Come help in our lakeside lodge at Lake Atitlán in Guatemala

The hotel quickly became a home away from home. The location is absolutely beautiful and the work is very fair, leaving a lot of time for yoga, reading, swimming, hiking, paddle boarding, and exploring the lake. The volunteer room is cozy and has a lot of space to settle in. The food is healthy and fresh and 2 meals are provided on days that you work. There is a 2 month commitment, but the time truly flew by and I couldn't believe it was already time to leave. I had such a chilled and relaxing time at the lodge and I cant wait to return!

The hotel was everything I could have hoped for in a Workaway experience and more - my favorite spot around the lake. The accommodation was great, with a beautiful view of the surroundings (and the unreal sunrises). The work was well-organized, and what truly made my time special were all the people who made every moment enjoyable :) I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something truly unique!

The hotel was my first world packers experience and it was truly one of the most magical times of my life. Working here I got to meet people that lived on the lake which made it easier to connect and form friends in the area. The work was simple and fun and the location made it easy to do stuff in the near by towns. I highly recommend volunteering here. My time at the hotel will never be forgotten and I am positive that I will be back here one day.

The work is very easy, the food is delicious, everyone was super nice, it can be very relaxing to just swim, read, and tan on the deck. There is a 2 month minimum to be here. This is a very touristy place which I wasn't a fan of. You speak to the women cooking in Spanish but with everyone else it's in English. I had to leave early due to family reasons at home. My experience was just OK but you could absolutely love it like the other girls that were volunteering. This could be a hit or miss based on who you are and what you like.

Kaliah showed little interest and left early, citing family issues—then traveled to Antigua. Her abrupt exit disrupted our team after we invested time training her. Her review was inaccurate. Maya Moon is tourist-focused but offers authentic hospitality and community. She made little effort to engage. Our team speaks Spanish and hosts Spanish speakers.

The hotel was an absolute dream!! If you are looking for a place to volunteer that is serene, beautiful, full of nature and life, where the work is fair and enjoyable, you are secluded in nature but still close to tons of events and social opportunities, and the people are incredible-- the hotel is definitely the place for you. Fee is such a kind soul and the other volunteers made the experience so memorable. This is by far one of the best volunteering experiences I've had, I would LOVE to come back one day. Nothing beats sun-bathing and swimming on the dock :) Thank you so much for everything

The hotel was the most incredible volunteer experience I've had so far! Everything was perfect. Volunteer accommodation was the best, there's plenty of room to settle in and make the space your own. Fe and Chris are such helpful, attentive and kind people. The work is extremely straightforward and the hours are always clear and respected. The food was also wonderful and it was great to get to know the kitchen staff! I absolutely cannot wait to go back and spend more time at this amazing hidden gem! Anyone who volunteers here will have a great time. I miss it so much already!

The hotel - what a place! I loved my time at the hotel and settled in very well. Situated right on the lake perfect for swimming and exploring local villages. Fe and Chris are both great and provide you with eveything you need. Fe arranges transport from the airport and provides docs to read before arriving. The work is fair and straight forward reception/bar work. Food from the restaurant is very good and accommodation good too. I would deifnitely recommend this volunteer opp.

The hotel has become a home away from home. This was my first world packers adventure and I can confidently say that it has given me the confidence to continue traveling for the months to come. The owners, Fe and Chris, feel like family now. They are so kind, accommodating, respectful, and fun! The work load is exactly what is sent in the pdf, so everything is put upfront and is held up. I truly cannot wait to come back to the hotel in the future to bring my friends and family. I would've stayed much longer if i could have. I can not recommend this place more!!!

My expierence at the hotel was wonderful. It was exactly what i needed, i got to connect with nature, jumping to the lake everyday, becoming super close with the other volunteers and also getting to know local people that work at the hotel. Kate, Fe and Chris are super nice. And also the rooms are really comfortable, each volunteer has their own privacy. Will miss it!
