Great location, it is only 2 mins away from Semuc Champey National Park Entrance and opposite to the cave. But be aware that there is no wifi, no hot water provided in the hostel. Electricity is limited from 12 noon to 1pm and 7pm to 11pm. The rest of time is lack of electricity. Food options are also limited. No restaurant is nearby. The redtaurant in the hostel is the only choice uou have in that area. The environment itself is excellent and surrounded by the jungle and river view underneath. If you like nature and wold life, it is a place for you!

Can’t complain it was good for the days I needed it and the close proximity to Sumec

Excelente servicio, el personal es muy atento

Good attitude of employees

La disponibilidad de energia electrica es limitada

In very close proximity to park/river.

Beautiful hostel in the middle of the forest

This hostel is rustic and located right at the entrance to the state park. The staff was very friendly. You're only choice for food is the restaurant hotel.

Buenas las instalaciones, solo la comida deben mejorar en su preparación

If you want to have a local experience and get to know the local indigenous people, I highly recommend El Portal. It is owned and run by people from the local community. It is right next to the river, the caves and the pools of Semuc Champey. So from your room you can just walk down the river and have a swim, while chatting with locals. All the staff are very friendly and are happy to help you with anything. Make sure to not confuse their silly humor with anything negative ;) We absolutely loved our experience here, after having seen other hostels in the area. Few things to take into consideration: 1. The restaurant is very nice. The food is not of the highest quality, but it is delicious and gets you through the day. 2. You are INSIDE the jungle. Don't be afraid of crawling things, you are in their territory. They dont hurt you. 3. The rooms can get quite hot. And there are no fans as the electricity is very limited (only available in the evenings). All in all, the price/ quality is just perfect. And I would love to come back! Go experience the local community, not the hippie backpacker hostels.

Si vas a las pozas es el mejor lugar para hospedarte

It is close to Semuc rivers and caves … wonderful

Amazing place in Guatemala.

Excelente servicio

Estancia cómoda

L’hébergement était correct mais poussiéreux de par son emplacement sous les toit. Pas pratique d’accès. On peut dire que ça a son charme mais sans électricité prévoir une lampe torche pour monter l’échelle le soir. Le lieu est sympas. Le personnel très sympathique. Pas d’eau chaude. Électricité de 18h à 22h.

Tres bien situé, chambre sympathique type petit bungalow avec terrasse. Restaurant bien avec happy hour pour de bonnes soirées.

Uno de los mejores lugares donde me he hospedado.todo es hermoso 💜 la atención es incredible por parte de el equipo de el Hotel Portal. Muchas gracias por todo 💜

Tres belle endroit vue magnifique! Ideal pour visiter la grotte et le parc de semuc champey tout se fait a pied. Attention a prevoir assez de quetzal pour payer la facture a la fin de votre sejour pour payer la nourriture et les boissons, ils ne prennent pas la carte.
