“It is good enough if you are not planning on hanging out there at all.”

Super basic, we rented a private room for the family, the beds were fine but the room had no windows. The kitchen is basic, small, but enough for cooking simple meals. The room has AC but the rest of the building is hot. It has a nice hanging out space outside. It’s a good location lose to your agencies and a great restaurant Guaba Limb. We did long tours every day so it was ok to get back to the hostel just for sleeping.

During my trip, I stayed at the Kawaq hostel in San Ignacio and had a wonderful time. The location is ideal, and everything was perfect. Javier, who works at the hostel, is fantastic! He gave us invaluable advice! He is incredibly helpful, professional, and attentive. You can completely trust him for advice or any other kind of assistance! It was the best accommodation we could have hoped for. Thank you so much, Javier, for your kindness!

Javier and Amy were an absolute delight, so friendly and helpful. The place was quiet, spotless, and in a perfect location close to town.

“Affordable stay, but lacks comfort”

Affordable. Central location. The owner was kind and hardworking.

“Ok place”

Bed was comfy, good location a d the Staff was really kind. The room was clean

Good location - 5 mns walk from the city center - the staff is amazing and very helpful

1. Affordable price. 2. Spacious public area. 3. Many shops and travel agencies along the street. 4. Plenty of space under the bed for luggage. 5. I'm very grateful they let me in to put my luggage first. 6. There is a place to dry clothes.

“A pleasant 3 nights”

Comfy beds, sockets and large locker for rucksack. Javier was very friendly and welcoming if not abit rushed off his feet.

“Great stay”

nice location. Quiet neighborhood. Clean room. Friendly staff

Great location in the middle of the town. Lockers in the room. And supreme customer service from Blanca and owner of the hostel. They were so helpful and really made me happy to recommend this place to other.

“Don’ti like”

The price is good, position good

“Great place with a great host Blanca”

Blanca is an amazing host!

Super friendly and helpful staff

“They were responsive to messages for the organization of the stay, but the tours are too expensive.”

The hostel is located in the main tourist street, but anyway San Ignacio is very small (and is also the only safe, at least during the day, place in Belize mainland). The hostel is fairly clean. There is no kitchen, just a fridge. Beds have big lockers underneath and all have privacy curtains. The hotelier was responsive to the messages on booking.com app prior to my arrival, which is very important for the organization of the stay: there is nothing to see in San Ignacio itself, you have to use this town as a base to explore the temples in the area, some of which can be visited also on you own, while for some others you need a tour (the hostel provides several of them, which have to be booked ahead). Bear in mind that no tours go to El Pilar as it is just way too risky for attacks, while the situation has improved for Caracol, for which no more armed car escorts tourist vans along the road like it was until the near past (of course the temple is still full of soldiers and the road is patrolled). Xunantunich can be reached by public bus (2,50$ each way) and you can go to Cahal Pech just on foot. I really discourage you from choosing the Tikal tour as it is much better to do it from Guatemala: you will spend much less money and you will spend much more time at the venue, which is really huge so you definitely need to stay there longer. The hostel sells also a tourist minibus to Flores, but you may use also the public transport (which is much cheaper, just know that in Guatemala you must take the public bus, which is right beyond the bridge after you exit the border control, and NEVER EVER take a taxi (it is paramount for your safety).

“Brilliant staff and location”

Clean and had everything required. Near to good food was a bonus. Best thing was the staff and Javier is a genius and just great human being and nothing was too much trouble for him.

Good location. Lots places to eat. Great jerk chicken BBQ on the same road. Central, close to drop off. Living room type area. Good space for your stuff

“Excellent value. Friendly staff”

Nice chilled environment, dorm rooms were clean. Close to main street & easy to explore the surrounding areas on foot.

Good facilities and location really spacious. just limited kitchen utensils and gates are closed up early. Lockers under bed are huge. Good place to stop for a couple nights and staff are lovely + super helpful. Very chilled place.

“Staff were the best bit!”

The staff were incredibly friendly here, and the outdoor space was relaxing. Beds with curtains are a huge bonus and the WiFi was reliable. Great location for San Ignacio too, and I recommend the laundry service. (Though slightly more expensive than we’ve paid elsewhere.)

Location was perfect. A little kitchen to cook stuff, friendly personell but only 1 person working there at a time.
