Guest Reviews

Alejandra Trujillo (10/5): - Es un eco hotel espectacular! No queda tan lejos del centró lo que hace que sea muy silencioso, ideal para un buen descanso, las instalaciones son hermosas, limpias y su sistema de ecología me parece un buen aporte al mundo. Tiene restaurante la comida es deliciosa, un plato alcanza perfecto para 2 personas. No tengo ningún comentario.
Elboukili Elhassani (10/5): -
Mariska (8/5): - Really nice spacious bungalows in nature. A bit further from the centre, but great place to relax and still close enough to walk to the centre. Staff was super friendly, shower was hot. We had plantain with mole for dessert, which was delicious! -
Laura (10/5): - Really clean and quiet place It’s a little walk to the city but not that bad
Nadine (10/5): Sehr besonderes Öko-Hotel - Super freundliche Mitarbeiter und tolle Lage oberhalb der Stadt! Grandioses Frühstück
Camille (10/5): -
Anna (10/5): Lovely hostel, feels like home - I love this hostel! It really feels like home. The staff are lovely, the beds are comfortable, dorms spacious, mosquito nets provided, laundry service was good, the food in the restaurant is affordable and really good, they have great tours, a space to do yoga (and sometimes a yoga teacher/ classes organised). Everything is clean and the showers are spacious with hot water. If you book a shuttle with them they take you to the pick up point in the morning and wait with you which is so nice. I was sick and missed my shuttle and staff helped me reorganise it, helped me with my bags and were really kind asking me how I was feeling. I felt really welcome and safe here. Nothing!
Anna (10/5): -
Rachel (7/5): - The place is very clean, it was also a nice place to stay. It was an original concept! The bed wasn’t very confortable. And also the bathroom is outside of the bedroom so not a lot of intimacy. And the bathroom was dry so it’s different of what we are used to. :)
Boroka (9/5): -
Dunvel (10/5): Très agréable - Le lieu est super, très vert, le restaurant végétarien est très bon. Les salles de bains sont grandes et la douche est très agréables. Il faudrait juste rajouter des rideaux au lits des dortoirs surtout qu’il y a pas mal d’activité proposés qui nécessitent de se lever tôt dans la nuit. Même problème du au fait que les portes grincent assez fort.
Adèle (7/5): - L'emplacement un peu reculé de la ville est sympa sans trop être éloigné. L'endroit est dans un grand jardin agréable. Toilettes sèches propres. Des rongeurs font du bruit H24 dans la toiture du dortoir. Pas agréable ! Les horaires du restaurant sont limités. Eau chaude fonctionnant 1 coup sur 3 mais douches froides agréables. Lumière du dortoir en pleine tête lorsqu'on dort au lit supérieur.
Tessa (10/5): Staying at MayAchik was a treat! - I loved the nature, the people, the eco concept, the food they offered at the restaurant, and the abundance of awesome activities they organized. The staff was always eager to help! The room was very clean and the town was also by far the best on the lake.
Laurent (10/5): Much needed oasis - Little piece of calm and greenery. The huts are awesome. As is the owner (Evelyn her name I think ?)
Tonja (10/5): - Freundlichkeit und Kompetenz der Mitarbeitenden Schön in der Natur Unterstützung bei allen Fragen und Tours Gutes Essen
Lorenza (10/5): Nature full immersion 👍 - L’immersione nel verde. Bar ristorante super! Stanza spaziosissima. I rumori degli animali nei paraggi.
Marjolein (7/5): (Too)large cabin in green garden, with little place to sit outside - Good location: walking distance to the center and quiet. Nice green garden. Friendly staff. Shared kitchen and private kitchen. Large house. Nice that they have an eco mindset. The house was way too large for 2 people, which felt a bit strange. Garden is beautiful, but has very little places to sit and relax. At the house itself was no outside sitting area. There is a vegetarian restaurant on the site, but we found the food disappointing. Plastic cover on the bed was uncomfortable.

luca (10/5): -
Ana (7/5): A good place to stay. If you're in a private room, ask for the staff to clean the toilets every day. - Overall, the room was fine. Spacious and clean. The composting toilet was smelly. We had to ask 2x for the staff to come and clean it. After that, it was OK but really, the toilets need to be cleaned every day or every other day. Also, the community kitchen could use an upgrade all around.
CHARLES RAFAEL (10/5): Cosy and peaceful stay - Mayachik was a great spot to spend some time in the lake. Even though it's not lakefront like other villages in the lake, it has the advantage of having a really wide green area, from where you can see the mountains around it, it's very beautiful and stay in a calm and peaceful place. I was working remotely, and there are lots of outdoor work stations with outlets and a very strong and stable wifi. The sustainable approach, with dry toilets and solar energy, was also very nice. Their restaurant have great food, with a very reasonable price and a good amount of food, it's nice to have some deals there. There's also a very spacious kitchen if you wanna make your own food. Beds were very comfortable and showers had hot water with good pressure. Also, staff was very kind and helpful all the time, with many locals working there as well.
Christiane (10/5): - Die Häuser, der Garten, die Atmosphäre, die Menschen - alles in MayAchik ist freundlich und wunderschön gestaltet, eine Oase im wunderschönen San Juan la Laguna! Mit dem Tuktuk kamen wir entspannt aus der Stadt hierher, die Stadt ist aber auch fußläufig entspannt erreichbar. Wir haben unsere Zeit hier sehr genossen und weil es so schön war noch verlängert.
carol (10/5): -
Griselda (5/5): Disappointing. Overpriced - Staff was nice. Hot water (when there’s electricity) is good. We were very excited about this place but turned out to be very disappointing. Very precarious facilities, like a camping ground. Loooong uneven stairs to access the rooms. Bad internet, no backup for power outages even when they lasted 15 hours, two in our 5 nights stay. Pictures look much better than reality. There’s construction work in the property making it noisy. Facilities are often reserved for groups and closed for other guests. We had dinner at the restaurant one night, waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our food. One of the dishes was cold.
Salomé (10/5): - La chambre était très confortable, avec une superbe vue sur les montagnes. L'hôtel est particulièrement agréable, au milieu de la végétation et le restaurant qui sert petit déjeuner, déjeuner et dîner permet d'en profiter un maximum. L'hôtel est légèrement excentré mais il y a beaucoup de tuk tuk ce n'est donc pas un problème.
Aminah (10/5): -
Anne (9/5): super sejour à l'Eco hotel Mayachik - Le personnel est vraiment super pour organiser, tours et transferts c'est top! l'hotel est très tranquille on peut se relaxer sous les arbres dans un hamac et manger sur place tout est frais et le petit dejeuner copieux. on a apprécié de pouvoir utiliser la cuisine commune quand le restaurant n'était pas encore ouvert.Le lit est confortable et la double couette bien adaptée aux nuits fraiches. rien
Robert (10/5): -
Jorge Luis (10/5): Increíble lugar - Las vistas del alojamiento
Carine Drijkoningen (9/5): - Lekkere maaltijden, behulpzaam personeel, ruime kamers, heerlijke massage genoten Neem je tijd als je er wil eten, want het duurt erg lang (tot een uur wachten). Jammer genoeg werd de drank ook erg laat gebracht
Etienne (9/5): -
Adélie (9/5): -
Marion (7/5): Charmant mais un peu décevant - Le lieu est vraiment charmant. Le jardin et les espaces extérieurs sont agréables. Il est bien situé (le trajet se fait sans problème à pied entre San Juan et l'hôtel) et la cuisine est bonne. La vue sur les montagnes depuis notre bungalow était très belle. L'odeur dans notre bungalow était vraiment pénible entre les toilettes sèches dont le système est très perfectible et les évacuations de la douche et du lavabo qui sentaient très mauvais (pas de siphon). J'avoue que, en règle générale, nous avons été un peu déçus par les installations par rapport aux descriptions et au prix.
Camille (8/5): Calme absolue, confort, bienveillance des gens ici, j’ai adoré ! - Le calme absolu de ce lieu. Les gens qui y séjournent. Les lits en dortoir sont confortables. Les repas copieux et tres bon. J’y serai bien restée une nuit de plus. Je recommande cet endroit ! L’extérieur pourrait être un tout petit plus entretenu, mais sinon RAS

Alexandra (8/5): Beautiful oasis in the mountains - The location was stunning. Away from the town in the jungle it is a small oasis. The showers are amazing and the rooms are perfect. All spaces are clean and well thought out. I wouldn’t recommend the laundry service. It is very expensive and they turned all of my clothes red! They did try their best to fix it. But in the end turned the blame onto me instead.
Morgane (9/5): De belles expériences humaines - Nous avons aimé l'accueil, le petit déjeuner excellent et le jardin luxuriant avec des fleurs incroyables! L'hôtel propose des tours passionnantes. L'atelier de peinture avec Francisco était génial, quelle fierté de pouvoir réaliser sa propre oeuvre à la manière des artistes locaux! Et la visite culturelle avec Evelia nous a appris de nombreuses choses sur San Juan et nous a aidé à comprendre davantage la belle culture maya. Le confort un peu spartiate et le manque de moustiquaires aux fenêtres.
Ross (10/5): - Really nice hostel, quiet and out in nature, can see many stars at night. Super kind staff. The food was also delicious. Strong Wifi (usually 10-20 Mbps, 2 different networks). Met some awesome other travelers. Nice hammocks. Nice communal kitchen. But the staff is the best part, seriously amazing. Dinner took about an hour to prepare. Maybe bring earplugs for the roosters. Shower was only hot 1 out of 3 days - maybe the key is to shower before sunset.
Rachel (5/5): Beautiful grounds and nice staff, but the facilities could be improved. - This is for sure an eco friendly hotel. Very beautiful and sprawling grounds. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, they brought us extra pillows when requested. San Juan is a really lovely town to stay in and explore. They offer a lot of activites and tours, which we did not take advantage of as we were only there for two nights. Unfortunately, it felt like we were the first ones to use the kitchen in a while. The pans and plates were not clean, and the fridge had to be plugged in. For sure a rustic feel to the place, which is to be expected, but our room had a lot of bugs in it. One of our bags got infested with biting ants. Its in a secluded location, and we didn't feel comfortable walking back at night.
Courtney (10/5): -
Rieke (7/5): Nachhaltiges Hostel - Hostel bei dem Wert auf Nachhaltigkeit gelegt wird, gutes Essen im dazugehörigen Restaurant, sehr hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter Kein Aufenthaltsraum außer dem Restaurant und auch das war halb draußen und daher abends recht kalt Gym und Yoga Bereich sehr in die Jahre gekommen
Peter (10/5): Fanulous - The whole concept was amazing. If you want great vegetarian food, a peaceful atmosphere and a feeling of well being this place is for you. Original and ethical. Highly recommendef
Pauline (7/5): -
Katharine (10/5): - We enjoyed the eco-hotel experience, feeling close to nature and knowing the design minimized environmental impact. The staff was so friendly and helpful, assisting us in arranging excursions. Definitely recommend the sunrise hike up Rostro Maya (if you like moderately strenuous climbs). We had delicious meals in the cafe and appreciated books and games while waiting. Minor issue but we found the beds to be very hard. Otherwise the comfort was great - very clean, nice hot water in the showers, appreciate the laundry line.
Pascal (10/5): - Very warm welcome, beautiful scenery
Katharina (9/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich, herzlich und hilfsbereit! Es ist schön, dass v.a. lokale Personal hier arbeitet. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und das Abendessen sehr lecker. Man sollte sich darauf einstellen, bei der Bestellung beim Abendessen etwas Geduld oder etwas zum Lesen etc. mitzubringen, weil man teils länger auf sein Essen wartet, denn alles wird frisch zubereitet. Wir hatten einige mittelgroße Spinnen im Zimmer, was nichts mit der Sauberkeit zu tun hat, sondern bei einem Eco-Hotel mitten in der Natur einfach so vorkommt. Das sollte man vll. zuvor wissen. Wir hatten eine Tour gebucht, die um 3 Uhr nachts starten sollte. Fertig angezogen und mit Gepäck warteten wir dann jedoch vergeblich mitten in der Nacht auf unseren Guide. Dann sahen wir, dass man uns kurz vor Mitternacht eine Nachricht geschickt hatte, dass kein Guide auffindbar war. Wir hätten uns hier eine bessere Kommunikation gewünscht.
Dibymar (10/5): - La atención del personal es excelente, muy amables, te dan opciones de actividades para realizar en San Juan y en los pueblos cercanos. La comida es deliciosa y tienen amplias opciones de tours y transporte. El lugar es muy tranquilo, ideal para descansar y está muy cerca del pueblo.
Liz (10/5): A wonderful spot to stay away from the chaos of the market but close enough to walk to enjoy exploring. The free tours t - Very peaceful setting and so very safe. The staff were so kind and helpful. The food - both breakfast and dinner was fantastic- freshly made and delicious. Nothing
Tanja (10/5): - Everything was perfect. Really delicious Vegetarian restaurant with Vegan options. Strong Wifi. The place is very sustainable with many nature products. Many plants in the garden and places to rest. They organize tours and shuttle services, which are also well planned. Not to forget the kind staff working there, trying to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
Thomas (8/5): - Was a nice place to stay and start exploring the city and some hikes around.
Lisa (10/5): perfekter platz am atitlansee! - ich war über weihnachten dort,es gab eine party und alle gäste konnten zusammen feiern.die lage etwas abseits vom haupttrubel ist sehr entspannend.dicke decken für nachts,wlan super,riesenbungalow.da es ansonsten nirgends richtig gutes essen gab war ich nur dort im sehr leckeren restaurant essen….kleiner tip: ear plugs helfen gegen den hahn in der nachbarschaft,das ist halt so auf dem land. alles bestens
Belinda (9/5): Authentic rustiness and personal authentic experience. Great food and vibe. - Authentic rustiness and personal authentic experience. Great food and vibe. Nice to be away from the energy of the town centre.
Carolina (10/5): - It was soooo clean and everything was organised super well; staff was amazing Location
Hernandez (7/5): - Las vistas Las camas, no son cómodas
Sébastien (7/5): -
Sarah-Maude (8/5): Awesome staff - The staff was very nice, available, helpful and welcoming. Cheers to the owner and Milton. The photos that were promoted online were not aligned with reality. We expected more chilling spot, and thats why we went for this hostel but we ended up spending very little time there. We felt like the property was lacking some love in terms of the facilities and maintenance. The communal kitchen, the sauna and the gym wouldn’t be in service, many items from the restaurant were not available, to name a few.
Rony Rene (10/5): Buena atención y servicio muy bien - Desayuné afuera del hotel
Yasmin (9/5): - Really cool hotel, set a 10min walk up from the centre of town it gives the chance to embrace the lakeside forest. The staff were super helpful providing advice and there a variety of activities are available to choose from. The room was spacious and exactly as advertised!
Imogen (10/5): This is the best hostel, we were so comfortable here. San Juan is a great base from which to explore the Lake. The hosts -

Ken (10/5): - Beautifully located in a lush and green environment, good food and amazing warm and hospitable staff, just incredible on good they are doing their job! Our room was nice and clean with a good view on the jungle scenerey and mountains.
Sacha (9/5): Good dorms but bathroom could be improved - Vibe was good, dorms were quite and clean, Restaurant was good and staff was helpfull Bathroom were inside the dorms, making noise and showers could be better
Lisa (9/5): Nice secluded eco retreat with a lush setting that was very affordable. - Good set up, fitting all budget levels. I was there in the rainy season and had the entire dorm to myself! Food was very good. My only issue was, like most of the places I have been in Lake Atitlan, there is a lack of benches or chairs to sit on to enjoy the peace of the lush surroundings.

María del Carmen (10/5): - Personal amable.
Obermeier-Igrc (8/5): - Das Personal ist bemerkenswert zuvorkommend. Es gibt viele nützliche Services wie Restaurantessen, Shuttlebuchung, Ausflüge. Heißes Wasser in der Dusche. Man spürt den Nachhaltigkeitdgedanken Die Betten und Kopfkissen im Dorm sind eher unbequem und durchgelegen. Abends ist es laut durch Hundebellen und bei meiner Reise im November etwas kalt beim Einschlafen
Réal (10/5): La terrasse - Personel aimable
Tizian (10/5): Peaceful get away from the crowds - An amazing stuff, beautiful nature
Leonardo (10/5): Um lugar perfeito para viver San Juan de forma genuína - A acomodação oferece um espaço único em San Juan. Você fica imerso na natureza, é atendido por uma equipe muito atenciosa e qualificada e conta também com um restaurante com comidas incríveis!! Se tiver que falar sobre algo que não gostei, talvez seja a localização que fica um pouco mais afastada do centrinho, mas da beira do lago até lá são 13 minutos caminhando ou 3 minutos de tuktuk.

Sofia (9/5): - Deliciosa comida vegetariana en el restaurante y vistas hermosas desde las cabañas. Las duchas son muy amplias y cómodas. El personal es muy amable. Los baños permanecen muy limpios, sin embargo es importante considerar que hay que salir de las cabañas para llegar a ellos, lo cual puede ser inconveniente para familias con niños o personas que requieran hacer un uso constante del servicio sanitario. Cuando fuimos llovió en varias ocasiones, por lo que nos mojamos un poco en el trayecto. Esto no fue un problema para nosotras, pero sería ideal que coloquen sombrillas en las cabañas.

Jana (10/5): - Fantastic place! We stayed for two weeks while my daughter was volunteering nearby. Comfortable, clean, excellent food and they went above and beyond to take care of anything we needed.
Gidi Hendriks (9/5): Just out of town, really nice stay at San Juan - Lovely out of town nature area. The area is very touristy, so we loved the fact that this place was a bit oit of town and more quiet. Also compared with the other villages wel love San Juan the most. Very friendly staff en amazing setup with the lovely cabins in the middle of nature. The bed was pretty hard. That's probably just a matter of personal preference. The restaurant is great but limited. And the choices in the village in this time of the year too. We ate at Soco's down the road one evening and loved it. So if you like so.more variation that could be an option

Margaret (9/5): Relax in nature - Excellent restaurant, nice cabins, beautiful natural setting, helpful staff
Corinna (10/5): A true Eco hotel, a beautiful natural setting! - The gardens were absolutely beautiful! We loved finding fresh avocados dropping from the trees, identifying the flowers, and seeing Bunches of bananas! The communal kitchen was wonderful. There were very sweet dogs to play with, and the boys were so happy to be able to drive their trucks in some dirt. We loved doing yoga on our little patio and sitting in the hammock. After spending time in the city, this was just a beautiful retreat! We also really enjoyed the weaving tour and the stingless bees tour that were included. The trade-off was that it was about a 10 minute walk to get into town. We love the composting toilets, but they did have a little bit of a smell. Might have been nice to be able to burn some incense at night. The mosquito nets over the beds were helpful, but it would have been great to have screens over the windows or door so we could open up.
Alena (8/5): Very good - Mayachik is a lovely place to stay away from the crowds. The gardens are cozy and provide plenty of privacy for relaxation. The bungalows are sealed very well, so little to no critters get inside. The shower is hot, and a traditional sauna makes a great addition to the experience. All food is freshly prepared, and they happily hold the food in case you’re running late. Filtered water is an essential bonus. For such a tranquil place, it is very loud at night. The village dogs, roosters, and parties made my sleep inconsistent and overall poor. Pillows also could use improvement; however, the blankets were in abundance. Additionally, one team member was sneezing a lot as he was handling my food and money. He shared very casually that he had a flu, which doesn’t strike me as a safe practice when working with guests and handling their food.
Charlotte (6/5): Rustic lodge - The staff were lovely and the restaurant food was great and at a good price. It was nice and quiet with lovely Mountain View’s as you walk around the property. The showers were warm and the room spacious (we had an en suite) As a well travelled couple, we appreciated the intentions of it being an eco lodge, however in practice we found it was more rustic than we were expecting.
Andreja (9/5): Staff are super friendly - The place is a bit outside the city center – around a 20-minute walk – so if you’re looking to stay right in the middle of the action, keep that in mind. My bungalow was mostly in the shade and quite uphill, so I’d recommend asking for one lower down for a nicer experience. The staff are super friendly, and the food at the restaurant is absolutely excellent.
Rebekah (10/5): Beautiful paradise in San Juan La Laguna - I love the location! It's lush and green and overlooks the San Juan Mirador and mountains. Best of all it's quiet! The design and position of the cabins are great for privacy but also a bit of community building. Absolutely stunning restaurant with delicious and fresh food. Staff are incredible people full of information, warmth and passion. They are patient and kind. This place is absolutely perfect and possibly underrated. One of the best places I've ever stayed in my 20 years of solo travel. The photos do not do this place justice. It's pure unfiltered magic. Do yourself a favor and book the Temazcal (traditional sauna). You won't regret it. If you get lost, ask a local somewhat close by where Eco Hotel Mayachik is they will know right away. The lack of signage leading to the property is probably a good thing! Keeps it a little hidden. The dogs are friendly and only seem to bark at moving vehicles. One last thing....check for the spiky caterpillars before you climb into bed. One snuck under my pillow. It's hard to come up with any complaints about this place.
Melissa (9/5): Superb -
Cathy (9/5): Memorable stay at MayAchik - The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable. Pretty grounds with flowers and vegetation. Communal kitchen and restaurant were nice to have since it was about a 15 min walk to town. Great smoothies and healthy drinks. Nice to have Tuk-Tuks available to get us to the property for 10Q per person. Good value for the price. It was a little ways from the center of San Juan. There were pros and cons with this. Quieter regarding people but noisy from chickens and dogs at night. Nothing the property can do about this.

Stephanie (10/5): I loved it and felt right at home and appreciating the sustainable practices at the property. - Beautiful land, very relaxing environment with lots of greenery, hammocks and palapa tables to work or enjoy a meal. The vegetarian restaurant is superb and I ate most of my meals there in my 10 day stay. Yum!
Alexander (9/5): Enjoy the stay - Lovely place to stay. A little bit out of town which was great. Lush and peaceful setting. Reliable WiFi and places to work. I worked a full time digital nomad job here for a week without much issue. Keep your devices charged though, and maybe get a local SIM, power outages around Atitlan are common enough. Beds and accommodation were good. Kind of open as there are no curtains on the beds but generally the other travellers were great and it wasn't an issue. Owner and employees/volunteers were super nice. Food in the restaurant yummy and reasonably priced. Sone dogs on the way to the hostel were a bit agro. I walked by them multiple times daily on a week long stay and they did stress me out a little tbh. The scary one is usually on a roof so, I guess you're pretty safe. Nothing to do with the hostel mind you. At the hostel, the yoga/workout area could use some attention, dusty floor and the exercise equipment not usable.
Sarah (10/5): A great stay in a special place - Beds were comfortable, shower was wonderful, the room was very spacious. The food was fabulous, and the staff were great. There was a mix-up with our room when we arrived, but the owner resolved it very professionally. We were in a room where the toilet was really just a pit toilet and it smelled bad. The other thing was that whenever the sauna was on our room filled up with smoke.
Nikolas (8/5): Very good -
