Guest Reviews

• Sunshine (10/5): - In the city centre close to all amenities. Spacious room with air condition and private bathroom. Big TV Kitchen could have an extractor of smoke.
• Jeannette (8/5): - im Zentrum, in der Nähe Marktes, gut ausgestattete Küche
• Colja (8/5): - Klimaanlage vorhanden, Tourenanbieter direkt vor der Tür Gastgeber selbst schien wenig vernetzt, verwies nur auf andere Touranbieter
• Sunnywin2 (6/5): - Great location, good kitchen, AC works well, TV had lots of decent channels available. Host was friendly and helpful. There were some small cockroaches in the bathroom but most importantly the bed and pillows were so uncomfortable that I found it very difficult to sleep.
• paula (9/5): - Ótima guesthouse Boa localização , 5 mn das van que vem de flores Tudo muito limpo Cozinha com tudo que precisamos Água fresca num dispensador Frigorífico para se colocar alimentos Simpatia do proprietário Recomendo
• Anna (10/5): Lovely. - Very clean and perfect for walking in the Market. We love staying there and try to use him when he has availability. There was a bug in the bathroom which I have never seen any other time on the premises. Likely came from the drain.
• Norman (9/5): Good affordable accommodation - A great place to stay for and quite a reasonable price at Belize prices. It had a good kitchen and social area, the room was large and comfortable and the shower was good. It was in a great location and very close to the busses. Everything was OK.
• Isara (10/5): - Vriendelijk personeel, ruime kamer. Fijne keuken waar je van gebruik kan maken. Goede warme douche. Locatie is top. Er zitten beesten in de kamer, maar misschien hoort dat bij de tropen.
• claudie (8/5): - La cuisine bien équipée. L'emplacement. L'entrée un peu spéciale. Le balcon pourrait être mieux aménagé.
• Neyder (10/5): Superb - The location was perfect, close to everything. The owner was very nice and friendly!

• Linda (7/5): - th room had everything you need, but it could be more comfortable, pretty basic, but great location! huge kitchen and living room, but not many people there
• Melissa (10/5): Perfect for what we needed. - Location, AC was good in actual bedroom, shower and bathroom was good.

• Clare (10/5): Great location and clean, comfortable rooms - Great location near the town centre but also close to some nice restaurants and cafes on the edge of town. Was nicer inside than we expected from the pictures - super clean and we were very grateful for the aircon after a few days in places without it. Nothing! Worth noting it’s cash only but there’s a no fee atm at the Atlantic bank down the road
• Elisabeth (9/5): - Wie zuhause. Tolle Küche! Hugo ist sehr hilfsbereit.. 0
• lise (9/5): - Bien situé. Une cuisine est à disposition. Le propriaitaire est tres sympathique et présent si besoin
• Jean-Luc (9/5): - L'emplacement, central et bien indiqué. La cuisine commune, bien équipée. La taille de la chambre.
• Dirk (8/5): - Die Lage mitten im Geschehen
• Gary (7/5): -
• Elsa (10/5): We very much enjoyed our stay and the comraderie with fellow travellers and Hugo, the manager. - The location is central to most amenities, and within walking distance of one of the Maya ruins (Cahal Pech). Hugo, the manager is friendly and very helpful with suggestions. The kitchen is large and well ventilated, with necessary appliances, dishes, pots, etc. Noise travels. When guests use the kitchen early morning and talking loud, it can be difficult to sleep. For the most part, it was not frequent.
• lostraveller (8/5): -
• MsNogOOd (9/5): A great stay! - The hospitality of the host, Hugo. He also provided useful information about border crossing to Guatemala and helped with luggage up/down the stairs. The room is spacious and clean, there is cable TV with lots of channels and air conditioning is strong. The stairway to go up to the rooms and the hard bed.
• Lily (8/5): Convenient for a short stay - The manager was very helpful and responsive upon our early check in and later extension requests. He also provided tips about getting a taxi so we would not be charged unreasonably. We were happy about the very convenient location and the AC worked great during our stay. There is no window or exhaust fan to vent the bathroom so the moisture and smell vented into the bedroom.
• Eva (4/5): -
• Martina (5/5): -
• Vrenscha (10/5): Best option for families in San ignacio - Hugo was extraordinary kind and helpful. Very family friendly. Fully equipped kitchen and drinking water available. Very centrally located and still a parking lot in front of the door available. For 10 Belize Dollar Hugo did our laundry within only a few hours. Extremely good value for money. Regarding the price, I rate this 10, even though it's no luxurous hotel.
• Fernando (8/5): Great Location - Locations is great, good price for the value, clean rooms, AC and WiFi. There is a living room and kitchen you can use. Simple facilities, nothing bad to mention.
• Neil (9/5): Cheap, clean, accomodation in the heart of San Ignacio - Excellent location, decent wifi. Clean. Host was helpful and carried my case up the narrow steps. Cold water dispenser and full feature kitchen handy for those who wanted to cook. At £28 a night, excellent value Sink could have done with a plug in it and a couple of bulbs weren't working, but nothing that made me complain about them. I'm sure they'd have been fixed if I'd asked
• Christine (10/5): Very well equipped and maintained budget guesthouse in a good location and attentive host. - For a budget accommodation, this place has everything one could wish for.
• Sofia (10/5): Best choice for your stay in San Ignacio! - First of all very polite and helpfull stuff!! Good location and quiet place Very nice and clean bathroom! All were OK!
• Richey (7/5): Good place to stay for the price. - Great location for downtown. Some very nice restaurants within walking distance. Good place to stay for the cost. Room small and cramped. Layout was really only conducive to sleeping. Difficult to find as no clearly visible sign.
• Maddy (10/5): Exceptional - great location, clean facilities, host and house keeper were very kind and helpful!
• Lillian (8/5): Loved San Ignacio and the guesthouse was a perfect spot to start from. - It was a great location to see San Ignacio from. It's close to everything but still far enough from the busy areas to be quiet. The manager was very helpful. The rooms next to the kitchen can be very loud in the morning when people are making breakfast so you won't be able to sleep in.
• Olivia (7/5): Pretty good for a budget option - Great location Free water which was quite cold Great shower Safe in the room Hugo the manager was very pleasant to deal with Bed was very loud and creaky every time you turned over Furniture and bedding a little dated (but was clean!) Noise travelled so you could heard a fair bit from outside the room
• Clémence (7/5): Good -
• Amber (9/5): 3-night stay in room 5 - Came in on the shuttle from Belize City and the property was a 5 minute walk from Hodes Place. Very close to the ‘tourist’ area of Burns Ave., restaurants , and food stores. Pictures of the guest house are accurate, water is provided, and there is ample kitchen space for cooking meals. The manager Hugo was very helpful upon my late arrival. My only issue was the bed. It is VERY firm, so if you have any back issues do not book this particular room. Other than that, I would stay again.
• Joy (10/5): - We brought our 3 teenage sons here and it was perfect! Clean and in the center of town. We did lots of tours in every direction and it felt like a central location for all of that, too.
• Libbytes (9/5): Has everything you need with great host - Hugo the manager is lovely thank you for having us! The room has everything you need, places for bags, hanging storage, working AC, nice fan too, great bathroom with hot water and hanging places. A huge functional shared kitchen, which is great and has everything!. Location is walking distance to everything in San Ignacio and perfect. I could feel the springs in the bed and it was slightly uncomfortable, but that was all, it wasn't too bad and we'd happily stay here again for sure.
• WILLIAM (10/5): - We stayed here and did two of the Maya Walk tours. It’s very close to the pickuo point. It’s an Inexpensive, unassuming, tidy and comfortable place. Hugo was present all the time to answer questions or open a door for me. The rooms are air conditioned but not the common areas. The shared kitchen was basic but had everything I needed including a coffee maker, stove and fridge. The price is right. Don’t hesitate.
• Jody (10/5): Absolutely exceeded expectations - Perfect location, right on Burns Ave. Belize is a developing country so I wasn't expecting much, and I had stayed in a *different* guest house during a previous trip to San Ignacio that had a shared kitchen where the stove & refrigerator were so disgusting that I wouldn't leave my trash there but the Don Santiago's kitchen was IMMACULATE, as was the rest of the guest house. The manager Hugo was helpful and even had my room ready before check-in time. Anyone giving a negative review for this guest house needs to adjust their expectations: Belize is a developing country and the Don Santiago is BY FAR the cleanest guest house with the most amenities so far that I have stayed in while traveling in Belize. I will stay here again the next time I travel to Belize. Nothing
• James (8/5): Great deal for a few days in San Ignacio and not being in hotel much. - Walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops, market. Inexpensive. Parking available out front Clean, pleasant staff, laid back. Street noise til about 11 (mostly cars motorcycles) but it is in the downtown area.
• Maria (9/5): Perfect value for money and great location - We had a lovely night here, the room was quiet and beds very comfy. There was AC and fans keeping the room at the right temperature and it was clean and smelled really good. It is what you see, a simple place but it had everything to spend the night. Location was the best, same street where cafeterias/restaurants are and our agency Maya Walks to do ATM caves tour. The owner is a lovely man that helped us with all our requests. Don't be put off by the odd entrance!
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Rick (7/5): Above average accomodating - Location. Manager, cleaner and maintenance guy were exceptional. If you are placed in rooms 1,2,or3, you have to endure the ruckus of other families/groups make themselves at home in the kitchen (right outside your room door) to prepare and have a meal.
• Anna (9/5): Superb - Very central location. Very good functional kitchen, although desperately needed a deep clean. Lovely staff, very helpful and let us leave our bags after checkout. Would recommend Kitchen could do with a clean,
• Ogaldez (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (10/5): A excellent and affordable option for San Ignacio in Belize. Great staff, great rooms & great price! - Don Santiago is an excellent place to rest and recharge in San Ignacio. The beds were comfortable, the common areas were well stocked, and the staff (particularly Hugo) were top notch! I really enjoyed my time there and it's location, just a couple of blocks from the main square area can't be beat. No complaints.
• Matthew (9/5): Easy check in, clean room and bathroom, great location and has a kitchen. Good value, would stay again. - 2 minute walk from the shuttle terminal arriving from Guatemala. Friendly staff. Kitchen facilities were fine. Provided drinking water. Bedroom and bathroom were clean. My room had air conditioning. Near bus station (to Belize city), an outdoor bustling (weekend?) market. And close to a street with restaurants and bars. Over all, solid value. For me, Google maps had the guesthouse on a parallel street. But it’s actually closer to the bus/shuttle terminal than google says.
• Linda (9/5): A home in San Ignacio - The manager was very kind & helpful. The needs of the guests were of primary importance. I felt very safe & comfortable there. There were a few ants near the bath sink, but they went away w my bug spray.
• George (9/5): Superb - The guy who checked us in was really friendly, our room was spacious and it was a bonus there was a kitchen we could cook in. Nothing.
• Emma (8/5): Budget Room with air con, TV, wifi - Clean kitchen but I could not find a can opener Room RV controls had old batteries. Outside WESTERN Guesthouse Still painted on building
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Location, wifi, comfortable bed, air conditioning, shared kitchen, staff Nothing really
• Morgan-wortham (10/5): Perfect location, spacious and comfortable stay with kind people for a great price. - The facilites were great! The kitchen and living space, and terrace, were very spacious and well stocked/looked after. The room was large and comfortable, with good A/C and a fan. The water pressure and temperature in the shower was really good. The location is perfect, so close to everything you need, but still very peaceful and quiet. The owner and his family were very lovely and helped us out with some things we needed assistance with :) they also allowed us to leave our bags in the communal space on our check out day which was really helpful. We would definitely come back! We loved it. The only drawback is the wifi is not super fast. It’s fine for a small amount of normal use, but you wouldn’t be able to use it for working I don’t think.
• Luis (7/5): Good -
• Wenjun (10/5): Exceptional -
• Krissy (7/5): Good location and budget option with kitchen. - Rooms were basic but clean. Great to have a kitchen and lounge area to use. Great central location. Lumpy pillows and cheap synthetic sheets.
• Kathy (8/5): It was just what I needed for a rest after Caye Caulker Island and before my flight. I stayed two nights but could have - Perfect location, two minute walk to all shops and restaurants and the cute market. Also very quiet.
• Kunayaq (6/5): - Location for me personally
• Andreani (10/5): Great stay - Nice guesthouse near the centre in San Ignacio. Room was comfortable and clean. There is a big communal kitchen which is great.
• Brad (8/5): I would return in a new york minute. - I booked the wrong night but they had no problem changing it when I showed up unannounced. He allowed us to leave our gear there the day we left until our bus arrived midafternoon. It was fine, nothing to change.
• Philip (9/5): Superb - Location great. Downtown Allcwas great
• Travis (8/5): Very good - Very nice stay. Friendly staff and central location. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom had ample hot water.

• Pavel (9/5): Economy and a good feel stay in San Ignacio - early check was a huge benefit and very appreciated central location , friendly staff nothing bad

• Attila (10/5): Exceptional - comfortable, clean, good location, kitchen
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elin (9/5): Superb - I can 100% recommend this place! The location couldn't be any better, it's on the same street as the pedestrian tourist street, but 150m away from all the buzz. The kitchen is big and clean. The room was also very nice.
• Thomas (7/5): Good -
• Xiaoyun (8/5): Very good - Location is good ， walk to everywhere.
• Hope (9/5): Great location and great host! - This place is right in downtown and walkable to restaurants, bars and activities (like Cahal Pech Mayan Ruins) and directly opposite a shuttle transfer company we used. The host Hugo was very welcoming and easy going! Great value for money for the rooms and the shared kitchen is well equipped. Good aircon in the rooms and a hot and powerful shower. It’s also very close to the market which was very lively on a Saturday with amazing and cheap local food.
• Marly (9/5): To tell the truth was the best stay in Belize concerning price and service - The owner is very friendly, helpful. The atmosphere is like at home
• Attila (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable, clean , good location.
• Barbara (9/5): Great option in the heart of San Ignacio! - The rooms were very comfortable and having access to a full kitchen was great. We enjoyed the free coffee and access to a water cooler to refill our water bottles. Hugo was very friendly and welcoming! We appreciated the late checkout. Extra towels or hand towels would be nice.
• Natasha (8/5): Very good - Fantastic location; opportunity to meet other travelers while still having privacy. Great balcony to hang out on.
• Cloé (9/5): Perfect value - Better than the photos ! Hot shower Good location Great kitchen Big room AC Can’t complain
