We stayed at the elephant room which had a balcony that’s near the dry toilets, we really got the smell of everything going on there. We also felt that the amount of food received will not satisfy everyone.

It is a very unique place, the view is astonishing. The classes are very professional and unique, we loved it. The vibe in the hotel amazing.

We got the “all inclusive” deal but it’s nothing even close to what is considered all inclusive. They serve you three meals a day which are mostly vegetarian. Which is fine because it was delicious. However there was never enough protein in any of the dishes. If you’re staying there, you’re most likely doing all the yoga classes, so you’ll need even more protein. They sell food at their restaurant but it was very expensive and the menu was lacking. All inclusive means your meals and drinks are paid. This is not the case. They provide three meals a day and we always walked away still hungry. We were staying in a private room where the front of the door was muddy. When they walked us to the room, they laid down a lattice for more grip. The next day it was gone but the following day it continued to rain so we still needed it. It was strange for them to take remove it from our porch. The dogs- holy freakin cow. All day and night the dogs and roosters took turns sounding off. They gave us a pair of ear plugs but there were two people in our party. I asked for an extra pair but they said they “ran out.” My partner and I could not sleep for the nights we stayed because the animals were THAT LOUD and they never let up. I’ve never experienced anything like it. If you enjoy taking hot baths- I’d avoid this place. Although the views were beautiful, I wouldn’t recommend this place and I’d search for another yoga retreat.

Overpriced. Some construction happening

The views, the staff and the quality of the property. Excellent food also

Not a typical hostel with a different vibe. Maybe enough to visit for a day trip.

Special location with amazing view. Good courses. Free sauna. Food included.

They didn't let me check in until 3pm, even though you can enter the room by 1:30pm according to their rules, so that was annoying. The organic toilets weren't really my thing either, but for a few nights it's fine.

The view is really amazing! It's really worth spending a few nights there, even if you're not into yoga. The classes were suitable for beginners. The food was good, too, and they offered some evening activities which was nice.

Electric ordering system in the restaurant is very noisy

The beds in female dorm was uncomfortable The walk up when dark.

I loved the staff! The food The views They cleaned the room a lot and the compost toilets The classes offered within your stay!

Stayed in December 2023

The toilet was a bit far from the dorm room so if you have to go in the middle of night its a bit of a pain The 2 yoga sessions were spaced too close together. The first one should be earlier so you have time to have breakfast and digest it a bit before the 2nd yoga session

The views from the dorm rooms and yoga platform and chill out spaces were overlooking the lake and was absolutely gorgeous. The vegetarian food was delicious and lots of variety

More classes and choice of classes. Dorm rooms could be better value for money.

Amazing views and great for a few days to escape, do some yoga and be healthy.

I didn’t not like the fact that sometimes the toilets were not perfectly clean and I think it’s even more important when you have eco-toilets. Also the outside shower was super nice but was lacking water pressure you could only get hot water in the morning for some reason. All in all this is not too bad but it’s just that the price you pay is very expensive for not having a proper shower. But these are details really. It’s overall a really good place to stay and enjoy the hippie - Mayan vibes around the lake !

I loved the hippie atmosphere, the staff was just so sweet and the food. Not to mention the amazing breathtaking views on the lake all around the place even when in the bathroom !

On the way from the tuk tuk to the reception I got almost mugged by a local. I gave him money so he would let me go, but that little road became a real stress for me and I was scared each time I had to take it.

Stayed in August 2023

There were bugs in the room- giant ants.

Delicious food, great place to meet people, amazing views for yoga, events going on. It's easy to add on an extra day...

it’s a bit far from the Main Street; so if you’re coming with bags it’s a bit hard to get there… they don’t provide much help!

the great views!!!

For the price, there wasn’t anything you could argue was bad

I really liked the vibe here. If you’re looking for a yoga style retreat, you’ve come to the best place in Lake Atitlan.

Oh, the cleaning... I look like an addict - my arms and legs are full of scars. I came home with a lot of bites from some sort of insects (not mosquitos, apparently). My room was cleaned only once (same with the bed linen) and this happened because I asked for it. I stayed 19 days in total. To me, it was also overpriced. It is nice for a couple of days - because of its vibes - but more than this... I don‘t know.

Stunning view, light vibes, everybody very friendly and relaxed. Activities every day, community gatherings, music .... wonderful atmosphere! Wooden buildings, nature all around, nice personnel.

Ongoing noise from construction. No water pressure when showering. No blackout curtains so you will wake up with the first sun. Difficult to get there if you have heavy suitcases, you may want to pay for a porter.

The view was stunning. So stunning that the rest of this review may be irrelevant. They yoga instruction was very good and the staff were friendly.

The view here is amazing. The view from the showers are something special! The restaurant is so nice and it’s overall a good place to meet other travelers.

Stayed in March 2023

there are a lot of cats and I am alergic, but since it is all open spaces it was not that bad. I just didn‘t like it when they were trying to eat my meal out of my plate…

the view is great, the dorms nice and cosy, the food delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful

Further, though the food is good the service is very very slow! In addition the yoga times and food windows could be timed better and the one really challenging thing was that there is no coffee until 7.30/8am which is late given you wake up around 6ish by natural rooster alarm clocks. So as long as you are easy going it’s a great place and super nice people to connect with!

Booked the place to have some time away from home working in a nice place! The views are stunning, atmosphere is nice, rooms are as on the pictures and outdoor shower has breathtaking views. Vegetarian food portions are decent (lower on the protein side yet you do get eggs). A few notes - if you have a job where you are also on conference calls the set up is not great as there is no privacy. WiFi is ok - video might need to be off on zooms though.

The events at Eagle's Nest vary widely - not all will be for everyone so it's great to go in with an open mind knowing some may be wonderful and some may not be your thing.

The kitchen staff and the food was absolutely incredible. The yoga platform cannot be beat - truly a unique and epic place to practice or to simply take a look.

Stayed in January 2023

The yoga classes included in the package was of very low quality. Definetely should reconsider the adequacy of the yoga instructors, the variety of the offered classes and the time schedule. The water for shower was neither warm or with enough jet, but guess this is a problem of the whole area.

The location is amazing, enjoying a picturesque view from every point of the premises! Big clean bedrooms, with excellent comfy beds! Very good food, big enough portions and very friendly kitchen stuff. Sauna and the events included in the accomodation are a big plus, alongside with meeting people in the common areas, making the stay an overall very enjoyable experience, despite the rather expensive price.

The management lady was exceptionally rude to me one day when I talked to one of her staff about more details for an event. Quote: "Look it up on the website." I felt like I am one of her hires and she continued to snap at her staff. Maybe she had a bad day, in any case I was a customer, even in a hostel, that is not acceptable. The rooms, I stayed in a dorm and in a private room are basic. My dorm had scorpions, spiders and ants. While it was clear from the setting, I feel the management is not investing in fixing the rooms (for example sealing the doors, walls). The price at this point was around 80 dollar or more a night for a dorm which is not worth it, even because you can attends as a day guest. Also, when asked to use a community room for a event the management asked for a ridiculously high extra charge, even if we where the only guests at this time. In addition, I feel the timings for the food are ridiculous. Guests should receive vouchers and be able to eat (e.g. 2 meals during the dinner) if they miss the lunch.

The staff of this property, kitchen, reception and events was exceptionally friendly. Also, events organised, like the community day or movie night where amazing to meet new people. The view from the platform as well as the yoga classes where phenomenal. Also the photographer submitted nice fotos to us. The included food was very good quality and delivered with love from the kitchen staff.
