The hype
Travelers love the stunning jungle setting and pool parties, but often complain about the noise and slow food service.
Greengos Hotel
$45-80 for privates, $14-20 for dorms / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want a vibrant, social jungle playground that's a 10-minute walk from Semuc Champey's pools.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Unbeatable location just 486 meters from the park entrance
- Two pools (one with a swim-up bar) that create a massive social scene
- Mediterranean-inspired menu that's a cut above typical hostel grub
Tóm tắt nhanh: It's a loud, colorful party compound in the middle of the jungle where you trade sleep for social vibes and proximity to the falls.
Được đánh giá bởi @nowhere.particular: I honestly didn't expect to find such a vibrant community this deep in the jungle. The Middle Eastern food was a total shock (in a good way!), and I met so many people by the pool. If you're solo and want friends, you have to stay here.

Vệ sinh & Bảo dưỡng
6.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is performed, but the jungle environment means dust and bugs return quickly.
- Bathroom hygiene: Public bathrooms are generally kept clean; shared showers can get sandy and muddy by evening.
- Maintenance: Ongoing construction suggests improvements, but expect some peeling paint and worn fixtures in older cabins.
- Linens & towels: Basic hostel quality; sheets are clean but thin. Towels may require a rental fee or deposit.
- Odors & scents: Damp jungle smell is pervasive; rooms can smell musty if not aired out.

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is there AC in the rooms?
No, just fans. It gets humid, so prepare for a sticky night.
Can I walk to Semuc Champey?
Yes! It's a 10-minute walk (486 meters) to the entrance, saving you the pickup truck ride from Lanquín.
Is the water safe to drink?
No, do not drink tap water. You must buy bottled water or pay for refills.
How is the food?
Surprisingly good Mediterranean/Israeli options (Falafel, Shakshuka), but service is slow and prices are high for Guatemala ($8-12/meal).
Is it pet friendly?
Policies are inconsistent online; some sources say 'on request' while others say 'strictly prohibited'. Call ahead to be safe.
Is there cell service?
Virtually none. Rely on the hotel's Starlink WiFi, which works best in the common areas.
Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
The 'Sabich Sandwich' has a mixed reputation—maybe stick to the Falafel or Schnitzel.
- ✨
Happy hour often includes 2-for-1 cocktails; listen for the bell or announcement.
- ✨
You can book your shuttle to Flores or Antigua directly at reception, often for the same price as in town.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'Jacuzzi' is actually an unheated small pool, not a hot tub.
💡You can't check your running tab easily, so take photos of your receipts to avoid checkout surprises.
💡The walk to the rooms involves steep, uneven stairs that get slippery when wet.
💡Termites and ants are common roommates, even in 'clean' rooms—it's the jungle.
💡The 'river tubing' tour ends right at the hotel, so you can float back to your room.
