Nice hostel with great outdoor area. You can buy pretty cheap and tasty breakfast until 11. After that they don’t serve any food and they don’t have a kitchen for guests to use, so you are dependent on eating out which is not ideal.

A nice place to chill. The dorms are quite hot at night but everywhere on the island seems to be like that. Very good and affordable breakfast too!

Space was great! Nice location and they were super helpful coordinating scooters, the local buses and boat for our departure. No lockers but the rooms have locks. Lots of games and a volleyball court but just not many others to play with when we were there.

perfect strategical stay right in the middle of the island, close to Ojo de Agua, Wet Wednesdays hostel and to other attractions. Wifi not so good but 5 stars because that’s not what we came there for! 🤝

Prima verblijf gehad! Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Fijn dat je een scooter kon huren vanuit het hostel, veel eet tentjes liggen wat verder weg van het hostel.

Ik verbleef hier twee nachten en had het erg naar m'n zin. Het personeel was ongelooflijk vriendelijk! je kon alles aan ze vragen. Wanneer ik er was, was het erg rustig in het hostel waardoor ik niet kan inschatten of het een sociale plek is of niet. Fijne ligging! Ze deden ook mijn was, wel jammer dat al m'n kledij vol met pluisjes hing toen ik het terug kreeg.

Die lage und somit der Ausblick auf den Vulkan ist einfach großartig und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Insgesamt konnte ich super abschalten und entspannen. Das Dorm ist sehr einfach gestaltet. Ich komme gerne wieder!

The bestttt view here 💫. The rooms are nice and simple. It’s less crowdy here than the more well known hostels, it has a nice vibe and there’s hammocks everywhere to chill 🦥. The staff is super nice and helpful ( especially Maynor ♡ ), plus they speak English :) Also if you’re going to Wet Wednesday , this is right down the street!!

This is for me the absolute worst, bad wifi, no warm showers, mosquitos in the bedroom and the male staff is very unfriendly. When I asked a question he called me a criminal, made me pay way more than I normally had to pay and called the police too. I would never sleep in such a hostel ever again, would not recommend

Really good for a cheap stay. Very basic, not super comfy beds or clean rooms but location is great and staff were nice. But no hostel vibes.

Location is perfect for activities nearby but hostel is very quiet, staff is not welcoming nor friendly. Bed is very uncomfortable but you have a personal fan.

The location of the hostel is good, near a couple of cafes/restaurants. The surroundings of the hostel are beautiful and you do get good views. However the dorm room we were in was really damp with mould/damp on the walls and the smell was terrible. Unsure if private rooms are better/the same but the dorms are not pleasant at all to stay in. We left early due to a change in our plans but we were happy to be out of there in all honesty

Fine hostel if you’re on a budget and not picky. Location is great on the island, nice outdoor area and very friendly staff. That’s about it - the dorms are very basic, there’s definitely mold in the room and everything feels damp. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned once during my stay and there was never toilet paper.

Really lovely common area with lots of tables and hammocks, stunning views, perfect location between the beach and wet Wednesday party, highly recommend staying here if you already are a group but not if you’re looking to meet a lot of people

Great family run hostel, super helpful organising tours, giving recommendations, renting scooters and making delicious meals. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. Awesome views of the volcano as well.

Loved this hostel, really good location ij ometepe. In our group we stayed in one private room and one dorm and both were great. The family who run it are so nice and great hosts. They also make great food and it is well priced!

The view was amazing!! The staff was veryyyy friendly and very sweet!! They have a lot of hang out places and its easy to get everywhere from there. We stayed in a private room. It was a little dirty and the showers were a bit nasty. But for the price it was really worth it. Would totally recommend!
