We loved our stay at dreamboat! The staff were super welcoming (shoutout to Chris and Laura) and the hostel had a great vibe. They have a rooftop pool and a pool party on Saturday! They have good food at the hostel. Also at 10pm they take everyone who wants to keep partying to a nearby bar so that if you want to sleep, it’s very quiet.

This was a great spot that looked family owned and run. It was very clean. It was a relaxing spot close to town but far enough away to not hear any noise. Hot showers, comfy bed, and a great price. It also had a common area for kitchen

+ The location was beautiful! The cabins are surrounded by nature, saw avocados hanging from the trees and squirrels hopping around. + No spiders or scorpios in the accomodation + Super clean and cabin has great smell of wood + Kept in contact with the manager all time, they answered all of my questions, provided with clear instructions how to reach the house. + The manager was friendly and let me do late check out! + The water in the shower was great, no issues adjusting the temperature. + Loved the style of the cabin!

I loved this hostel. The staff was very helpful and the hostel is kept very clean. There is a gorgeous terrace overlooking the lake and volcanoes which is an amazing place to start your morning and end your night. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook. The value for money for this place is exceptional. I was recently travelling through Europe where I payed 5 times the price for a door room. Mandalas was much nicer and offered a lot more in comparison to the hostels I stayed at there. The beds are large and very comfortable. The location is excellent, (just off from the Main Street with restaurants, bars, and lake access.) This was a great place for me to rest and explore San Pedro and the surrounding towns around the lake. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to lake Atitlan!

This property is absolutely gorgeous - wow! Location is perfect right on the water and honestly you could just chill by the pool for a few days. Lovely way to experience San Pedro and Lake Atitlan. Room was large and kept clean. Food we tried was lovely.

All hostels in Panajachel

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It's probably one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Beds are comfy with full curtains and lockers to store your bags in before checkin or after checkout. And possibly the best staff that honestly make you feel welcome from the very moment you enter.

Recommend this hostel without any hesitation. It's social, clean, owners are super friendly and helpful, the beds are confortable and have curtains. There are chillout areas on the balcony and a super nice rooftop terrace. The location is super central and you have plenty of shopping and eating facilities for any budget close.
