The staff were really friendly and helpful. Lovely dinner and staff who helped as much as they could. Location was great and really appreciated the information prior to the stay about prices for taxis etc. There are also buses that go past here.

It’s a very peaceful place. Nice view and patio for working or relaxing with laptop or a book. Private access to a tranquil but small beach facing West. The dorm room is clean and well organized with 10 beds. The kitchen is well equipped and there are mango trees producing fruit ;)

WOW! A fabulous stay on a fabulous island! Hosts went above and beyond for us and a family run business. Food cooked there and then, fresh produce from their backyard! Can’t put a price on the view from the top, could have sat there all day! Motorbikes available from the place also! An absolute must on Ometepe!

This was easily one of the best hostels if have stayed at. The host family is extremly welcoming and organizes everything you could want (taxi, bikerental, kayaktour) at good prices. The room was cleaned every day and we were given fresh towels daily as well. The breakfast (can only recommend adding that) is delicious and filling. There was a hiccup with the communication via booking.com (it had overbooked the room and when we got there a solution was already provided. I cannot overstate how nice and generous the hostess Odelba and her family was. Jutst thank you for making our stay this wonderful!

Without a doubt the best hostel I've stayed at throughout the entire Central America. The huts are tucked away in a lush tropical garden and it is a little heaven of peace and calm. This is not a party hostel and I loved the chill vibe. The only sounds you'll hear are the birds (hence the name of the hostel). I was in an 8-bed dorm which was a bit tight but each bed has its own fan the the bed was comfortable - I slept like a baby. The facilities are super clean, one of rare places that sorts out trash for recycling, there is a lovely terrace and upper chillout area where you can see the Concepcion volcano. They offer breakfast at a good price and the typical Nica breakfast was delicious. There's a different evening meal on offer every day but I didn't try any. The staff were really kind and helped me organise a few things such as kayaking, transport, bike, etc. If I ever go back to Ometepe, I will definitely book this place again. Excellent!

One of the most magical places I’ve been to. The road to there is bumby, meaning that it’s literally in the middle of nowhere/nature. I personally loved that. We drove there by pick up and already the way up there felt like an adventure itself. Once arrived, we saw the magical lights everywhere. The owners really wanna make it a special place, welcome you warmly, have the best food I’ve had in Nicaragua. Whatever you order, it’s amazing. The rooms were super comfortable, big, beautifully decorated and I slept like a baby. The whole area is family-/kid-friendly, nice to calm down, relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Absolutely perfect.

Amazing place amidst the quite and lush farm owned and run by the local family. The hosts were so welcoming, friendly and helpful, that it was such a pleasurable experience to stay at the place. Truly felt like home. Bungalows look and feel amazing, it is minimal, but gives everything that is needed to feel incredible experience amidst the nature. Food cooked by the owners at the Finca was super delicious! Everything was organics and sourced locally and directly grown at the farm. One of the best stays at Nicaragua so far, definitely recommended!

    Teresa was absolutely lovely—an excellent host. Our room was very clean and the bed was large and comfy. Teresa was also an excellent cook we really enjoyed her pasta dish! We accidentally broke one of the tiles in the bathroom during our stay and Teresa was really understanding and we really appreciated that. The wifi was also very reliable.

    It was quiet and relaxed at this place. It was just in front of the water. They had a mango tree with tasty mangos. Everyone was very friendly and we could use the kitchen for preparing our meals. We were also able to order food which was very tasty and cheap. We had a motorbike, so transportation was convenient, but without it would be as easy. Our room was clean, we had two fans and enough space for our luggage. The tap water was drinkable. It was filtered water from coming from the mountain 🏔️.

    Great spot for watching sunsets, room was perfect for us and it was super quiet and relaxing. Lovely & helpful staff and amazing Nicaraguan breakfasts (we ordered the same one every day). They can also sort out bike hire which is needed as it’s a secluded location but perfect for getting away from crowds and having a chill time.

    Casa Papaki was a fantastic place to stay. The location was really nice and the staff and restaurant there were incredible. The food at the restaurant was especially amazing and the head chef Joshua was inspired to create a fusion with farm-to-table food. It was the best quality food we've had in all of Nicaragua.

The rooms are nice and spacious, shower has great pressure and the location is amazing since it is in walking distance to mango beach (sunsets!!) and close to the starting point of the hike to the waterfall!

    It's a really beautiful location, remote but beautiful. You're at the foot of Maderas volcano and can hear howler monkeys. The owners are super relaxed and it's an easy place to meet people as you all have dinner at 7pm. The grounds are gorgeous and well looked after. You can start the Maderas hike directly from the property!
