WARNING ⚠️ CALL JENNA'S BEFORE ARRIVING TO PANAJACHEL so they can arrange transportation from your taxi/bus to the hotel. The "TukTuks" (the only available transportation) should charge you around $25 Quetzales to take you to the hotel. Unfortunately some of the drivers take advantage of new tourists, and we were charged an exorbitant amount.
To JENNA'S staff: Please warn incoming guests about this.
Other than that, I'll let the other reviews speak for themselves. This place is beautiful and the staff are excellent.

Big thanks to the manager, Yvan. Without him, we would be totally lost. He managed our tuk-tuk transportation to Panajachel and ordered our trips with a travel agency. Otherwise, unfortunately, I was disappointed. We bought the room/jurt because of the Lake Atitlan view promised in the description. Our room didn't have ANY view of Lake Atitlan!!! The place is not within walking distance from the city of Panajachel. Get ready to pay extra money for each transportation to the town and back. I understood it was a rustic area, but the room wasn't worth the money we paid.

We had a great 4 night stay at Jenna’s. Our room was small but comfortable and very clean and the view was amazing. We used the restaurant every night because we had been out all day and didn’t want to go out again to eat, but it was fine and the staff was so lovely. I’d totally recommend Jenna’s!

First… you cannot get a better view it is gorgeous. The staff are wonderful and helpful. That being said… our yurt did not have screens on the windows and the room had to fans or AC of any kind. We went to the local appliance shop and bought one. Some of our windows did not lock and there was no safe so that was sketchy. The food is okay but not the best.

Here is my honest feedback the good and the bad. I was absolutely excited to stay in this property seeing the photos online. When arriving the first thing I noticed was the view. The staff member was very kind when we checked in and gave us a map and contacted a tuk tuk for us as this property you can not get to Panajachel actual hot spots unless you get in a tuk tuk which is 20 q for one person or multiple 15 q per ride.
Now let’s get into what turned this into a horrible experience. Our bedroom was not clean at all! I am honestly not even a complaining type of person and the first night I texted if their would be cleaning service as I gave the benefit of the doubt. That is until I woke up to bugs in my bed, a black scorpion spider in the tub, and on the ceiling light a thick spider web that you can tell has been there forever.
We stayed up all night killing bugs. One day we were coughing so much from the dust and bugs that we ended up feeling sick and not going into town. The cleaning service came and she was in and out the room in less than 5 minutes and the tub still had dead mosquitos and bugs. I’m very disappointed also eventhough 15 q is cheap if added up having to go back and forth as for a couple it was 30 q each time.
The breakfast was good but the same everyday for the included option. Coffee, beans, fruit, eggs, tortillas.
They had pancakes etc option but that was 65 q if you wanted.
The room walls are thin you can hear everyone’s convos nearby.

Peaceful stay
Jenna’s B n B is a special place on the outskirts of Panajachel. If you like rustic, eclectic and scenic spots this will work for you. The food they serve is superb and the manager, Ivan, and staff are not only good at what they do, they are wonderful people!! I had a lovely stay.

There are 92 steps to access the property. This information should be included in the hotel bio.and 3 levels down from that is the pool which was dirty. The property is beautiful but very disappointed in access to it.

We enjoyed our stay however we did not realize it was similiar to glamping and wasn’t prepared for all the loud bugs while we sleeping. And crawling all over us with the added heat and no fan in the room made for a long night. I should mention I absolutely love camping and glamping on a normal planned and prepared weekend with fans,citronella candles and tons of bug spray But this was a weekend getaway with my husband not prepared for camping and the heat.

We loved the owl yurt for its view and privacy. Listening to the birds in the morning was our favorite part. The staff was so nice and patient despite our poor Spanish. They helped arrange transport around town and to Guatemala City.

The view here is great and Yvan the manager was ever so helpful in helping us navigate the lake and set up excursions. He helped us arrange a village tour by tuk tuk, paragliding and a sunrise hike at Indian Nose!
Unfortunately, the rooms were not as clean as we would have liked and the dinner service was disappointing (food lacked flavor, servers were not attentive/kind and this was the priciest meal in our entire trip). The breakfast was much better, though.
P.S. the entire property shares 1 hair dryer. I learned the hard way! :)

We have a great time views staff and breakfast were excellent however mattress could use an upgrade, doors should have a shade for privacy also for the sunlight, a better mirror the one in our bathroom you can barely see yourself there’s a lot of stairs so keep that in mind
