very beautiful house

Wonderful and very cozy hotel with genuinely friendly staff. Everything is clean, tastefully designed, and it really makes you feel at home. A true little gem for travelers!

A gem! This is a real Guatemalan city. The space feels like an old cabin. It is set back from the road, so it's quiet. Definitely check out the permaculture center nearby. Meet nice fellow travelers here.

“Great friendly hostel”

Andres and his partner and team are wonderful! The house is beautiful, well equipped kitchen, everyone very helpful and kind is like staying with family. Thanks I had a great time

“Basic accommodation, if you are looking for somewhere to sleep, but not as cosy as pictures seem”

The staff here are so so lovely and will back you feel at home and part of the family. I really enjoyed speaking with the volunteers and they did everything possible to make me comfortable and help me. The guesthouse is really homey and creates a very relaxing atmosphere.

“Cozy, clean space”

Nice space, good location. Staff were kind.

“Homey and Gorgeous”

Was so homey and such a nice atmosphere. Exquisite interior with cute fireplaces and beautiful location close by the lake. A must if visiting Lake Atitlan.

“Casa Qatsij Felt Like Home”

I had an unforgettable experience at Casa Qatsij. As a solo traveler, it truly felt like home during my stay. I ended up extending my visit three times because I just couldn’t get enough. A big thank you to the volunteers—Gina, Tori, and Mauri—along with Andres and all the other guests who made my time there so memorable. These are moments I will cherish forever.

“Wonderful place”

Great cozy comfy relaxed vibe at Casa Qatzij. Volunteers were brilliant, made us feel at home. Good facilities, comfy beds and nicely located in central San Lucas.

What a hidden gem. This place has wonderful staff! Is clean, quiet, beautiful and has relaxed family vibes. A kitchen to cook my own food, a market around the corner, a terrace for yoga, library full of inspirational books and a TV corner for movie nights. Thank you for this wonderful stay.

Good location, a save place for the car and very friendly people running the place.

“Casa Qatzij is the best”

Casa Qatzij is like home, the people are so amazing. A special thanks to Mauri for being an amazing host. We had meals together after going to the market to buy ingredients and in the evening mauri played music for us. Very clean, great location, spacious house, comfy fireplace, rooftop terrace.. I can't recommend anything else better than Casa Qatzij for relaxing around lake atitlan.

“Absolutely loved my stay here! The entire team within the hostal was so welcoming and warm. The hostal is clean with ver”

I ended up staying three weeks in total because the volunteers there were simply amazing, Andres was happy to help with his local knowledge and they were all happy to share their knowledge of beautiful spots to explore in the area.

“On the other side of the world this place felt like home to me.”

I never walked into a guest house where it felt such like home immediately. Mostly thanks to the warm, friendly and helpful staff. Besides that the guesthouse has a cozy living and dining room and a kitchen with everything you need. I wish I could have stayed longer, but will definitely try to come back one day. Thanks everyone of Casa Qatzij for making this stay very special.

“Beautiful casa and people, perfect travel experience.”

The staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is very engaging and friendly. They are genuinely open and interested in you and ensuring you have a wonderful time. The casa itself is stunning. It has a wonderful understated elegance. It works really well as a guesthouse while still having the best elements of a hostel where you can meet travellers, have conversations and connect across varied cultures. The location is local.... you interact with locals who are relaxed, friendly and polite. Andres will explain how to have the best local experiences, including, the chicken bus, truck pick up and public la lancha experiences as well as authentic craft. The casa is very good value for money.

Very nice building, affordable privates, and friendly staff. You can do your laundry there by hand (free, soap provided), or use their washing machine (paid). Kitchen is well maintained. Showers and washrooms are good. Place is safe. Dogs are very well behaved. Great location, close to the market and main square.

“Amazing stay with really kind staff in a wonderful town. Couldn’t recommend more”

The room was really cool and the property well placed

“Disappointing”

The structure of the building was cool
