Wonderful

Absolutely loved this place. So so cute, clean, quiet and relaxing. The staff is so accommodating and sweet, they were always asking if they could get me anything. Food is SO GOOD. Best juices I have ever had in my life. The stairs around the property are killer but it’s worth it for the views, quality and price. Can’t wait to come back!
Charming place with amazing views of the lake. The garden around the property is a little eden. Room was somewhat tight, but clean & cozy. Would highly recommend it if you want to spend a few recharging days next to Lake Atitlan.
Everything was wonderful. The only thing was we had to leave early (6:30am) on the day we left and were told someone would come help us with our bags but no one came. Usually this would be okay but the stairs were too steep for us with our luggage to do on our own.
This hotel is an experience. If we come back to Atitlan, we will stay here again. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is limited food as everything is a boat ride away, but the food they served was good. We stayed over Thanksgiving and had their Thanksgiving dinner, which was fantastic. The hotel is quiet and secluded, but it is also easy to grab a boat to Pana or one of the other parts of the lake.

Beautiful hotel but food service takes to long, you can not pay with credit card only cash and only quetzales.
This is a bucket list hotel! The property and the views seen from the property are absolutely spectacular! Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The property's restaurant wasn't as good as expected, but it was still a solid restaurant.
This place is a must stay if you're staying in Lake Atitlan! The grounds are beautiful and the staff are lovely! My only advise of caution is that there are a lot of steep steps so just keep that in mind if you have mobility/accessibilty issues.

We loved the hike from the p property to Santa Cruz. also the steam room.
Beautifully terraced property with stunning views of the lake. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore to find a peaceful place to relax in the gardens. The staff was helpful, and the restaurant was good and offered enough variety for my 3 day stay.
Our experience at Hotel Café La Casa del Mundo was truly beautiful. The breathtaking views left us in awe, and the service was nothing short of excellent. The hotel’s perfect harmony with nature creates a serene and magical atmosphere that makes it unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and exceptional hospitality!
Love this property .. it’s relaxing , quiet , good food ..amazing view .. staff are great ..
but the stairs makes my sore legs and knees more esp after all hiking and volcano trekking !
I enjoyed the view from my room I love everything about this hotel Casa del Mundo we had a server name Diego he was the best, I’ll definitely go back to this hotel
This hotel is one of a kind and in the most special, beautiful and individually unique way. Anyone that comes to this boutique hotel will be glad they did. It’s like nothing. One could imagine but yet you have to see it for yourself.
I fell in love with this property. It has the most amazing views and hammocks at your disposal. There’s so many amenities to enjoy and the food at the restaurant was amazing. Very convenient and the staff was my favorite part. They were very sweet and super helpful.
I would have giving a 5star review all around because it was just so beautiful. But i just did not like the fact that i asked to reserve the hot tub an was told it was book, mind you i didnt have a problem that it was booked my problem was that i went to check around the area that day an no one was using the hot tube. I was really disappointed because most the staff in the dining area an the ones you encountered were very nice .
