Come for a night and stay for a week! This place is a perfect spot to stop and chill for a while. Beautiful property that the owners Dimitri and Natalie have poured their heart and soul into over the last 10+ years. I stayed in the dorm which is very nice. 2 floors, 3 beds to a floor and the beds are very big and comfy, unlike most hostels. The restaurant serves great food and you're guaranteed to make some new friends here.

Motorcyclists are very welcome here and they'd love to see more of us visiting! You can also camp in your tent anywhere on the property for 40Q/night and still have access to all the other amenities. Big rigs not advised, there are 2 very tight 90 degree turns coming up to the property, I don't think anything larger than a truck with rooftop tent could make it. All in all one of my favorite places I've ever stayed and I hope to make it back there some day.

Easy to find follow signs on the road. Really good place, helpfull owners, clean, there is a chief so good food, but there isn’t kitchen access to cook your stuff. Can park motorcycle in the garden. Bungalow, dorms, camping with your tent.. dorm of 6, 3 ground floor 3 first floor. Big beds, just to know there isn’t electricity plug on first floor but there are lockers. Hot water. Nice garden, saw colibri. No view on the lake but on the canopy. Pétanque playground. My advice not for big rig because way to go is short and slippery and 2 turn at 90! (see pictures), car no problem.
Good spot to stay for visiting Tikal

This place is darling. Really well done. From the outside the cabins look really nicely done. They have bocci ball and batmittin games. A chill area. Things have changed since the owners wrote their review. They have a restaurant, that means they don't allow you to use the open air kitchen. That is now just for the volunteers. They recently aquired the property next to them. Built a vegetable garden and another cabin and some parking. Currently the parking is pretty un- level and this unattractive dirt parking lot is where we overlanders camp in our vehicles. The facility's are great. Shower is "warm"...barely, you can tell is not freezing. The shower room is reall cool. Toilets are what we dream about in our sleep. The restaurant smelled wonderful, menu looks great, sadly we are tight on budget at the moment and did not try. 35Q per person for camping. There is electricity in the garden and when we stayed there was no extra charge. No wifi, dogs allowed. The road up there is NOT FOR EVERYONE!!!! You might be able to make it up without 4x4, but maybe not. The corners are super tight. Our pick-up is about 16.5 feet long and we barely made it. We parked at the bottom, walked up, asked about camping then decided we could do it. I recommend you to do the same. Great place to jump to Tikal. We hide our dog when we went to tikal. FYI, they asked us about a dog, we said no, they checked our camper. Thankfully he didn't move!

Fantastic place! Nathalie and Dimitri opened it earlier this year so everything is new and tastefully done. We opted for the private cabana which was 200Q/night but they also have cheaper options. The food they make is delicious and the desserts even better, try the Bananofi and thank me later ;) there's also laundry, a fire pit, a platform in the trees and awesome views. We stayed for two nights and wished it could be longer, but we had to move on. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing, like a little piece of paradise! There are private rooms for 200Q or a space in dorms for Q70. This is the perfect place to make a stop to unwind for a few days after long days on the road. Their gardens are expansive and quiet with a beautiful view over the ridgeline. Everything is brand new and polished wood which adds to the tranquil atmosphere. And the food! Simply delicious, especially the deserts. This place is run by a couple of french expats and so it is delicious fresh, organic european/modern food - if you need a break from rice and beans, this is the place. I can;t talk highly of it enough - after 2 months on the road, this is my favorite place.

A nice place with a view on the rain forest. Nathalie and Dimitri, the French&Belgian owners are a very nice and friendly couple.
We definitely enjoyed our stay there and hope to be back some time.
