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."

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.

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 .

Property could use some upgrades but overall it is in good condition. They should upgrade all pool furniture & keep pool area cleaner, plus play better tunes. The staff is very friendly… they do play the same playlist over and over again by the pool and that’s quite annoying. Music is loud & on by 9am. The room was kept clean by staff, and I had some good roommates. I stayed with 3 other girls. The food is very GOOD! There’s also free food in the communal kitchen left by other guests. No one touched my food in the fridge & they hold your bags in a locked room plus they set up transportation back to Antigua / Guatemala City, which was also great. I left my passport ID behind at the bar & they sent it to their Antigua location the next day. A lot of stray dogs, plus a resident dog, they keep mostly to themselves. Location is perfect… close to a lot of walkable bars, restaurants & clubs. I walked around pretty late (alone) and felt safe. It gets chilly at night, bring a jacket. Overall I would stay here again. I’m looking forward to trying other Selina locations.

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.

Great location, great facilities. Checking in the service is terrible stressed staff that make you feel like you‘re an inconvenience to them and much stuffier service than than checking into a 5 star hotel 😂 But I guess we all have bad days it’s a great place to spend a night before an early transfer to the city but just don’t expect much help from the staff. Also avoid the wooden huts… any slight wind and the noise from the metal roofs banging about are gonna make you think you’re sleeping in a washing machine 😂 But overall decent enough place & good warm showers and a decent pool.

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).

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.

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!, the "cabin" pictures are not even from the property, this was even aknowledged by the hotel manager. The pictures show a completely different cabin much bigger, with AC, with bathroom in a place with a lot of vegetation. NOT EVEN CLOSE, there is no AC, there is no bathroom, instead they have shared bathrooms in a separate location that were cleaned only once per day. Toilets dirty, trash cans always full. Open complaint with Expedia and the hotel doesn't even respond to them. I sent pictures to Expedia showing side by side what is being advertised and reality. After many hours on the phone I was told I would get refund for only one of the cabins that I booked. (I had booked two), I hope I get at least that refund.
