There is think in Guatemala in general and in all commercial stores, restaurants, groceries stores and tours that everything need to be pay on cash, if you don't have, they charge you an extra of 8% and in other places 5%, that was kind annoying because you don't plan your vacation having every penny on cash. that was really annoying looking for cash, also there is only one place for exchange. so, make sure or get the cash you will need otherwise you will not be able to buy a bottle of water. Shared showers don't have shelf at least people can put they belongings, and not in the floor where everything gets wet.

The location and Hostel vibes were in general excellent for the price.

I had a great time at Macarena Hostel! Edwin took excellent care of me and helped arrange everything from taxis to tours. Breakfast is included and the room I stayed in was very comfortable. I have no complaints!

beds having a small fan would be Nice.

Tiny gripe is that breakfast didn't include coffee despite being attached to a coffee shop. Minor thing in the context of the overall stay.

Lovely hostel. Staff incredibly helpful, with extra special shoutout to Edwin who answered each and every of my inane queries. I was the only one in the dorm and they were kind enough to turn on the A/C beyond the scheduled hours.

Although we were greatful for the air con in the room the staff were in control of turning it off so it stayed on all night making the room extremely cold- nice for coming back to during the day but tough during the night!

Good location, really nice clean hostel! Bathrooms and showers were kept clean and shower had good pressure! Our dorm room was clean and had lockers and air con. Nice breakfast included, and the option of packed lunches if going on early tours. The cafe attached was really cute too!

Food and drink are really not great.

It was good.

The guest kitchen is not super equipped and it’s really hot inside so not a real pleasure to cook there

Really nice stay, good communication with staff, really clean and super central

Rooms are hot!

Close to where the shuttles are.

Breakfast was bland and we only had cold water in shower. It was so hot in Flores though that we didn’t mind too much.

Location, spacious, and super comfortable. Staff were helpful too.

It would be great to have colder water in the refill station, however it is not a necessity.

Very bright and beautiful building, having a cafe built in is very helpful. The staff were very accommodating, and even with my little Spanish they were helpful in me getting my laundry done and holding my backpack while I waited to check in. There are a couple cats there named Mikaela and Juana who are adorable and one even climbed into my bed with me, it was a very welcome surprise since I missed my own cat at home. There is also A/C in the rooms, and a place to refill your waterbottle!

good kitchen, small breakfast included, very clean, nice staff, very nice location

Couch needs a replacement as is not comfy anymore. Not bad, but not to sit for a while. Tours fares are a little bit high comparing to other stays.

I felt in love with the kittens around. I like the vibe so chill and calm and is nice to have a coffee shop there.

AC in dorm was set in super low I was freezing.

Breakfast, location and comfy bed.

Stayed in April 2025

It’s super noisy, but nothing that good earplugs can’t fix.

The location was great. The beds were comfy, good aircon and nice coffee bar downstairs

Stayed in April 2025

The power to the entire island went out, which wasn't the hostel's fault. But, it meant that AC didn't work which wasn't ideal.

Great location, nice staff, good breakfast, and AC was critical.

Stayed in March 2025

The breakfast could be a little bit more, but was totally fine.

Edwin the guy at the reception was very kind and always helpful when I had questions. I was also allowed to let my bags there, even if I didn't spend another night there. I was also allowed to take a shower in the afternoon, after the Tikal hike. The room was quiet with a good AC. Also the showers and toilets were clean. Many plants creates a relaxing vibe.

The communication seemed a bit off sometimes. Water was hot one morning, cold another. Unfortunately, i only got one day of hot shower. When i asked, they said there was a problem, but why they didnt tell us? They also moved me to another bed without telling me. The problem is that they got my stuff, which were on my bed, and moved to another one. I got super stressed when I arrived and didn't see my things, and also, I don't think they should move our stuff around without asking for permission.

The place is comfortable. I looooved the beds, I really needed to rest after the volcano hiking, and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast was great, and the area (inside and outside) was clean and beautiful.

Even with good windows and air conditioning, the party noise from the street below is very noisy . (2nd floor room) We were there on the weekend before Easter. Probably anywhere in the town would have the same issue.

Breakfast, outdoor patio available, air conditioning, hammock on deck

The location of the hostel is perfect, on the island, in a cute street, next to some groceries little shops opened late. The check in must be before 10pm but if your flight has delayed like mine there is some 24h/7 so they will still be able to proceed the check in. If you pay by cash it is less expensive. You access the bedrooms and bathrooms via an inner courtyard. The bathrooms are mixed and the shower doors do not have a lock. There are only 2 toilets downstairs so it happened I had queue... There is a potable water fountain in the courtyard. Next to the bed there is a little light and a plug which is great as well as curtains, and in the bedroom there are lockers to put your belongings (bring your lock). There are some books in the common area. And there is a coffee in the hostel where you will have your breakfast. The breakfast is ok but not really feeding (not much) just eggs, a little portion of fruit and 3-4 little slices of bread. The juice is amazing! Coffee is not included. What I really disliked is that they knew I was leaving at 6 am (I let them know by messages before my arrival to ask if it is ok at an early checkout) and no one told me I had to explicitly request a take away breakfast. The breakfast starts at 7 am so I just thought I could not have mine even if included. And when I left the guy asked me if I requested the breakfast last night to take away (he had two packages behind him): No. Because no one told me I could...

4 beds dorm was a bit tiny and lacks lockers but still felt safe. Also it would be amazing if they charge a bit more and breakfast includes coffee. Its a bit annoying to have to pay jt separetely. Other than that all good! :)

Stayed in April 2025

- it would have been good to have a locker for ur important stuff - shared kitchen was such a mess - breakfast was good but they didn't tell me that I have to make a reservation the night before until 6 o'clock for the takeaway lunch instead of the breakfast

Stayed in March 2025

Little loud at night on the weekends- not the hostel itself, just its location. Maybe don’t stay on the island of Flores if you want a quieter night.

Comfortable, good staff, decent location. Loved the hammock balcony!

Stayed in March 2025

In my opinion the chemicals/parfume/scent in the bathroom was too strong

Cool theme-everything orange Perfect location Friendly staff
