Guest Reviews
- Ode Subilo (8/5): -
- Martinez (9/5): - La comunicación con los anfitriónes, y la naturaleza La preferencia hacia los extranjeros y la falta de atención a los nacionales
- Shani (10/5): -
- Adèle (9/5): Exceptionnel - Excellente expérience, la cabane privative était très agréable avec le nécessaire, les parties communes sont particulièrement agréables et le personnel extrêmement gentil !
- Asijau (10/5): - Everything. Probably the best place I've stayed in in Guatemala. Totally recommended. The kayak, the chilling, the cave, the owners...
- Lothar (9/5): Sehr Naturnah, gute Küche - Lage am Seitenarm des Rio Dulce, grün, im Wald, Wildtiere, freundliches Personal, lecker Gemeinschaftsessen am Abend, kostenloses Wasser, Tourenangebote, Kajakverleih, … Wifi nur im Restaurant, warme Dusche nicht im Bungalow
- Niamh (8/5): Really nice place but I have a few suggestions for improvements - The dorm room was really comfortable, I ended up with a double bed to myself with a mosquito net. Everything was as clean as it could be in the middle of the jungle. Family dinner was nice to socialise. Enjoyed the hammocks and kayaks. Family dinner could’ve been included in the price since you don’t really have any other option, also dietary requirements weren’t really thought about, you have to really ask and press them to be catered for. The volunteer that worked there didn’t seem to care much and gave us some wrong information about how long the kayaking would take realistically.
- Beatriz (10/5): - El lugar hermoso y la anfitriona un amor es una belleza todo No me dio tiempo conocer todo
- Beatriz (10/5): Expectacular , el paraiso - El lugar hermoso , cerca nace el río Tatin puedes ir en Kayak. Hermosa vista , Anfitriona Gaby muy xarismatica y atenta y todos los de mas , buenicims atención, alimentos a buen precio, deliciosa y muy abundante. Tengo que regresar con toda la familia. Que se termino rápido las vacaciones
- belén (8/5): - El entorno, completamente selvático Las mosquiteras son cortas y no protegen. En la habitación vimos una araña grande y un escorpión. No apto para personas con fobia a los insectos
- Yasmin (8/5): -
- Lior (8/5): -
- Insa (7/5): Entspannen und die Natur genießen! - Es ist direkt im Grünen am Fluss gelegen. Man hat die Möglichkeit auf saunieren und Sport zu treiben. Beim Abendessen waren es immer große Portionen. Wasserspender war vorhanden. Für meinen Geschmack, was das Bett zu weich.
- Adam (9/5): Would recommend, especially if you are solo travelling - Amazing place to be amongst nature. Close to the river to relax, multiple tours on offer along with a selection of boat shuttles to make it easy for onwards travel. Staff were friendly and the food was a good quality. The room was very damp but I guess that’s to be expected in the jungle. It rained one night and our roof leaked a bit.
- Caroline (7/5): -
- Samuel (9/5): Immersed in the Mangroves - Location is everything!!! Right in the heart of the mangroves. Truly a special experience. If you like being immersed in nature, this is for you! You can watch the crabs and birds while you eat. Take a short walk, and you will be rewarded with birds and insects. As a biologist, I absolutely loved this place! It was very nice just renting a kayak and going off into the mangroves. Or, if you don't want that much effort, just jump into the river. They have a dock too! There are educational programs just down the trail where you can learn about the nearby Mayan community. Or take a day trip into Livingston (I personally don't think you need more than a day there, it's a boring little town, but the food is BOMB). The dinners here were great, it came with soup and an entree and homemade bread. Always hearty and healthy! The food was good, I just wish it wasn't just American food. I'm not in Guatemala to have pizza and an American breakfast... Really? There was definitely more to be desired from the breakfast and lunch menu. I also didn't like some of the employees or volunteers. Making out on the table was just unprofessional. Get a room dammit! Very slow, lazy attitude here. My room went uncleaned for a few days during my stay. Just seems lazy to me.

- jansen (9/5): Top - Leuke familie dineren Top locatie! Super mooie plek, lekker avond eten! Vriendelijke mensen
- Maria (8/5): -
- Lilie (6/5): Faut savoir que c’est en pleine jungle oubliez les nuits calmes - Le personnel parle anglais. Le calme au ponton. Et des moustiquaires sans trou. La literie des chambres laisse à désirer et aucune insonorisation avec les voisins.
- ggeggge (10/5): autenticità e divertimento - un posto magico, tra quelli più apprezzati della vacanza, accogliente e allo stesso tempo autentico. i proprietari sono veramente molto gentili e ci sono tantissime attività, sarà indimenticabile la notte nella giungla
- CHarline (10/5): Top ambiance - Superbe emplacement Très chouette ambiance, tout le monde mange ensemble le soir. Personnel très à l’écoute ! Rien
- Christina Tremblay (10/5): Magnifique ! - Un de mes endroits préféré de tout le Guatemala! Les installations, les chambres, la nourriture, tout est parfait ! Accès à plusieurs activités, comme du kayak, trekking, visite de l'école autonome possible! Personnel sympathique! Je recommande vivement!
- Etienne (8/5): -
- Louise (10/5): Excellent - The quiet...in a jungle....great staff..great food...i would do it again...! They will arrange boats ...trios... nothing!
- Melles (6/5): - Location close to the river and in the jungle is great. Mixed feelings about the staff though. A very positive impression of Dennis, who took his time to explain everything and was very professional. Another staff member, Val, however was a different case entirely. Her puppy, half a rottweiler, who wandered around the hotel unattended during our stay, caused quite some mayhem. It chewed on my girlfriend's sandal and tore up her bikini. How it could do so, even walk around freely a day after biting another guest in the face is a mystery to me. Val's reaction was less than satisfying to put it mildly.
- Julien (10/5): -
- Dany-julia (10/5): - Incroyable l'accueil le lieu je me suis reposée la propreté le confort milles mercis
- Johanna (9/5): Erg leuke verblijfplaats! - We zaten nog op de boot en er stond al iemand te wachten op het ponton voor onze komst. We voelden ons direct welkom. Het verblijf was hier heel leuk! Ons huisje was proper onderhouden en lag vlak aan het water. De family dinners zijn ideaal om andere reizigers te ontmoeten. Je merkt dat alles hier goed is geregeld. Na het avondeten vragen ze naar je plannen voor de volgende dag waarna ze alles in orde stellen op een vlot verloop. Zo zijn wij een dagje gaan kanoën naar de mangroves en zijn we de volgende dag met de kano naar Livinston gevaren (aanrader!), terwijl onze bagage werd nagebracht door het Finca Tantin-personeel. Ons huisje lag vlakbij het restaurant, dus de muziek uit de keuken als de mensen die er ''blijven plakken'' zijn goed hoorbaar. Verder is het avondeten vrij basic. Voor ons mochten er nog meer groentjes aanwezig zijn.
- Penny (10/5): - An amazing hostel located up the Rio Finca which flows into the Rio Dulce. Having stayed at another lovely hostel close to the town of Rio Dulce, I would say this end of the river is more beautiful and unspoilt. You can take kayaks out and explore the little mangrove creeks near the hostel or venture as far afield as the Biotopo nature reserve. So many suggestions of fun and interesting things to do you could easily spend a week here!
- Andres Felipe (10/5): Eso lugar maravilloso. Muy cómodo me voy con la mejor experiencia. Hice la mejor elección. - La ubicación que te permite realizar muchas actividades y conocer el lugar, es muy cómodo y tranquilo con buena atención. Muy grata experiencia no dude en elegir este lugar superó mis expectativas al encontrar paz y tranquilidad. Tener que irme
- Ralf (8/5): - Am Ufer des Rio Tatin gelegen, ist die Lage natürlich super. Das Team ist wirklich klasse und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkünfte sind natürlich sehr einfach, es fehlte zunächst so was wie ein Ventilator, was bei den Temperaturen wirklich notwendig ist, aber der wurde auf Nachfrage besorgt.
- Angela (9/5): Il paradiso - Singolare e immersa nel verde, offre tutti i servizi di cui c’è bisogno, c’è un’accoglienza speciale e non hai bisogno di nulla , solo di rilassarsi e organizzano a tuo piacere i vari tour spiegandoti tutto nei minimi dettagli. Non potrei scegliere posto migliore! Essendo selvaggia e immersa nel verde ci sono diversi insetti e ragnetti in giro.
- Claudia (8/5): Very good - The location and the atmosphere were amazing. I liked most of the things about this place.
- Harvey (9/5): Great place to get into nature and away from the crowds - Such a peaceful part of the river and we stayed at one of the waterfront bungalows. The family dinners were great, always tasty food and they catered to vegetarian too. We brought food with us for brekky and lunch. Great to be able to rent kayaks and explore. They contacted us saying the room we booked on Booking wasn’t available but still changed us to another waterfront room, so it all worked out. No communal kitchen so if you do bring food it has to be simple to prepare.
- Kate (8/5): Loved it! - Location is truly amazing. Absolutely loved it. Especially I had a cabin facing the river. I wish you could pay with card or there was more information on their website about the cost.
- Rebekka (7/5): Good -
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent ecolodge with lots of activities to do in the area. On-site restaurant is caters to any diet and family meals are available every evening so guests can socialize together. Splendid experience for me as a solo traveler. If you are the type to blowdry hair or require internet this is not the right place for you.
- Mel (9/5): Superb -
- Madelief (10/5): Exceptional - Finca Tatin is a beautiful place to stay! It feels like you’re in the middle of the jungle but you’re also right next to the river. They have family dinners every night which is a good time to meet new people and the staff are soooooo nice! The mattress wasn’t the greatest, but that’s all actually!
- Martina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giovanni (9/5): Magic - The place itself is magic. For sure it’s my fault but be aware that everything is paid in cash so sometimes it’s a bit problematic to have it at hand
- Bridget (8/5): Very good - Location is beautiful. We loved using the Mayan Sauna and swimming in the River. The food they cook on site is delicious home cooked food - dinner is fresh homemade bread, vegetable soup and a main dish. They were able to easily accommodate vegan diet. The dinners were a a highlight of the stay. Plenty of space to hang in a hammock, and read or play games at tables. It rained most of our stay and even without being able to kayak around we were able to enjoy our stay. The staff are all very helpful and assisted with booking tours, shuttles, etc. We got massages which I can’t recommend. They didn’t seem to have professional training and pressures was so light. There was also no place to change so it was a little awkward.
- Omer (10/5): Loved it! Very recommended. - Great location and atmosphere, the shared dinner was really nice.
- Leti (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marie (7/5): A unique experience - The communal area is nice and the shared meal in the evening is a nice touch. The personal welcome and goodbye is nice too. The prices for food and drinks is fair. We rented kayaks go to Livingston and got their boat back which was nice. Our kids had a great time staying there. The facilities work but could do with a bit more updating, it feels a bit tired in places. Not the hotel’s fault but it is tropical so it’s hot and humid, and smells a bit boggy so 2 nights was enough for us.
- Marian (10/5): Exceptional - Super frendly host. Very good located for activities like Kayaktours or hiking to a cave. Pretty bungalows at the waterfront with terrace and access to the water.
- Haim (9/5): Superb - The location
- Maria (8/5): Very good - Excellent location and great staff.
- Bliss (8/5): Very good -
- Eva (8/5): Beautiful hotel in the jungle next to the river - Very beautiful place in the jungle, just next to the river. Amazing place to swim in nature (birds and all) and calm and nice activities proposed (notably the visit of the biotopo). Very nice staff, and good dinner served for everyone at once, nice moment Our room was not very confortable (but to be expected in the jungle I guess) with curtains strangely all attached letting the light in everywhere. But we managed to sleep quite well as it was calm.
- Marc (9/5): Superb - Was all in all a very good and feel Like Home stay for us. Great food nice Drinks. We could easy spend more days there If we had the time. Defenitely would recommend staying here
- Rafael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Isabela (10/5): Exceptional - Such an amazing place. A great spot to just chill out for a few days. There’s literally a jungle all around and the river is beautiful and clean. The staff were fantastic, they really try to make this place feel like home for you. A fan in the room would be nice but no biggy.
- Raphael (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing Location! The staff is exceptionally friendly, competent and always helpful when it comes to organzing your activities. The owners are easy going and a lot of fun to talk to. Food is great, too!
- Cat74 (10/5): Loved it! - What a beautiful, magical place it is! Perfect for those who love nature, jungle sounds, peace and quiet. Great walks in the jungle, swims in the river and sunbathing by the dock. They also organize various tours if you can drag yourself away from your hammock:). My cabana was pretty and comfortable and the bed was the best one i had in guatemala so far. I stayed 3 nights and will defo come.back. I like it all - just pointing out that you are in the jungle where everything has to be transported by the river so be prepared that while the food is tasty and plentiful, the menu is not that varied and extensive and the restaurant is closed between 3:30-7pm. You may want to bring some snacks/sweets and favorite fruits.
- John (9/5): Superb - My favourite place to stay in guatemala! The eco lodge vibe was amazing The booking was for a private room but when I arrived -- it's in the middle of nowhere in the jungle -- I was told the booking was for a dorm. They eventually got me a private room for the same price but they said this had been a repeated problem with booking.com
- Veronique (9/5): Superb - Great place, nice personnel, special location on the river and in the jungle. Would definitely love to go back Cleanliness of the bathroom could be better.
- Alejandro (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jouda (7/5): Good -
- Hans-jakob (9/5): Superb -
- Maria (8/5): Amazing stay in the jungle. Beautiful people and nice chill - Beautiful location Eco-friendly Amazing staff Low water and toilet not working properly Short beds :D
- Ale (8/5): Very good - Beautiful location on the river, very nice staff, and good food. There’s also a nice gym, free for the guests! They can arrange awesome kayak tours, and the boat from/to Rio Dulce, and Livingsyon.
- Natalie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yael (10/5): Exceptional - If i have to select 1 place in Central America, this would be the one ! This property is magical. Placed in the jungle by the Rio Dulce is just perfect little paradise. The whole staff is great, perfect, nice , professional. It was a pleasure staying there. I sure will be back. For the digital nomads, if you need to do some loadings, you need to know that it will take you 3 to 5 times more time to work. But then again, you have the perfect environment and it's a great place to slow down.
- Annalisa (8/5): Very good - the place is right in the middle of the jungle! they offer their lancha to come and pick you up in Livingston and Rio dulce at specific times and the staff is very nice. The vibe of the place was not the best but I guess it was because we were the only guests and it almost felt abandoned. There is a fixed dinner which is not the cheapest but still ok.
- Idan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anders (8/5): Very good -
- Marianne (9/5): fun and relax time! - Amazing access to the river, nice lounging areas, games available, kayak option the very height tax, if you need wifi it is not great
- Mathilde (9/5): Superb -
- Mathilde (9/5): Beautiful relaxing and quiet hotel in a unique jungle river setting - great location, very relaxing, very quiet, my cabaña had lots of light, the hotel offers excursions for the day A reminder that the hotel is cash only would be great. The shower in my cabaña didn’t drain because of an architectural inclination defect: I suggest leaving a broom and mop in this bathroom permanently.
- Ida (7/5): Good - We liked the facilities. It was nice with a big common room and family-style dinner etc. It could be cleaner - and the room was really humid. The staff were really great but it also felt like they were very stressed all the time.
- Melina (9/5): Superb - The beds aren’t the most comfortable.
- Cook (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simmons (9/5): Superb -
- Sanaz (8/5): Very good - Cozy hotel with The Beach-feeling. We liked how easy it was to meet new people as well as the family dinners and the staff. The bungalow by the water was a great escape from the busy common areas. We were missing a mosquito net in our bungalow as well as a ladder from the dock in case we wanted to take a swim. It was also sometimes hard to sleep at night as music from the common area was loud and close to our housing.
- Greysi (2/5): - Me dijeron que jamás se había hecho la reservación. Al parecer fué un error de expedía. Fatal el servicio de expedía para hacer reservaciones
- luz (2/5): - Nada Me cancelaron
- Delbar (10/5): amazing place - it’s a beautiful place in the jungle. staff are very nice and they are helpful. specially Chris! he is a very cool guy. bathrooms could be better and could be more clean
- Andres (2/5): - Al llegar, que fue toda una odisea porque el sitio esta muy mal comunicado nos explicaron que habian sobrevendido todo, nos ofrecieron quedarnos en tiendas de campaña cuando habiamos reservado 3 habitaciones.
- Jonathan (3/5): Poor -
- Alex (10/5): amazing - the nature and the food
- Rickveer (9/5): Superb - Great place! Lots of hammocks and spaces to chill. You can do Kayak tours, they have a sauna and the food is good. Could be a little chaotic, but everything will be fine in the end
- Zelie (7/5): Good - very cool location in the jungle - you really can see wildlife, the accommodations are really simple, house a little bit shaky but okay for 2-3 nights, lovely food
- Myrtille (10/5): A great experience - I loved my stay there, amazing place in the middle of the jungle, great atmosphere! They take care of everything. The place has a restaurant and they offer a range of activities (kayak, waterfalls, beach…) Just be aware that you’re in the middle of nothing so not a lot of electricity and wifi, and you depend on them for everything: food, activities, transportation (which also has a cost)
- Maayan (8/5): very good - The location on the river and Antonio that was there for us for everything we needed. the dinner was a bit pricy for what you get.
- Anne-sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (3/5): Bad reviews are deleted. Stay somewhere else. - the location was cool the room, the food, and most of the staff & extra people - not guests, not staff just Always there and annoying.
- Simms (8/5): Very good -
- Mr M (6/5): - What a brilliant location, shame the 'honeymoon suite' didn't live up to expectations. Four beds in room, black mould in shower tray, yuck, generally poor condition. Don't get me wrong, eco fantastic but seen much better eco accommodation. Food was excellent, loved meeting people, kayaking, swimming etc and room did have an amazing balcony to watch river/jungle life. Stayed 2 nights & irritated could only pay by cash!!!! Lots young people struggling with this too! Policy hotel.com???
- Klaus (8/5): Very good - Great place in the jungle by the river. Did not accept card - do to connection problems. I don't remember seeing a warning in this regard - so YOU need to ad the ekstra cost! We did not have wifi-problems! You are on "full board" the time you are there, and the prices are higher than elsewhere. They sail frequently to Livingston with guests arriving/leaving, so they can handle the logistics fairly cheap - guest pay for transportation. So it is a little annoying. The dinner is "collective" - way to expensive for what you get. They do supply fresh bread - wich maybe thought of a supplement - but it is needed to fill you up!
- Philipp (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (3/5): I would not recommend this place. To anyone. - it was cool to get there by boat luís was kind and wonderful, relaxed and honest. Most of the place including the dining area, our accommodation, and hangout space smelled (strongly) of sewage. The ‘family dinners’ were not good and with no other option in area it was the only option. The staff was pushy and unpleasant, even borderline rude. There were many ‘extra’ people who didnt work there but weren’t guests either. Odd vibe. No hot water in rooms, instead they had one hot water shower located a good ways from our bungalow. So many spiders in our room and the bungalow was supposed to accommodate 6, instead it only had 3 beds. Our view was the bathroom. Smelled so bad there.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Un grand merci! - Endroit idéal pour une retraite paisible entre la jungle et la rivière avec une équipe cosmopolite disponible et adorable. Un grand merci pour l'accueil, pour les opportunités de découverte et pour ces moments conviviales. Petit clin d'oeil à l'équipe en cuisine qui nous a régalé !
- Caroline (8/5): Very good - we really enjoyed our time at finca tatin. the cabin we stayed in was clean, the shower worked fine and we even had a small patio with a hammock in front of it. the location of the finca is beautiful, all of the cabins are surrounded by the jungle and decks by the river are perfect to sunbathe for a while. lots of activities are offered by the hotel. overall the perfect place to wind down and relax for a few days. there aren‘t any alternatives to eating at the finca and there is no kitchen you could use. with that in mind, we found the food to be a bit overpriced for what you actually would get.
- Svenja (7/5): We enjoyed our stay. - Finca Tatin is located in a very beautiful area. The common spaces are all very well equipped and the personal is really friendly and helpful. We rented some Kayaks which was nice. The taste of the food was not outstanding. They have vegan options if you want but sometimes they’re not vegan. In general the rooms and everything was really wet and humid because of the climate.
- Sandra (8/5): Nice place - Beautiful setting. Cozy, big and comfortable communal area. Clean room. Big bathroom. Very good mosquito nets. Comfortable beds. Restaurant food was good, but not exceptional. No dinner menu, only whatever is cooked that evening (only choice was between vegetarian, vegan or meat). Dinner is taken with all the other guests at 7pm, which we didn't mind, but still, we prefer having the option when and with whom we want to dine. Shower basin could do with an upgrade. The communal area was literally surrounded by jungle which after a while felt a little claustrophobic. I'm glad we booked a bungalow with river view to have a bit more "space".
- John (8/5): Two nights is enough. - Meals were tasty and reasonably priced. Kitchen and hotel staff are great. Hike to the nearby school was rewarding. No generator electricity power the first night, so had no porch light and couldn’t charge cell phone. Circuit breaker was turned on the next day. Wi-Fi was spotty at best, at times nonexistent. Waterfall tour was anticlimactic since the “falls” are really just set of rapids, reached after a muddy hike. Skip that one. 10:00 AM shuttle back to Rio Dulce was delayed due to 10 minute late start, then another 10 minute delay picking up guests from another hotel, then further 15 minute delay due to slowly towing 4 kayaks and paddlers loading aboard them. This resulted in several passengers missing their buses.
