Mundo Abu San Juan La laguna

Amazing option for San Juan which is by far the best town on the lake. The hosts are fantastic and super helpful and the room was lovely

The only ‘bad’ thing is that you can’t swim directly from the hotel due to seaweed but that’s nature for you and nothing that the hotel can change

Beautiful location, secluded with a great view of Lake Atitlan. Tons of activities and the property is well maintained.

No issues.

I had a wonderful 2-night stay at Mundo Abu. The place is absolutely magical — waking up to the views of the Mayan Face, enjoying the lake at sunrise, and even experiencing the full moon over Atitlán made the stay unforgettable. I also loved the sauna experience and the peaceful atmosphere throughout the property. The location is perfect: walking distance to downtown San Juan La Laguna and the boat embarcadero, making it super convenient while still feeling relaxing and quiet. A special thank you to Carlos and the rest of the staff for being so warm, welcoming, and attentive during my stay. Their hospitality truly made the experience even more special. Highly recommend Mundo Abu if you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and authentic Lake Atitlán experience

It’s very quiet, which can be an issue with hostels. The owner was very welcoming and took the time to show me around and there is the option to pay for eggs, coffee etc there too.

I would say it isn’t quite as clean as I’d have liked, it’s difficult as the majority of it is outside, but it felt like some of the kitchen utensils etc were a bit dirty. It was also quite isolated from the main town as a solo traveller. I’m sure it’s much better in the peak season when there are other people there to converse with. It was also a bit more expensive than other hostels in the town.
