- The ceiling fan is not enough in the rooms. A/C should be in ALL rooms. It was 38°C when I stayed and the ceiling fan was not strong enough to ensure a comfortable temperature. - WiFi should be in all areas of the property. It’s 2025. No one should have to go out of their room to get WiFi connections. - There was poor communication when trying to organise a shuttle from Flores city (not the airport) to the Lodge. It took me 2 days to get the correct information and correct costs from whoever I was speaking to (in English and Spanish!). I was given two different costs (and of course they said the most expensive was the correct cost) and they kept giving me times of pick up from the airport when I kept explaining I wasn’t at the airport, I was in Flores itself. However, once actually at the lodge, booking a return shuttle was very straightforward. - The pool was closed during my stay and no prior warning or discount was offered.

- Excellent location. 5 min walk to the Park entrance. - Lodges are compact and clean. - Each lodge had a sitting area outside, which was nice. - Mosquito nets on the beds. - Bathrooms and shower area kept very clean and good shower pressure and temperature. - Restaurant offers good variety of food. - I found all the staff to be very pleasant in person (over messaging, more mixed! See below!)

Fantastic place, steps from Tikal! The room was spotless and the facilities were great. It was hot, yes, but what do you expect? You're in the jungle! The fan was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the howler monkeys! <3 They offered a great discount since the pool was out of commission.

Pool was closed with no Indication of that on reservation

Right at the entrance to tikal archaeological site. Beautiful jungle surroundings

It was good to stay in Tikal for the night and this place was very close so super convenient. The staff was great but they were a bit fussy to take USDs even when the condition of the notes was great, we used them afterwards and no one complained but at Jungle lodge they created a bit of trouble for us.

Shuttle is a little pricey in comparison to other options. No filtered water refill stations (however, they provide some bottled water).

Hostel rooms are cozy and comfortable, with full mosquito nets. Bathrooms are cleaned often. Lots of common areas, and the surrounding gardens are gorgeous. Sunrise tour was informative, and a coffee bar beforehand was a nice bonus.

Two things that would make the stay better is to have extended WiFi coverage outside of the lobby area, and to extend the restaurant menu with some more local dishes and vegetarian options.

The prime benefit of the Jungle Lodge is its proximity to the Tikal ruins, making the stay worth it to catch the sunrise in the park.

This was our third time staying at the Jungle Lodge Hotel and it continues to be as well run and beautiful as it was 20 years ago. We had our family of 5, with some of us staying at the hostal and two of us staying in the bungalows. It was a very hot time of the year but the rooms cooled down nicely with a breeze (no AC). its a real treat to be in the jungle with so much relative luxury. It was special to meet the two grandsons of the founder of the hotel and important local collaborator with archaeologists, José Antonio Ortiz Contreras.

I guess the pool could've been warmer, and it would've been nice if the ho(s)tel gave (more) free drinking water. Also would've liked if the restaurant offered some food - like a coffee and croissant - before the Tikal national park opened, since nothing else is open around to get some sustenance before exploring.

Absolutely gorgeous building surrounded by a jungle and SO close (a 5 minute walk) to the entrance of Tikal. Stunning dark wood decor, lovely common room (with a pool table and foosball), outdoor pool with deck chairs, comfy sitting area near the reception desk too. Oh! And above the "hostel" part was another common area with hammocks. The room was small but still the right size. Comfy beds with mosquito nets. Shared bathrooms that were clean and private. They screened a documentary about the Mayans for free the night that I stayed too. Really amazing experience here. The restaurant was wonderful too! Ate dinner and then breakfast there and enjoyed it both times (and wasn't overly expensive).

The menu in the restaurant is really quite uninteresting. Lack of aircon and a damp feeling room.

Great location and super nice staff.

Staff was rude.

The location

Stayed in March 2025

When I booked this property I had no idea it was a for a bedroom with a communal bathroom. I was able to change at the site. The only room available was a junior suite. It was nice but not worth the price and I never had hot water.

Beautiful setting. Restaurant staff wonderful. Food great.

Stayed in February 2025

On the downside, the pool is extremely out of shape and would require a complete a redo.

The hotel is extremely well located right in the tickle park. The staff is friendly.. We booked the host hotel by mistake, but they could accommodate us the next day to move to a private room although we decided not to since the shared facilities were cleaning off and good enough for one more night The restaurant offers a decent choice of dishes and they are overall pretty good. I recommend the María cheesecake and tequila pie. That is more a lemon pie.

Stayed in March 2025

Directly next to the park entrance. Good food in the evening and a very nice tour guide (Jonathan) for the sunrise.

Stayed in February 2025

The restaurant was overpriced and the food was pretty ordinary. The bed was only a double on a queen sized base and the fan (whilst appreciated) was very noisy.

Beautiful common spaces. Lovely to stay within the NP and hear the jungle sounds.

Rooms 44 & 45 are literally right by the bathroom, and you can smell sewage, the rooms don't have windows, just screen.

Rooms 44 & 45 are literally right by the bathrooms, so you can just take a shower and walk back to your room in your towel.

Great location at Tikal ruins & offers sunrise and sunset tours. Shuttle transfer to/from Flores airport.

No atmosphere in the evening, two of 3 bars never open. prices of food and drink are expensive compared to rest of Guatemala. Pool is in rough shape, needs paint and is peeling sand in bottom. They charge 7.8 Q to USD ( 7.6 @ time of writing) so bring cash do not pay with CC

Very close ( 100m)to the Tikal park entrance. You can spot howler monkeys and toucans on the property. Beds are comfortable and it’s truly heaven if you want to relax

It was quite expensive for a hostal. Especially the restaurant.

Flexibility of the staff with transport. All our questions were properly answered. Evertyhing in and outside the hostal is clean.
