Chill stay
Pros:

The property is located on the upper slope of the mountain. It was a great workout walking there from the ferry dock 🙂, although you can also take a tuk-tuk. The owner couple were very kind and helpful. She assisted us in booking a shuttle bus from Panajachel to Chichicastenango for the next morning. The room is big and clean. The breakfast was generous and satisfying.

Cons:

The village dogs threw what sounded like an all-night barking party 😂. Just when they finally took a short break, the roosters decided it was their turn to shine and started crowing. The result? I barely slept all night 😢. Of course, this was completely out of the hotel owner’s control — just part of the authentic village experience!

Pros:

Une des plus belles vues du lac Atitlan. Sur les hauteurs de santa Cruz, j'ai pu faire des photos des volcans. La famille nous a très bien accueilli. Ils sont très serviables. Un excellent petit déjeuner. Merci à vous pour cet agréable séjour.

Lovely people and a breathtaking view in an extraordinary location.
Pros:

Incredible views, lovely family, totally unique experience. Good breakfast and very helpful when we had an extremely early start on departure.

Cons:

Rather terrifying steps and in the middle of a building site. Only for the nimble!

Great, comfortable stay
Pros:

Very clean room and facilities. It is a duplex, so you share the building (kitchen + bathroom) with another guest.

Cons:

Checking in was difficult. I had to find the owner at his house near the top of the hill. But he was very kind.

a warm host in an untouristy town
Pros:

If you are interested in a party atmosphere, this posada is not for you. But if you want to stay in a lovely room with a warm host, it's a good choice.

Great hospitality
Pros:

To be clear, the photos & reviews combine two separate accommodations. There is a lovely large room in Juanita's home, and a few mins away, a separate small apt with 2 private rooms and a shared kitchen & bath. . We stayed in the latter. Convenient & clean, and included a lovely breakfast served each morning. Juanita was helpful & sweet.

Cons:

Very busy & noisy neighbourhood, right below the CEPAC & school.

Passable
Pros:

The lady is very nice and very welcoming, the room was good but no view.
Breakfast was ok

Cons:

Slept 5 hours as it was very noisy, 1 dog was barking lound until 1 am in front of the door and some house us builded just in front and the workers start 6am with really loud music on speakers and has it is a small space it resonnates a lot, maybe would be nice if she asked them to make an effort and not put the music soo early.

Lovely quiet place with breakfast included
Pros:

I like staying with the little family, they had cute chickens and a rooster. I love the view from their house. I had a private balcony in a private apartment with shower, bathroom and dressing room; bed with bug net and a bunch of windows to see the lake outside and volcanoes.

Cons:

The households up pretty high on the hill. You can walk down the hill, but up it was a challenge. It is very steep, warm during the day. So if I had to go to the lake, I sometimes would take a tuk tuk back up for only 10Q.

Amazing homestay
Pros:

This is simply an amazing homestay. A big room with a private rooftoop to see the sunset and sunrise. Everything is perfectly clean! The included breakfast is delicious and everyday something new - amazing.
Finally, Roberto and his family is very nice and supportive but they also leave your private space.
10/10

Cons:

Nothing!
