The rooms were clean, beds had lamps, outlets, and curtains all the way around for privacy. There was a bathroom with shower and toilet for our four bunk room which was super convenient and there were lockers for securing your belongings. There was also drinkable water available throughout the hostel so that was a nice touch as well!
The staff were so awesome, super super nice. They literally went out of their way to make you feel included in the fun at the bar and were always helpful at the front desk. It felt kind of like summer camp where the staff were councillors working to create an inclusive environment. It takes a lot of work to create that kind of environment and they put in the effort.
Literally no complaints. Kitchen was small but I did t use it.

I am a 69 year old who was accompanied by my girlfriend 65
We were a lot older than all the other visitors we met at dreamboat
Everyone was incredibly friendly. The staff reached out to us in every way possible.
Their interest in us was genuine
We enjoyed the company of young folks the conversations and how the owners took part of the whole scene
There is a lot of partying but no one is obnoxious. And all is quiet by 9 pm

Good location if Panajachel. Private room was clean and spacious. Very nice staff can organize tours.
Rooftop with a bar.
Can leave your luggage in a locker for free
Very thin walls so can be loud. Party people on rooftop can be very loud but all party and noise stops at 10pm.

Le BRUIT jusque très tard le soir était compliqué .
Les journées au Guatemala étant épuisante, c’était vraiment pas agréable même si c’est bien indiqué pour le bruit et que ça nous avait été communiqué… depuis notre chambre c’était extrêmement mal insonorisé, du coup on entend même les personnes parler dans leur dortoirs 😫

Good location, owner was personable. Reception gave us good info on what activities there were to do around.
Too noisy as we landed on a Monday and it was karaoke night.
Not suitable we felt for a older couple more of a party type hostel for young people

Dreamboat was an amazing hostel. From the second you walked in to check out all the staff and volunteers were friendly. The facilities were great and the dorm and bathrooms were very clean. Be prepared to drink many beer bongs! Even though there is a party or event every night, quiet hours are enforced at 10 pm which makes it a perfect mixture for people who wants a early night and people who wants to have a fun time.

Amazing staff and volunteers. Great bar/common area, with low prices and lots of fun games and such. I also really liked the small gym.
2 very small critiques: the dorms could use more hooks for hanging stuff, and little personal lamps by each bed.

The staff (Capu & Shenny) were INCREDIBLE. They were super kind, patient, and friendly. They were happy to answer all of my questions and went out of their way to help. Big kudos to them -- they were the real stars of this place! The place also had a nice rooftop, and the location was incredible -- super close to the ferry.
This place is a party hostel through and through. It's a shame that the staff are so nice, because the people who stay here are garbage -- 20 yo's who just want to have drugs and blast 5 year old music. I get it, but you definitely need to know what you're getting into. Also, unfortunately there was a super drunk 37 yo Canadian (Chad Fabian) who got in my face and said racist and homophobic things -- the volunteers didn't really do anything to help and just excused it away. I heard later that he had done a similar thing earlier in the night, so it seems like they didn't do anything to handle the drunkard.

Great location and very smart front desk.
Lack of control over extra people entering into dorm bed in the midnight after party.

Kpu is really nice and helpful. The hostel is beautiful and there is a possibility to be quiet on one of the terraces if you want to get a bit distance of the party upstairs.
It should be written better that it is a party hostel, but they make it quiet a 10pm so it's ok. Just be aware of it. The girl at the reception in the morning didn't know any answer on my questions. After the 1st night i asked for a bottom bed and she said that I have to make a checkout, put my luggage at the desk, and ask for another bed/room when I come back the evening. I answered that the bed under mine is free and she answered that it is reserved for a group. I knew it was not true as the rest of the room stayed. In the evening I come back and you know what? They gave me that bed I asked exactly. No group nothing. The woman just lied and made my stay uncomfortable. She gave me also wrong directions.

Drinking water available, facilities seemed clean
I feel it’s probably the loudest hostel and the one I felt the least comfortable in during 9 years of traveling. For me their karaoke party on the rooftop was extremely loud, I heard it from a few streets away and couldn’t sleep with earplugs even after 10pm. I perceived it definitely as a party hostel and it should be clear from their description! Staff answering questions but didn’t seem very enthusiastic or understanding to me, seemed rather a bit disinterested. Dorm rooms felt cramped to me. Rooftop very small, photos give a different impression. Overall atmosphere not very friendly. I wouldn‘t stay again. Maybe nice for people who are into loud parties and spring break atmosphere but I feel like warning those who aren’t.

A perfectly nice hostel, with all the amenities.
Really well-located!
The shared kitchen was tiny! Some staff nicer than others and knew a limited amount about the local area.
Loud music could get annoying if your dorm is on one of the higher floors.

The stuff was really friendly and there was a restaurant to order food for a reasonable price :)
The beds were making a lot of noise and mainly I felt itchy in the bed. Later both my friend and me had strange red spots on our skin. Nothing serious I guess, cause they were gone within 2 days, but still.
Also the kitchen is very very very small for the amount of beds they have.

the first time I had a reservation and the hostel was full and I had to stay in a room down the road. they gave me a private but the wifi didn’t work in the rooms at the place they sent me. the second time I stayed here, my bed had a big dip in the mattress and the bar was very loud.
