We made La Casa del Mundo the last stop in our trip to Guatemala, and it was definitely worth it. We had fortunately already visited the towns around Lake Atitlan earlier in our trip and therefore didn't feel compelled to leave the hotel during our 3 night stay. The view is amazing, as the photos indicate and with that alone... More

The setting, the views, the lovely touches and attention to detail across the whole property make this a place to remember. The better rooms are a little pricey for Guatemala but are worth every penny. After all it's still cheap compared to home This is our fourth 3 month winter trip and this place ranks as one of the most... More

I have been to La Casa del Mundo several times over the past few years and this is definitely one of my favorite places in the world. The hotel is thoughtfully designed and the views of the lake and volcanoes from the rooms, terraces, and balconies are just stunning. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional. The... More

I loved my experience at Casa Del Mundo. The staff was warm and welcoming, the food was delicious and the location was absolutely stunning. We stayed for only a few days for our friends' beautiful wedding. Our room faced the lake and brought in great sunlight. I would definitely go back here. More

I just returned from my third visit to LCDM and I can't wait to go back. The location is just stunning, the food delicious (and more than generous), and the staff incredibly helpful. While there are many great sites around the lake, the last two times I visited, I didn't leave the grounds of LCDM, because why would you? It's... More

The setting, the views, the service, the entire manner in which Casa del Mundo is laid out and the philosophy from which it was conceived make it one the few "unmissable" hotels I have ever stayed at. More

Fantastic views. Amazing rooms - but be prepared to climb alot of stairs to get to your room if it's near the top. Having a torch helps navigate in the dark (although a torch is provided).The food was excellent and I was very impressed at the variety of the vegetarian food. The location unique - only accessable on foot or... More

This is not an easy review to write as I absolutely adored the hotel itself - it's beautiful, the view is to die for and the rooms and furnishings are simply gorgeous. The attention to detail is incredible. The concept of the communal dinner was fab, food was great, staff was sweet and hardworking, the environmental policy rocks. We didn't... More

Having had an amazing stay at Club Ven Aca on the lake, I thought I would give the nearby Casa Del Mundo a try - big mistake. There was absolutely no comparison in terms of quality. The casa del mundo is covered in creepy crawlies, my room was small and poky, the food was extremely poor and the staff -... More
