This place was amazing. We had a lot of fun. Missy was super helpful. The breakfast was very good. We loved the little visit of the farm. We were planning to do the Maderas Hike and this place was a great choice for it. Don't be scared of spiders! And if you are, the jungle might not be the place for you. We had a lot of fun going for a little hunt before bed. :)

Amazing place! It is so beautiful here. The island of Omatepe is incredibly safe and friendly. The guest house is tucked away in the jungle, and is truly an experience. The view of Concepcion is great. The staff is very helpful. They helped us many times with making ferry reservations, recommending things to do, and other things. A couple things to be aware of: the driveway up to the house requires a 4WD car or motorcycles to make it all the way up (you can leave a car at the bottom and walk up though). The other thing is that this house is legitimately in the jungle, so you're probably going to run into some creatures on your way up the driveway (especially at night). They're harmless, but it probably isn't a great place to stay if you're uncomfortable with nature.

Get ready for me to rave!!!! This place was my dream come true (although it may not be yours if you do not appreciate the humor provided by having tarantulas and large insects in your room). Melissa and Erwing were fantastic hosts and the cook (whose name I do not recall) was so friendly and accommodating. And the dogs... I loved the dogs!! The place is absolutely as pictured and your experience will be as exactly described. You want for nothing as Melissa and Erwing met your needs before you even had considered what your needs were! Ometepe is amazing and is now my favorite area in Nicaragua. If I have the opportunity to return, I will claim the upper half of the Jungle House again! The view of the volcano and sunset were stunning from the vantage point of the deck's hammock chairs, and utter relaxation ensued. Thank you!!!!

My brother and I stayed at the Jungle House for two nights. It was amazing! As the name suggests, the casa is in the jungle, so be prepared for jungle life! It isn't out of the ordinary for tarantulas and other friendly critters to say hi. Melissa and Erwin were fantastic hosts. Super friendly and accommodating. I'll definitely be back on my next Nicaraguan adventure!

OMG! This place is amazing! The cabin itself is incredible. The views are awesome, it's secluded but has everything you need and more. Cool vibes from the other guests and Melissa's communication was so good ahead of and during our stay. We had hikes, trips, scooters all arranged through her and Erwing, both going out of their way to ensure we were constantly enjoying what we wanted from both the site and from Ometepe as a whole. Clemencia's breakfasts were awesome, the open air kitchen area is an amazing place to kick off your day. Really spacious, bed super comfortable and the terrace hammocks were the perfect place to start and end your days just hanging out. Feeling so connected with nature and hearing how the locals have such respect for island life made us feel like we could have stayed forever! Massive thanks to all on site and couldn't recommend this place enough. We hope to have the opportunity to revisit one day :-)

Missy was an amazing host! She was so helpful with directions, helping us to our room, and letting us know about Balgue. The view from the house was spectacular, and breakfast each morning was delicious! I really appreciated Missy helping us reschedule our ferry ride back to the mainland. We really needed to relax, and this was the perfect place for that. Ometepe is so laid back, and the Jungle House is no different.

Beautiful stay! Melissa and the team were responsive and helpful with anything we needed onsite and coordinating/recommending travel and activities offsite. Great hiking and kayaking nearby and beautiful views. Would definitely come back although next time I think we'll rent a motorcycle or something for easier exploration of the farther parts of the island.

UNREAL place! Best place of our entire trip. You HAVE to stay here. Delicious fresh breakfast, unreal views, and a magical experience. The hike in is definitely a challenge but it actually made it that more fun:)

I saw my first howler monkeys across the street one morning. Enough said? No, I keep almost forgetting about the monkeys because I was wrapped up in enjoying getting to know Lizzeth and her husband ("Mark" - don't know how to spell his name) and getting a taste of their interesting life on the island. Wonderful hosts. Recommended!!

We had a great time here, Mark and Lizette are fun and helpful hosts. The food was so good! They sorted a scooter for us as well as a couple of great guides for our walk up Concepcion. We definitely recommend this place. Cheers, Michael.

The accommodations here are adequate and seem to be under constant improvement. Mark, the host, is so generous with his time and will do his best to make sure that you get to do and see everything on your list. He is assisted by his wife and her family who are the real deal, genuine local Ometepe residents. "Mom" as she is known by everyone, will cook you a beautiful and delicious breakfast daily and upon request can make you a lunch for exploring or put together a tasty dinner as well. They will also provide a laundry service upon request . While we were there, we saw some of the most amazing fireflies at night. It is sort of like you are camping with good friends there. If you don't need a lot of amenities, this is the place to stay. Also, upon request, you can get blazing fast wifi there, truly a rarity on the island. So in conclusion, come for the company and the wifi. You will not find a better deal on the island.

The host and staff were very attentive, the location was central and easy to find.

Had such a lovely time here. Marc and Lizzeth are very personable and genuinely nice people. The food was delicious and it was secluded enough that we could still walk to attractions, yet have peace and quiet at the same time.

Beautiful experience in a family contest.Efraim si a perfect host. everything you need "no estas problema".super super!gracias also this wife and rufino.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay with Efriam. He is the most genuine, helpful, kind guy. Full of tips on the local are and also happens to be a volcano guide so took us on an amazing hike. His wife makes delicious authentic food, half the price of a local restaurant and twice as good. The room was clean, comfortable and incredibly spacious. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a top local experience, slightly off the beaten track (best to have you own transport). Such a wonderful experience!

Chambre indépendante située dans une bananeraie. Un peu éloignée du village mais ce n est pas un problème car Efraim est venu spontanément a notre rencontre et nous a arrangé un transport pour partir. Par son intermédiaire nous avons loué une moto livrée à domicile. Pas besoin de se rendre au village pour les repas; la femme d Efraim nous a préparé d excellents repas pour des prix très raisonnables. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse pour les amoureux de la nature.

Efraim is a very kind and friendly host. He is a animal lover and knows all ins and outs about all the birds and other animals in the neighborhood of his property. there is a guard ( Efraim's brother ) watching at night. very good

Amazing views of Volcano Concepcion from your front porch. I love the setting within a banana plantation with farm animals and song birds all around. The amenities are basic for now as Efraim keeps adding features to the home but you get good WiFi (surprising for the area) and good water pressure. The bat cave nearby is a must see for nature lovers. Efraim is also super friendly, laid back and very helpful in either personally showing you around the island or giving you tips to do it yourself. He also provides great food for convenient in-room dining. I would recommend doing a volcano hike with him or his brother - it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience even if your legs feel like noodles afterwards :). Also, rent his scooter and check out the island yourself if you are a little short of time. All-in-all, a great experience. Thanks.

Fantastic place! Highly recommended. Efraim and his family were excellent hosts. They prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us, all delicious and fresh. Efraim was also an excellent guide for Volcan Conception. This is a great place to feel at one with nature.

Efraim's guest house was absolutly wonderful! He and his family went out of their way to make sure our stay at their place was perfect and that we enjoyed our time on Ometepe. Efraim helped us coordinate everything from tours and renting a motorbike to meals and tips on great places to eat. The guest house sits on their peaceful farm outside the town of Altagracia and made for a great three nights stay. It is a wonderful place, particularly if you are seeking a more local and personal experience.

Efraim was so welcoming and beyond generous. We felt so lucky to be in San Silvestre and on this beautiful plantain farm. Efraim's wife made the best Nicaraguan food we've ever had. Efraim checked in each day to make sure we were okay and even brought us sour orange juice when he learned we had stomach aches. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer and that we didn't get to hike with Efraim. We hope to be back someday!

Daniel was the perfect host. All of the information about getting to his place was correct. I arrived earlier than I expected, so he took me on a bicycle tour of the neighborhood, which was great for finding my way around the next two days. The bicycle was also available for me to use during my stay. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. There is no hot water, but it wasn't an issue for me. The water was still warm. No need for a/c. The temperature was perfect at night with the fan. The bed was super comfortable. His mother made excellent meals upon request and she is very knowledgeable about healthy eating. I really enjoyed my time visiting with her. Their two dos and cats were great companions. During my stay and upon my departure, Daniel and his mother, were both very knowledgeable and helpful about getting me to my next destination. I would definitely recommend this location for your stay in Ometepe. It is in between both the Ojo de Aguas and the San Ramon waterfalls. Two things that I would recommend to make your stay most enjoyable are a good pair of earplugs and a blindfold. The sun is up early and so are the roosters and other jungle animals. I look forward to returning to Papaki House.

Casa Papaki es sin duda uno de los mejores sitios en los que hemos estado. La casa es preciosa y tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar y más. Cocina completamente equipada, salón espacioso y cómodo, habitaciones y baños limpios y muy bien decorados. Patio muy agradable con hamacas y sillas donde compartir un rato con el resto de la casa. El lugar es mucho más bonito que lo que se ve en las fotos. Daniel y su madre (Teresa) son los mejores anfitriones que hemos tenido en Airbnb. Por un módico precio Teresa te prepara unos desayunos, comidas y cenas deliciosos (sinceramente no merece la pena ir a ningún restaurante estando ella) y te cuidará como si fuera tu propia madre. Nos hicieron sentir como parte de la familia, incluso compartimos cumpleaños y salidas de noche con ellos. La casa se encuentra a 2 mins andando del alquiler de kayacs para ir al río Istian (muy recomendable) y al lado del comienzo del camino para subir al volcán Maderas. Daniel se ocupará de todo lo que necesites: alquiler de bicicletas, caballos, guías turísticos y recomendaciones. No podríamos haber tenido más suerte con este lugar. Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Muchas gracias por todo!!! :D

Toller Ort auf Omotepe zu bleiben. Daniel und Teresa fühlen Sie sich willkommen und zu Hause. Die Unterkunft ist groß, sauber und komfortabel - tolles Bett. Das Haus liegt in einer ländlichen Gegend, die ruhig und hat viele natürliche Schönheit und zwei schöne / freundliche Hunde. Perfekt für Familien und andere wollen mit Einheimischen in einer anderen Einstellung zu bleiben. Das Essen war fantastisch und sehr zu empfehlen, vor allem nach der langen Wanderung auf den Vulkan. Daniel kann auch helfen, die Dinge und empfehlen zu tun. Ich würde nicht zögern, wieder hier zu bleiben. Sie könnten hier für eine lange time.

We hadden echt een geweldige tijd verblijf in Papaki huis met Daniel en zijn ouders! Na een periode van intensief reizen was dit de beste plek om te verblijven voor slechts om te ontspannen, genieten van de prachtige omgeving en knuffelen met de honden. Het ligt ver van de turistarea. De kamer is geweldig, een groot bed en een stapelbed, hoge ceeling en lichte kleuren. De badkamer is voorzien van een douche, ook geweldig met handdoeken inbegrepen. Theresa, Daniels moeder, is prachtig. Onze Spaanse is niet zo goed en ze, en Daniel, was erg geduldig en behulpzaam bij ons, dus de Spaanse een stuk verbeterd na een verblijf hier. Theresa bereid vers sap voor ons elke ochtend en haar keuken is geweldig. Samen met haar en Daniel, we maakten ons eigen mozzarella en had een pizzanight! En op een dag maakte ze traditionele dessert voor ons om te proeven, heerlijk! We hebben veel van onze ene maaltijden en de keuken is volledig uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Daniel was een geweldige gastheer. Hij hielp ons met het vervoer op het eiland, gaf ons goede informatie over waar te gaan / eten en ging zelfs met ons op voor een wandeling naar de watervallen! We hielden van alles over deze plek, zoveel dat we er uiteindelijk vijf nachten! Oh en de honden, Tango en Maya zijn zo leuk en lief. Als we op een dag terug te gaan naar Isla de Ometepe, is dit de plek waar we zouden verblijven. Wij aanbevelen anderen om hier te verblijven !!

A lovely stay! Quiet and peaceful. Great for animal lovers.

A really nice and quiet place surrounded by fruit plantations. It's nice to sit in the front yard having conversations with Daniel, his mother or his friends occasionally coming over and if you have any questions regarding the places around or any activity everybody is well informed and eager to help you. The food you can have with them is fresh prepared and tastes really good.

Casa de Papaki es un gran lugar para alojarse. Me sentí como en casa durante mi viaje. Daniel es muy acogedor y su madre es un ángel. No cambiaría nada

Daniel es una persona muy amable y nos ayudó a lo largo de nuestra estancia en la isla. También apreciamos sus padres que son muy amables.

Mon séjour à Ometepe dans la casita de Cindi à été bien au-delà de mes espérances. L'île est magnifique, les gens souriants et gentils, l'eau rafraîchissante et la maison propre et pratique. Il n'en reste pas moins que c'est l'extrême disponibilité et efficacité dont a fait preuve Cindi qui ont rendu ce séjour extraordinaire . Même au moment où nous nous sommes embarrés dehors, le dimanche de Pâques, à 8h am, elle a réussi à trouver quelqu'un en 15 minutes pour venir nous ouvrir! Je recommande grandement cette location ! J'y retournerais sans hésiter.

The house was very nice in a beautiful and quiet area. We stayed for three nights, two couples, and just to let you know it's not very private inside the house. Cindi was very nice, always available and helpful!

Nous avons adoré le village de Mérida. Nous étions une famille de 5 avec de jeunes enfants. Nous y avons passé un mois. Nous avons tissé des liens avec quelques résidents. La maison est fonctionnelle et sécuritaire (barreaux, serrures, cadenas). La connexion internet est correcte. Il est bon de savoir que la maison est située à distance de marche de plusieurs restaurants et pulpérias (dépanneurs). Nous avons adorées le Buena vista et le Margarita. Les autobus se font rares. Prévoyez vos déplacements. Nous n'avions ni moto, ni auto et nous nous en sommes bien sortis. Notez que la maison est entourée de végétation. La faune et la flore sont abondantes. Nous avons tuer pas mal de scorpions et grosses araignées durant notre séjour. Cindi a fait traiter la maison aux insecticides durant notre séjour. Cindi a répondu rapidement à nos demandes tout en demeurant très discrète.

Cindi's casita had an amazing view of the lake nicaragua and we watched the spectacular sunset every night. The local staff Yossell and Hamitom were very nice and welcoming. They came right away when there's a problem in the house. The bed was comfortable and for two people, the house was spacious. There was no AC but the breeze from the lake kept us cool. The kitchen was spacious but had bare minimum equipments. The knifes were unusably dull and all the pans were pilling. The bathroom shower and sink had almost no water pressure, we ended up taking the bath with a bucket outside for the entire month. The road in Merida are unpaved and rocky with a few steep hills, it'll be a challenge to bike around. There are many small grocery shops which sells condiments and toilet papers..etc but it was hard to find much produce or dairy product. The power went out almost every day for a few hours. The wifi didn't work when the power's out, and didn't work well on somedays even with power. I think this casita is a great place for backpackers for a short stay who are going to be eating out most of the time, but it'll be a quite an adjustment for someone who's staying longer and actually live here for a few weeks. The nature here makes up for the hardship though: waking up with all kinds of birds chirping, monkeys howling, seeing neighbors' chickens, cows and horses and pigs roaming around the backyard. All in all, I had a great time in Ometepe.

Cindi was a N over the top host, arranging ferris,food, guides, massage...with all the most amazing people. You could ask for more with her simple casita over looking the lake and a amazing view of the valcano! Will definitely be back. Thanks Cindi

Maison propre et spacieuse. Cuisine bien aménagée. Excellents services de l'équipe de Cindi sur le terrain. La disponibilité de 2 bicyclettes nous semblait un avantage certain or, la condition des routes en cet endroit reculé rendait difficile les randonnées à bicyclette. Terrain très privé, lieu tranquille et paisible et de magnifiques couchers du soleil vous y attendent. Pour s'y rendre, suivez le conseil de Cindi et faites des arrangements avec Adolfo.

Den lilla casita av Cindi är stor! Beläget vid sjön, ger det en mycket avkopplande plats. Restauranger är närliggande och Cindi försett oss med massor av information om aktiviteter i närheten. Ett tips, om du gillar att simma i sjön, är det enklaste tillgång på restaurang cabillatas del mar (vid casita är också möjligt men mindre bekväm)

Beautiful place! Perfect to chill out.

Las habitaciones muy cómodas y limpias. El área común grande y espaciosa. Las personas que están a cargo de las instalaciones son muy amables y gentiles. El desayuno muy rico. Está justo al lado del puerto de San José del Sur por lo que es muy conveniente si el viajero puede ajustarse a los limitados viajes del ferry. Sin duda regresaría.

Basic room but great value for money

Lindas hotel is very near where the ferry arrives, which was great. The room was very clean and the beach is a few steps away. There are hammocks to chill in the entrance. The breakfast is a typical one, very deliscious. Although we didn't know we had breakfast included, so a good surprise there. We would have loved to chat a bit more with linda, she seemed very busy so we missed that. All in all a relaxing stay and worth the money.

Very happy with our stay at Linda's place. Location is perfect to arrive and leave the island, right at the port of San Jose del Sur. However her family did not speak english, they were very friendly and happy to help us! Other reviews mention there is no WiFi, but we had a fast and reliable connection. Good value for your money, we would stay there again!

Great hosts - wonderful and helpful people who have found a local guide to bring us to volcanoes, offered a motorbike, etc. Place itself is super clean, better than expected wifi, new A/C. Location is good once you have a motorcycle/car but else there is not much to do/eat/see in the town itself (compared to Moyogalpa). But once you have that figured out it is a short ride to the volcanoes, waterfall, lakes etc.

The staff that took care of me where excellent. They made me feel right at home and made my stay go from great to excellent. The room was spotless and the breakfast was fantastic. I would highly recommend staying at Linda's place.

I suggest staff gets more experience regarding activities around the Island/ and have maps available. Maybe owner get's them acquainted with the various communities to allow for a better interaction with guests. The breakfast and coffee was great and the room was very comfortable and clean. Surprised how quiet the area is.

Great arrival point when going to Ometepe- couple hundred metres from the ferry. Wonderful hosts and all round great accomodation! Breakfasts were delicious,hosts very thoughtful & friendly! Great food to be had within 3 minute walk in two directions. Enjoyed our stay at Hotel Toburon Dulce! Thanks

Linda was kind and patient with us and very good at communicating with our family and communicating expectations. She moves out of the house so that you can move and lives in the apartment next door.

Listing was accurate. Provided copious information on island and helped arrange different excursions.

Linda was very welcoming and accommodating and the beach casita was lovely! It's in a great location and has beautiful views of both the beach and Linda's well-maintained tropical garden. We had a great time staying on Ometepe and Linda helped us find a number of great activities to occupy our time and see the island. The one piece of advice I'd offer any travelers to Nicaragua is to bring a decent set of ear plugs. The Casita is next to a restaurant and the beach is quite popular and there are birds and dogs that seem to arise right at 5am, it can get really loud with all the windows open to capture the breeze. This was not unique to Linda's casita, we experienced this everywhere we went in Nicaragua.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Linda's Casita. In fact, we stayed longer than we planned. The casita is very nice. We loved being on the beach where we could walk, sit and read and watch the local young people play soccer and baseball. There are several restaurants within walking distance and a couple of small shops to buy food if you want to cook. Linda brought us fruit juice, Gallo pinto and dessert. She was a great hostess, Linda is very much a part of the local community and is willing to help with tours, transportation and plans.

Linda was a fantastic host!! From the communication before we arrived to arranging our transport from Granada to Ometepe - Linda took such great care of us! The house was beautiful, and Linda was a wealth of information - we asked a ton of questions and never felt like we were inconveniencing her. There was banana bread waiting for us in the fridge (a little birthday gift for me!) and Linda also shared some fresh made beans that were delicious. Linda also arranged for private massages in the house, provided by a local woman. I can't imagine a better host and will recommend Linda to anyone visiting Ometepe!

What a fantastic stay! The house, views and location are perfect...but what really made our stay was Linda's hospitality. From answering my many questions before our arrival, to arranging transfers to/from Ometepe, to helping with outings while we were there to helping when one daughter was sick and the other was celebrating her 7th birthday - she was amazing. We travel with our children to understand people and culture and relationships - I'm quite sure our stay at Linda's will always be part of our family's fondest memories.

Linda was very welcoming, available and knowledgeable about the area. The guest house is as perfect for a small space as you can imagine. We would go back in a heartbeat.

We couldn't have chosen a greater home away from home! We had a perfect time and Linda is the most helpful, organized and funny host we have ever met. She tells you about insider places and shows possibilities to support the local communities. Also her papaya juice and the banana bread for my birthday were awesome ! If you are looking for a place off the Lonely Planet this is the one!

Our stay at La Urraca Loca was excellent. Denis and Patricia are great hosts, who offer a lot of information about places to visit, transportation, tours, and an insight about the life on the island. The hostel is incredibly nice and they have little details that make you feel ar home. When on Ometepe this is a highly recommended, place to stay.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at La Urraca Local. Dennis and Patricia have really created an oasis in paradise. Tranquillo. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom which had a great breeze. Everything was incredibly clean and seemed very new. Dennis and Patricia were incredibly gracious with their time in helping us navigate the island - hiking, kayaking, salsa dancing, restaurants. They really made our trip. The spot is very peaceful but still with walking distance of several delicious restaurants. Would highly recommend!!

La Urraca Loca is a cool little hostel located off the main road in Balgue on the Maderas side of the island. Patricia and Dennis are welcoming and extremely helpful when it comes to booking tours and arranging transpo. I highly recommend the petroglyph/Finca Magdalena/jungle tour with Elistar (sp?) that Urraca Loca provides. The place itself is set in a residential area off the main road, however, it still feels secluded. The neighbors all have farm animals to watch while you're having breakfast. Get the breakfast- the homemade papaya jam is the JAM! My room was clean and furnished with a netted bed, side table and fan. On my last morning, four parrots stopped by the palm outside my window to bid me farewell. Great place! I'd definitely return! Besos! xo

Such a great hostel, really welcoming and homely. A great location, and we were given loads of great restaurant recommendations. It's also only a five minute walk to a great swimming spot in the lake. Thank you!

Logement au pied du volcan maderas et au coeur du village de balgue! Les hôtes sont serviables et tres chaleureux! Nous avons essayé la chambre privé et les "dorms ", les deux sont confortables et bien aménagés! Les hôtes vous transmettront tout ce qu'il faut savoir sur l'île et communique en espagnol, italien, français, anglais! Nous avons pu profitez d'une soirée "pizza", super sympa, chacun a pu faire sa propre pizza avec les conseils du chef italien!! Je recommande ce logement à tout le monde, vous ne serez pas déçu!

Stunning little place! This hostel in Balgüe is a really nice place to stay when you're traveling around Ometepe. Very clean facilities, right in the middle where all the nice restaurants are and not to far from the beach. Their dogs (and cute cat) are to adorable, and Patricia and Dennis are very warm and welcoming people. Highly recommend !!

Denis is an amazing person and host. He is truly a genuine guy and I enjoyed meeting him. This hostel he has built has so much unique character and the garden is fantastic. Location is perfect. It would have been nice to have access to a guest fridge however it is listed on the site that there is no kitchen service so my fault for not checking before hand. Overall a fantastic experience.

Espectacular todo genial la atención de patri y denis

Un excelente anfitrión muy comprensivo y solidario un digno representante de Nicaragua un pueblo muy cálido

Belle maison. Je suis resté dans la salle Papacito qui avait le plus d'un balcon pour se détendre. Mangues gratuites partout. Je suis allé faire un tour sur les chevaux de Hari - Hari était un grand maître. Les hôtes étaient très utiles dans la mise en place des transports, et de nous faire savoir où les activités et les restaurants étaient. Il est assez distant - si vous serez à pied autour de l'extérieur la nuit - apporter une lampe de poche. C'est un bel endroit sur une ferme, si les bugs sont à prévoir - mais whaddya faire? C'est une ferme! Je reviendrais.

WOW. Recently returned home after 4 weeks in Nica and have to say this place was my favorite. Took the Thursday ferry from Granada to Altagracia, and was unsure it was worth it to pay to go to the more southern part of Ometepe. Well, I'm here to tell you that it IS worth it!! The finca was absolutely beautiful, and I could enjoy the volcano from BED. Amazing. The finca is on the grounds of Hari's horses, which I would really recommend as the animals are well taken care of. And it doesn't stop with the horses. Expect to make friends with no less than ten dogs, cats, parrots, etc! The hosts couldn't be more charming, and the love they have for their property, their animals, and Nicaragua in general is completely contagious!! Go forth, travel, and enjoy!!!

My friends and I had a great time at Finca Montania Sagrada. I was traveling with a party of 4, so we rented out both the Papacito and Mamacita rooms. The Finca is beautiful, and my friends and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony of the Papacito room and looking out at all the fireflies in the fields. Would highly recommend having Marilena/Hari/Mirka arrange for taxis to/from the Finca. The complimentary breakfast is also delicious and generous. Would also highly recommend eating a meal or two down at Margarita's Bar... really excellent food for only $3-4 USD! Horseback riding with Hari's Horses was another great highlight. My friend and I went on a ride with Carlos, and we were able to see the forests, great views of both volcanos, and even went down to the beach for some cantering. I had pretty minimal experience with horseback riding, but I had a great time! Thanks Marilena, Hari, and Mirka for hosting us!

Great place to stay in Ometepe Island! Beautiful rooms with an amazing view! Mica and Hari were great hostesses! If you are planning to stay in the the middle of nowhere to relax and have a great time this is the place!

Aangekomen Finca Montania Sagrada was een avontuur op zich! De finca is een steile rockende weg, maar zodra je aankomt bij de top u bent aangekomen op een prachtige oase! De locatie is afgelegen maar zodra je naar buiten en beginnen met het verkennen er is zoveel moois te zien! Het is een mooie kant van het eiland! Het ontbijt was zo mooi in de ochtend. De familie die het beheert is Italiaanse zodat u een voorproefje van Italië in de ochtend! Over het algemeen echt een geweldige ervaring net voor te bereiden op de steile klim!

Belle chambre, vues étonnantes. Belles et aimables hôtes. Tout était comme annoncé et puis certains. Hari et Marilena et de leur personnel et les animaux étaient tellement amusant d'être autour. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié la façon dont ils ont organisé notre transport direct de l'aéroport à San Jorge et de Moyogalpa à leur place. J'espère revenir à Ometepe et je serais ravi d'avoir une chance de rester ici encore.

I had a wonderful stay in the Papacito room at the Finca Montania Sagrada. The grounds are just gorgeous, truly even more spectacular than the photos can convey. The room is very clean and comfortable with a lovely balcony with stunning views. And the hosts and employees at the finca are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food is also very good! I loved having the horses and dogs and parrots around and only regret that I didn't stay for longer.

We really enjoyed our stay at Finca Montania Sagrada! It was a lovely place, quiet and lots of animals! We spent most of our visit exploring the island but it was quite peaceful when we were at the Finca. We definitely visit again!

A lovely B&B in a slightly secluded location, but walking distance from the main road with restaurants. Very nice hosts and staff, and luxury interior. Be aware that there are two loud but friendly dogs, and you will see some interesting insects due to the location. Overall a great experience. :)

What a VIEW!!! Like other travellers have written, you almost feel like staying on the balcony all day. However, Ometepe is a beautiful island with many interesting activities on offer. Jonathan and Roslyn are great hosts and are always willing to help organize activities and transportation. As a woman travelling alone, I always felt super safe. I was afraid of renting a scooter (with good reason as I later saw someone wipe out), but there are many REALLY good restaurants within reasonable walking distance. Without your own wheels taxi expenses can add up, but the location is totally worth it.

Very nice stay there. The room is big, very good litter and everything is so clean. Good breakfast served under our own porch. Amazing view of the volcano. Close to very good restaurants ! Try El Bamboo, the churrasco is so good, and staff very nice ! Roslyn and Jonathan are too :) Totally recommended and would like to stay there longer. Thanks ! PS: when you are on the rocky road, don't miss the sign "4 elements" on your right !!

Very nice home lost in the nature. Owners were very helpful to organize trips. Perfect for famylies

Roslyn and Jonathan are wonderful hosts who made sure we had everything we needed! Their place is in a beautiful location and if we didn't have an island to explore, I'm sure we would have been quite happy just relaxing on the porch and watching the ever changing view of the volcano and the lake. Everything was even better than we anticipated! The breakfast each morning was delicious and everyone was so kind and helpful. If we make it back to this part of the world, we will definitely want to stay here again!

Roslyn is a very good-natured host. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. The house is located in a quiet place with a gorgeous scenic view of the volcano. Breakfast was made every morning, which was more than pleasant. This place was also helpful on outdoor activities.

La chambre est très clean et très agréable d'un haut standing. Les propriétaires sont disponibles et l'accueil fut plaisant. Pour y accéder ça peut être un peu compliqué par ses propres moyens. A refaire, j'aurais directement contacté Ros pour qu'elle nous organise un transport aller et retour. Le ptit dej est inclus et les dames de service sont très gentilles et la cuisine bien équipée! Pas trop loin des points d'intérêt de l'īle en scooter. Une jolie adresse à recommander !

Roslyn & Jonathan's place was amazing! The view and sunset in the hammock is second to none and they're staff is incredible! Even when my dirtbike had gotten a flat tire and they went out of they're way to help me out. Thanks guys, hope to visit again soon!

Awesome place , highly recommend , amazing views , excellent food , really nice people , u will not regret.

We had an incredible stay at Totoco! The views from the casa are breathtaking, and the house itself is lovely (as explained in the listing you are off-grid in the jungle, but we had no issues with the compost toilet or the solar power, and no problem dealing with the various bugs). The staff went above and beyond to recommend and help book activities and taxis on the island. When we weren't out exploring we were relaxing in our private rooftop pool, in the hammock or at the main lodge bar. Service at the bar and restaurant can be slow, but that's island life and we were in no rush. Also, the walk up to Totoco from Balgue is long and steep, so we relied on taxis which add up quickly, but it was more than worth it for this little slice of paradise! Meals are also on the pricier side compared to restaurants in the local town, but the food was delicious and all used fresh local ingredients, and you have the convenience of not taking a taxi. I would happily recommend this casa to friend, and would love to return!

Amazing place, rent a motorcycle to get around.

Wonderful stay here. Unreal view and beauty. Loved every min of our stay. Would definitely return.

The host canceled this reservation 29 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Beautiful place with a great view. Rooms were nice, clean and the site itself was beautiful. Very relaxing atmosphere, especially after a long hike. The staff were great and the owners we're very nice/accommodating. One of the highlights during our trip to Nicaragua!

If you're thinking of booking a stay here, do yourself a favor: Book it. The pool is absolutely magical, with a great view of the the sunset. The rooms are spacious, clean and beautiful, and the people are beyond lovely.

Beautiful place with excellent food and delightful staff. Definitely worth the tril

Right on the lake, beautiful sunset views of the volcano. Everyone was so so lovely, welcoming and helpful. This hostel is simple, if you would like to get away from towns and just relax for a couple days this would be the perfect place to do so. Option of private rooms or a 6 bed dorm available. Restaurant also available. Beds were comfortable with fans. Although the treck from Moyogalpa is around 1.5-2 hours on mopeds, with the end 25mins on a horrible dirt/rock. Would recommend though keep in mind only of you are aftet 'getting away'!

Mycket bra! Det sover som ett barn, skakats av kväkande grodor ... Pssst: De Repochatas är läcker! Tack !!

It was my perfect getaway, very peaceful and serene. It is right by the lake with views of both volcanoes. I was there for three nights and the entire family took care of me very well. The breakfast was delicious and every meal they make for you is prepared fresh from scratch. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet retreat.

Ce séjour sur l'île d'ometepe restera un de nos plus beau souvenirs au nicaragua. L'auberge, dans le petit village de merida, offre une vue splendide sur le lac et les volcans. Le coucher de soleil dans le hamac est un moment à ne pas rater. Maria propose plusieurs plats que nous avons goûté et qui sont excellents, de meme que les petits déjeuners copieux et authentiques ! Nous recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit plein de charme et habité par la bonne humeur de toute la famille !

Nestor, Maria och Maria E. var mycket gästvänliga. De var mycket uppmärksam vid alla tidpunkter och behandlade oss som familj och det är vad vi ville ha. Oslagbart pris-kvalitet, hälsosamma och naturliga miljö, lokal mat utmärkt !! Tack Marias för god organisk och lokal mat! Nestor informerat oss om vi behövde och alltid besvaras i tid och timme. Definitivt en rekommenderad och härlig plats. Nestor, Mary E. och Mary var mycket välkomnande. De var verkligen uppmärksam på oss och behandla oss som en de familj! Precis vad vi var väntade. Kvalitet pris formidabel natur och omgivning jordnära, Lokala utmärkt mat !!! Tack för det goda Marias lokal och hälsosam mat. Nestor gav ius all info vi behövde och jag alltid svarade på våra samtal och meddelande mycket snabbt. Utan tvekan en fantastisk och tillråda ställe att bo.

Los choyocos är en ren och bekväm komma undan. Familjen och personalen gå ut om deras sätt att du känner dig bekväm och tillgodose dina behov. Även om det är lite långt från huvudbryggan de kan ordna alla aktiviteter och du kan gå i din egen takt. Frukost ingår och super välsmakande och fyllning. Sammantaget ett bra ställe och en stor familj!

El lugar era bueno y el personal amable. La habitación era cómoda. Muy poco profesional que pidieron más dinero cuando llegué y dije que el sitio Airbnb no me había cargado lo suficiente para dos personas. Esto es a pesar de ser claramente mi reserva para dos personas. No valía la pena el argumento y la animosidad para mí, así que pagan, pero era muy poco profesional.

Very good service, it provided everything we need. The place is very nice

The place is absolutely beautiful. It's up a hill that is kinda challenging on a scooter but worth it. Animals and greens everywhere. Raining mangos from the trees. Amazing view of conception volcano in the outside dining area. Hammocks everywhere. Although BEWARE, the host charges a lot more on airbnb than if you pay on the spot. Communication with host and reception is rally bad, they didn't understand what airbnb was or that I had paid online already. Apart from that, this place was a steal for 23$USD! I fully recommend it if you can somehow bypass airbnb.

Fantastic hosts, prettier setting than in the pictures! Peaceful and quiet, great local experience and very welcoming. Wifi is spotty but we didn't mind. Would highly recommend renting scooters or a motorcycle for a multi-Day rental while you're there so you can get around easily. Great experience!

This family makes you feel very welcome and Araselli cookes delicious meals. The area is very rural and internet is very slow. You probably want to hire a motorbike to get around. I would like to be there again if I have holidays. If you're racing the FyA it's a bit inconvenient. The room is good though.

Although we never met Christian, the ladies who welcomed us to the airbnb were kind and helpful. They cooked us dinner and arranged a scooter rental (which was super fun and I recommend!). The room is bare-bones but totally comfortable, with a few fans that we found very welcome in the heat. I'd recommend this home to anyone looking for something inexpensive and rural.

This was an amazing place to stay in Ometepe! It's quiet and beautiful, and the host is extremely accomodating. I cannot recommend this stay more.

It s a nice place near the lake. Everybody is very friendly. The kitchen is perfect and the room too. It s a very great location. Thanks for everything.

This was an off the beaten path gem. Hosts were super friendly helpful and accommodating. New construction and clean interior. For an extra cost they provided delicious authentic meals. The walk from the bus stop was tranquil and scenic. Safe with a great community feel.

Pasamos la Semana Santa en Ometepe Guest House. Christian y su familia son encantadores, siempre atentos, dando consejos y ofreciendo su ayuda. La casa está en el Barrio Sacramento, alejada de Moyogalpa y a 2km de la carretera principal. Llegar puede ser un poco costoso. La habitación con baño privado es muy tranquila, básica, espaciosa y muy limpia. Se puede usar la cocina o pedir el almuerzo del día que ofrecen (muy rico). Lugar ideal para desconectar (wifi funciona a medias) y conocer la vida rural de Nicaragua. Si te gustan los caballos, es el mejor lugar para aprender y montar con la gente local!

We were greeted by Cristian's ain't Gennie, who immediately showed us around and made sure everything was to our liking (which it was). She cooked us a delicious dinner of a whole fish each, with plantains, fruit, rice, and lemonade drink. The fish was fresh from the lake and the meal was oh so rejuvenating. Breakfast was also delicious! (Be aware that dinner and breakfast are not included in the price). The place is very isolated. We walked quite a ways, but a nice man driving a horse cart gave us a ride most of the way down the side road. If you don't want to hike with all your things, hire a taxi or some other kind of transportation. This would be the perfect place to come and stay for a week if you just want to get away. It is not near a town or any stores. You can buy dinner and breakfast (recommend!), or bring things and use the kitchen to cook. Overall a really wonderful , calm experience with very kind people.

Wonderful house, breathtaking views & a garden full of wild life. Pablo is extremely helpful and the house is a great alternative for groups wanting a bit of luxury for a low price!!

The space was exactly as described and the a/c was amazing
