Set in Lanquín, 15 km from Semuc Champey, Yaxlik River Lodge offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a bar. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. I loved waking up to the river everyday. This hostel was the most amazing view by the river. The hosts were so nice. At one point they took my call to meet me outside because I was scared of a street dogs they came to my rescue right away. As for the dorms they are very simple and basic but they do the job.

Food was simple but very good and reasonable price, hot water and location is pretty good being next to other restaurants and a really good supermarket. We had a great stay here.

At the hostel, each room is equipped with a patio with a mountain view. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, and certain units at Viñas Hotel have a balcony. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice this place was after driving through the town. Vinas is honestly like an oasis of comfort. The pool was clean and water in it just the right temperature to relax after a hot day. We spent most of the evening there. The room is really spacious, much larger then any of the other places we stayed in Guatemala. Food at the restaurant was quite good. We also got the guided Semuc Champey tour and it was AWESOME. The guide showed us places we wouldn't have found on our own and generally catered to our preferences (we are an adventurous bunch so he showed us tons of places to jump from cliffs and other fun stuff).

Offering a bar, the property is located within less than 1 km of Blue Hole. The hostel provides an outdoor swimming pool, nightclub and a 24-hour front desk.

Located in Lanquín, 15 km from Semuc Champey, Vista Verde Lodge features views of the city. There is a restaurant serving African cuisine, and free private parking is available.

An à la carte breakfast is available at the hostel. Pool was beautiful. Staff were exceptional. Because I’m 73 years old they gave me a single room instead of a bed in a dorm like I had requested. But I didn’t pay any more for the room! They were concerned for me. Food was also delicious and varied.
