Guest Reviews

• Randi (10/5): Rolig og fint i nydelige omgivelser - Var så fine utemuligheter og rolig
• Tristán De Acuña (8/5): -
• Lena (6/5): -
• Martha (6/5): No volvería - Camas grandes en la Habitación de dos camas dobles. Instalaciones muy antiguas, el closet era húmedo, viejo, desagradable 😷. Las zonas comunes no tenían ventiladores y eran demasiado calientes. En general el servicio no nos pareció muy bueno, el desayuno muy básico y el lunch box aún más básico. Por el precio creo que no lo vale.
• Emma (4/5): Dissapointment - Quite rude service from staff. After the check-in they didn’t explain anything about where the toilets and shower were. And on my last night the receptionist came to my room and blamed that I had a visitor, even when I travelled alone. Didn’t feel safe or welcomed.
• Maria (8/5): En general bien - Nos alojamos en una habitación privada. El dormitorio está bien, con camas muy cómodas y aire acondicionado. En cambio el baño es muy antiguo, incluso dando la impresión de sucio, no nos gustó, y hacía demasiado calor, supongo que por falta de ventilación. El desayuno es sencillo, el café no está incluido. La ubicación está muy bien. Creo que el baño debería ser remodelado, igual que la habitación.
• Javier (9/5): - Está súper bien ubicado. El hotel es muy bonito. Y el personal es demasiado atento. Muy responsables con la gestión de los Tours que ofrecen El desayuno es bastante básico. No hicieron aseo en la habitación mientras estuvimos alojados
• Daniela Carolina (10/5): -
• Marquez (10/5): Super cómodo - Me encantó la disponibilidad inmediata que tenían y la atención personalizada
• Roger (6/5): Correcte amb algunes mancances - La ubicació molt cèntrica. Bona relació qualitat preu i una bona opció per fer una nit a la Isla de Flores. El lavabo era una mica justet, tot i tenir l'esmorzar inclòs el cafè s'ha de pagar a part perquè no està inclòs. Tenint una cafeteria al mateix hotel sembla una estratègia de venta una mica barroera. Teniem una habitació similar a una familiar amb dos llits dobles, només vam fer ús d'un, l'altre no era molt net. Els coixins eren molt tous i poc voluminosos, un tema recorrent a tots els allotjaments del país.
• Jennifer Soraya (10/5): Maravilloso! - El lugar es bellísimo, las instalaciones estaban limpias y el personal era muy amable. Está muy bien ubicado. Me encantó! El desayuno me lo empacaron para llevar a mi tour y estaba delicioso
• Guest (8/5): Nice hostel in great location - Spacious room, hot water for showers, cafe attached to the hostel was good and had nice bagels, coffee and Crepes. Easy to book transport and tours through the hostel for fair prices. Breakfast was included but wasn't great.
• Loretto (9/5): -
• Leonie (9/5): - Très propre, il y a une climatisation. Le personnel est sympa et le petit dej est complet. Bruyant
• Botond (9/5): -
• Lina (10/5): - Muy cómodo, el personal muy amable, las instalaciones limpias y lindas Todo salió muy bien
• Dora Yamile (8/5): confortable - El cafe en la entrada es muy acogedor la zona de descanso es muy pequeña
• Charlotte (8/5): Goed hostel! - Goed hostel! Comfortabele bedden, 2 geweldige katten! Douches stonken wat, maar wel proper!
• Rita (9/5): -
• Michelangelo (10/5): -
• Joanna (9/5): -
• Yago (8/5): -
• Daniel (8/5): - The location and Hostel vibes were in general excellent for the price. There is think in Guatemala in general and in all commercial stores, restaurants, groceries stores and tours that everything need to be pay on cash, if you don't have, they charge you an extra of 8% and in other places 5%, that was kind annoying because you don't plan your vacation having every penny on cash. that was really annoying looking for cash, also there is only one place for exchange. so, make sure or get the cash you will need otherwise you will not be able to buy a bottle of water. Shared showers don't have shelf at least people can put they belongings, and not in the floor where everything gets wet.
• Maria Elisa (6/5): -
• Veronika (7/5): Netter Aufenthalt - Sehr gut gelegen auf der Insel. Guter Kaffe im Café nebenan. Für unsere Tour, welche um 3 Uhr nachts startete, bekamen wir eine Lunchbox zubereitet. Man muss wissen, dass man direkt neben Bars und Clubs nächtigt. Bis 2 Uhr nachts ist es sehr laut.
• Marsella (6/5): -
• Raisa (7/5): Se vc não for europeu ou estadunidense, não espere uma boa recepção. - O hostel tem até instalações boas e água quente. As camas são confortáveis e tem ar condicionado nos quartos, o que ajuda muito, pois a cidade é muito quente. O hostel é bem central, apesar da ilha ser pequena, achei a localização boa. Se vc não for europeu ou estadunidense, não espere uma boa recepção. Não vão te dar as informações completas para as suas dúvidas. Marquei um shuttle para ir pra Belize e não me deram, sequer, o formulário que precisa ser preenchido e entregue na imigração (todos os gringos receberam o documento), muito menos que eu precisava imprimir várias documentações para entrar no país. Também perguntei se teria algum transporte para ir ao aeroporto, me informaram que eu poderia pegar um tuktuk na rua. Quando acordei, vi um taxista esperando um casal de gringos para leva-los ao aeroporto, transporte que foi agendando pelo hostel. O café da manhã é bem simples pelo valor do hostel e não oferecem café, vc precisa comprar à parte. Pedi uma cama embaixo, fui duas vezes na recepção conferir se poderia ficar em baixo e o recepcionista informou que a cama em baixo disponível estava reservada. Fui embora e ninguém chegou no local. Ou seja, é um local feito pra gente branca e de olhos azuis. O que me deixa extremamente decepcionada, uma vez que no Brasil essas pessoas jamais seriam tratadas assim… levo uma péssima impressão pra casa.
• Selena (6/5): - location The smell of the painting in the room. They provide the booking service for bus to Guatemala city, but its expensive then booking directly from the bus’ officially website, the staff mentioned they included the taxi service, but only until 8 pm, if your bus is late then 8 pm, you still have to wait in bus station and which the staff did not tell me before I down the payment.
• Alberto (8/5): Very good - Very central, quiet and good vibes Would need more bathrooms
• Edison (9/5): Superb -
• Diana (8/5): Very good -
• Anna (9/5): Superb - I had a great time at Macarena Hostel! Edwin took excellent care of me and helped arrange everything from taxis to tours. Breakfast is included and the room I stayed in was very comfortable. I have no complaints!
• Olivia (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay at Macarena Hostel could not have been better! We stayed in a private room and it was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff went out of their way to be helpful, including storing our luggage once we’d checked out and continuing to allow access to facilities including showers before we departed for our night bus. The attached cafe was delicious too! It’s in a very central location so there was noise from the street, particularly between 10-12pm. It didn’t bother us at all but light sleepers might need ear plugs!
• David (8/5): Very good - beds having a small fan would be Nice.
• Branislav (9/5): Superb -
• Isabella (8/5): Very good -
• Harry (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice and comfortable. Very friendly staff. There are two comfy little kittens that sit outside and sun bathe. Also recommend booking the Tikal tour with them. Very well organized and pick up is so close by!
• Yuchen (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast is quite nice! And there are cute cats in the hostel! The place is quite convenient too
• Ella (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (5/5): Passable -
• Sergio (10/5): Very good hostel in Flores - We stayed in the private room and the beds were really comfy and the room big. Nothing
• Hongyu (10/5): Exceptional - i am a 66 years old female solo traveller from China, this is my first time to try staying at a hostel. I have a great experience in Macarena hostel. everything is well designed. Edwin (he works at front desk) is so nice, make me feel relaxed. thanks! everything
• Liad (7/5): Good -
• Maisy (9/5): Superb - Lovely hostel. Staff incredibly helpful, with extra special shoutout to Edwin who answered each and every of my inane queries. I was the only one in the dorm and they were kind enough to turn on the A/C beyond the scheduled hours. Tiny gripe is that breakfast didn't include coffee despite being attached to a coffee shop. Minor thing in the context of the overall stay.
• Joshua (10/5): Fantastic stay on the island of Flores - +Great location on the island of Flores +Staff very friendly, the guy on the front desk is lovely +Breakfast is included +Large private room with en suite +Very comfortable beds +Nice lighting with lamps +Great shower with hot water +Double glazed windows which reduced noise on the street, so it was quiet +Free water refill -The breakfast setup is a bit awkward, with having to order at the cafe, and the lady there is a bit moody and didn’t explain anything to us about how the process works. -Price was quite high for a backpacker budget
• Dana (10/5): Thank you I enjoyed staying at your hostel, the stuff are so nice . Thanks to Edwin for helping with everything that I n - Everythingggg so good Especially the two cute cats
• Maddison (8/5): Very good -
• Faze3000 (9/5): Superb -
• Donna (9/5): Superb - Good location, really nice clean hostel! Bathrooms and showers were kept clean and shower had good pressure! Our dorm room was clean and had lockers and air con. Nice breakfast included, and the option of packed lunches if going on early tours. The cafe attached was really cute too! Although we were greatful for the air con in the room the staff were in control of turning it off so it stayed on all night making the room extremely cold- nice for coming back to during the day but tough during the night!
• Patrizia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gustavo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexandre (7/5): Good -
• Sarang (8/5): Very good - It was good. Food and drink are really not great.
• Pauline (9/5): Amazing stay, perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful place before exploring Tikal - Really nice stay, good communication with staff, really clean and super central The guest kitchen is not super equipped and it’s really hot inside so not a real pleasure to cook there
• Trevor (8/5): Very good -
• Régis (9/5): Superb -
• Laura (9/5): Superb -
• Nancy (7/5): Short visit to see Tikal. Coffee shop looked and smelled fantastic but I had early shuttles/tours. - Close to where the shuttles are. Rooms are hot!
• Abby (9/5): Very comfortable, friendly staff. Would recommend - Location, spacious, and super comfortable. Staff were helpful too. Breakfast was bland and we only had cold water in shower. It was so hot in Flores though that we didn’t mind too much.
• Sophia (9/5): Superb - good kitchen, small breakfast included, very clean, nice staff, very nice location
• Candice (9/5): A cat lovers paradise - Very bright and beautiful building, having a cafe built in is very helpful. The staff were very accommodating, and even with my little Spanish they were helpful in me getting my laundry done and holding my backpack while I waited to check in. There are a couple cats there named Mikaela and Juana who are adorable and one even climbed into my bed with me, it was a very welcome surprise since I missed my own cat at home. There is also A/C in the rooms, and a place to refill your waterbottle! It would be great to have colder water in the refill station, however it is not a necessity.
• Yeong (10/5): Exceptional -
• Milena (9/5): This is your place to speak way and recharge energies after a long walk - I felt in love with the kittens around. I like the vibe so chill and calm and is nice to have a coffee shop there. Couch needs a replacement as is not comfy anymore. Not bad, but not to sit for a while. Tours fares are a little bit high comparing to other stays.
• Jonty (10/5): Nice and pleasant stay - The staff were friendly and they had kittens. Also beds were comfy and rooms had air conditioning. N/A
• Shiori (8/5): Very good - Breakfast, location and comfy bed. AC in dorm was set in super low I was freezing.
• Kaitlyn (6/5): Pleasant -
• Renata (9/5): Great location - The location was great. The beds were comfy, good aircon and nice coffee bar downstairs It’s super noisy, but nothing that good earplugs can’t fix.
• Jesse (9/5): Great spot, would recommend! - Great location, nice staff, good breakfast, and AC was critical. The power to the entire island went out, which wasn't the hostel's fault. But, it meant that AC didn't work which wasn't ideal.
• Oliver (9/5): Comfortable, cheap, in the city center. - Edwin the guy at the reception was very kind and always helpful when I had questions. I was also allowed to let my bags there, even if I didn't spend another night there. I was also allowed to take a shower in the afternoon, after the Tikal hike. The room was quiet with a good AC. Also the showers and toilets were clean. Many plants creates a relaxing vibe. The breakfast could be a little bit more, but was totally fine.
• Priscila (8/5): Comfortable - The place is comfortable. I looooved the beds, I really needed to rest after the volcano hiking, and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast was great, and the area (inside and outside) was clean and beautiful. The communication seemed a bit off sometimes. Water was hot one morning, cold another. Unfortunately, i only got one day of hot shower. When i asked, they said there was a problem, but why they didnt tell us? They also moved me to another bed without telling me. The problem is that they got my stuff, which were on my bed, and moved to another one. I got super stressed when I arrived and didn't see my things, and also, I don't think they should move our stuff around without asking for permission.
• Sara (9/5): Superb - Breakfast, outdoor patio available, air conditioning, hammock on deck Even with good windows and air conditioning, the party noise from the street below is very noisy . (2nd floor room) We were there on the weekend before Easter. Probably anywhere in the town would have the same issue.
• Maëleen (7/5): Good for a short stay in Flores - The location of the hostel is perfect, on the island, in a cute street, next to some groceries little shops opened late. The check in must be before 10pm but if your flight has delayed like mine there is some 24h/7 so they will still be able to proceed the check in. If you pay by cash it is less expensive. You access the bedrooms and bathrooms via an inner courtyard. The bathrooms are mixed and the shower doors do not have a lock. There are only 2 toilets downstairs so it happened I had queue... There is a potable water fountain in the courtyard. Next to the bed there is a little light and a plug which is great as well as curtains, and in the bedroom there are lockers to put your belongings (bring your lock). There are some books in the common area. And there is a coffee in the hostel where you will have your breakfast. The breakfast is ok but not really feeding (not much) just eggs, a little portion of fruit and 3-4 little slices of bread. The juice is amazing! Coffee is not included. What I really disliked is that they knew I was leaving at 6 am (I let them know by messages before my arrival to ask if it is ok at an early checkout) and no one told me I had to explicitly request a take away breakfast. The breakfast starts at 7 am so I just thought I could not have mine even if included. And when I left the guy asked me if I requested the breakfast last night to take away (he had two packages behind him): No. Because no one told me I could...
• Cheintai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claudia (8/5): Very good -
• Joe (9/5): Superb -
• Kara (8/5): Very good -
• Carla (8/5): cleanest hostel Ive ever stayed At! - 4 beds dorm was a bit tiny and lacks lockers but still felt safe. Also it would be amazing if they charge a bit more and breakfast includes coffee. Its a bit annoying to have to pay jt separetely. Other than that all good! :)
• Kwon (4/5): About safety. - Someone came into my room and took my travel money from my bag. I regret not taking safety seriously, but I am also disappointed in the hotel for not providing a solution or a way to resolve this. If you are planning to stay at this hotel, please take care of your own safety.
• Alina (8/5): Very good -
• Wiebke (7/5): Good - - it would have been good to have a locker for ur important stuff - shared kitchen was such a mess - breakfast was good but they didn't tell me that I have to make a reservation the night before until 6 o'clock for the takeaway lunch instead of the breakfast
• Brittany (5/5): Passable -
• Vesanto (10/5): Exceptional - The cleanliness of the shared kitchen could use some improvement. There was mouse droppings on the shelves, which was very unpleasant. There were also two small cats in the hostel, which may have been brought in because of the mouse problem. The pots, plates and glasses are on the ground level, so the cats move around in them, which was not very hygienic.
• Judith (9/5): Superb -
• Adam (2/5): Hell on earth - Cute playful kittens at breakfast , person behind reception came and helped us. Good air con. Exceptionally loud at night in our road-side room. 70 decibels at midnight.
• Jordan (8/5): Comfortable, kind staff, decent location! But loud at night in the weekends- not the hostel, but the general location. - Comfortable, good staff, decent location. Loved the hammock balcony! Little loud at night on the weekends- not the hostel itself, just its location. Maybe don’t stay on the island of Flores if you want a quieter night.
• Amelia (7/5): Great location, good breakfast and helpful staff - Central location in Flores, staff were very helpful in helping us book onward travel Room was comfortable but our AC didn’t work all the time
• Tamara (9/5): Superb - Cool theme-everything orange Perfect location Friendly staff In my opinion the chemicals/parfume/scent in the bathroom was too strong
• Rosario (9/5): Superb -
• Rosario (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jeffery (6/5): Pleasant -
• Valerio (9/5): Superb -
• Lieve (8/5): Very good - Great atmosphere. Nice areas to sit and relax in. Not always clean.. especially the kitchen.
• Mateus (1/5): Bad - They charge 8% to use credit card, even you reserving through booking
• Thiago (6/5): Pleasant - Location is great, beds were comfy, with power outlets and curtains. The rooms are small, with no windows. They have AC turned on during night, so it gets very cold (ask for an extra blanket), most of people would start sneezing the next day. During the day, when the AC is off, is impossible to stay in. There's a open garden in the middle of the hostel, so whenever it started raining (which happens a lot in Flores), the floors were all dirty, even with staff trying their best. Not enough showers and bathrooms for the amount of guests. Anyway, my expectations were higher, especially because it's not the cheapest hostel.
• Tali (8/5): Fun and clean but no social atmosphere - Fun! Clean No social atmosphere at all. Very awkward
• Anna (8/5): Very good - Great hostel in Flores island. Rooms are nice and comfy and I really appreciated the included breakfast! While there was no coffee included it does come with another drink (juice).
• Kukka-maria (9/5): Superb -
• Sanne (8/5): Good stay - Good beds, good location, simple but tasty breakfast which is included in the price, friendly staff, kitchen to use, however the kitchen is not very organized. Be aware that dorm B6 doesn't have lockers! Also this dorm can be a bit noisy because it's on the street side, but with good ear plugs you should be fine. Good AC as well and hot showers! Young travellers.
• Ilil (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful, calm atmosphere. The staff were super helpful, patient, and calm. 100% recommend!
• Eloi (8/5): Highly recommended! - Staff was accomodating, swapped our free breakfast for lunch to go when we had an early morning expedition Ran out of water for 48 hours and staff was a bit overwhelmed/unprepared but hopefully that's a rare occurence
