Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I really like my journey in the hostel ! The family is really really nice and cares about its hosts. I definitively recommend it! I spent most of my evenings chatting with Maximo and Martha, they have values that I find beautiful. They have the heart on the hand and cares about the comfort of the hosts.

    It was very pleasant stay in this family hostel. It is little bit far from city center and bus station, but you can easily walk or take a cheap taxi. ATM, shops or restaurants are few minutes far. It's quiet and safe place with good kitchen and wifi. Hosts also let us do our laundry there. I can't recommend more. I have to say that hosts were so friendly and price is more than good.

    Super cheap food and accommodation! Maria is really nice and friendly. Very basic, no WiFi in rooms and water stopped working once but for an economy option I don’t think something to complain about. Opposite a really good coffee shop with good wi fi if you’re remote working.

    After 4 months of traveling in south and central Amerika, we’ve never met such a friendly person as Max. He gave us the warmest welcome when arriving and helped us with all our questions. The room itself is simple but is has everything you need. Safe neighborhood, stores and restaurants are 10-15 minutes walk. Just the perfect stay if you want to go to omepete afterwards. Again, muchas gracias por todo!

    Max and Martha were the perfect hosts! This property is their home and they really make you feel like it’s also your home. I stayed one night after visiting Ometepe Island and before an early flight the following morning. They offered to pick me up from the ferry and helped me organise the fastest and cheapest transport to get to Managua early the following day. They even woke up and took me to the bus stop around the corner at 4am and checked in with messages to make sure I arrived safe! Such a lovely, homely experience!

    The location of the hostel is just perfect. Small cabins surounded by coconut trees. Its remote but you feel safe all the time. 5 min walk to the beautiful beach of Popoyo. Trent couldn't be a better host. In the morning you get an awesome breakfast with fresh fruits from the area and in the evenings Trent will explore the local kitchen with you.

    Great stay at Ruamoko hostel. The owner welcomes you with a smile and kindness. The dormitory is big and spacious there are even 2 bathrooms in the room of 8! The sea is just next door and the atmosphere is really cool in the hostel. I recommend :)

    I really liked our stay in Hostal Maria. She is the cutest ‚mama‘ and makes the best breakfast :) we booked two beds in the dorm and were alone for our whole stay, that was funny. so if you just need a place to sleep and not for party or meeting people or cooking your own stuff this is super worth it for the cheap price!
