    My room was spacious, clean, and cozy. The terrace just in from of the room offers a nice place to sit down in the morning or at night time for a chat, a meal or just to relax. In the middle of the road to Tikal and Yaxha. The bus stop going to and from Flores is just in front of the posada. Thanks to the family who did their best to make me feel at home and helped me buy my tickets to visit Tikal and Yaxha. A place that I do highly recommend.

    Lots of greenery and plants around. Didn't notice too many bugs but nets provided. Owner was very helpful, arranged for our laundry to be done, helped book us a tour of Tikal and shuttles to Belize. Lovely area, able to walk to key places.

    Being greeted friendly, able to park our van inside and having the room very close to the van was great. Wifi works well (though not the fastest), ceiling fan and normal fan in the room were absolutely sufficient. The kitchen outside is great and has all you need. Your can walk out and find everything in less than a minute. Absolutely recommendable 👍

    The kitchen is not very well equipped but it is perfectly fine for a couple of days :)

    Big room, the shower is amazing (warm and a lot of water), and the hosts are very friendly. The location is perfect for collectivos to Santa Elena or Tikal.

    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!

    Lovely place to stay. The lady is really nice. Information on transport to Tikal and Flores is provided, both private and public options. There's a kitchen you can use with drinking water available but if you don't fancy cooking you're right in the middle of the town with easy access to restaurants.
