We booked 2 nights at this property ,but we didn't stayed even 30 minutes,because of bad smell. We booked another hotel for the same 2 nights. When I returned the key the next day the person at the front desk told was the sewer and she offered a bottle of something to mitigate the smell .

Property could use some upgrades but overall it is in good condition. They should upgrade all pool furniture & keep pool area cleaner, plus play better tunes. The staff is very friendly… they do play the same playlist over and over again by the pool and that’s quite annoying. Music is loud & on by 9am. The room was kept clean by staff, and I had some good roommates. I stayed with 3 other girls. The food is very GOOD! There’s also free food in the communal kitchen left by other guests. No one touched my food in the fridge & they hold your bags in a locked room plus they set up transportation back to Antigua / Guatemala City, which was also great. I left my passport ID behind at the bar & they sent it to their Antigua location the next day. A lot of stray dogs, plus a resident dog, they keep mostly to themselves. Location is perfect… close to a lot of walkable bars, restaurants & clubs. I walked around pretty late (alone) and felt safe. It gets chilly at night, bring a jacket. Overall I would stay here again. I’m looking forward to trying other Selina locations.

This place has potential. They’ve included some thoughtful things that hostel-oriented travelers will appreciate, and the dining options are great. The woman at the reception desk during the day was super friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they had a king size bed, but the mattress was extra firm, which made my back hurt after a few days. There were a number of maintenance issues, but it did appear that they were actively working on them. Overall, if you don’t mind a hard bed, this is a good option in Panajachel.

Great location, great facilities. Checking in the service is terrible stressed staff that make you feel like you‘re an inconvenience to them and much stuffier service than than checking into a 5 star hotel 😂 But I guess we all have bad days it’s a great place to spend a night before an early transfer to the city but just don’t expect much help from the staff. Also avoid the wooden huts… any slight wind and the noise from the metal roofs banging about are gonna make you think you’re sleeping in a washing machine 😂 But overall decent enough place & good warm showers and a decent pool.

Overall, good experience; cold nights, we needed extra blankets. Saturday night was noisy because people was all over the hotel drinking, talking loud and partying. Shared bathroom was not clean regularly ( trash cans over flowing).

Private room was great in terms of cleaniness and comfort. The commom areas are also very nice, with a beautiful pool area. Food options are pretty good and there's a pool table. All of these elements make Selina a great place to stay. The only problem I had was regarding noise early in the morning, from trucks (construction and garbage) that are just outside the premise of the area. Not ideal if you'nore an earlybird.

It was magnificent, safe, calm, just simply awesome experience. It was my first time in a hostel and this experience was great! The people were amazing: Abner, Bartel, and Lisbeth were so wonderful. Panajachel and Guatemala in general will always be in my heart. Thank you for being so fabulous! I can't wait to come back...

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!, the "cabin" pictures are not even from the property, this was even aknowledged by the hotel manager. The pictures show a completely different cabin much bigger, with AC, with bathroom in a place with a lot of vegetation. NOT EVEN CLOSE, there is no AC, there is no bathroom, instead they have shared bathrooms in a separate location that were cleaned only once per day. Toilets dirty, trash cans always full. Open complaint with Expedia and the hotel doesn't even respond to them. I sent pictures to Expedia showing side by side what is being advertised and reality. After many hours on the phone I was told I would get refund for only one of the cabins that I booked. (I had booked two), I hope I get at least that refund.

The photos of the cabins that they offer on Expedia are a hoax and a scam. When you arrive to see the cabins they are facing the street, they do not have private bathrooms and they are tiny. The photographs themselves said that they uploaded them from another place, because theirs were not finished. It was a scam to the point that I decided not to stay there. The service at the reception is heavy and rough. Even other foreigners had the same cheating problem with the photos.

The double rooms are a bit small. I ordered coffee for breakfast and the staff provided me with caps that were rinsed with water (I didn’t see them use soap) and my cop had sugar crust from the prior guest stuck to the bottom. The rest of the staff were very helpful. The vibe is great, but the actual facilities don’t warrant the price.

Selina was a perfect place to stay in Pana! It was right in the heart of the town so walking everywhere was very easy! The staff was very fun and helpful and the entire place was designed to make you feel welcome! This is more of a co-working, nomad style place rather than a traditional hotel which makes it great for solo travelers or those wanting to meet other people in the common area. Both the hotel and town have tons of activities so it is easy to come for a few days and want to stay for more! when in doubt... book that extra night in this amazing place!

Facilities were good, but the staff was not helpful at all. During my whole stay, the guest next to me played loud music (all night and early morning). I could not sleep at all. I talked directly to reception and they did nothing, they were completely indifferent.

It was very bohemian. The room was cute but I wouldn’t use room 127 again. It’s right beside the road and you get all the road noise. The first night we woke up at 5 am because of someone shouting about their church. The second night I woke up 3 times because of dog’s barking. So not a very restful night.

We really enjoyed our time, we even ended up booking a second night in an upgraded room! They really have a range of rooms to fit all kinds of travelers. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful when asking for advice or chatting while eating in the restaurant. There is a bit of noise from the street but that is to be expected all over town. Overall a great stay and would be back!

¿Qué es logística?• La logística son todas las operaciones llevadas a cabo para hacer posible que un producto llegue al consumidor desde el lugar donde se obtienen las materias primas, pasando por el lugar de su producción.• Son la mayoría de las veces las operaciones que tienen que ver con el transporte, almacenamiento y las distribuciones en los mercados. Por estas razones se podría considerar a la logística como una operación externa a la fabricación directa del producto. Por lo mismo las empresas suelen hacer outsorcing (subcontratar).
