    The host is amazing. Very kind woman, very helpful. She gave us lots of info about place to eat, to visit, how to use the bus etc. She also let us using the swimming pool anytime we wanted with no restriction. I also really like the terrace and the hammock on the terrace. The location is slightly downtown but you can walk down very quick and take the bus for few BZD. The bus stops very close. Nice bakery on walking distance and the chocolate factory.

    Nothing - for those who have mobility issues it is truly ‘hilltop’ from the town centre, so is a 10 min walk uphill if going down there.

    A fantastic stay - the staff are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful and were a real highlight of our stay. The room is spacious with plentiful amenities and a very comfortable bed. We didn’t even use the pool due to our sunburn - but it looked extremely inviting!

    We had such a relaxing weekend at Hilltop Horizon Guesthouse in San Ignacio. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at home—super friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The room was clean, cozy, and just what we needed for a quick escape with my wife. What really made the stay special was the pool—perfect for cooling off in the Cayo heat. We even took advantage of the grill on-site to cook up some meat while enjoying the views and a laid-back vibe. It felt like our own little hilltop hideaway. The location is ideal too—just a short drive from the Cahal Pech Maya Site and close to all the essentials like stores and restaurants. If you’re looking for an authentic, easygoing place to stay in San Ignacio, we highly recommend Hilltop Horizon. It’s a great spot to unwind, explore, and feel right at home.

    Only downside is that it’s at the top of the hill (obviously). Be prepared to sweat walking back home. There are many restaurants and supermarkets nearby though so no need to go down if you don’t want.

    Amazing host, great pool to relax in after hot days in San Ignacio. Clean comfortable private room with AC. They even organized shuttle pickups for atm caves and to go to Guatemala. Great stay!

    We loved our stay at Hilltop Horizon Guesthouse. The owners are amazing people who help you make the most of your stay with great recommendations and their warm personalities. The rooms are well appointed and maintained and the pool is lovely after a day of exploring in the heat. Highly recommend staying here as your base for exploring the beautiful area around San Ignacio.

    "The Dog Momma" as she is known because of her group that helps lady street doggies also REALLY helped me out during my stay halfway up the hill in San Ignacio. She personally took me to three places to try to get cash out or cash back because I was having difficulty with the pin on my VISA cards! This was service above and beyond!

    Due to a strike and border closure my sister and I had to find an accommodation last minute in San Ignacio and were so glad to come across this hotel. The price was very fair, there was a lovely pool outside and the staff were really kind and helpful with restaurant recommendations and letting us store our luggage. We would happily stay there again next time we are in Belize.

    We loved our stay here. The hosts were amazing and went out of their way to help us organise activities. We loved the canoeing trip they set us up with. It was nice to stay at a Belizean owned guesthouse and chat with them about life in Belize. Everything was spotlessly clean. Great pool, air conditioning in room. It was a lovely stay

    Next to quite a noisy road so if you are a light sleeper you may be disturbed without earplugs

    Staff were very helpful with booking trips and taxis. The room was very big and the pool with the inflatables was very nice.

    Nothing

    The room was clean and comfortable with lots of space (including a lockbox, desk and somewhere to hang your clothes). The shower was hot which was a luxury! The location is about 10 min walk to the centre of town (it’s at the top of a fairly steep hill) and there are a few restaurants nearby. Sonia who runs the guesthouse was SO kind - she was really flexible when I was delayed arriving due to illness and was always on hand to answer any questions/help organise trips/transport. Would definitely recommend.

    It is in the city so there were some barking dogs at night and there was a concert one night we were there down in the central part of town which we could hear. I assume this is an issue with any hotel/guest house within the town so nothing to put on the management but something to know when you stay. If you want complete silence and isolation this isn't your spot.

    The accommodations were pretty central in the town so it was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Accommodations met all expectations regarding price, friendliness, privacy, comfort, and we certainly enjoyed the pool. The staff was lovely.

    The shared kitchen was small and in the reception area so not easy to use but at least it does have one if you want to self cater.

    Sonia was lovely, nearly always around and willing to help. She keeps the place ticking and clean including the pool. She also did some laundry for us, thank you. The room was large and everything worked, aircon was helpful because it was hot!

    A mini fridge in the room would be nice, but they let us use their large fridge/freezer so it was not a problem.

    We really enjoyed the owners of the property. Everyone there was super friendly and gave us good tips on things to do and things to see. They always said hi when we left and again hi when we got back. We really felt at home here. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. We liked that we also could sit outside on the balcony area, or go down to the pool area. It's a walk down to the city center, but honestly, the restaurants around this hotel, is far better anyway. We traveled with our pet and the owners helped us get in touch with a vet to get a health certificate to continue to Guatemala. They also helped us to get a shared mini bus to Flores in Guatemala that had no problems waiting for us at the border while we got all papers stamped for our dog.
