My boyfriend and I spent a couple days here as a base to see Tikal. The hosts, Ray and Silvia, really made our trip; they set up our tour, helped us plan our trip, gave us a ride after we got in late at night, and even fed us breakfast before our big day at Tikal! We forgot an alarm clock so Ray kindly woke us up in the morning. They really bent over backwards to give us the trip of a lifetime!

We camped in the backyard with our tent so I don't know how the rooms are, but the bathroom facility was very tidy. It seems like the rooms held a couple of bunk beds with mosquito nets covering them. There's a tv room with a few hammocks, dining room with several tables and a full kitchen for guests to use. There was fresh fruit left in the kitchen for guests and cheap beer in the fridge for guests to buy. The hostel is in a neighborhood and is only a 10-15 minute walk to the center of town.

I cannot express how friendly and kind Ray and Silvia are. I highly recommend this... more
