Guest Reviews
- Melody (10/5): - Edgar was an amazing host! He shared tips on the area, has direct numbers for great drivers, and was always available for questions. A lovely property back from the main street for quiet nights but still super close to tons of food and the launchas to explore the lake area. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! No issues
- Laurye (10/5): - Quarto super espaçoso e limpo! Funcionários solícitos. O café da manhã não é servido no local.
- Moreno (8/5): - Muy bonito el alojamiento Hacía mucha calor y el abanico no ayudaba mucho
- Metztli (10/5): - Hotel Makani exceeded expectations in all the right ways. The beds were comfortable and the hot water was consistent regardless of the time of day, which made a noticeable difference after long days of exploring.
The location is a real highlight: far enough from the main street to stay quiet, yet still walkable to the public beach, shops, and restaurants. It’s that sweet spot that’s hard to find.
The front desk attendant was genuinely helpful and went above and beyond. He connected us to a private ferry service that gave us the flexibility to hop between towns and return to Panajachel after 9 PM, which opened up our itinerary considerably. The hotel also offers unlimited filtered water for the entire stay (somewhere around 15 to 25 quetzales), a small touch that made a big difference.
I was concerned about the lack of A/C but the rooms actually managed to stay comfortable through the night plus there was a fan.
WiFi worked perfectly- was able to do some work before heading out to explore the town. Waking up to a rooster on a few mornings.
- Lorena (10/5): - Ubicacion
Amabilidad de la persona encargada del hotel
tranquilidad
- Carlos (3/5): Mala experiencia - Buena ubicación Me parece muy mal que en 04 noches que estuve hospedado ningún solo día hicieran limpieza ni cambio de toallas ni nada, que falta de higiene.
- Guadalupe (10/5): Excelente - Todo muy bien, aseo orden calides buena atención muy recomendado
- Rachael (9/5): - Beautiful hotel. Very friendly staff. Ideally located. Room got quite hot at night - but the fan helped somewhat. They didn’t empty waste paper basket in our room which would have been preferable.
- Xiloj (7/5): - The facility has a beautiful view and gardens. Further than I thought but I wasn’t bad at all.
- Flavien (7/5): -
- Naela (6/5): Okay, needs improvement. - The location of this hotel is down a side street with a lot of empty houses. Did not feel safe. The staff gave a ticket for breakfast at a hotel 5-10
Minutes walk away. The breakfast was really good! Need more lighting, hooks, and side tables in the room. Need more hooks in the bathroom. Was very cramped.
- giuseppe (1/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Ramos (8/5): - Atencion del personal
- Alexander (4/5): Not worth 50 dollars a night - The breakfast is at a resteraunts 10 minute walk away The room was very small and kind of dirty, there was mold on the shower curtain and walls of the bathroom
- Angela (10/5): Excepcional - El personal es supremamente amable y las instalaciones son muy cómodas y limpias.
- Juan (7/5): Buena estancia calidad precio - La cercanía con el mercado y el lago Camas poco cómodas y la habitación muy cerrada y húmeda
- Juanita (10/5): - El recepcionista Edgar. Absolutamente amable; dispuesto, atento; sonriente. Nos explicaba cómo movilizarnos 10/10
- Jean-philippe (5/5): -
- Frederique (7/5): -
- Richard (5/5): Fine for one night. Maybe just go somewhere closer for breakfast. - An acceptable, functional hotel if you're simply staying overnight in Panajachel. No thrills. Nice staff. We arrived well before check-in time, and they had a room ready for us within ten minutes. When booking, I knew the breakfast was served at another location. This turned out to be on the far side of town, further away than I'd been led to expect. The breakfast was very basic, and the most likely cause of the stomach bug I suffered for the next 24 hours.
- Emiel (4/5): Onvoldoende - Locatie was goed. Personeelslid ’s avonds aanwezig was zeer aardig en meewerkend. Algemene hygiëne. Douche vol met haren. Beddengoed was vies en zat vol vlekken. We hebben gevraagd om een andere kamer, dit was beter maar nog steeds onacceptabel.
- Margarita (7/5): Enkelt, men mysigt. Bra och lugnt läge, familjärt mottagande vid ankomst. Hit kommer jag tillbaka! - Läget, rent, charmigt ställe och trevlig personal. Lite lyhört.
- Maribel (7/5): - The staff is very friendly Edgar was very accomodating and made my stay very pleasant Nothing
- Mario (9/5): - Desyuno
- Martha (10/5): -

- dcaray1993 (8/5): -
- Vives (10/5): - El servicio. En recepción siempre estuvo un señor muy amable, atento y dispuesto a ayudar. 100% vale la pena el lugar por el servicio
- Álvaro (8/5): -
- Fazari (7/5): - The location, the staff was very friendly The rooms are a bit dark, on my last day there was a power outage so no water
- denyse (10/5): Hôtel calme, loin du bruit, joli jardin, hôte très serviable et souriant. - Délicieux le petit déjeuner, dans un joli hôtel non loin de mon hébergement. Manquait cependant d'un peu de variété d'un matin à l'autre. Plus de choix pour le petit déjeuner.Calme
- Sandra (9/5): Un hermoso hotel con personal muy amable - Es un lugar muy ameno y la atención siempre fue muy buena Nada en particular, solo que para acceder tener que hacer una subida pequeña que con valijas puede ser complicada pero cuando me fue el señor del hotel me ayudó.
- Corinna (9/5): - Very friendly people, very close to the lake and the boats, quiet area, nice terrace with garden view
- Maria (10/5): Excelente - Excelente personal y apoyo total La ubicación un poco angosto para llegar
- Gabriele (4/5): -
- Alizée (9/5): Super séjour. -
- Agne (10/5): Super cozy stay - Staff is incredible, so nice and helpful! Room quite basic, very clean. Nice toilettries, even hair conditioner was provided :)
- Katharina (8/5): Bonito Hotel - Hotel muy bonito, limpieza y comfortavel cerca de la playa publica con un muy buen precio Era difícil encontrar al hotel. Esta en un callejón un poco lejos de la calle principal y no se puede entrar tan fácil en coche.
- Alberto (6/5): Desayuno a 15 minutos - . El desayuno incluido, pero a 15 minutos andando. A la habitación no llegaba la WiFi
- Salazar Garro (9/5): - Personal excelente, buena ubicación para ir a otros pueblos del lago, servicio de lavandería y café a un precio justo Puerta con llavin malo
- George (9/5): -
- George (9/5): - Great staff. Comfortable rooms. Felt safe and secure. Close to restaurants, entertainment, and shore of Lake Atitlan. The roosters kept waking us up too early. :)
This hotel is a hidden gem. A little hard to find. But awesome stay.
- Juan (8/5): Nice stay - It was a good stay. Very friendly staff. Small rooms, but good value.
- Juan Fernando (7/5): Mejor para turistas a pie - Limpieza Faltaban ponchos para protegerse del frío y el ingreso en auto complicado y con poco parqueo
- DE LEON MEJIA (9/5): - La tranquilidad
- Thede Θοδωρής (10/5): Gute, ruhige Adresse unweit vom Atitlán-See - Ruhig, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Leute, zentral. In der Nähe gute Restaurants. Liebevoll gepflegter Hof mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Kleiner Laden mit den wichtigsten Reiseutensilien an der Rezeption. Es sollte an der Straße unten ein Schild zum Hotel angebracht werden.
Das Frühstück ist etwas weit weg, dafür belohnt einen dann ein sehr schönes Restaurant.
Das zunächst vergebene Zimmer hatte nicht die versprochenen 24 qm., man wechselte es und dann aber in ein größeres.
Sehr hellhörig.
- Saurer (9/5): - Sehr nettes Personal. Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Das Zimmer war klein, für 1 Person gross genug.
- Christina (9/5): Clean, spacious room and good shower - The shower is amazing and the location is in a quiet street.
- Nevada (10/5): Wonderful little hotel in the middle of everything with parking. - Friendly staff, off street parking, clean rooms, hot water You have to walk a bit to get to the restaurant for breakfast, but that is also a plus. The restaurant is very nice.
- Christine (9/5): - Kemer is heel prpper. Ligt een beetje ver van het centrum.
- Walter (10/5): -
- Valerie (5/5): Hôtel pas cher qui s il était silencieux pourrait etre agréable - La situation au fond d une impasse mal entretenue avec les chiens qui aboient et la basse cour à proximité
Nous n avons pas eu de chance nous sommes tombés sur des fêtards et comme il n y a pas de présence la nuit c etait nuit blanche
- Helene (10/5): Tres joli endroit tout près du lac ! - Super propre les chambres sentaient tellement bon !! Le personnel très sympathique! Le propriétaire m’a même fait un café le matin pour me faire plaisir ! Rien
- Maria Laura (7/5): Mi estadía en Panajachel - El personal siempre estuvo atento para resolver cualquier problema.
Roxana y Betsaida, muchas gracias!!!
- Katharina (7/5): -
- Jessica (6/5): - Exceptional staff, let us check in early, clean room, easy to find Shower: I tried a million different combinations - either burn off your skin hot or ice bath cold
- Mario (10/5): Volveríamos sin duda alguna. Un lugar cálido, y con ganas de volver a ver a don Edgar. - La atención del personal fue excelente.
Total preocupación y dedicación hacia los huéspedes.
Destacando a don Edgar, su amabilidad y quien siempre estuvo atento a todos nosotros, a nuestra comodidad, y siempre pendiente de que nada nos faltara. Nada que agregar. Todo excelente .
- Marvin (9/5): Acogedor, comodo, con mucha tranquilidad. - La atención brindada fue de primer nivel, empezando por don Edgar que fue super atento con nosotros desde el momento de nuestra llegada, incluso nos permitieron dejar el carro mucho antes del check-in y se aseguraron que las habitaciones estuvieran limpias y listas para usarse. Incluso hasta nos ayudaron con un calzado que se nos mojo y nos lo dejaron como nuevo, listo para usarse al dia siguiente :) Es poco lo que se podria decir, pero quiza la puntualidad a la hora de iniciar el check-in es algo importante a mejorar, esto porque a la hora de la llegada las habitaciones aun no estaban listas (lo cual estaba bien por la hora que llegamos) pero 1hr despues de la hora de check-in seguian sin estarlo, por dicha fue una excelente oportunidad para ir conociendo Panajachel, lo cual ya es ganancia.
- Lena (9/5): -
- Noelia (7/5): It’s okey ! - El lugar estaba limpio , amplio y cómodo , el staff era muy amable . No fue mi ubicación favorita , ya que para ir a los mejores restaurantes tenía que andar bastante , y de noche pues da miedo ( es guate, y yo viaje sola ) pero si vas acompañado está bien !
- Benjamin (10/5): - Breakfast was good!
- Lucia (3/5): Pésima - El jardín era bonito y la ubicación no estaba mal, estaba cerca aunque por un camino sin asfaltar ni iluminación. Hacía frío en la habitación, el agua caliente no servía, el wifi funcionaba mal, por la noche era imposible dormir porque había luz fuera y la cortina no tapaba nada, no había ninguna privacidad ya que se veía a través de la ventana. Además por la noche estaban gritando fuera, ni con talones se podía dormir. Tuve que irme a las 5 de la mañana y no había luz ni electricidad en la habitación.
- Ines (9/5): Excelente - La habitacion es comoda y tienen todo lo necesario. El personal es muy amable. Creo que la dicha funciona por placas solares y cursta regular la temperatura. A algunas horas sale fria y a otras hirviendo.
- David-Alexandre (6/5): - not directly on the street. not too many rooms. possibility to park the car rooms were smaller than description. Noisy when people going to their room
- Danny (7/5): Goede prijs kwaliteit - Het personeel was vriendelijk, de locatie van de accommodatie was goed en de prijs was aantrekkelijk voor het geen wat je krijgt. De douche was minder, je wacht lang op warm water als deze überhaupt komt.
- Anja (9/5): -
- Ana Lucia (7/5): Good for a night - Location is close to where to take the boat. Friendly staff. Free parking. Rooms are smaller than what you can see in the picture. Simple room. TV remote did not work.
- Giulia (7/5): - La ubicación es muy cómoda y el
Personal amable
- Alice (3/5): - Staff presente e disponibile. Camera e bagno piccoli piccoli rispetto a quanto dichiarato nella descrizione. Spazi angusti.
Wi-fi non funzionante in camera.
La colazione non è in albergo, ma in un locale distante 850 m.
Pessimo rapporto qulità-prezzo.
- Edward (1/5): - Not for civilized people miserable quality of everything
- Angelica (8/5): Estancia linda en Panajachel - Excelente ubicación Más pequeño de lo que se muestra en las fotografías
- Paulina (5/5): Extremely basic, clean but don’t expect to be able to sower daily. - Staff was friendly. And hotel has a local charm. Breakfast is good Water in the shower was terrible, either none at all or all over the place or plenty but cold. In order to take a shower you just wake up early before other guests to have enough hot water.
Rooms need side tables and maybe a chair. Restaurant is a good 10-15 minutes away.
- RICARDO SANCHEZ (10/5): Excelente servicio al cliente - Maravillosa atencion de don Edgar. Cordialidad total! .
- Andy Ricardo (4/5): Es una opción sino se encuentra alguna otra - La ubicación El servicio y las instalaciones
- Marshall (7/5): -
- Alfonso (9/5): -
- Frederic (9/5): - The location, the staff, comfortable bed, and good breakfast.
- Kirk (8/5): - Location. The room was nice and clean No water pressure in shower and hot or miss on hot water
- Juan (7/5): - El hotel y el jardín son bonitos, la señora era muy simpática, y el hotel está muy cerca de donde se cogen los barcos. El desayuno no es en el hotel, sino en un restaurante en la otra punta de la ciudad, a 20 minutos caminando, lo cual nos pareció absurdo, deberían avisarlo antes porq hubiéramos preferido ir a cualquier otro restaurante por nuestra cuenta para no perder tanto tiempo. La ducha estaba sucia. Faltó luz un par de veces, y tambien faltó agua caliente varias veces.
- Gustavo Rodolfo Arriaza (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (5/5): Good value for money - great for heavy sleepers - This property was tucked away up off the Main Street. The exterior was charming and the staff were so friendly. It was super noisy, as it is just off the Main Street the noise carries. You will also hear all your neighbours - ours liked to talk loudly all night. There was also a significant amount of fireworks being let off - Not a fault of the owners what can they do. But just be aware if you are a light sleeper you may struggle here a little.
- Sven (9/5): -
- Diseño (9/5): -
- Alexandre (8/5): Hôtel fleuri et bien situé à Panajachel - Bel hôtel avec une cour fleurie. Lieu sécurisé à 5 min de la belle vue sur le lac et le volcan
- MIGUEL ANGEL (7/5): Atendió las espectativas - Funcionários atenciosos, limpio El baño no era muy confortable. Fallaba el água caliente
- John (8/5): -
- Dany (10/5): -
- Rodríguez Guerrero (9/5): Tranquilidad en Panajachel - La cama y la almohada muy cómoda. Está céntrico pero no sé escucha ruido de la música. El trato y la amabilidad de los encargados de recepción, sobre todo la mujer que me cosió prendas de vestir. Ducha de agua caliente no falla. Cerca de restaurantes y al lado del lago y el embarcadero para ir a los pueblos. Nada que añadir.
- Olga Lucia (9/5): -
- Salomon Andres (10/5): Excelente - Limpieza de las habitaciones.
Disposición para atender dudas y recomendaciones.
- Rosalind (8/5): - The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was at a restaurant about 10 minutes away from the hotel. It was a tasty breakfast
- Niklas (4/5): -
- Ivan (5/5): - Staff was responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Location was near the water and the ferry for private boats. A window in the bathroom was broken that let in mosquitoes. Had to argue with staff so that they could block the window. Pillow cases were dirty. The rooms were got were extremely loud next to the office. No hot water, even after asking multiple times. Just the basics, don't expect much more.
- Idianey (10/5): - Ubicación
- Fabienne (10/5): Un havre apaisant - Les personnes qui s'occupent de l'hôtel sont adorables, toujours la si besoin la chambre était simple mais tout a fait confortable et propre le jardin est un bonheur je me suis sentie accueillie comme si j'étais à la maison
