Property Description

A 30 minute hike down an ancient Mayan pathway leads to our beautiful and secluded little piece of paradise. At Ch'i Bocol Community Hostel we have a full service restaurant and bar, a nice common area with several hammocks and other comfortable seats, and amazing company. We pride ourselves in making you feel at home, no matter where you are from and how far you have traveled to get here.

All of our accommodations are private or shared cabins which are spread across a 2 acre piece of land. They are quite spacious and comfortable, with several windows to let the cool breeze in. Our dorms include lockers for all of your valuables, and all cabins include power outlets to charge your electronics.

Ch'i Bocol Community Hostel is located deep in the heart of the Guatemalan jungle, with a creek on one side of the property, and the beautiful Cahabon River on another. Only a few minute walk from our cabins is a natural swimming pool on the edge of a beautiful waterfall.

Christopher the volunteer was amazing, he really made the experience what it was. I asked in advance for somebody to help carry my bag but the guide did not offer. No electricity is common, which we didnâ€™t mind for one of the nights as Christopher set up candles and made a fire. We bathed in the natural pool. The hike is not easy, lots of uphill and steps to climb. They charge for the shuttle/guide from Lanquin, 50 round trip, not free as advertised. Needs new mattresses and interior for rooms.

The place is located in the middle of the jungle but you can reach semouch champey with one hour hike. The place is amazing if you want to be 100% in contact with nature. The food that they propose is good, healthy and not expensive. But if you want save some money donâ€™t forget to bring your own groceries because is complicated to reach the city. The vibes of the place are incredibly positive and the staff is very helpful with guests!!!

Nobody told me that I needed to take (at night and) in the rain a 30 minutes hike (not an easy hike) and that I needed to pay 40 QT if I need help with my bags. They wrote me this information 2 hours before arriving and I didnâ€™t even had internet to read it. Besides that the only had electricity in the comon areas and told me after arriving all wet. When I told the manger he didnâ€™t react good. Actually a quite and nice place because itâ€™s in the middle of nowhere.
