    It is very cheap, so some other things are not so important. The location is good, on the way to Tikal, not a lot of things to do, the lake is only good spot here. People are great and service is good.

    Johana the owner was just the best!! She speaks very good English and was so helpful with giving us tips where to eat and helping us with booking our shuttles. Most helpful person in hospitality we met during our stay in Guatemala. The rooms are very basic but you get a bed and a shower and that’s all you need while also staying very much in low budget.

    The bathroom walls were peeling and dirty, but that's to be expected in the wet climate.

    Great location, hot shower, very helpful host, big equipped kitchen, bug nets on every bed and window. When there was a power outage in the town, the hosts very ready and gave us lanterns and candles.

    Nothing, everything was great! If you don't like animals, there are some very friendly dogs and cats who love some attention.

    Everything was great!! The rooms are really spacious and the beds (with mosquito nets) are very comfortable. The outside kitchen area is very well equipped with all the basics including salt, pepper and oil. The location is set back from the main road and is 1 minute walk to the collectivo stop to Tikal (30Q there and 25Q back). It's also very close to several street food options, restaurants and the public swimming dock.

    The hostel was central and beautifully in midst of the nature. The price was relatively cheap and all around you had bars, restaurants, pharmacies and shops with a lot of choice.... To the lake it were 50 metres by foot and the water was chilly and clean. The hostals owner cared for her guest and all in all, I was very satisfied!!... Thank you, muchas gracias para todo! The internet worked also quite well!

    We didn't use the kitchen but the way it looked, this would not be a dream cooking. A lot of stuff was standing around. You should be aware that it is near the jungle so there can always be some insects in the room that you don't expect 😉

    In early hours as well as late at night a very helpfull and kind staff / family !!! There was good WiFi connection everywhere and nice mosquito nets over all beds! Also two fans gave a needed cooling. The location is perfect, as all shuttles pass by, there are a lot of restaurants, a small supermarket and the atm.

    The wifi was weak away from the office. The electricity in 2 rooms failed midday but the dueña got someone to fix it after a couple hours. Minor inconvenience only.

    It was inexpensive but included hot water, mosquito nets and a pleasant porch with lots of green vegetation. Very clean. Near to Tikal and other Mayan sites. Quiet in the evenings. 5 minute walk to swimming pier on Lake Peten Itza. The dueña helped me with transportation bookings.

    All perfect, bring moskito spray since in the woods there are always more moskito than in the city which is normal

    Clean room with private toilet and towels provided. The location is great if you want to visit Tikal since it is closer than Flores. The host is lovely, she arranged the transportation to Tikal for us. She also offers laundry service. The veranda with plants is peaceful. There is a common kitchen to use and she provided us with coffee. There is coffee machine and stove.

    The rooms are a bit older and for television watchers, there is none. A light switch near the bed would be handy when being under your net. But those are small issues.

    Very friendly family. They helped me with laundry service, transport information and a personal drop off to the bus stop. Clean rooms with muskito nets.
