Pas très satisfaite de mon séjour, je suis restée une nuit et je suis partie car les chambres + salles de bains n’étaient vraiment pas propres

Salle de bain rudimentaire et hygiène à revoir Sécurité RAS Gros point négatif sur l’absence de cuisine à disposition des voyageurs (est-ce que nous dormirions en dortoir si nous avions du budget pour un plat à 8$ ??) Le propriétaire est sympathique et serviable mais pousse à la consommation Séjour mitigé, je ne recommande pas cet hostel d’un point de vue général, si petit budget

ההוסטל לא ממוקם במיקום טוב בכלל, מרחק הליכה של כ10-30 דקות מהחופים שניתן להשכיר בהם ציוד גלישה או לשהות. יתרון משמעותי הוא שמנהל ההוסטל יוצא כל ערב עם האורחים למסעדה מקומית אחרת במחירים הגונים, שירות חביב מאוד. סביבת השינה יחסית מרווחת והמצעים נקיים, ויש שני חדרי שירותים מקלחת �...

Nice location to a beautiful beach a five minute walk away. Good open space with pool. A bit far away from town but the owner gives you lifts to the restaurants. Bathrooms were really dirty but rest of room was fine. Would not recommend for female travellers as creepy vibe and some of the staff made comments that made us feel uncomfortable.

would not recommend this place for female travellers, there is an uncomfortable vibe… bathrooms are unclean and there is no atmosphere. Brilliant for good surfers however for a regular backpacker this is not the best location.

it's ok for the money and you are close to the beach (less than 10 minute walk) but the hostel, at least currently, does NOT look like as the pictures shows it. Pool dirty, Outdoor area neglected and bathrooma dirty. I don't expect green gras in the jard in the dry season but there are things you can take care of, no matter the seasons. The manager of the Hostel was a very very nice gut, I loved him. Shout out to this dude :)

We wouldn’t recommend this hostel - the bathrooms were absolutely filthy and there was no soap to wash your hands with. When we asked for some, we were told that the hostel doesn’t provide it. There was also no shower head on the shower and insects everywhere. The hostel is far from any restaurants or bars and doesn’t provide meals, although the manager does give you a lift to a restaurant each night which is nice. The saving grace was the breakfast, which was tasty and good value for ...

Feels like the place changed if I have to believe the prior reviews. The pictures are very misleading, does not look like it at all. Bathrooms were very unclean, not only because of the sand, but the showers were dirty with things falling of the walls and ceiling, the toilet and sink were not clean. The shower was just a hole in the wall with a little cold stream out of it, same for the tap in the sink. The location is kinda okay if you are a intermediate/advanced surfer but if you wanna go to b...

Si vous êtes des femmes seules c’est à FUIRE Le patron est sympa et donne m’a aidé pour aller à Managua , l’a droit est propre c’est vrai mais niveau sécurité c’est une catastrophe Le mec de notre chambre était super bizarre , il n’y a pas de séparation entre femme et homme donc bof Le gardien de nuit s’est touché à côté de nous et nous regardais avec insistance quand nou étions dans la piscine . On ne sait vraiment pas sentie en sécurité dans cette endroit .

Rustic hostel with clean dorms with fans and cold water showers. Good size pool. Nice owner. Excellent price on breakfast and lunch menu. Board on wall gives numbers for delivered food and taxi for visiting other bars etc. I would stay again

I'd heard great things from friends who had stayed at Ruamoko last year and it did not disappoint. Loved the rural feel, no big city noise, a real secluded get away near the beautiful beach. Yummy breakfast the next morning. Refreshing dip in the pool and picturesque walks around the area. Very relaxing!

Ruamoko was such a perfect getaway from the busy cities in Nicaragua. trent the owner was the sweetest man and gave us such good recommendations for what to do around town and even where were going on our next stop. we we're two girls traveltand felt so safe there. it's a perfect place to relax and unwind. good breakfast and lunch options at the hostel. beach is only a 7 minute walk and a like 5 minute walk to the absolute best pizza in Nicaragua. 100% would stay there again!!

I think this might once have been a good hostel. Now it is completely empty, you aren't allowed to use the kitchen and the owner just plays videogames all day and night.

Expérience très décevante à l’hostel Rumanako. Accueil froid et peu professionnel dès l’arrivée, aucune aide même pour une question simple. Problèmes d’hygiène (excréments de chats sur la terrasse, clous au sol). Pas de sécurité tôt le matin, Wi-Fi absent dans les chambres. Paiement uniquement cash ou crypto, nourriture extérieure interdite. Lieu clairement attrape-touristes, ne correspondant pas aux avis en ligne. Je ne recommande pas.

It’s very dark to walk around after sunset especially as a female. Nearest shop / restaurant is about 30/40 mins away and the hostel doesn’t sell any dinner options.

Pas très accueillant, on avait l’impression d’ennuyer le patron en lui posant des questions. La piscine est top et les petits dej sont bons mais l’ambiance est un peu triste. La nuit le veilleur dort sur un hamac mais l’hostel ne nécessite pas forcément plus de sécurité car l’emplacement n’est pas réellement à Popoyo mais juste à côté.

A nice, but rather basic hostel. Although 10 minutes walking from the lovely beach, the biggest problem is the location. It is quite far away from the hip restaurants and café’s in Popoyo. The atmosphere could be improved by some music and nice lighting.

Overall a good budget hostel. The place needs some love here and there. The stuff is friendly and offers laundry service. Breakfast and lunch is available. Walking distances: 10 mins to the beach 30 mins to Beginner Bay 45 mins to Popoyo

Trent was so lovely and made me and my sister stay very comfortable, he had lots of recommendations and was always there to answer any questions or have a laugh. He also very kindly drove me and my sister into Rivas. Was lovely to hang out there and recover after NYE :))

Trent the owner was very kind and helpful with whatever I needed during my stay. They have a great pool, plenty of places to chill in hammocks and cushioned chairs. The dorm rooms are very dark during the night, and there is 6 fans per dorm making it a very comfortable sleep. I was here just to surf and relax for a week and that’s exactly what I got. Can definitely recommend staying here if that’s what you’re looking for, especially in the low season.

Ruamoko was the most incredible stay ever! Trent is an awesome person who’s created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all travellers. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable with each person having their own personal fan to sleep with! I would recommend this place to anyone travelling to Nicaragua and would go back again myself in a heartbeat! What an amazing place!

I absolutely loved my stay at Ruamoko. Everything was so accommodating from location (walking distance to beach at Mag Rock), pool, breakfast, and friendly staff all around. Such a chill vibe and much needed. Trent was also amazing in his hospitality and knowledge of the area. Can't recommend it enough! Thank you, Trent and Ruamoko!!

Enjoyed my stay, the owner was very special but nice to us, he took us out for dinner and icecream twice. The location itself has huge potential but no one puts work in there. Definitely more run down than the pictures but still very nice
