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!
3-night trip

10/10

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

Nice place with nice employees. The dorms weren’t the cleanest and the shower broke. It would clog up nearly enough to spill out of the shower.

Excellent Hotel!

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.

This place is close to a lot of things. The only thing is that the pool is dirty and it’s loud at night. It’s close to the main road, so you’ll heard all the neighbor dogs barking at night. 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.

Unique accommodation with the 'teepee' but there was a smell and was not clean especially the bathrooms for the teepee. The staff seemed to be inconvenienced when asked a question. Never gpt back to me on the services and tours they "offered."

It was magnificent, safe, calm, just simply awesome experience. It was my first time in a hostel and this experience was great! The people were amazing: Abner, Bartel, and Lisbeth were so wonderful. Panajachel and Guatemala in general will always be in my heart. Thank you for being so fabulous! I can't wait to come back...

We booked 2 nights at this property ,but we didn't stayed even 30 minutes,because of bad smell. We booked another hotel for the same 2 nights. When I returned the key the next day the person at the front desk told was the sewer and she offered a bottle of something to mitigate the smell .

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.

8/10

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 front desk staff was not welcoming. Overall there is lot of noise late into night. However, the hotel is decent.

Overall, good experience; cold nights, we needed extra blankets. Saturday night was noisy because people was all over the hotel drinking, talking loud and partying. Shared bathroom was not clean regularly ( trash cans over flowing).

They charged me twice for a room that they had not put it online. I would not come back again and I do not recommend this hotel to anybody.

Room had black spots all over the walls, looked like there was mold everywhere. Shower would not drain. Plywood was used as the headboard. Towels were not ready upon checkin. Will not be staying here again

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.
