Casa Sundara- Amazing Lake Cottage - Houses for Rent in Panajachel, Sololá Department, Guatemala

Beautiful stay and remarkable views! I would definitely recommend and the host was very accommodating

The accommodation has one of the best views, and being there gives you a lot of peace. It is perfect for resting, finding tranquility and enjoying the view of the lake. You also have access to the lake, where you can swim with great ease. We loved this place and look forward to coming back soon.

El hospedaje tiene una de las mejores vistas y estar ahí si da muchísima paz. Es perfecto para poder descansar, encontrar tranquilidad su gozar la vista del lago, además que tiene el acceso al mismo u se puede nadar con gran facilidad. Nos encantó este lugar y esperamos volver pronto.

We had a wonderful time in the Apartment. We decided very short-term to go there and Daniela made the stay possible and answered all our short term questions. The Apartment was beautiful, clean and with a lot of space. The bed was super comfortable. Waking up with a view like that and drinking a coffee is unbeatable. We can totally recommend staying there for a few days.

It's a beautiful, quiet and private place to enjoy the lake. The entire description is 100% accurate. We would have loved to stay longer. It's a really cozy place. Waking up to that beautiful view is healing. We would only recommend improving the kitchen utensils a little, but that's almost imperceptible.

Es un lugar hermoso, tranquilo y privado para disfrutar del lago. Toda la descripción cumple al 100%. Nos hubiera encantado quedarnos más días. Es un lugar realmente acogedor. Despertar con esa hermosa vista es sanador. Solo recomendaríamos mejorar un poco los utensilios de comida pero eso es casi imperceptible.

We had an all-around wonderful stay and felt very comfortable from the first moment. The apartment is lovingly decorated, very clean and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. However, the absolute highlight is the fantastic view – enjoying the view with a cup of coffee in the morning and experiencing the sunset in the evening was simply unforgettable. The stay alone is worthwhile. The warm hospitality and straightforward communication with the host also made our stay perfect. Thank you so much for having us. We would come back anytime and wholeheartedly recommend this apartment!

Wir hatten einen rundum wundervollen Aufenthalt und haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Apartment ist liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht. Das absolute Highlight ist jedoch der traumhafte Ausblick – schon morgens mit einer Tasse Kaffee die Aussicht zu genießen und abends den Sonnenuntergang zu erleben, war einfach unvergesslich. Allein dafür lohnt sich der Aufenthalt. Auch die herzliche Gastfreundschaft und die unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber haben unseren Aufenthalt perfekt gemacht. Vielen Dank, dass wir hier zu Gast sein durften. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können dieses Apartment von Herzen weiterempfehlen!

A dream location. Really spectacular. The layout of the apartment, the unbeatable view, total tranquility, and equipped beyond what is mentioned. Highly recommended. It must be one of the best places in Panajachel. Beautiful.

Un lugar de ensueño. Realmente, espectacular. Distribución del departamento, la vista inmejorable, tranquilidad total y equipado más allá de lo que menciona. Súper recomendable. Debe ser uno de los mejores lugares en Panajachel. Hermoso.

The best thing we can say about any stay was that we wished we could have stayed longer. And that’s what it was like here. Amazingly peaceful and beautiful view. I can’t imagine a better location.

This place is beautiful! The home was just as amazing as the views. I will definitely stay here again!

The place is really very nice. For someone who goes for the views, it's completely worth it.

Realmente el lugar es muy lindo para alguien que va por las vistas vale completamente la pena

A nice place with a view of the beach. It's a quiet and private place. Totally worth it

Una bonito lugar con vista a la playa, es un lugar tranquilo y priivado. Vale totalmente la pena

⚠️ Please be careful with this host. I highly recommend reading the negative reviews before booking because they are there for a reason. This trip was supposed to be to enjoy our anniversary, but the host falsely accused us of bringing an unauthorized guest and demanded an extra $160. She first claimed she saw it on cameras, but when we asked for proof, she changed her story. We provided evidence proving we were not even at the property at the time she claimed, yet she continued demanding payment. We had to involve Airbnb Support. We had to leave the property because we didn’t feel safe anymore since it was clear she either lives on/near the property. After reviewing our evidence, Airbnb confirmed the accusations were false and refunded part of our money. The hot water hardly worked, we received no response from the host when we messaged her about it. Most windows had no screens, so bugs constantly got inside. The views were beautiful but what this host put us through was not worth it.

🚫These people are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They pretend to be kind and respectful, but they are not. Do not be fooled. I will not recommend them! Firstly, I am Italian and i don’t sugar coated people. when they are coming into my house stealing, destroying or disrespecting me, my trust while breaking rules trough dishonest as you did . I will certainly confront them . And you are afraid of confrontation and being caught! Andres a day before to the check in, asked if they could bring 2 extra people into the house. I kindly explained that they needed to update the reservation for 4 guests, and they became upset because the price would increase. I explained that this is not a hostel where people pay for 2 guests and then invite 4 more. Our policy is specifically designed to discourage situations where luxury homes are rented by large local families who then invite additional people while paying the minimum amount possible. When I asked them to reserve the property for the actual number of guests staying in the house, they told me they would not do it and claimed the extra people would not come. I trusted them. After check-in, while I was parking my motorcycle, since I also live on the same property, I discovered the reality: the house was hosting more people than listed on the reservation. As soon as I pointed this out, they started sending messages full of complaints and accusations against the property: saying the house was not nice, that the mosquito screens did not work, and that there was no fan. They continued with constant complaints and abusive messages, in orther to receive them money back and stay there for free. They were intese , writing me on my WhatsApp and trought the platform. Disturbing me in any way possible. I stopped to respond to them as there was the clearly intention of bothering me and I had to contact Airbnb Support￼ to mediate the situation. Finally I gave to the aib&b support the images of the camera on the gate recording them enter with more people to the property , to be able to prove it . Airb&b refound me about the 2 extra people sleeping in the couch for 4 nights. Andres, Irene and the extra visitors, left the house the night before to not been caught, always not admiring about the breaking rules and trying to gaslight the entire situation . I love to be a SUPERHOST as I am been for the last 6 years . My houses are fully booked every day or months.. bc we are doing it with love and kindness. We like to receive people from all arround the world and help guests to have an amazing and unique moment /experience at the lake . Come and live your own experience thought your eyes not thought Andres and Irene’s.

Excellent experience at Daniela's Airbnb in Panajachel ✨ The place is very quiet, private and welcoming, perfect for resting and disconnecting. The views of the lake are simply spectacular; the sunrises between the mist and the sun illuminating Atitlán were incredible 🌄 In addition, the place's little pier gives it an even more special touch and makes the whole experience feel super relaxing and unique ✨ We also really appreciate that it is truly pet friendly 🐾, as we were able to stay comfortably with our pets, which is not always easy to find. It was very clean and we would definitely return 😊

Excelente experiencia en el Airbnb de Daniela en Panajachel ✨ El lugar es muy tranquilo, privado y acogedor, perfecto para descansar y desconectarse. Las vistas al lago son simplemente espectaculares; los amaneceres entre la bruma y el sol iluminando el Atitlán fueron increíbles 🌄 Además, el muellecito del lugar le da un toque todavía más especial y hace que toda la experiencia se sienta súper relajante y única ✨ También apreciamos muchísimo que realmente sea pet friendly 🐾, ya que pudimos hospedarnos cómodamente con nuestras mascotas, algo que no siempre es fácil de encontrar. La limpieza estuvo excelente y definitivamente regresaríamos 😊

The place is simply beautiful. The house is incredible and super comfortable! They have a beautiful vibe! The place has a paddleboard and kayak. You can use them to paddle on the lake! Very practical!

Simplemente hermoso el lugar la casa es increíble súper cómoda ! Tienen una vibra hermosa! El lugar cuenta con tabla y kayak puedes hacer uso de ellos para remar en el lago ! Muy práctico !

Just like the photos, great location, beautiful property. Really lovely would stay here again. Notes: Would have liked more windows to have screens to enjoy the lake air without bugs. Water heater turns on and off every few minutes so shower alternates between scalding hot and cold

Daniela's place was one of our favorite parts of our Guatemela trip. Absolutely stunning views of Lake Atitlan, very peaceful, and very safe. Check-in was easy as Daniela provided clear instructions. She was also very friendly! She was helpful with booking transportation from the airport to the airbnb and was just a wonderful host. The house itself was clean, had all the essentials, and had so much charm! Our only issue was the showers' hot water was turning on and off constantly and at some points just turned completely off so it was just cold water, but this didn't bother us all too much. It was still an amazing stay!

Was a pleasure having you at the lake’s house . Thanks for letting us know about the shower we will fix it today!

Stunning views and a well kept property. The property is gated and located in a peaceful quiet area. Getting to town was easy thanks to Daniela who provided instructions on how to get a Tuk Tuk. Once booking our stay she also helped us arrange transportation from the airport with a reliable person and car. Had a great time and would return! The views are absolutely amazing!

The most beautiful Airbnb. An easy 5 min tuk tuk ride from town and the most amazing private beach with kayaks and paddle boards. It was clean, peaceful and exactly like the pictures! We wish we could of stayed longer. Daniela also a friendly, warm and very attentive host with lots of recommendations. We could not recommend this little paradise enough!

We really loved our stay here! Not super close to town, but Daniela provides cheap transportation info that was really easy to utilize. We ended up loving the privacy, the views, and everything about it. Thank you, Daniela!

A lovely, peaceful escape with an awe-inspiring view. We spent ample time on the deck each morning. The lovely walk through the grounds, lush with tropical flowering plants, was an unexpected bonus. We watched the sunset from the private beach on our last night, which was so stunning I wished we had done it more. The interior of the house was true to the pictures and quite clean, and the amenities proved perfect for our stay. The beds were comfortable enough. Good to know: - If streaming TV is important, bring an HDMI cord as the TVs aren't "smart." That wasn't our objective (so a non-issue), but we resorted to watching our before-bed shows on my iPad. - The average person may not consider this location walkable, but we walked to and from town a couple of times. Or tuctuc rides are 15Q/person for most trips. - Dani is a great resource for recommendations and add-on services/activities. She helped arrange transportation to the airport for us. We loved our stay. Book it!

Such a beautiful place! The pictures don’t do it justice. Would absolutely recommend staying here and I plan on returning next time I come to Guatemala.

WE HAD A SUPER PLEASANT AND VERY RELAXING STAY, LISTENING TO THE BIRDSONG, THE SOUND OF THE WATER, AND THOSE AMAZING VIEWS!!! WE ENJOYED THE KAYAK RIDE, THE HAMMOCK BREAKS, AND I MUST SAY THAT THE BEDS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE.  EASY ACCESS AND COMMUNICATION. 100% RECOMMENDED.

TUVIMOS UNA ESTADIA SUPER AGRADABLE Y MUY RELAJANTE ESCUCHANDO EL CANTO DE LAS AVES, EL SONIDO DEL AGUA Y ESAS VISTAS IMPRESIONANTES!!! DISFRUTAMOS EL PASEO EN KAYAK, LOS DESCANSOS EN LA HAMACA Y DEBO DECIR QUE LAS CAMAS SON MUY CÓMODAS.  FACIL ACCESO Y COMUNICACIÓN. 100% RECOMENDADO

Spectacular place, it has an amazing view. Daniela and Regina are excellent hosts.

Lugar espectacular, tiene una vista increíble. Daniela y Regina son unas excelentes anfitrionas.

Breathtaking views of Lake Atitlán and such a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The location is perfect, close enough to town for convenience but far enough away to truly enjoy the peace and quiet. The gardens are beautiful, and having a private beach on the lake with access to a kayak was a huge bonus. It is an easy tuk tuk ride into town or even walkable if you are in decent shape. The home itself is perfect and well equipped with everything you need to be comfortable, and we even made homemade pizza one night using the pizza oven which was such a fun experience. Originally we thought we would stay in different towns around the lake, but we ended up loving having a home base and exploring each town by boat instead of constantly moving our luggage. Daniela was an incredible host, very accommodating and always available when we needed her. We also took her recommendation for paragliding and it was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend and do not miss visiting the Mayan villages, it was

Squeaky clean, very private, lovely patio and hammock, and most importantly it was in a great location that was away from the hustle and bustle of Pana but close enough to easily hail a Tuk Tuk into town.

The view from this Airbnb is beyond stunning. It is truly the highlight of the stay. The kitchen was equipped with basics to cook in. We recommend stopping at a grocery store before going to the Airbnb to stock up on what you will cook. The tuk tuk is also easy to schedule via messaging. Daniela was responsive and helpful. We wish we had time to use the kayak and paddle board. The walk to the Airbnb was fine for able bodied people. The bathroom was the only area that needed improvement - the shower pressure was poor and the bathroom never felt clean enough but that is the nature of being in the jungle! Also watch out for ants in the kitchen.

This is the worst airbnb experience I’ve ever had. The lake is gorgeous but infested with mosquitos and the doors to the outside do not close all the way.  Our first night there were hundreds of bugs on the ceilings we had to try to clean off. The host offers services/ transfers  to get to the house  and once we found out they were $100 over what the actual cost is we tried not to use her services but she forced us to send her money  off the app. The hot water doesn’t work, there is bad phone service; getting to town is inconvenient and it’s a 30 min walk from any food. The worst part was that the host was angry with us when we didn’t want to pay for her overpriced services and tried to scam us saying we broke her hammock (never used it) and get even more money from us after our stay. I had to block her because I became so anxious from her continued angry messages days after we checked out.

You came to my house and you stole things, damage walls , sheets and towels and you broke the hammock. I’m not even counting the personal time I had to spend speaking to a problematic person who was verbally arrogant and possibly psychologically unstable. Unfortunately, that has no price.

Amazing place and location, quick tuk tuk to pana. The private transportion that was offered was A+

i spent my last couple days in guatemala here and it couldn't have been more perfect. far away enough from the city but close enough to not be inconvenient. getting a tuktuk back and forth was easy. the private patio and views are amazing, looks better in person! the whole property is stunning and the private beach was so nice

The place has an excellent location and an unparalleled view of Lake Atitlán. This Airbnb reservation was totally worth it

El lugar tiene una excelente ubicación y una vista inigualable del lago Atitlán. Valio totalmente la pena la reservación de este Airbnb

The place is beautiful. If you are looking for peace, an excellent view and you don't mind being away from the village, it's okay. The problem is that communication with the owner and the manager is almost non-existent, they had us waiting more than half an hour with the luggage on the street to check in, since it is not autonomous. Although they offer additional services, it is better to organize yourself since they never respond to messages. The bathroom was damaged and they ignored the alert. However, the checkout was on time, not a minute late. Communication is critical considering that you have nothing around the place, and the only way to get food/medicine/etc is in the village, and for that you must take a tuktuk. Also, consider that access to the room is somewhat complicated if you have luggage. Something common in almost all accommodations in the area, but important to keep in mind. I don't usually write negative reviews, but in this case, communication was paramount and it failed.

El lugar es precioso. Si buscan paz, una excelente vista y no les importa estar alejados del pueblo, está ok. El problema es que la comunicación con la dueña y el encargado es casi nula, nos tuvieron esperando más de media hora con el equipaje en la calle para hacer check in, ya que este no es autónomo. Si bien te ofrecen servicios adicionales, mejor organizarse uno mismo ya que nunca responden los mensajes. El baño tenía un daño e hicieron caso omiso a la alerta. Sin embargo el checkout fue exacto, ni un minuto más. La comunicación es crítica considerando que no tienes nada alrededor del lugar, y la única manera de conseguir comida/medicinas/etc es en el pueblo, y para ello debes tomar un tuktuk. Adicionalmente considerar que el acceso a la habitación es algo complicado si vas con equipaje. Algo común en casi todos los alojamientos del área, pero importante tenerlo presente. No acostumbro a poner reseñas negativas pero en este caso, la comunicación era primordial y falló.

Good morning Fernando. I'm sorry to hear that your stay was not to your liking. We were present at the numerous requests you made and to which we followed up. But all the things she wanted to do in just two days, at the last minute, have to be organized in time. I understand the frustration, Atitlan is a lovely place, it is worth having more time to enjoy all the activities fully. I wanted to add that the bathroom float was fixed as soon as you left. I wish you a good trip and hope you can organize yourself better next time.

The pictures dont do it justice.  it is cliffside down a beautiful cobblestone foot path among hundreds of native plants and beautifully landscaped flower that guide you to your epic stay. 180 degree views. private beach/dock with kayak and paddleboard. lush bedding with crisp white down comforter.  hot water shower, fluffy oversized towels. a kitchen full of all the hardware I needed. an open air deck with dining and hammock; its attached to the huge sliding glass doors from the main room and bedroom making the whole place open air if you so choose. its only a 10 minute or so tuk-tuk to the village. a 35 min walk.

A gem of a rental, upon arriving at the house, the views were pure joy and peace. Close enough to town to walk. 3 dollar usd tuk tuk rides back and forth if needed. We decided to rent a scooter as it is much easier to not rely on anyone else for getting around town. The house was perfect, loved the back deck with yoga mats and hammock. 3 beds , plenty of room for a family. Nice bathroom, soft beds, not firm, they were comfortable. Great towels, blankets, sheets, and pillows. Getting to the house from the private parking area is a Rough walk up and down rocked walk ways, totally cool with us, but may not be great for elderly or physically impaired. Awesome private beach, with kayak and paddle board, plus life vests. The most peaceful location, 5 min drive outside of Panajachel. Blue lake cafe and restaurant was amazing for breakfast with a view. THE VIEWS ARE HEAVENLY. If you’re looking for peace and quiet YOU NEED TO STAY HERE. Kind neighbors with awesome dogs and cats. JUST BOOK IT💗💗💗

The most spectacular view of the lake that you will find. This cozy cottage was as dreamy as it gets. Get some groceries in town, cook some meals in the fully equipped kitchen to cook, and eat in the patio overlooking Atitlan. The hammock we fought over, taking turns. Ingress and Egress to the complex is smooth and easy. 100/10 great place to stay. Thank you to our hosts!

This place has, without a doubt, the most spectacular views we have ever seen at Lake Atitlán. Waking up every morning to the lake and the volcanoes right in front of you is truly unforgettable. The place is very comfortable, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The hosts were incredibly attentive and kind, always making sure everything was okay and happy to help with anything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special experience at Lake Atitlán.

The view is absolutely amazing—we loved it so much that we spent the entire day relaxing on the patio, playing games, and soaking it all in. The location is perfect: close enough to town for convenience, yet far enough to feel peaceful and serene. Daniela and Erick were wonderful hosts. We 100% recommend this place!

This place is simply paradise. It's fantastic. If the photos look amazing, when you arrive it's even better. Maybe I would add some things that I didn't read in the description and that seemed like a plus to me, which is that it has a small private beach and it is possible to kayak or use the surfboard for free. The place is dreamy. The hosts were so nice. They always communicated and their instructions were clear at all times. I hope to return because every minute in that place was a dream for me. Check-in is very easy and the area is very safe, quiet and beautiful. The view is unparalleled. The house is beautiful and perfectly decorated. It's very quiet and has everything you need for your stay. We were able to cook without a problem. We were happy from start to finish. Thanks to Daniela for everything.

Este lugar es sencillamente el paraíso. Es fantástico. Si las fotos parecen increíbles, cuando llegas es aún mejor. Tal vez agregaría algunas cosas que no leí en la descripción y que me parecieron un plus y es que tiene una pequeña playa privada y es posible hacer kayak o usar la tabla de surf gratis. El lugar es de ensueño. Los anfitriones fueron muy amables. Se comunicaron siempre y sus instrucciones fueron claras en todo momento. Espero volver porque cada minuto en ese lugar fue un sueño para mí. La llegada es muy fácil y la zona es muy segura, tranquila y hermosa. La vista no tiene comparación. La casa es hermosa y está perfectamente decorada. Es muy tranquila y tiene lo necesario para la estancia. Pudimos cocinar sin problema. Estuvimos felices de principio a fin. Gracias a Daniela por todo.

The place is much nicer than the pictures. You feel at home. The view is breathtaking! You don't want to leave the house. 100% recommended.

El lugar es muchísimo mejor que en las fotos. te sientes en casa. ¡La vista es impresionante! no quieres salir de casa. recomendable al 100.

Without a doubt, this has been the best Airbnb I have booked. Not only because of the location, but also because of how attentive Daniela was. She was amazing! I must’ve asked 100 questions and she was extremely helpful and always quick to respond to anything and everything we needed. I hope to be back very very soon! Thank you again, Dani!

A true haven, we were so happy with our stay, and Daniela was such a lovely host. The views are absolutely incredible; photos don’t do them justice. Just a heads-up that it’s a very quiet residence and a bit of a trek to reach, but if that’s your vibe, this is the place to stay in Panajachel. ✨
