The view is amazing, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is unbeatable. I cannot say enough good things about zephyr lodge; it is clean, bed's comfortable, is a great place to meet people and party, has an amazing view that cannot be understood through photos, and the staff is awesome. There are organized events such as tubing down the river... More

The location is absolutely breath taking and the hostel itself is very beautiful. There were three of us who stayed in a 3 bed private which had gorgeous views and a piping hot shower (welcome after months of lukewarm or cold showers!). There's a great bar/restaurant area with beautiful views and there's a nice social vibe. I can agree with... More

Possibly the most disappointing hostel I've stayed at. The staff seem to have been trained by Goldman Sachs in how to try to screw you for every penny. Everything is overpriced. They are constantly trying to sell or upsell. They will not allow you to pay in cash as they want you to run up a tab and hope that... More

I really enjoyed my stay here, its a beautiful hostel, incredible views. The only bad thing is that you cant make bookings online so you need to arrive there and see if there is space to sleep. Lanquin is a great place to stay for at least two nights to visit the amazing Semuc Champey National Park (don't miss it)

I would agree 100% with Rogerinho. It´s a beautiful hostel....with incredible views which makes it kinda worth it...BUT the aim of the game is for you to spend as much money as you possibly can. There is an awesome, cheap comedor literally 2minutes from Zephyr lodge...but if they can they won´t let you ever see it...´nothing in town´- ´dangerous´óoh its... More

Zephyr is an awesome hostel - an amazing building in a superb location. The food is great and I would definitely recommend staying here... But! It is making money hand over fist, and you should be wary of this. Drinks are reasonable during happy hour, but then extortionate after 8pm once everyone's had a few. A large beer is 5x... More

This place was definately the highlight of my trip and the place I stayed in the longest (mostly because of the 4th night free and happy day on day 5...genius!!) I stayed in a 6 bed dorm which was clean and spacious! All the staff are lovely and always up for a laugh! I went tubing down the river twice... More

Being a vegetarian and a light sleeper sometimes makes travelling difficult but Zephyr was perfect... comfy beds and a wide range of food and drinks to suit anyone. The staff are warm and friendly even when a ten people ask them for everything at once and the dogs (Noah and Rafa) floating round add a homely feel to the place..make... More

We stayed here for 5 nights! If you have the possibility to go to Lanquin, stay here! Really good beds, which is a big plus, good food and nice staff! You can do tours with them which are very nice! The location of Zephyr is beautiful, especially the view from the showers! Besides this there are always people enough to... More

The location of zephyr is spectacular and semuc champey is pretty special. There is always a full crowd here and it would be a good place to party if that's what you are looking for. But you get the feeling it's set up to make money and it could be run better. I would reccomend staying here for the party... More
