    There are no restaurants real close but the supper Life builders made was excellent.

    Staff were so friendly. They made me supper when I got there and drove me to the airport very early in the morning. A great gem to stay at and highly recommend.

    The room was too small. It didn’t have a closet or fan. We didn’t have space for our backpacks in the room.

    Location. Clean and secure.

    Great location near Aurport and easy to get to historic places. Staff is ready to do car transfers and get you where you need an additional fee. This is for a good cause, too. They are building an orphanage near Atitlan Lake.

    Some beds are noisy, and I believe it's the mattress that make the noise.

    Family environment, you can bring your own fruits or cook something light. They have the option to cook for you breakfast,lunch and dinner. I had their breakfast good food typic food. Good location near the airport and a few minutes away from Zoo, and Historic Center. They will pick you up and drop you off anywhere you request an additionally agreed price. Friendly staff.

    The mattresses in the bunkbeds need to be changed soon, mine was too soft for a great sleep. The location is a bit complicated to arrive if not by car. But other than these, is a great hostel to stay for a night before going to the airport.

    Staff treat is excellent, the facilities are very clean and had hot showers. Nice terrace and kitchen. Great WIFI speed. Cheap transfer service to the airport.

    Rooms are really basic, not to fresh bed linen, no towel provided, no en suite bathroom, steep stairs are not for everyone, area a bit sleazy.

    Close to the airport, perfect for a late arrival or an early departure. Nice and helpful staff. Access to kitchen, complimentary coffee or tea. Good value overall. Most importantly: what you pay is for the benefit of a humanitarian project, not to make another capitalist even more rich!

    Our room was off the kitchen so it was a bit noisy sometimes. But there are quieter rooms on other floors. It is necessary to get an Uber/taxi to see the tourist sites in Zone 1. However the Uber is not expensive.

    The staff really tried hard to make us welcome and assist us in every way. Room and bed were very comfortable. Very nice communal kitchen leading out to a roof terrace. Really enjoyed this outside area and wonderful view of the city. Near the airport.

    It was far away from the city life, but that made it very quiet at night which was fine. Ubers are cheap as well.

    The patio has an amazing view of the town and the mountains and the sunset was beautiful. The place was very hospitable, and they have food there you can pay little for to eat.

    Only issue for me was layout of bunk beds. Couldn't sit up and bumped my head a number of times.

    Extremely clean and tidy. Great showers with hot water and pressure. Very close to airport. The guy that operated the place was very kind and understanding when I didn't understand the spoken spanish. Location mainly residential, but close enough to walk to local taco and chicken places and bakery - wonderfully tasty and cheap local food. Nice outdoor patio for lounging. Wifi zone worked well, in room was hit/miss. Transfer to airport at 4 am was quick and easy, much appreciated.

    The bed was not very comfortable but I am older so that may be the reason

    Location was a bit tight but was able to park the truck inside for security. Staff waited for me to get there and it was late. Very pleasant and helpful. There was frozen food to purchase and warm up in the large common kitchen. The views from the dorm area where to die for. Overall a great stay

    The only thing I would have asked for would have been a fan for the room; however, when the window is open you have plenty of air.

    The location was great because it was close to the air port. There is a nice little bakery directly across the street. Great views. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great value.
