Many private rooms are spacious and comfortable, though some cabins or teepees are small and rely on shared bathrooms. Common areas are pleasant, but the pool is repeatedly described as dirty or uninviting. Several reviews note street and music noise, mixed cleanliness and maintenance, occasional slow or unhelpful check-in, and a few disputes about cabin photos or value. Best for travelers who prioritize social atmosphere over silence or polish.

Great location, value,staff, activities and services. The pool did not look so inviting and it can be a little noisy, but we absolutely would go again. I recommend not booking with breakfast through Expedia, it is sometimes included with activities you can book there and there are many options to discover around

This was a beautiful hotel with excellent service. Note that this hotel chain is very focused on a younger crowd so expect dance music from breakfast onwards in the bar/restaurant as well as lots of ads and evening activities focused on partying. The organized outdoor activities such as hikes and lake tours were great and the staff were very helpful.

Property could use some upgrades but overall it is in good condition. They should upgrade all pool furniture & keep pool area cleaner, plus play better tunes. The staff is very friendly… they do play the same playlist over and over again by the pool and that’s quite annoying. Music is loud & on by 9am. The room was kept clean by staff, and I had some good roommates. I stayed with 3 other girls. The food is very GOOD! There’s also free food in the communal kitchen left by other guests. No one touched my food in the fridge & they hold your bags in a locked room plus they set up transportation back to Antigua / Guatemala City, which was also great. I left my passport ID behind at the bar & they sent it to their Antigua location the next day. A lot of stray dogs, plus a resident dog, they keep mostly to themselves. Location is perfect… close to a lot of walkable bars, restaurants & clubs. I walked around pretty late (alone) and felt safe. It gets chilly at night, bring a jacket. Overall I would stay here again. I’m looking forward to trying other Selina locations.

The property needs some urgent upgrades; dated furniture; very old towels and bedding; bathroom renovations; better care of the garden. Swimming pool was dirty, no one goes in the water. Staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast options at the restaurant were good and tasty. But I wouldn’t recommend this place until needed upgrades and renovations are completed. Customers should not get used to pay for poorly maintained properties.

My cousin and I stayed here for just one night at the end of our stay on Lake Atitlán. Our room (one of the teepees) was great and had everything we needed. The communal bathrooms were often out of toilet paper and paper towels. The restaurant/bar was expensive but the food was good. The bottom of the pool was covered in algae and no one was swimming while we were there. But the location is great for exploring Pana. Overall we would recommend but feel like the price is high for what you get.

Our room had a foul bathroom smell- when we closed the bathroom door it was contained and wasn’t bad. Other than that it’s a great place to stay. The staff, the location is great.

Great location, great facilities. Checking in the service is terrible stressed staff that make you feel like you‘re an inconvenience to them and much stuffier service than than checking into a 5 star hotel 😂 But I guess we all have bad days it’s a great place to spend a night before an early transfer to the city but just don’t expect much help from the staff. Also avoid the wooden huts… any slight wind and the noise from the metal roofs banging about are gonna make you think you’re sleeping in a washing machine 😂 But overall decent enough place & good warm showers and a decent pool.

This place has potential. They’ve included some thoughtful things that hostel-oriented travelers will appreciate, and the dining options are great. The woman at the reception desk during the day was super friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they had a king size bed, but the mattress was extra firm, which made my back hurt after a few days. There were a number of maintenance issues, but it did appear that they were actively working on them. Overall, if you don’t mind a hard bed, this is a good option in Panajachel.

The photos of the cabins that they offer on Expedia are a hoax and a scam. When you arrive to see the cabins they are facing the street, they do not have private bathrooms and they are tiny. The photographs themselves said that they uploaded them from another place, because theirs were not finished. It was a scam to the point that I decided not to stay there. The service at the reception is heavy and rough. Even other foreigners had the same cheating problem with the photos.

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!, the "cabin" pictures are not even from the property, this was even aknowledged by the hotel manager. The pictures show a completely different cabin much bigger, with AC, with bathroom in a place with a lot of vegetation. NOT EVEN CLOSE, there is no AC, there is no bathroom, instead they have shared bathrooms in a separate location that were cleaned only once per day. Toilets dirty, trash cans always full. Open complaint with Expedia and the hotel doesn't even respond to them. I sent pictures to Expedia showing side by side what is being advertised and reality. After many hours on the phone I was told I would get refund for only one of the cabins that I booked. (I had booked two), I hope I get at least that refund.

Property could use some upgrades but overall it is in good condition. They should upgrade all pool furniture & keep pool area cleaner, plus play better tunes. The staff is very friendly… they do play the same playlist over and over again by the pool and that’s quite annoying. Music is loud & on by 9am. The room was kept clean by staff, and I had some good roommates. I stayed with 3 other girls. The food is very GOOD! There’s also free food in the communal kitchen left by other guests. No one touched my food in the fridge & they hold your bags in a locked room plus they set up transportation back to Antigua / Guatemala City, which was also great. I left my passport ID behind at the bar & they sent it to their Antigua location the next day. A lot of stray dogs, plus a resident dog, they keep mostly to themselves. Location is perfect… close to a lot of walkable bars, restaurants & clubs. I walked around pretty late (alone) and felt safe. It gets chilly at night, bring a jacket. Overall I would stay here again. I’m looking forward to trying other Selina locations.

Private room was great in terms of cleaniness and comfort. The commom areas are also very nice, with a beautiful pool area. Food options are pretty good and there's a pool table. All of these elements make Selina a great place to stay. The only problem I had was regarding noise early in the morning, from trucks (construction and garbage) that are just outside the premise of the area. Not ideal if you'nore an earlybird.

Property was conveniently located, room was spacious and clean. Staff very helpful. Caters a bit more to younger crew with great activities at reasonable price and good on site restaurant. A good option!

The check in took some time if you get there early, other than that the standard rooms were very spacious. Its quiet. very central to everything. Would recommend

Great location, value,staff, activities and services. The pool did not look so inviting and it can be a little noisy, but we absolutely would go again. I recommend not booking with breakfast through Expedia, it is sometimes included with activities you can book there and there are many options to discover around

This was a beautiful hotel with excellent service. Note that this hotel chain is very focused on a younger crowd so expect dance music from breakfast onwards in the bar/restaurant as well as lots of ads and evening activities focused on partying. The organized outdoor activities such as hikes and lake tours were great and the staff were very helpful.

El hostal estaba hermoso, impecable en el aseo, te ofrece excelente servicio en los tour y su restaurante. Muy cerca para coger el embarque a las lagunas que quedan alrededor de panajache y cuenta con su propio bar para pasarla bien y conocer gente. Su atención fue excepcional y cuenta con el servicio de maletas después del check out para usar sus Áreas comunes.

The property needs some urgent upgrades; dated furniture; very old towels and bedding; bathroom renovations; better care of the garden. Swimming pool was dirty, no one goes in the water. Staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast options at the restaurant were good and tasty. But I wouldn’t recommend this place until needed upgrades and renovations are completed. Customers should not get used to pay for poorly maintained properties.

My cousin and I stayed here for just one night at the end of our stay on Lake Atitlán. Our room (one of the teepees) was great and had everything we needed. The communal bathrooms were often out of toilet paper and paper towels. The restaurant/bar was expensive but the food was good. The bottom of the pool was covered in algae and no one was swimming while we were there. But the location is great for exploring Pana. Overall we would recommend but feel like the price is high for what you get.

Socialtel in Lake Atitlan was AMAZING! It is a beautiful place, very helpful kind staff, clean, spacious, and in a great location. They have daily activities and you get a free welcome cocktail. My favorite part was breakfast! Where else can you get free breakfast of steak and eggs?! Ooof, elite experience! Will definitely recommend or come back! Thank you so much!

This hotel really captured the summer spirit! The check-in was smooth and welcoming. The welcome cocktail at The Beach bar was a lovely start. The pizza there was just right to keep the summer feeling alive. The outdoor gardens are beautiful, and at night, the lighting creates a bohemian atmosphere. After checking out, I paid to park my car overnight at the hotel so I could head to San Marcos La Laguna for a short stay.
