Pachamaya River Hostel

The spot by the river was beautiful, only a 20‑minute drive from Lanquin, and the pool area was lovely with the entrance to Semuc Champey within walking distance. The shuttle from Lanquin station to the hostel isn’t free – it costs 25Q unless you book the bus with them. Management was generally poor and the staff unhelpful. Rooms lacked towels and no replacements were offered; our room had a non‑working padlock, and when we asked for a new one they didn’t replace it. They tried to overcharge us for meals, the water pressure was a dribble, and the staff’s attitude toward our requests and questions was a major negative for this hostel.

The spot by the river, close to the park and surrounded by nature, was nice. The staff were kind and the service good. The pool was quality. The showers didn’t work well, and there were dead insects in the bed. The room didn’t have enough furniture. A 6 % tax was added for card payments (not mentioned on the website). Breakfast was included but not actually included. The listing was confusing.

“Pésimo”

The location was fine. The common areas were very dark and the hotel felt isolated; there was no fan, no activities to engage or entertain, and the staff offered little flexibility, no recommendations or solutions.

The pool area was nice and the river was close by, but you can’t bring outside snacks, the spot feels isolated, and there’s no 24‑hour service.

“I felt at home”

The river runs right past the property, so you can jump in for a quick swim, head to the pool, shower, and then have breakfast by the water—truly beautiful. The staff are great, super helpful, and they keep a tab so you don’t have to carry cash for every meal. On the downside, the shower water ran out on two days, the pillows were mediocre (I’m particular about that), and the dorm beds lacked full curtains.
