“Great stay overall would stay again”
Beautiful property in a good location Booked our shuttle from Flores through them and received a free shuttle from the busy station to the hostel Friendly staff Booked semuc chamber tour with them and had Otto as a guide which was great! And had a very small group which meant we could go as fast or slow as we wanted. Private rooms were spacious and toilets were close. Hot showers were lovely and the food in the restaurant was reallly tasty Hostel was quiet in evenings which was nice as we heard other son area were loud all night

“A great stay with pure relaxation in mind”
This place is great. The staff are friendly and accommodating when requiring assistance. The food is fresh and tasty, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The Wifi can only be obtained from the restaurant bar area. This area is a fabulous and functional communal area. There is a pool table, a table tennis table and games available as well. You can swim in either the pool or the wonderful river. If you want to have some fun try the tubing down the river rapids; great fun. There are plenty of hammocks in the garden area if you just want to read a book.

Such a cool accommodation. We wanted to stay longer. Food was good, the day tour to Semuc was one of my favourite day tours I’ve done. Loved swimming in the river and pool at the accommodation.

“Chill place by the river”
Stayed her for four nights at the dorm. Spacious rooms, with good beds and lockers (bring your own padlock) underneath. Lanquin is hot, and the dorm had only fans. Good and clean bathrooms, apparently only some with hot water, which most of the time is not needed. There is a pool to relax and also you can have a swim in the river to cool you down. Vary friendly and helpful staff, I booked my Semuc Champey tour, they also do shuttle which picks you up at hostel rather than having to go all the way to bus station on the outskirts of town. Pickups on arrival were nice. Restaurant had good food and happy hours for most of the evening. I enjoyed my stay here

“Great value-for-money option in Lanquin”
-Lots of space in the 4-bed girls dorm so we all had enough space. We also had a terrace with chairs and hammocks, and an amazing sunset view from our dorm - Nice restaurant, it could be improved but it’s good enough for a few days - Beautiful and quiet location. The restaurant plays music, but it’s not that loud, it doesn’t give backpacker party hostel vibes -Good WiFi at the restaurant -If you don’t want to pay for a tour to Semuc Champey, you can still arrange transportation to Semuc with them (though they don’t advertise this service) -The shuttle service they sell starts at the hotel, so you get to choose your preferred seat before everyone else. Shuttle was on time

“Paradise in the jungle”
Nice hostel in the jungle with a very good restaurant and bar! Food was very good, we loved the happy hour as well. Exactly on the bank of the river, you can swim, or using the pool. We had an own room with bathroom, it was comfortable. Bed was okay, wifi worked well near the restaurant area. We also paid for the tubing in the hostel, it was an amazing experience, thanks for our nice guide! We loved this program. It is close to town, so you can walk if you want.

“Best location!”
Probably the best hotel location in Lanquin. It’s right by the river and the outside areas are so beautiful! Rooms are simple but for the price is very good.

“Access to Semuc Champey, good food, nice staff, can’t beat it!”
Great spot, close to Semuc Champey and set on a beautiful part of the river. They have since added a pool, which isn’t reflected in their booking.com photos which was unreal. Food is great, staff were lovely. We stayed in a private room with our own bathroom and the shower was huge. Definitely recommend for couples!
