This is truly a great place to escape to for a weekend of fantastic organic, locally produced food, great views and relaxation. For me the restaurant was the best part- it has some of the best bacon in Guatemala and amazing locally farmed meats. Every night they have a great family-style dinner in the lodge and they have some fantastic... More

Nestled on the side of a mountain above Antigua this place is friendly and dripping with character. The accommodation is rustic with outside toilets. Food is of the homemade back to nature type.

I spent 5 nights here at 6100 feet. It's a place where you can have an afternoon nap and blame it on the altitude! The vegetarian food served every evening is fantastic. You won't even miss meat, but if you do, have the local sausages for lunch or stay on a Saturday night when there is chicken on the barbecue.... More

This seems to be a place for locals (especially the 20 something crowd) to get out of the city and enjoy a night or two in the hills. That we can appreciate. Nice view and a decent dinner but aside from that, not much else to compliment. We received a luke-warm greeting upon arrival and really only one of the... More

Earth Lodge is situated at elevation outside the lovely city of Antigua and has stunning views over the surrounding hills and volcanos and is worth a visit just for the views alone. Good food is available in the bar, but there are no faciliies to prepare or store your own food. I stayed there recently and at 9.45pm all guests... More

Thank you for your review, I would like to respond to what you have written. Earth Lodge receives many guests each day, some on a budget and some not. We are always open and receptive to those on a budget, which is why our dorm is at a much lower price than our private rooms. We have always received many... More

I have had the pleasure of staying at Earth Lodge countless times since moving to Guatemala in 2009. I've taught many weekend yoga retreats there, too. You must go! For travelers and Guatemalans, and expats living in Guatemala alike, Earth Lodge offers yummy food, plenty of hammocks and other spaces for lounging, interesting people and amazing views of the sky...

I've stayed for multiple nights at Earth Lodge three times now and will always include it whenever visiting Antigua, Guatemala. The view of 3 volcanos beyond the avocado orchard - one volcano still actively sending ashen clouds into the sky - will refresh you each day from a sunrise awakening to a sunset refuge. This mountainside ecolodge includes several basic... More

After checking in I was pointed in the vague direction of the dorm with a disinterested grunt from the guy behind reception. Other people staying there at the time said they had experienced the same rudeness as well. You are made to feel like you are intruding on the staffs' own personal holiday for the duration of your stay. The... More

There isn't a single thing I didn't love about Earth Lodge - the food, the people, the view, the hammocks, the dogs... it was a total paradise for me after my volunteer stint in Guatemala. I was worried that it would be a bit... "rustic" for my taste, but it really blew me away. The lodges/houses are built so well,... More
