Accommodation 
There are plenty of hotels and hostels in Guatemala and most of all right standard. Most hostels and hotels organize excursions at reasonable prices. One tip is to stay in a hotel that has access to either television or the Internet. Make sure that you as a girl does not go out on your own after dark when Guatemala is one of the world osäkraste countries to stay in that lonely girl. We paid around 100-150kr per night (per room, not per person).
Food
Well, you are not exactly to Guatemala for the domestic food alone. Prayers, taco bread and meat dishes are common on the menu. You can find American-style places, but they are not very affordable.
Sun & Bath
Then we just stayed in Guatemala inland, we can not comment on the beaches.
Accessibility and Transport
Buses run regularly and are okey standard. The trips are not sure. We have heard from numerous travelers we met who have been robbed. It seems to be incredibly common robberies during night missions. Avoid long trips during night time, in other words. Internet is everywhere and works well. If you have a tendency to get carsick, the longer bus trips to the mountains is not recommended.
Tours & Attractions
There is much to see in Guatemala, nature has a lot to offer with mountains, volcanoes and rich wildlife. However, you should make sure to go out with a big group and an experienced guide when robberies are more common in the country than McDonalds in the U.S..
Value for Money
Inexpensive but hardly affordable for all risks to constantly exposed to. What does it matter if the bus ticket costs SEK 8 when the camera you had in the bag was worth 4000?
Total 
We do not recommend Guatemala as a tourist destination for backpackers. Have you, however a nice hotel booked from home, it might be ok. On the other hand, who wants to sit in the hotel room all afternoon / evening? It is recommended not to go out after 17 o'clock, even in the upscale hotel areas.
