- Frans van Buuren (7/5): - Dicht bij het centrum
Rustig 's nachts.
Minimarket. Onhandige badkamer.
- Desrochers (10/5): Merveilleux - La place est super, magnifique vue sur le lac et privée! La dame nous a beaucoup aidé! On a été capable de booker un shuttle et une randonnée dans le temps de le dire. Déjeuner compris et délicieux! San Juan est magnifique, il y a tant à voir ! C'est bruyant la nuit, prévoir des bouchons pour chiens et coq! C'est bruyant un peu partout sur le lac, ce n'est pas la faute de l'hôtel!
- Wim v.d. Welle (8/5): - San Juan is the place to be on the lake. First we had the family room. Spacious but dark and not cosy. We switched to a cheaper room on the topfloor. But no refund. The view was perfect. In the morning we left it took 15 min before the breakfast came while we were in a hurry and asked the night before to serve breakfast in time. When we asked to arrange a TukTuk she said yes but drove away on a bike. We had to run to catch the boat. Not so nice.
- belén (8/5): -
- Snezhana (10/5): - Owned by local family, who was a great resource for navigating the area!
- hernandez (10/5): -
- Elodie (7/5): - Le personnel etait vraiment super ! Attentif , gentil. Ma fille a été malade, elle a vomit , les filles se sont inquiétées, elles ont demandé des nouvelles. Les draps ont ete changé de suite. Bref , personnel au top.
Chambre joliment décorées. Ah. Le bruit. Enfin pour ma part, c’etait insupportable . Des travaux toute la journée, la musique à fond. Et la nuit, les chiens n’arrêtent pas d’aboyer. De toute la nuit.

- Johanne (10/5): -
- Fiona (9/5): Great place to spend a few nights in San Juan! - Simple but clean and centrally located. The rooftop with the hammocks was amazing and the staff was helpful when it came to organizing tours etc. Nothing
- Damien Chanrion (8/5): Escapade à San Juan - Accueil chaleureux, la famille est vraiment sympa et avenante
Chambre en étage avec terrasse et vue
Petit déjeuner simple mais gourmand
Finalement bien placé avec la vue et le centre à 5 min
Terrain de basket à 50 m
Petite supérette sur place Des fourmis dans la chambre et une douche capricieuse...
Lit double petit
Manque de choix au petit déjeuner et de jus de fruit serait un plus
Frigo commun au 4ème de l'autre bâtiment donc 6 étages à monter et descendre pour l'utiliser...pas le plus simple
- Lucila (10/5): Una buena anfitriona en un lindo espacio - Es un espacio lindo, acogedor
- Anouk (10/5): - Vriendelijkheid personeel en super behulpzaam. Ook met het boeken van tours en vervoer. Niks
- Efstathios (9/5): -
- Yael (9/5): - Great place, great family running the place and helping with what we needed. Best area to go around the lake and still enjoy the silence.
- Geovany (8/5): - Muy bien la verdad muy amables ,las abitaciones muy amplias ,camas cómodas y se duerme muy bien ya que no está en el centro de el pueblo si no que está muy cerda de el lago No me gustó que hicimos una reservación para dos adultos y tres niños y en la reserva nos decía que nos incluía desayuno por el precio de la reserva y nos querían solo dar desayuno para tres ,pero yo les dije que no porque si me cobraron la reserva para 5 es desayuno para 5 a final si cedieron pero después de revisar mi reservación.

- CEZARY (8/5): -
- Kathy (10/5): Very freindly staff, we were served a great breakfast every morning. The hotel is located close to the lake so it was ea - The bedroom was big, there was a kitchen and spacious sitting area right outside our room. Cold shower.
- Carol Viviana (10/5): Excepcional - Tenía desayuno incluido y la habitación que nos fue asignada super amplia y cómoda, las instalaciones en general son muy tranquilas, casi no se escucha ruido por lo que es agradable descansar con tanta tranquilidad, Dalila y Argentina fueron muy amables y nos orientaron y ayudaron con los puntos de interés a visitar. Adicionalmente en el hotel, hay restaurante, tienda, cambio de divisas y tours, super completo, es muy cercano a la playa como a 4 cuadras a mano izquierda (de llegada) del puerto de lanchas públicas por lo que no es necesario pagar tuk para llegar a las instalaciones. Hubo unos huéspedes que en la terraza hicieron asado justo en frente de nuestra puerta de habitación, pero los encargados del hotel nos ayudaron con el inconveniente
- Kacia (9/5): -
- Annie (10/5): - Lovely location near the San Juan port. Lots of hills to climb to get around the village. Lovely staff, the owners are great and the food was amazing !

- Gabriela (10/5): Lugar perfecto para hospedarse en la zona - Está muy bien ubicado, cumple con las especificaciones que indica. Bastante privacidad y espacios muy lindos. Desayuno delicioso.
- Rayyan (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): Beautiful place, great location, stunning terrace, wish I stayed longer! - Loved the terrace with the hammocks and the beautiful view!
- Anthony (10/5): - Everything was perfect!
- Claudia (10/5): Maravilloso - La vistas, las instalaciones, la habitación. El. Desayuno es delicioso. La amabilidad en la atención. Muy cómodo Todo fue perfecto
- Emma (3/5): Cheap place to stay to have a roof over your head and a meal, not much else. - The location was good, it was a short distance from the dock. The breakfast was pretty good as well. There was a great view from the balcony. The facilities were clean. There was drinking water available most of the time. The water shut off every single day we were there. No proactive communication to us about why or when it would be back on. We had to go talk to a child at the front desk each day, and each time they would say, "uno momento".
The shower was completely jerry-rigged, and only a small amount of water came out and it sprayed sideways. There was no reliable hot or even warm water. We had to ask for additional towels (there was only 1 even though we have 3 people in the group).
I know the hotel had no control over this but the power went out for over a day after a rain storm. This means no hot water, no Wifi, and no lighting. We had to ask about it multiple times, there was no proactive communication, and we were given a single candle.
Again, the hotel had no control over this but every night there were very loud sounds: first night was dogs barking and howling all night. Second night was fireworks or bombs exploding.
Although the food was good, the service was slow. The typical breakfast comes with tortillas, but they came long after the rest of the meal so it was cold by the time I could eat. It was difficult to communicate if you don't know Spanish (fair enough - our fault). Could not get more than 1 cup of coffee. We were eager to just get our food and leave.
- Gary (10/5): - Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Very helpful. Really good value.
- Xavier (10/5): -
- Luz Maria (8/5): - Muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar. Pude dejar mi maleta durante el día para recorrer el pueblo. Ubicación cerca del embarcadero si te vas por la orilla, eso si están arreglando esa calle. No me salio agua caliente
- Simon (9/5): - La gentillesse de la doyenne. Les travaux à côté de la chambre.
- Cin (8/5): - Lovely staff and breakfast. Lovely rooftop terrace with great views. Like most places, soundproofing wasn't great.
- Antonia (9/5): -
- Ioanna (9/5): Nice place in Atitlan - The room was very spacious and the terrace had an amazing view! We loved the breakfast and the staff was very helpful and accommodated all our requests.
- Luis (9/5): -
- Tyler (10/5): The owners were extremely nice and accommodating, the room was amazing and we couldn't have asked f - The owners and staff were amazing, they were very friendly and helped us when ever they could. The location was nice it was tucked away from the main strip and allowed us to have a calm night. Our room was on the top of the building allowing us to have hammocks, a nice view, and a space for us to relax. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling at Lake Atitlan The noise during the night was a bit loud but that doesnt take away from the hotel and our experience!
- Sonia (10/5): -
- Juan (9/5): -
- Alexander (9/5): Como en casa - Te facilitan al máximo la visita a san juan , siempre con buenos consejos para conocer la zona y la excursión a la nariz del indio al mejor precio
- Maria Imelda (10/5): - I loved my stay at this place. The room was very clean, a good size. The patio outside the room was shared between the 3 rooms and there was another patio on the level above and another above which had an amazing view. Breakfast was a choice of pancakes and fruit and the tipico with scrambled eggs along with unlimited coffee which set you off for the day. The host Dalila was lovely. There is a shop on the premises for drinks, ice cream etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. N/A

- Angelica Julieth (10/5): - La terrza, las camas, la habitación tenía cocina compartida, todo muy bueno Todo me gusto
- Dayan San (9/5): Buena estancia - Es una linda casa, muy grande con todo lo necesario, incluye el desayuno y esta apartado del bullicio, me encanto, me volvería a quedar
- Lijn (8/5): - Good value place with nice breakfast. Clean and nice view from the roof terrace. There was construction work going on all day in the building so I decided to move to another place, otherwise I would have stayed longer
- virginie (7/5): - L' emplacement est bien la chambre est grande le ménage est fait à notre demande le petit déjeuner compris dans le prix Coupure d eau fréquente eau tiède il est noté qu il y a un réfrigérateur dans la chambre ce qui est faux et la cuisine est plus que rudimentaire
- ariza (10/5): - Espectacular todo! En el hotel encuentras cocina compartida, habitación muy amplia, tienen supermercado, agencia de viajes muy útil para tener todo a la mano.
El personal muy atento, desayuno delicioso, tiene agua super caliente y abundante.
Vista genial, lo recomiendo al 1000% No funcionaba el control de la tv
- heidi (10/5): You can't go wrong with this place if you are looking for value, location, and cleanliness. - You can't go wrong with this place if you are looking for value, location, and cleanliness. The owner super nice, a small but filling breakfast and well priced souvenirs. A kitchen

- Ulises Seco (10/5): -
- virginia (10/5): Superbe séjour - Amabilité et disponibilité du personnel. La décoration: extra! Leurs bons conseils pour découvrir la région
- Tracey (7/5): - Big clean room, nice staff A little out of the city centre
- Julia (10/5): Pros and Cons but Loved My Stay - Staff was absolutely friendly and amazing. The location was perfect and rooms were spacious. The complimentary breakfast was so delicious. Hot showers, shelves for belongings. They also helped me organize my shuttle to get to Guat City after my stay. Again, staff went above and beyond. As others have stated in can be quite noisy but you're in a town not out in the country. The lights outside my room were also quite bright and I had to use a sleep mask at times. Oh and the internet does not always work well (at least within room). I work from my computer so there were a couple evenings I had to go to coffee shop. Still, I would totally stay here again.
- Maxant (5/5): - Great view and chill area on the terrasse. This is a nice plus. However, while you could think that it’s far from the main road, the road in front of the hotel is very noisy.. no noise cancellation anywhere so you can hear people discuss in the street.. Noisy location. Not hot shower as claimed. Slow wifi.
- CAROLE (10/5): Magnifique ! - Tout était parfait ! Accueil chaleureux de la propriétaire au petit soin. L'emplacement est parfait entre le centre ville et le lac.
Une magnifique vue sur le lac avec hamac et chaise confortable pour chiller.
Les chambres sont belles et propres.
Je recommande. Rien tout était super !
- Giovanni Francisco (7/5): - La ubicación Las instalaciones
- Angela (5/5): Bel posto - Un caloroso benvenuto, ottimo servizio di lavanderia, ottima la colazione La pulizia che non viene effettuata ogni giorno; spifferi in camera, e in questo periodo fa freddo qua.
- Guest (10/5): -
- Clare (8/5): Relaxing place with great views - Lovely views and a great place to unwind! Definitely don't miss out on relaxing in the hammocks. The family that run this hotel are very kind, including Argentina herself! There is also a store down the street that is open quite late if you need anything. There were some tiny ants in the room, but this is an issue even in the nicest of places. Just keep some citronella / bug spray with you.
- Luiza Sacramento Edmundo (10/5): -
- Cuche (9/5): - Le personnel super accueillant, serviable et à l'écoute. L'emplacement est bien, près des lanchas. Très bon séjour, le lit était très confortable et il y a même une cuisine pour se préparer des repas.
- Katherinne (4/5): Mal - La cercanía Las sábanas y las almohadas olían súper mal a sudor

- Gerardo Larios (10/5): - La atención y la orientación que proporcionan
- nicola (9/5): Bella vista sel lago - la terrazza con vista lago e la stanza molto colorata un po' fuori dal centro
- Alan (9/5): Great value and good service - Close to the beach
- Natalia (10/5): -
- Enyos (10/5): - Instalaciones y personal muy amable! 😃
- Dayana (10/5): Tranquilidad - La vista es maravillosa.
Dalila es muy amable y está siempre atenta. Se podría mejorar la calidad del papel higiénico.
- esthefanny (10/5): -
- Guest (8/5): Loved it. - The kitchen was great with a stunning view across the lake. The host was super friendly. We had a lovely stay here. Nothing to do with the property, but given its proximity to the lake you’ll need some bug spray for the evenings!
- Areli (10/5): Agradable - La atencion de Dalila fue muy buena, siempre estuvo atenta a las necesidades y nos propociono informacion valiosa para trasladarnos y conocer. Todo quedaba muy cerca de la ubicacion, nos sirvio para ahorrar tiempo. El lugar limpio y comodo para descansar.
- Justine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ewan (9/5): Excellent value for money, family business, beautiful views. - One of the best places we have ever stayed. Staff are so nice and it's a family run business. It's located right near the dock but far enough away that you don't get any noise. The view from the roof terrace and bedroom are amazing. The shower has hot water. The kitchen is of a good standard with lots of utensils & pots. The design and decor is beautiful with lots of murals and nice tiles and lots of plants. They let us check in early, they offer laundry and the WiFi is really strong. We wish we had stayed here longer and would love to come back. Come and stay here and support a family business. Oh and it's excellent value for money. There was no fan or air conditioning which was okay for us as the temperature was below 25 degrees Celsius but could have been a problem if it was hotter, only reasons we didn't give it the full 10/10.
Also there are two separate buildings for the accommodation (they are right next to each other) but our room was on the top floor or one building and the kitchen on the top floor of the other building so if you have any mobility issues this could be challenging, but we didn't mind so much.
- Gladys (9/5): Great place to stay! - The property was clean and the location was very good; few blocks from the dock. Host was very attentive and courteous. Highly recommend. We had access to a wonderful rooftop with hammocks and great views of the lake. Watched spectacular sunrise.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Terri (7/5): Good -
- Colby (7/5): Good -
- Daniel (8/5): Very good -
- Kospi (9/5): Superb - Clean and cozy :)
- Jiya (8/5): Nice vibe, stay for the amazing view, cute private rooms - Amazing view of the lake from the kitchen, good spot for watching sunset&sunrise
Cute little private room with everything you need
Chilled vibe
Hostel had lovely painted walls and decorations I found the kitchen sink (Guatemalan style) difficult to use - wasn’t sure whether things were being cleaned properly with the system and not all the guests were aware of it
Didn’t meet many people as a solo traveller
- Nina (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and very spacious! Excellent value for money
- Andrew (9/5): Superb - The room was really nice, very well decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. The shower wasn't really that hot, but it didn't need to be, as it was hot enough anyway outside. Check-in was really easy, and the place is really well located near the water and only a short walk from the centre of town. The WiFi was very good and fast and the rooftop was really nice too. There was no mirror in the bathroom, which was a bit of a pain, having to move from the sink to the mirror to shave, for example. It would also have been good to have a free filtered water supply to use to fill up my water bottle, as was the case with all the other hotels I stayed in so far in Guatemala.
