Juana the host was very kind and wanted to make sure everything went well. Delicious breakfasts! The room was beautiful, with a mosquito net on the bed. Separate rooms for bath and shower. Large walk in closet. The view was beautiful if you don’t look down.

The location. At the top end of the community, so looking down you see all the unfinished houses, laundry, cables and wires. The property and the entire town is on a steep hill, like 45° angle. Dogs barking at night woke me up at 3 am. The church started broadcasting at 6 am Sunday morning.

Logement au sein de la famille de Juana qui est une hôte très accueillante et chaleureuse. Village un peu isolé mais bien desservi par Lancha (bateau public) au départ de Panajachel (25Q par personne), puis tuk-tuk obligatoire avec les bagages car cela n'arrête jamais de monter (10Q). Se promener sur le chemin longeant le Lac Atitlan est à faire. Depaysement garanti au sein d'une famille et dun village authentique.

Ce n'est pas le village le plus charmant autour du Lac, mais il existe différentes associations qui permettent de vous guider et vous proposer de l'artisanat local, des cafés restaurants... Beaucoup de chiens sont présents dans le village.

El recibimiento, la atención y los cuidados de Juanita y Roberto son espectaculares. Con ellos vas a aprender sobre la tradición y cultura no solo de su pueblo, sino de todo su alrededor. El desayuno es basto y delicioso y la plática es interesante y amena.

Todo bien

Lovely place, friendly people, great breakfast, fantastic view, great WiFi even though the description said there was no WiFi available. Will definitely recommend this place.

Location was difficult to find, tuc tuc dropped me off at the wrong place. I did get some instructions but when I was already travelling (and I did not have mobile data) maybe send the instructions a day previous instead of on the morning of check in.

This accommodation was wonderful, the room is spacious with big windows, bed with bug net, a closet, separate shower and toilet, both very clean, and of course the rooftop seating. We enjoyed the sunset up there, overlooking the city. The breakfast was amazing, our host was always smiling and very helpful. The entire house is comfortable and clean. I would recommend it.

There are downsides without which I would give 10 stars. The water was sometimes not running. Our host told us upon arrival that it stops running at 8pm for the entire town and showed us where we can scoop up water into a bucket to use for flushing. We were prepared for this, however it also didn't run around noon on two days of our stay. If there is some schedule, it would be great to share it with the guests, or just say that it's unpredictable. Additionally, the accommodation is high up on a hill, 20+ minutes walking up a steep street from the port. A tuc tuc can take you up for 10Q per person. However, the entire town is on this steep hill, so there isn't much to do about it.

The accommodation was just perfect! Definitely one of our best stays in Guatemala so far. It’s location is a bit uphill, which we preferred because that way your are further from the noise of the dock and it gave us a nice feel of what living in town of Santa Cruz is like, including the very musical church services after working hours. If you don’t like walking uphill then there’s always the option of taking a tuctuc for a ride. Breakfast was the best, specially cooked for us by the host in the morning at a preferred time, as you are the only one at the accommodation. Unlimited coffee and tea included. The host herself is also lovely! She made sure we had everything we needed and was interested in our stay at Lake Atitlan and in Guatemala overall. Facilities were one of the cleanest we’ve had, with only the shower having specific instructions for hot water but working just fine. Every morning we would enjoy the sunrise from up our own private terrace above the room, with spectacular views of the lake. Even the vulcanos of Acatenango and the Fuego were visible on clear days, including eruptions! (look behind the far left corner of the lake when on the terrace) The location is also 2 minutes walking from one of the best restaurants on Lake Atitlan, Cafe Sabor, with some of the most delicious authentic dishes. The biological restaurant Nimajay, next to Cafe Sabor, was also very nice.

Honestly there’s not really anything that comes to mind, except maybe for some small spiders in the room, but you find those everywhere anyway.
