Favorite hostel in Nicaragua. We were worried it would be loud but the party dies down around midnight every night and moves to after party locations. Maybe not the best place if you are trying to catch an early nights sleep. Bunks were amazing and the staff was the best. Also the guides Josua, Ted, Cherry, and Nino are amazing!!

3 Nächte super geräumiges Zimmer mit Einzelbetten und Klima. Sehr sauber, das Team ist gut geschult. Die Küche könnte etwas Ausstattung ertragen. Vorallem Messer die Schneiden wäre ein Anfang. Bis ca 11 wird gefeiert dann ist die Musik auf moderater Lautstärke. Das einzige was schade ist, man darf überall rauchen. Direkt vor den Zimmern etc. Wo der Rauch natürlich und die Zimmer zieht. Sollte einfach eine Raucherzone eingerichtet werden. Das wäre Top für das schöne Hostel.

Bigfoot a été incroyable. L’ambiance y est chaleureuse et festive, parfaite pour rencontrer d’autres voyageurs du monde entier. Le personnel est super accueillant, toujours prêt à aider et à donner de bons conseils pour profiter au maximum des alentours.Les installations sont propres et bien entretenues, et les espaces communs invitent vraiment à la détente et aux échanges. Le volcano boarding est incroyable avec l'autobus de party !!!! Seul bémol, l'équipement cuisine pourrait se ...

I really enjoyed my stay here but be warned this is a party hostel so it will be loud and people will be friendly and want to socialise. If that’s not your vibe don’t stay here and look at people weird for wanting to have fun. The pod dorms are very spacious and the showers and toilets were always clean. Volcano boarding with them was a highlight of my trip.

The facilities are basic, but totally adequate. The staff are super friendly and helpful with local recommendations or activities. The Volcano boarding is a once in a lifetime experience and a must do.

Thank you do everything Bigfoot ! This hostel is hands down one of the best party hostels I’ve experienced. The atmosphere is always lively, the staff and volunteers go above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a great time, and it’s super easy to meet people. From the legendary volcano boarding to the party bus nights, there’s always something happening. If you’re looking for a social, fun, and slightly crazy experience in León, this is the place to be

Great hostel with nice capsule beds + AC. The volcano boarding tour was so fun too. They also have activities almost every night as well.

Fantastic hostel. I’d go as far to say it’s my favourite of all time - it has everything, social scene, excursions and facilities that just make travelling easier. 100/10 P.S. Megan is a legend, say hi to her if you see her behind the bar or at one of the events!

Really great hostel. Clean & comfy. Many showers/bathrooms. I thought there was no kitchen but there is a complete one witth a fridge. The A/C is too strong tho, it was too cold in the room at night. I’m not a party animal anymore so the Volcano boarding experience was at first a little bit uncomfortable for me, but SO WORTH IT. The staff is nice, everything is well organized and it makes the experience unforgettable. One of the best hostel I did in Nicaragua for sure.

I loveeeeddd this hostel. It was super clean, the dorm 3 was amazing since I had my own capsule to sleep in & the staff was amazing. I did the volcano boarding with them & even tho I don’t drink I had the best party bus experience ever. Pamela & Jeter, as well as the volunteers, really respected my boundaries and found ways to include me! Would def come back!

Staff are all so kind!!! There are activities almost every evening, and always quiet by midnight so you can still get some good sleep. The star of the show is of course volcano boarding — beautiful hike, so much fun, and the party bus!!

I loved the rooms, very spacious and so happy it had AC! They also have a really nice pool so it was great for a dip when it got hot. I came here for the volcano boarding (which was amazing, especially with the staff in the party bus!) but I stayed for all their amazing activities (karaoke, beer pong, beach party etc…). The vibe was one of the best I’ve experienced at a hostel! I would definitely recommend if you want a digital hostel that provides activities. Also amazing staff, super frien...

Theres fun activities in the nights & the vulcano boarding is a must do! Its 100% worth it. You get a shirt, food, drinks, and a looot of fun.

Super propre et super agréable. J'avais peur du côté festif et de la musique trop forte mais à 22h ça devient d'un coup super calme. Le personnel est top et je pense qu'il n'y a pas meilleure hostel pour des voyageurs qui souhaitent rencontrer du monde. J'ai de plus fais le Volcan Cerro Negro avec eux : une des meilleures expériences de mon voyage !
