What really set this place apart was the incredible staff, especially Luke. They made me feel like part of a family and organized fun social events every evening. It was a great way to meet other guests. Lonely Planet was right to recommend this place, I would definitely stay again!

    The hostel is located on the main street and is only a short walk away from both boat launches. You can easily explore the town and enjoy the convenience of the central location. The staff are friendly and engaging, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The beds are clean and comfortable, and lockers are provided for your belongings. Additionally, the hostel offers delicious dinners each night, adding to the overall positive experience.

    The walls are thin, allowing noise from guests coming and going, as well as conversations in the hallway, to be easily heard.

    The owners were incredibly welcoming and created a fun atmosphere. The hostel design encouraged interaction with other guests, leading to lasting friendships. The staff were friendly and the social atmosphere was great. Despite being a party hostel, the bar shut down at 10pm, ensuring a good night's sleep. The showers were excellent with plenty of hot water. The location was perfect, close to the lake, restaurants, and shops. The hostel also had a kitchen for guest use and the staff provided helpful tips on what to see and do. it was a fantastic, value-for-money experience that I highly recommend.

    Would recommend this hostel.

    During my recent stay at Dreamboat, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The dorm rooms were clean and spacious, and the bathrooms were well-maintained. The terrace above the bar provided a cozy spot to relax and enjoy the view. The location was convenient, with easy access to bus routes and the public boat pier. Additionally, the hostel was just a short walk away from restaurants and the market street, making it a great value for the price. I had a pleasant experience at Dreamboat and would recommend it as a stopover on the way to other destinations in the region.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hostel in Panajachel. The location is great, right on the main road, yet the rooms are set back, making it surprisingly quiet. The cleanliness throughout the hostel is impeccable, and it's understandable as the hostel is only 3 months old with everything in perfect working order. Safety was not a concern with lockers in the rooms and a locked front door. The staff are lovely and made us feel welcome, and we enjoyed the communal dinner and fun games. The owners and staff went above and beyond to ensure our basic necessities were provided for and made us feel like part of the group. this hostel offers a vibrant atmosphere and lots of group activities to make new friends and create amazing memories.

    Nothing bad to say.

    I recently stayed at Dreamboat Hostel for 5 nights while traveling solo. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inclusive environment. They organized group dinners, introduced fellow travelers, and even arranged fun drinking games. The location was perfect, with easy access to boats for exploring other villages and plenty of nearby food options. The dorm room was clean and had lockers, and the common area had a great atmosphere and decor. a fantastic hostel with lovely owners who truly cared about their guests' experience.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.
