Where to start? Location, facilities, kitchen, vibe, surrounding nature... We could have not dreamt of a better place to get stranded. Sure, the way up to the hostel is steep and rocky, but so is life and you will be rewarded by a fresh breeze, likeminded people and the friendliest staff on earth (s/o to Philipp, Diego and Larissa). Whether you surf or not, you will enjoy your time as the team and fellow travellers organise regular events. We'll be back soon.

My stay at the Clandestino hostel was incredible - The hostel has a beautiful and homely atmosphere and Philip, Diego and Larry did everything to make us guests feel welcome. Great location for surfing and spending quality time.

Really cool hostel in the middle of the jungle! Great comfortable rooms with little bugs. Shower and toilet also in middle of jungle but very clean. Kitchen with beautiful view also clean.

Thijs Netherlands

The place is nicely decorated and offers common areas to chill. The room is nice and simple. The shared bathrooms and showers were clean.

Sven Germany

The volunteer staff was friendly and welcoming, wifi worked as expected, showers were good and there was a fan for every bed in the dorm.

By far the best hostel myself and my girlfriend have stayed in during our trip to Central and South America. There is such a special environment/atmosphere created here which is ultimately due to the dedicated and friendly people that run the hostel. The common areas (including the kitchen) are all beautiful. Whether it's the living area which looks out over the jungle or the kitchen which is modern and has all the equipment you could ever need. Also, the beach is 5 minutes away from the hostel. You will undoubtedly fall in love with Maderas and Hostel Clandestino and never want to leave!

The best place I’ve stayed in Nicaragua! Great vibes and feels instantly like home. Well stocked kitchen, very basic shower with cold water but it’s not a problem.

Ellie Australia

A very nice hostel, into the jungle.The stuff was really helpful and the atmosphere was great!

Giannis Romania

We had the best two weeks here, it's perfect for long stays and really switching off. You are in nature, in great company, surrounded by cute dogs. It was bliss!

Fanni Hungary

Great location, really close to the beach & Hush for sunsets. The big open kitchen was ideal for long travellers and also served as a spot for everyone to hang out and socialise. The staff and guests were all super like minded and easy to get along with. Shout out to bingo night which was surprisingly fun.
