Perfect location, very friendly and attentive stuff, architecture embedded in the jungle.

It’s a pity we did not book more nights in this accommodation. We travelled through Guatemala and this was kind of a break from our tight schedule and we couldn’t be happier. The accommodation is amazing (the scenery made me forget the fact we had to share a bathroom with the other guests), and the whole staff is kind and nice. Definitely a recommendation and, if I ever go back to Guatemala, I will definitely book a (longer) stay here!

A small suggestion would be to offer more flexible complimentary boat schedules to better match guest arrival and departure times, as the current limited options can be inconvenient. Coordinating boats/lanchas based on guest schedules could improve convenience while still supporting Boatique’s eco-friendly mission. Additionally, increasing bathroom availability by adding more public bathrooms would enhance guest comfort—especially those booked in dormitory rooms.

Boatique Hotel was an unforgettable highlight of our family trip to Guatemala — a perfect blend of natural beauty, striking architecture, and a strong commitment to sustainability. From the moment we arrived by boat, the ambiance felt both magical and meaningful. The resort’s eco-conscious approach, including efforts to reduce waste and emissions, stood out, as did its support for local communities by employing Guatemalan staff—uplifting nearby villages. The food was another highlight: everything was made from fresh, local ingredients, with a clear emphasis on natural, sustainable sourcing. This gave our stay a deeper sense of purpose and connection. What truly made our experience exceptional, however, were two standout team members: Sheni and Silvia. Both managed multiple roles with grace and dedication, ensuring every part of our stay felt personal and memorable. Sheni’s warmth and attentiveness were constant throughout our visit, while Silvia impressed us with her professionalism as both a host and massage therapist. Their efforts, along with the entire hardworking team, left a lasting impression — making Boatique not just a place to stay, but a place we’ll always remember. We left refreshed and full of gratitude, already looking forward to returning.

Feels like paradise

There was a big group so they were a little noisy and required attending so our service and timing of our food was slow.

Such a relaxing and beautiful place! The facilities, bathrooms, pool, are all so tranquil.

The hotel is amazing, the staff was really nice, they helped us organize a tour to Livinsgton. It is located outside of the town, so it is really calm, with only the noise of the howler monkeys to disturb you.

There was a lot of construction, starting early in the morning.

The location was amazing. The staff was really friendly, special thanks to Freddy and Andrea for making our stay very pleasant

I found some of the prices of certain things to be a little crazy for Guatemala…for example the kayak hire. The food was a little expensive for what it was so isn’t suitable for folks travelling on a budget. It also took a long time to be prepared. The boat to Lívingston offered was incredibly overpriced in my opinion at 200 per person?!

Really awesome, friendly staff and a fantastic project supporting local people. The property is super peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by incredible nature and animals. Kayaking is available.

There are less trees around than in other hostels further in the river, so it's hotter...

Nice swimming pool, excellent restaurant

We thought it unfortunate that only 6 boats a day are free. It would be better if for check-in and check-out one boat ride (only 5 min anyways) would be free…

It was beautiful and very relaxing. We loved it here, it is a real oasis to relax. I even got a massage for a fair price and loved it very much. Freddie, the bartender, was super fun too. We stayed in two different hotels in Rio Dulce and would recommend this one over the other ;) The food of the restaurant was fairly priced and delicious! Thank you for this great stay

There are only 3 showers and 3 toilets, most of the time this was fine but a couple of times we had to coordinate.

The location was great, and the cabanas were spacious, clean and felt like a little bit of jungle luxury. We loved the pool space, the exercise area and the hammocks. The restaurant area was lovely and we could choose whether we wanted a private dinner table or to eat and socialise on the communal table. Loved the food, other reviews said food was expensive but we found it in line with lots of other restaurants across Guatemala. Special shout out to: - Jessie for being such a wonderful host, translating when we needed and being such a warm presence in the hotel - Sheny for diligently checking all ingredients in my food as I am allergic to gluten - Fredy always served our meals with a huge smile and provided great service - Sylvia was so helpful in liaising with the owners to last minute add an extra night to our stay because our shuttle canceled due to protests Would really recommend staying here if you visit Rio dulce

Pool could be cleaned as it collects a lot of detritus from the surrounding trees and foliage.

Food was brilliant, staff were lovely and super helpful. Waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys outside your cabana was incredible.

Beautifully set up, lovely pool, very good food and the staff was amazing! They have a very good mission of helping the local community that they will happily explain everything about :) I stayed in one of the dorms but the whole experience felt like a 5 star hotel!!

Αn absolute gem, hidden in the heart of Guatemala’s jungle. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into an atmosphere that blends breathtaking natural beauty with genuine hospitality. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability is evident in every detail. Thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, it allows you to fully immerse yourself in nature without sacrificing comfort. The accommodations are spotless, cozy, and filled with unique charm that reflects the local culture. But what truly makes Boatique special is its people. The staff (who are from the local community) go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels at home. Their warmth, kindness, and dedication to exceptional service create an experience that’s both personal and unforgettable. Beyond just hospitality, Boatique is making a real difference. By hiring and supporting local staff, they not only provide meaningful employment but also enrich the guest experience with authentic cultural connections. Their commitment to responsible tourism ensures that every stay has a positive impact on the community. This isn’t just a place to visit, it’s a place to slow down, connect with nature, and feel like part of something bigger.

Nothing really Mosquitos ( to be expected on the water) bring bug spray

Beautiful and tranquil place to stay. Everywhere was spotless, the staff were all lovely. The food was delicious and lots of fresh healthy options. We took the all day boat tour from the hotel which made a great day out and a way to see the local area and took the kayaks out for a few hours. It really is a lovely spot and welcoming friendly staff, Jenny in particular was great . Wish we could have stayed longer.
