    Beautiful surroundings in cloud forest - could have stayed longer for sure.

    The mattresses were not the most comfortable I've ever slept on. Not a dealbreaker for sure, but the only negative I could think of.

    LOVED this location in the cloud forest. Feels like you are just sitting in nature. Also, was hard to find place with room for our whole family (traveling with 5 of us). Their family room has this corner window that is amazing! Really enjoyed sitting out on the patio and listening to the insects and birds. One night it rained and we sat listening to thunder and watching rain. You drive down a dirt road, but it's well-maintained and we didn't have any trouble. Breakfast was nice Guatemalan traditional breakfast - eggs and beans or I think they offered an oatmeal option too. Went to Semuc Champey on day 2 from here and was great we didn't have to go through traffic in Coban to get going since it's already on that side of town.

    Nice place for a short stay in the nature
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The water pressure in one shower was very poor and the other not good when next-door room used it. We prefer not to pay for breakfast. It would have been nice if we could order some local food for pm. The outdoor sitting could get a little maintenance/makeover.

    If you have a car/driver and like nature (and do not need to get frequently to the city) - the location is nice. Also for traveling early to Semuch Champey the location was great. The place feels like a mini welcoming resort we loved the option for a picnic area. The dining area is very nice if you like outdoors and the team made an effort to serve us.

    Nothing.

    Wonderfully helpful owner was so easy to communicate with even before we booked. He went out of his way to ensure our stay went smoothly. I cannot stress how very welcoming this place was. When I asked about wifi for an online interview I had, they brought a router to our room to speed things up. Beds were very comfy with great mattresses and linen. Lovely, clean and spacious room with desk and chair. Also a sofa in the room. Beautifully quiet away from town and off the main road. Well maintained gardens with lots of orchids. There was a share outdoor covered patio area with water filter, couches, microwave.

    Not all rooms have mosquito nets on the windows.

    Cleverly designed so that you feel in the forest while you´re practically in someone´s (beautiful) back yard. The owner, Miguel, and his staff are passionate about making you feel at home. It is outside Cobán, on the road to Chamelco, but there are frequent shuttle-buses passing on the road. Very good value for money.

    We weren’t able to get the temperature of the water in shower to stay warm, it would go from piping hot to icy cold . The menu at the restaurant is limited but if your not a finicky eater you’ll be ok.

    Place is very beautiful and staff extremely friendly.
