Accommodation
Planning on visiting Guatemala? Lanquin would be a great place to stay as you tour this amazing country.
Lanquin accommodation features a wide range of lodges, hostels, resorts and guesthouses.
The different hotel price points and amenities available make it easy to get exactly what you are looking for and right within your budget as well.
Choosing where to stay in Lanquin also depends on the various things you may want to do while there, since proximity to places like Semuc Champey can be advantageous.
But one thing is for sure, you’ll find a great environment to relax and enjoy your vacation when you visit this beautiful place.
Here’s a detailed list I’ve created of what we consider are the 10 best places to stay in Lanquin.
I hope it helps you make a choice of your most ideal place to stay in.
Let’s dive right in.
Booking.com has been our go-to booking site for the longest time. You can use them to reserve accommodation in Lanquin. We’ve used them for different places in Central America, Asia, Europe and basically everywhere we travel.
We always recommend Booking.com because they have such a wide range of hotels to pick from. They also offer the best prices. And the best part is that once you complete 3 bookings with them, you get access to great discounts and perks by becoming a Genius member. For example, you can get 10% off certain bookings, early check-ins or late check-outs.
Agoda, on the other hand, is also one of the great sites to make your bookings. They also have a wide selection of hotels. Their website is easy to use so you don’t have to worry if you’ve never used them before.
Agoda also has a cashback service on certain properties called AgodaCash. This service actually makes some of the bookings slightly cheaper than even Booking.com.
Once you've made your choice of hotel from the list below, I suggest you check the prices on both Booking.com and Agoda via the links I’ve included after every hotel.
