A bathroom closer to the room “pearl”. And maybe better sound proofing. Heard every little noise from neighbour beside .

Loved the place, the kitchen is incredible , the space was clean , super comfy beds , a beautiful exotic friendly feel and great staff!!

Jonathan was a very helpful host and helped with anything we needed. We loved having our own garden and living room to chill in.

Beds were firmer than we were used to. Dogs barking loudly in the night (nothing that staff can do about that)

Chill jungle vibe, good location, Johnathan offered many classes for enrichment

The house is simple, but it has everything you need. The avocados that fall on the roof of the house and make a lot of noise were a bit annoying.

We had the whole house and a private area to ourselves. The best thing about this accommodation is the host Jonathan, the classes that are offered and the community. Besides classical yoga classes, there were many unique movement, dance and acrobatic classes that we really enjoyed.

We messaged the host separately with recommendations.

Jonathan and the vibes. Jonathan gave great recommendations and our stay wouldn’t have been the same without him. He knows the town inside and out and has excellent recommendations.

It was hard to find when I arrived at night. If the name of the accommodation was at the door, I would have seen it easier. But as I mentioned, it was in a great location. I wanted to stay a little bit after check out to see a bit more of San Marcos but they don't have a storage for guests' luggage and also they don't have a reception so I just left Lake Atitlan early than I would have wanted.

Very well organized kitchen space for everyone staying. Filtered water, toilet paper, towel, clothes hangers, and piece of apple are appreciated! The place is well maintained and cleaned everyday. Location is in a great location — walking distance to everywhere and is in a quiet street.

The cleaning or at least emptying of the bins especially in the bathroom needs to be more regular.

The location could not better just a few minutes walk from the main street and less than a minutes walk to the shore and perfect clean swimming spot. The hosts were super friendly, warm and welcoming, you really feel the community spirit but all very respectful and calm. We loved the cosy but fresh rooms, lovely deco and extra homely touches

This is a hidden gem, beautiful room, great community vibes, I felt so welcomed and included as soon as I arrived. There are a great range of fitness classes on once or twice a day that you can join, and as a resident, you get a huge discount. I had my own room, very comfortable, little welcome gestures of fruit, water were great. Overall I would highly recommend staying here, the location is perfect, just off the main street, but it's peaceful at night, you can join in with as much or as little.as you like, great kitchen, relaxing hammocks to chill in and only a few steps away from the beautiful lake. All staff were friendly, helpful, and on hand if you needed anything at all. Thank you all, I will be back to visit x

The whole of San Marcos is very nature friendly, which is beautiful, though fair warning there can be spiders and other bugs about

Owner is super friendly and helpful, feels like a wonderful community and they have a space in which they hold events every day (kick boxing, acro yoga) as well as a wonderful tezmacal, and have pancakes with the staff once a week. Had a private hut which was comfy.

The one thing that got me was the mosquitoes that were in my room but bug spray solves that

It was a lovely space very rustic but great for the price and the host was extremely friendly and lovely Highly recommend if you are looking for a cheaper option than a hotel but your own room It was perfect for me I even extended my stay as I loved san Marcos so much I will be back and I will stay at the unicorn reborn again!

Beautiful nature and caring vibes from the team.

The hygiene could be better, although the sweet house keeping is very lovely and working the best she can. It is mostly the other people in the cabins who are not always taking care of keeping things clean. The pots and pans in the kitchen and the cuttery needs improvement, it is all very old and not good anymore. When I left Jonathan was taking care of some things in the kitchen so I am sure things will improve. Advice would be to keep an eye on the little things that keep laying around which makes things messy.

Beautiful place near to the lake and close to hippie highway, with a nice private garden and not to many people at the location so this makes it feel pretty quiet. Jonathan took some feedback really serious and is working on making everything close to perfect. Don't expect luxery, Unicorn Reborn has a relaxed vibe and perfect for when you are happy with all the basics you need. I was really happy to have a private room, which for me was big enough for a 3 weeks.

- Jonathan the owner was disrespectful and defensive - Stained towels (photo) - Stained walls (photo) - Broken items in the room (photo) - Inaccurate description of the room and amenities (photo) - Not so clean bathrooms >> Back story. This place was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. When I looked at the room description it says “this double’s room standout is the sauna”. Also says “garden views”. When I got there, I was surprised to first see that there wasn’t a sauna for the room, but one sauna for everyone and they told me they only run it on Tuesdays. That information wasn’t in the description. I also thought the room looked way darker than the photos. The whole property really liked way better in the photos, all photos are highly edited. The manager was doing the check in. I told her about my concern that the room wasn’t what I had booked. She also asked me to send them the photo of the saying the room had a sauna, so I did. The owner came in. I heard them talk. They called me in. Immediately I could tell he was annoyed and not authentic. I tried to explain the sauna situation but he cut me and told me that I did not have to pull my phone and we could just talk directly, in a pretty aggressive tone. I felt unsafe. My eyes started to tear up. I told them I was feeling unsafe and uncomfortable. I told them I was exhausted by 24h of traveling and did not want to feel welcomed that way by my host. He said he was having roof issues and that’s why he was upset. I told him the roof issues weren’t my fault and I wasn’t here to be his punching ball. He said to me that the fact I was tired from traveling wasn’t his fault. I find this to be really wrong coming from a hospitality owner. You’re supposed to take care of your clients, not blame them and gash light them. He said that the sauna description thing was Booking.com’s fault and he could not change it.

- Taina the manager was really sweet, available and understanding. - Location. It’s in the center and close to everything.

Though no fault of the guesthouse, dogs in San Marcos bark all night long. The bed is very comfortable, so sleep quality is good if you wear ear plugs, use a fan, or use a white noise app.

The Aguacate Bungalow felt like home after just a few days. This fabulous place, nestled in the heart of San Marcos, is a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. In addition to a fully equipped kitchen, there is a nice, private outdoor space. The bed is very comfortable, and the space is cozy.

Very comfortable, welcoming and centrally located property. There are classes available at additional cost. Very much enjoyed the ice baths offered !

Very very basic. No new or clean bedsheets. The toilets and shower very far from the room. Dirty and untidy but so overpriced for what it was. The pictures did not give the right idea of the situation.

The property is way over priced for what it is. I don’t think there is anything worth the price apart from The location. The toilets were always dirty and my room was cleaned one day out of the two days I stayed there. The bedsheets were not changed before I arrived judging from the smell. The shower closest to my cabana was cold water and no light was there. When mentioned to the owner, he claimed that he didn’t know that was the case. I went back home with my legs full of bed bites.

We recently stayed at casa limon, and while I appreciated the privacy it offered, my experience was marred by numerous issues that made it far from enjoyable. First off, the noise level was surprisingly disruptive. What should have been a quiet retreat turned into a cacophony that made it difficult to relax. The condition of the property was alarming. Termite dust and signs of infestation were everywhere, which not only raised concerns about hygiene but also made the entire place feel neglected. Honestly, the house is in such disrepair that it should be condemned and torn down. See photo for just one example of termite dust. The shower was another significant letdown. The owner attributed the lack of hot water and pressure to the town's infrastructure, but we discovered that even the cheapest hospital nearby had great water pressure and hot water. My friend didn’t shower during our entire stay because the water was tepid at best, and the pressure was practically nonexistent. Additionally, the steep stairs leading up to the accommodations were hazardous without a handrail. This poses a serious risk, especially for anyone with mobility issues. While the owner tried to project friendliness, it felt insincere. He prioritized a spiritual ceremony over checking us in, which felt disrespectful given the amount of money we had paid. Furthermore, he constantly pushed for a five-star review, explaining why he believed he deserved it, despite the glaring issues with the property. Lastly, the photos online are a misleading representation of the house. They appear to be heavily edited, as the reality was far less appealing and much more rundown than depicted. The windows can't open and there is no airflow in the whole house. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this property. It needs significant renovations and better management. I suggest looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable and honest experience.

Location was great, staff was welcoming, & they do a wonderful job creating a sense of community within the space. There are a variety of classes and workshops with the associated collective and they cater to all skill levels. Many places to hang out and relax as well. The rooms were comfortable and great for value.

My stay in San Marcos was absolutely fantastic! Jonathan, the host, truly went above and beyond to make the experience even more enjoyable. His attentiveness and warm personality added a personal touch that made all the difference. The location of the accommodation is ideal—perfectly situated in the best part of town, making it easy to explore everything San Marcos has to offer. The place itself was comfortable, well-maintained, and exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend staying here, and I’d definitely come back!

I loved the staff and community vibes as well as my adorable room that had a comfortable bed and my personal water jug and dispenser. I slept great and it was quiet at night. The shared facilities were kept clean and well organized. I also enjoyed all of the classes I attended.
