10/10 Exceptional

Property was conveniently located, room was spacious and clean. Staff very helpful. Caters a bit more to younger crew with great activities at reasonable price and good on site restaurant. A good option!
Mireille, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, value,staff, activities and services. The pool did not look so inviting and it can be a little noisy, but we absolutely would go again. I recommend not booking with breakfast through Expedia, it is sometimes included with activities you can book there and there are many options to discover around

The check in took some time if you get there early, other than that the standard rooms were very spacious. Its quiet. very central to everything. Would recommend

6/10 Good

Nice place with nice employees. The dorms weren’t the cleanest and the shower broke. It would clog up nearly enough to spill out of the shower.

Excellent Hotel!

Overpriced, but good location

My cousin and I stayed here for just one night at the end of our stay on Lake Atitlán. Our room (one of the teepees) was great and had everything we needed. The communal bathrooms were often out of toilet paper and paper towels. The restaurant/bar was expensive but the food was good. The bottom of the pool was covered in algae and no one was swimming while we were there. But the location is great for exploring Pana. Overall we would recommend but feel like the price is high for what you get.
Sarah, 1-night trip

Great place and location. Lots of activities. Definitely recommend the private rooms!

Pricey for what you get, dated just ok
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This place is close to a lot of things. The only thing is that the pool is dirty and it’s loud at night. It’s close to the main road, so you’ll heard all the neighbor dogs barking at night. Our room had a foul bathroom smell- when we closed the bathroom door it was contained and wasn’t bad. Other than that it’s a great place to stay. The staff, the location is great.
Mariamawit, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pool was really dirty they had an algae problem, restaurant area was not clean and overall maintenance of the garden and lobby was really poor.
Ana, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unique accommodation with the 'teepee' but there was a smell and was not clean especially the bathrooms for the teepee. The staff seemed to be inconvenienced when asked a question. Never gpt back to me on the services and tours they "offered."

Fantastic experience!

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...
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice rooms, clean, spacious, well layed out and well equiped. Staff is very good, rooms are not sound proof .... so lots of noise from other unruly guests partying staying in adjacing room past midnight Pool was green with algea and not usable. Great spa services!
Linda, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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 .
Julio, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Karl, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The front desk staff was not welcoming. Overall there is lot of noise late into night. However, the hotel is decent.
Sameer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay

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).
Indira, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

They charged me twice for a room that they had not put it online. I would not come back again and I do not recommend this hotel to anybody.
Julian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room had black spots all over the walls, looked like there was mold everywhere. Shower would not drain. Plywood was used as the headboard. Towels were not ready upon checkin. Will not be staying here again
Brenton, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
