Guest Reviews

• Isabel (6/5): - Die Anlage und das Shala sind sehr schön, tolle Aussicht Das Essen war viel zu teuer und und er Preis wurde nicht richtig kommuniziert. Die Mitarbeiter waren nicht besonders freundlich, vor allem eine die immer ein Miesepeter Gesicht zieht und uns um 10 vor 9 mega unfreundlich ins Zimmer geschickt hat, wir seien zu laut. ich liebe Ruhe und verstehe, dass Leute früh ins Bett gehen aber die Art und Weise wie sie das kommuniziert hat geht gar nicht.. Haben auch oft Wasserprobleme..
• Reece (1/5): Miserable, unfriendly staff, no sauna as advertised - The nature around Lake Atitlan is lovely. Staff didn't speak Spanish and also wanted to charge everything in USD. Sauna wasn't available as apparently there were no staff available to light it, despite enquiring 2 days prior to arrival. Was given ambiguous answers around the sauna, no then yes (for an extra charge) then no again, in the end all of the staff left the premises shortly after our check-in and couldn't assist with anything. We were given the wrong room key and by the time we realised, all staff had left, so we had to climb in through the window and leave our room unlocked for the remainder of our stay. Also couldn't connect to the Wifi as we weren't given the details when checking in, which is the same reason we missed breakfast.
• Tanner (6/5): The good does not outweigh the bad - Great location in Tzununa. I liked it better than San Marcos which is a bit saturated and touristy. The beds were also very comfy. The yoga was fantastic. One of the main staff members radiated negative energy that was felt by everyone at the property. I would have extended my stay if it weren’t for this person who just seemed irritated that any of us were there. The sauna was never working, the water was off for 4 out of 6 days with no solutions or even recognition of the inconvenience and were instead met by a “sucks to suck” attitude. Breakfast is included but if you aren’t first in like at the limited buffet then you just have to get the scraps of what is left. Rarely are any staff members on the property outside of meal times so when the water was off, poop just piled up in the toilets until the next day. When the water was on, the showers were a trickle and not warm.
• Christine (10/5): felt at home at saasil. a rejuvenating stay. - relaxed welcoming vibe. enjoyed morning yoga and never feeling rushed
• Tobias (8/5): Stunning place with a lot of potential - Great, healthy, delicious Food. Stunning place with a lot of very nice social areas, hammocks ect. Great yoga classes in the morning. Basic but big rooms for personal space. Very quiet area, day and night. So in general a place where you can really enjoy the stunning view from one of the two nice big terraces and recover after Acatenango. I really enjoyed my stay here. Lockers in the dorms are actually no lockers, because the back is open. I realized it after three days... Not really nice, so be aware of your stuff. The communication was kind of tricky, because you have to write the stuff in what's app and sometimes it can take some time before you get an answer. Laundry cost me 15 USD for a small bag < 1kg...
• Sarah (8/5): Beach view design property in a stunning location - Beautiful location and lovely design with daily yoga There was nothing I did not like
• Maylis (10/5): Une semaine incroyable a saasil ! Je recommande vivement. - Tout était parfait ! Du personnel aux chambres, le lieu avec la belle vue, le petit déjeuner inclu était excellent et à volonté. La literie est d’un confort incroyable ! J’ai tout adoré. Il faut juste savoir que c’est un lieu assez reculé dans le sens où de n’est pas un lieu bondé de magasin etc mais vous trouverez quand même des petites épiceries sur votre chemin ! Saasil propose même le déjeuner et le dîner. Parfait si vous souhaitez être au calme. Il y a des cours de yoga tous les matins. Parfait pour se détendre.
• Jenise (10/5): I will be coming am here - Everything There isn’t anything I can say
• La Cele Estrada (10/5): LO QUE NECESITABA PARA RELAJARME - Sin duda una gran opción para desconectarte del ruido, esta en una ubicación perfecta para mantenerte dentro del hostal y disfrutar de la paz. Lleno de naturaleza, la habitación es cómoda y tienen opción para pago con tarjeta lo que es perfecto para mi que no tenia efectivo. Tienen un sistema disponible de lunch y cena con costo adicional pero que es una buena opción si deseas mantenerte en las instalaciones, el internet es bastante bueno. Todo bien con el lugar, solo toma en cuenta que no hay cajeros en Tzununá y el mas cercano esta en San Marcos que caminando esta a 40min y no siempre sirve. Tambien ellos te pueden ayudar a conseguir un tuktuk.
• Dominik (8/5): - Beautiful and peaceful location, daily yoga class included, excellent buffet style breakfast, comfy beds. It felt like there should have been more places in the gardens to relax, but much was unkempt. Not having anywhere to prepare even the simplest of your own food is a huge miss - outside of the designated meal hours, you can't even access plates or knives to cut some fruit.
• Tomasz (1/5): - NIC TRAGEDIA
• Kristabelle (7/5): Great for a break away from the hustle and bustle but do not book if you don’t like a rustic feel or bugs! - Rural location Daily yoga and great breakfast included Lots of spare blankets in room as gets cold Solar powered warm water shower Good WiFi Dogs barking in village til early hours of morning Lots of creepy crawlys! Found two scorpions on my things which they do make you aware of - to be expected with the location Housekeeping accidentally took one of my cloths and they couldn’t find it to return it
• Sophia (9/5): Relaxed lovely stay - Enjoyed the good vibe, lovely food, free yoga and chill atmosphere :)) Shower was cold one day, it was early in the morning, that might be the reason why
• Ariane (9/5): Beautiful Eco Lodge - The breakfast was delicious 😋, the yoga classes were great, every teacher bringing in their own flavour and the location is very close to San Marcos (quick 15 minutes tuk tuk ride).
• Aurea (9/5): - O espaço é muito bom para relaxar e curtir a natureza. Tudo muito limpo e confortável. Comida também muito boa. Um excelente lugar para se desconectar.
• Nicole (10/5): -
• Nicole (10/5): - Le lieux, l'ambiance détendue calme et joyeuse , le petit-déjeuner, le yoga du matin... Les bénévoles !
• Nicole (10/5): Fantástico - L'ambiance détendue bienveillante et calme , le lieu, la nature environnante, la magnifique salle de yoga.

• Zoe (10/5): Unvergesslich - Es war so schön ruhig, so viele schöne orte zum verweilen. Liebstes Team. Tolle Yoga Klassen. Sehr familiär. Schönste Natur. Perfekt. Das einzige was an meinem Zimmer gefehlt hat, waren Aufhänger um Kleider und Tuch aufzuhängen und etwas wo man die Kleider versorgen kann. Dies habe ich aber bereits rückgemeldet.
• Felipe (10/5): -
• Malgorzata (9/5): Enjoyed it - Everything looks like on the photos. Very nice , quiet place to stay. None
• Mariana (10/5): Excellent place if you´re looking to enjoy nature, relax, and eat consciously. - The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, perfect for disconnecting. Definitely THE BEST was yoga morning classes and the food was delicious, healthy and clearly made with care. Also, the place looks exactly as the photos, Highly Recommended! Have more logistics for transfer between boat and hotel (Tuc Tucs).
• Ashby (10/5): Beautiful and peaceful place in Lake Atitlan - I enjoyed the option of meals and yoga each day. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The owners Derrick and Lauren were incrediblely kind and helpful. They also had a host of employees that also made this place a very welcomeing environment. The view was insanely gorgeous. The entire place was absolutely perfect. Shout out to Gabbie who was phenomenonal!! I cannot find any negatives.
• Jayne (7/5): Good -
• Molly (9/5): Stunning eco tourism getaway - The location is amazing. Tucked above a small village on Lake Atitlan the views were amazing. The facility is well established with many amenities. There were delicious meals and smoothies. On new year's eve there was a lovely organized murder mystery. Then on NY morning, a smoothie, yoga class and then delicious brunch. We also got massages! It's a bit more rustic than your average traveler might be ok with. They were very upfront in the welcome messages about this fact, so we knew ahead
• Norris_daniel (10/5): Wonderful location with such friendly staff! - The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by so many plants, flowers, birds and a stunning view to the lake. So nice to relax and listen to the sounds of nature. It has a river that runs through the property as well as many hammocks to lounge in. Even better they have starlink internet which runs great! The kitchen makes delicious food and they even have smoothies or beer for sale onsite. The new owners are very friendly and welcoming, they make you feel at home immediately upon arrival. Don't miss a yoga class either! The shala is one of a kind! I can't wait to visit again! We wish our stay was longer! Already booked for another stay.
