Casa Papaki is situated in Mérida and offers a garden, barbecue facilities and a shared lounge. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 4.7 km from Maderas Volcano. Free private parking is available and the homestay also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area.

Definitely the nicest rooms and gardens in all of Ometepe! Beautiful private balcony and many lovely dogs living there. The bed was the most comfortable in all my travels in Nicaragua I think, with quality sheets and a comforter and two big windows for a nice breeze. There’s a few restaurants nearby but they also offer a delicious breakfast on site. I loved the decor and the place was spotless. The location is remote but perfect walking distance to do the kayak tour of the river. If you’re a dog lover and go to Playa Mangos to do the kayak tour please take a bag of dog food, I’ve never seen so many skeletal dogs, they will appreciate it

Located in Mérida within 3.3 km of Maderas Volcano, Hostal La Cascada provides accommodation with seating area and a kitchenette. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests.

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 🏔️.

Featuring a garden, bar and views of mountain, La Sirenita - Ometepe is set in Altagracia, 6.2 km from Maderas Volcano. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace and free WiFi. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

The location is beautiful!! Beach huts are clean, comfortable and cozy. The lake is on your doorstep with views of the volcano to your right and a great sunset bar to your left. An island paradise with lovely dogs, chickens, a cat, ducks along with a friendly and helpful owner. Scooter access is 100% okay! There is a restaurant next door but if you want to go to others it’s a close 10min drive. Look no further and stay here!

Maria doesn't really speak english, but she definitely trys hard to make you feel comfortable! Also, the food is really good, you have to try the filete del pescado & banano con leche! We did not meet too many other backpackers in the 4 nights we stayed but nevertheless worth a visit.

Ananda Guest house is located on the slopes of the Maderas Volcano on Ometepe Island, 19 mi from the port of Moyogalpa. The 5-acre organically managed property runs on a hybrid energy system including solar and grid energy.

Beautiful location. Walking distance to main road with some nice restaurants within 30 mins. Information booklet in the room was helpful. Help to rent mopeds, organise transport, guides etc. The room was spacious, bed was really comfortable, hardly any creepy crawlies (this is a complaint from many of the eco lodges). Good wifi. 2 fans which was nice. Good shower pressure and temperature.

    The home stay is amazing and not located in a crowded area with hostels. Teresa, the owner, is such a smart and lovely person. Her animals (dogs, cats, chicken) are amazing too.

    Literally the cutest home. We had the nicest room and it was so clean and beautiful. The building was like an actual house instead of a hotel/hostel feel. Lots of cute chickens and pups running around. A really great host and breakfast. It was so quiet and peaceful.
