Although this hotel has a nice location, it is overpriced for what you get. The rooms do have lovely views and the hotel does have some nice areas, however the prices for rooms, food and facilities are way overpriced. The hot tub is an extra 275q and even internet is 25Q (about 3 times the normal price). The evening meal... more

We stumbled on to to Case del Mundo from a guide book and needed a place to stay before moving on to San Pedro. It was literally the highlight of our two week trip to Guatemala and Belize. Starting from the impressive sight as you aproach by boat to the genuine friendliness and courtesy of the staff. It is one... more

Went there with boyfriend and friends and had the most amazing experience ever! Never felt so good! The landscape puts everyone in such good mood, it’s really hard not to smile all the time! I’m a smoker (nicest ashtrays, by the way), so it was bit difficult to climb all those steps, but it was a small price to enjoy... more

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. It is easily the most beautiful place I've ever stayed. We had a room with a shared bathroom, which was smaller but spotless and had everything we needed for a four night stay. The food is fantastic and is served family-style so you get to meet others at the hotel. The... more

We were in Guatemala for a language school. A friend of ours told us about Casa del Mundo. We also saw it in the Lonely Planet guide book. We booked a night (this was in 2005 not 2006) by depositing money in their bank account. That was part of the charm. It is beautiful. The setting, the grounds. It is... more

OK, so we were torn between reserving at La Casa Del Mundo and Lomas De Tzununa, so we ended up staying at both. LCDM was our 1st stop on the lake. After reading previous reviews we requested room #12. We absolutely loved it. This is a large vaulted bungalow and is up the highest of all rooms. This is easily... more

this hotel and the location were phenomenal. My girlfriend and I spent our first full day in Guatemala here, and in all honesty, we both commented that we could have spent our entire vacation here and been perfectly content (but we didn't do that). The location is breathtaking- the approach via ferry left us both in awe. Staff is incredibly... more

My family spent 4 nights at the hotel and I can not find a single negative thing to say about the experience. We had four people in a large room ( #13) with views to die for! All of us enjoyed the food and the group dinners were especially fun as we met some wonderful travellers who we ended up... more

Our group of four stayed in Casa del Mundo for one night on 10 February 2009. We took a 20 minute launch (boat) from Panajachel for 20 Quetzales (under 3 USD) to get to the hotel (next to the village of Jaibalito.) The hotel is located on a steep hillside right on the shore of Lake Atitlán. We arrived on... more
