Really lovely host family. They cook amazing local foods and arrange all the boat rides you need.

“Great place for a couple of days relaxation”

Very friendly staff, good home cooked meals, good portion size, terrace area of Bungalow, canoe rental

Thank you Casa Maya for a magical stay! From Marta’s delicious home cooking to the comfortable and clean bungalows, everything was perfect during our stay. We had a wonderful time in this welcoming family homestay set in a unique location right on the river. We can’t wait to come back and see everyone again!

“Relax in a Guatemalteco and jungle atmosphere”

Family owned, and one of the rare ones owned by a Mayan family! Dont expect everything is perfect, but you got all what you need to sleep, eat, drink, relax and they have kayaks to discover around.

“Nice location at the Rio Dulce. Hotel owned by local family and you feel like a part of this family.”

Super friendly and helpful owners. Nice and quiet place to stay. Nothing too fancy but perfect for experiencing the Rio Dulce area!

“Beautiful place and lovely family. Made me feel at home.”

We loved the jungle setting and the welcoming host family. The breakfasts and evening meals were delicious. I explored the area by kayak. The family rents out kayaks at a cheap rate.

“Very simple but comfortable, clean and very friendly hosts”

comfortable, clean and very friendly hosts

Beautiful location, food was excellent and the family was lovely. We loved taking out the kayaks (easy to get to hot springs, waterfalls are a longer day!).

“A true paradise”

This is truly a little slice of paradise. It's tiny, only a few cabins and when we were there we were the only guests for most of the time. The property and cabins are clean and well maintained. They offer a la carte dinners and activities at very good prices. Marta and family are truly delightful to be around and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I really hope we get the chance to come back and visit again.

“Fantastic! I will miss Marta and Camila.”

The family that runs the hotel is absolutely exceptional. Extremely kind and they treat you like you’re a part of the family. I was really lucky to not have many other people during my stay. The tables in the rooms is a winner for me, not many places have that and I really needed it. The WiFi is really good and I could work with no issues. You’ll need to lay everywhere with cash. The shower in the dorms is interesting, let’s say you’ll have a view right at the nature :) the water in the shower is really refreshing which is actually really good excuse it’s really hot there during the day. the forest area could use some cleaning or more organized wilderness but still awesome place. I was really surprised that there were almost no mosquitos. When you’re there definitely tent the kayak! And omg Marta’s food is freaking amazing!!! Definitely order topas (pricey but delicious!!!)

very nice local guesthouse in an amazing location with a superb view of the river. Nice local food. If you want to experience a local stay, Casa Maya is a good place!

The building was really new and cute. There were Moskito nets at the beds. There were some hammocks and chairs. (But not directly next/above the water)

The family is super friendly and warm-hearted :) Nice famili owned hostal within an amazing landscape

“A wonderful, peaceful family-run business tucked along the Rio Dulce. An amazing place to stop!”

Casa Maya is exactly what I was looking for in a quiet place to stay along the Rio Dulce. The family-run business is a great spot of peace and tranquility, nestled within the rainforest. Large comfortable rooms and beds, great food provided in the dining area, and strong wifi. I loved the feel of the place, being hand-made with care. LOVED The seashell taps in the shared bathroom area! So cool!

Very lovely location, cute little house, calm and comfortable.

“Great place to stay.”

Clean and comfortable. Run by a friendly helpful family. Sociable and good food.

“Beautiful spot to stay and adventure from”

Such a wonderful experience, it is family owned and they are so kind and helpful! My friend and I stayed for 2 nights, our room was at the very back in a big sized building with 4 or 5 seperate rooms. It was so nice to wake up and go to sleep listening to the sounds of the jungle. You arrive by boat so keep in mind you are not close to town but, there is a restaurant at Casa Maya and the food is amazing, well priced and good portions! You can rent kayaks there for a really great price and the reason we choose to stay here is there are so many things to see and explore in the area. You have to kayak or boat but its such a convenient spot to see all there is to see and if you tell the owner what you are planning they will set it up for you/ get proper tour guide/ tell you how to get there and how far things are. The lancha to and from Maya Casa is a bit pricey but that's just how it is, its the only means of transportation to and from Rio Dulce - Livingston and your gonna pay that anywhere you decide to stay in between those two places. It is worth paying especially if you are staying for 2 or more nights, just buy all you need before you leave town. There is a small convenience store 5 min kayak from Maya Casa and other restaurants too. I was more than happy to stay here and support a family business :) very reasonably priced too!

Casa Maya is wonderful. the family are very kind and hospitable. rooms were comfortable and clean, meals were delicious, and it was nice to enjoy dinner and breakfast with the other guests. Highly recommend! Muchas gracias Martha y tu familia!

Lovely place run by a lovely family. Great spot to get out and kayak down the river.
