of everything. We really enjoyed our conversations with him 😊. Thanks Fernando! Kitchen is well equipped, it even has an oven. Hot water in the shower is very hot (and easily controlled). Bruce the cat is a cute little bonus. Lots of Grackles and other birds around 💜. Our complaint would be that the private room doesn't feel so private as the walls are very thin and everything can be heard. At around 8pm, our co-living mate hushed us from her room upstairs... We were already whispering and were just laughing basically. So I reckon it depends who you end up with in the house but it did feel a bit like a temple.

We loved the how attentive and thoughtful Fernando was. When we had to rise early for a tour, he rose early to have breakfast ready for us. The place is very close to a park (open Wednesday-Sunday). It’s a nice place to walk around, read a book, eat organic food from the cafe. It’s also not far from another park with a grotto of caves. We loved being close to nature and out of the main drag.

Super nice and helpful host everything was clean Room was great, super big bed Recommend for some peace and quiet

It’s a special place, perfect if you seek to unwind from cities and travelling in a small community. It’s a very personal and chilled vibe because there are only three double rooms, so you’re not more than 6 people + Fernando who takes great care of his guests. He’s very helpful and attentive and checks in what kind of bread and drink you prefer for breakfast (it’s generally fruits, sweet or salty bread and coffee - not much but a great start into the day). He lives underneath the house and sometimes friends come over, so again, very friendly atmosphere and more a co-living than a hostel!

Only thing that can be a bit difficult is that it’s not easy to reach by public transport, the colectivo is supposed to pass by but there’s no clear schedule so we ended up paying for taxis if we had to travel with luggage/at night, but they’re also affordable (70-90 pesos). The kitchen could be a bit better equipped so it’s more fun/easier to cook since you’re so far from any restaurants

Fernando is the best host ever. Makes everyone feel at home. It feels like sharing a house with max 5 other people, very different from your usual hostel experience. Also I loved the cat, named Bruce. Also, you're very close to a nice national park. I ended up staying here for 2 weeks 😄

Going into town takes some effort, around 30 min.
