My 3 friends and I had a wonderful experience staying at the guesthouse in Balgue and found it to be the perfect combination of beauty, tranquility, nature, and comfort. The location is relatively easy to get to and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about Omatepe. Staying at the guesthouse was a unique and memorable experience and I hope to return soon!

Amazing experience, best airbnb experience from all the ones we booked in Nicaragua, truly a once in a life time experience for anyone needing a break from the corporate world! One night here alone can put life back into perspective. I totally recommend it! Chris and Meghan are AMAZING!!

Great stay! Missy was very welcoming and helpful in giving us tips and setting up activities for us to do on the island! Getting to and from the house is a little tricky without a car in the dark so plan on staying at the house after the sun goes down. Overall it was an amazing experience and the house is lovely! Highly recommend it!

Missy & Erwing were great hosts! Missy helped us arrange a taxi pick up and met us on the farm. The room itself was beautiful. Exactly as described. It is very secluded and we were happy to have the two dogs sleeping on our porch each night! Breakfast was delicious. The views were amazing. When we needed anything Erwing & Missy came to assist us within minutes. We couldn't have asked for more accommodating hosts. Be careful walking back to the house at night. The road is dark and not lit. We definitely recommended renting a motorcycle or moped for safe and easy travel.

Nous avons eu un très bon moment dans la maison Jungle. Tout le monde était si belle et allait bien sortir de leur façon de nous aider. La maison est si belle, très privé et luxueux. Les chiens sur la propriété sont tellement magnifique. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux. Nous ne pouvons pas dire assez de notre expérience.

casa preciosa, preciosa granja, increíble desayuno con frutas frescas y verduras de la huerta. Missy fue muy útil cuando planeamos nuestras actividades para la estancia. La puesta de sol desde la planta superior no puede ser mejor.

Wow! Coup de cœur!!! Aimants de la nature vous serez ravis! Magnifique "jungle casa", magnifique cuisine extérieur, magnifiques déjeuners et magnifique acceuil chaleureux de Megan qui a su répondre à tous nos besoins! Même les géantes araignées sont magnifiques! Vous vous ferez 2 gentils amis canins qui sont tout simplement adorables. Nous serons de retour assurément avec nos enfants!

Melissa was absolutely fantastic during our stay. She ensured our comfort and answered every single question we had. She was so knowledgable and friendly and is truly an asset at the guest houses.

Der Raum wurde genau wie beschrieben und die a / c war erstaunlich

Excelente y muy bonita la piscina con vista al lago!

Cindi and her staff were truly prepared for our arrival. She provided an articulate email with a list of numerous attractions around the island and gave us clear direction on which ferry to take with our rental car. She even had Hamilton (one of her team members) sit on the main road with a sign indicating our name. It was a wonderful welcome and a clear indication of where to turn (which could have been a bit difficult). The house was great in every way, and the view of the lake was extraordinary. Our two days/nights on Ometepe Island were our absolute favorite experiences during our nine-day adventure in Nicaragua. We would HIGHLY recommend that you stay at Cindi's place and enjoy all the activities. We loved the ziplines, rode Hari's horses, and kayaked. Frankly, our service at restaurants in Nicaragua was horrible, but our two favorite places were on Ometepe - Mama Mia's Pizzeria and another place that we can't remember the name (sorry). By the way, if you're renting a car to go to Ometepe Island, BE SURE to rent an SUV. Some roads aren't just "dirt" roads - some are full-on rocks!

What a great little space right on the lake on the magical island of Ometepe. Cindi was great in helping arrange transportation. The Casita served as our home base for kayaking, volcano hikes, and other explorations. We were very happy and comfortable there!

casita de Cindi fue una experiencia increíble. Aislada y tranquila, con vistas al lago inmerso en la vida salvaje y la naturaleza de la isla. Para una familia de cuatro o un grupo activo que se encuentra perfectamente con todos los recursos que necesitamos para explorar la isla. cocina y personal amable / accesible bien surtido. Altamente recomendado.

Watching sunsets over the lake from the hammocks was the best. Yossel (caretaker) is super helpful and efficiently cleaned the casita for 200 cordobas any time we asked. She did laundry by hand for 100 more cordo (helpful since we stayed 2 weeks). She was also patient with my growing Spanish vocabulary. Cindi was very responsive before and during our stay, arranged transport, and is prepared for all the eventualities of developing Nicaragua's infrastructure. She even has a water tank behind the house that's filled from her personal well that provided running water the entire time a public water pipe was being fixed. Her tech guy also got the internet back up within 2 hours when it went down early one morning. Wifi is a reasonable speed most days, and we lacked nothing in the kitchen. There's a coffee grinder and French press! Previous guests had left pepper, paprika, basil, and chilli sauce, though what's left will alway vary, of course. Lots of small places to buy staples and eat great food nearby if you strike out a little ways. The food at Thalassa (Greek/island food) is amazing (several veggie options) and the owners lovely. Wander a little further to Imperio too! Do check out Caballitos Del Mar for kayaking and the menu, as well as Loana's for tastier-than normal Nica and fusion food, and if you're a fairly hearty cyclist (I hadn't for many months and it was a hard ride but ok), the woman who owns Sunshine Comedor (Bethania) is awesome to chat with in Spanish for practice.

This is the 43:d place we have stayed in since we left our home country in August to travel around the world, and its definitely one of the best. We could have stayed here forever. We absolutely loved the hammocks, the view over the lake, the sunset... The house is in a village with some small restaurants and thats it. But if you want a really peaceful vacation close to the nature - this is the place. We will keep this place in our hearts. We didnt met Cindi in person but the communication with her has been excellent. She responds very quickly to everything. And a really sweet woman, Yossel, came by a few times and we also had the opportunity to eat her delicious food twice. We really hope we can come back one day.

This casita was the best place to stay in Ometepe! From the moment we got off the ferry, our driver Adolfo, was there waiting for us. We were then welcomed by the entire crew upon arrival at the Casita. The views were spectacular, the house was perfect: 3 separate bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. My favorite was the front porch overlooking the lake and volcanoes equipped with hammocks and rocking chairs. There are a lot of ants, but you are in the jungle, and they did not bother us. The cows, horses, chickens roam the yard freely, so don't be startled when you hear them early in the morning. Cindi was very prompt at answering questions for us about the island, and arranging meals and transportation. Everyone in Merida was so welcoming and friendly. We (4 females) walked around the town, both street side and shore side and received nothing but friendliness. If you are looking to live "like a local", I highly recommend Cindi's Casita! The experience cannot be beat!

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!

Great place to stay, super host made challenging trip possible & fun with recommendations and introductions to the right people.

We have done many air B&B rentals and Linda's house is the best by far. Linda was an incredible host and went above and beyond what we would hope for in a rental. We are normally not planners -- we come up with our next day's plan the night before. We emailed our request for reservation the night before (not thinking she would actually respond) but she responded within minutes with very thorough info on how to get to the island, the ferry costs, what the casita is like etc. She made reservations for us on the ferry as well so everything went really smoothly. We got there and the kitchen was stocked with eggs and some vegetables. Linda is just delightful and made us feel welcome immediately. Our 2 year old son who normally shys away from new people took to her immediately. Linda was full of information on different things that we can do around the island with a 2 year old, what the best food is around town, where to get fresh fruits and vegetables. The first day, she stopped the vegetable truck and we stocked up on all sorts of delicious fruits and veggies. The casita itself was spotless, beautiful and comfortable. It had a kitchen where we cooked up all sorts of meals which saved lots of money. It was enough room for the three of us. The surrounding garden is just gorgeous with flowers, and tons of organic veggies and herbs to pick and add to our cooking. Linda also has 2 very friendly dogs which added to our experience. Our days passed easily with lots of swimming in the lake that were steps outside our door. The lake is gorgeous -- it felt like paradise with the surrounding jungle behind us, Concepcion and Maderas on both ends, horses and cows visiting the lake and bathing. The lake was so shallow and perfect for a 2 year old to splash around safely. The nights were peaceful, with frogs and crickets chirping and the wind dancing with the coconut palms. I can't express it words, but this place was total paradise. It was exactly what we were looking for after hot, sticky Granada, and touristy San Juan Del Sur. We could have stayed here forever -- unfortunately, we already had plane tickets booked for the Corn Islands, otherwise, we could have easily spent another week here. On our last days there, Linda, being the amazing host that she is baked us the most delicious banana bread and helped satisfy our chocolate craving by having the near-by restaurant Los Cocos (the place to go to for incredible grilled fish) whip up some amazing fresh chocolate from the organic cocoa beans grown on the island. Our son to this day is still asking for Linda's banana bread. Overall we beyond loved Linda's place. We can't wait to return to this wonderful paradise and we feel so thankful that Linda has helped build some beautiful memories of Nicaragua.

My friend and I loved staying at Linda's House!! She was not only extremely hospitable, but also very helpful in planning what we wanted to do during our stay. The house was beautiful and situated at the end of the Santo Domingo beach so it was very quiet and peaceful. We only stayed for two days, so we decided to hike up to San Ramon Falls w/ Tony ($35 for the two of us) one day. We had to pay a guy for a ride there which was a bit pricey b/c nobody else was available, but it was worth it!! I wish we spoke more Spanish so we could converse with Tony better, but it was fine. Definitely eat the guapote at the family-run restaurant across the street, Los Cocos. Cheapest (& best) option of the two we tried. We loved staying at Linda's and would recommend the place to anyone!

L'hôte annulé cette réservation 15 jours avant l'arrivée. Ceci est un affichage automatisé.

Linda ist großartig! Sie hat enorme Erfahrung und Verbindung mit Ometepe und ihr Haus ist ideal für eine Familie, die einen erholsamen, authentische Erfahrung auf einer schönen Insel. Die Gärten und die süßen Hunde sind ein Bonus! Linda war leicht verfügbar, uns zu helfen, den Bereich navigieren und Empfehlungen für Aktivitäten und Sehenswürdigkeiten machen. Wir werden zurückkommen!!

Cute and cozy little cottage was a nice place to stay for a couple of days. Has a bit of a secluded beach feel, but is also across the street from a bar and many local Nicas play soccer in front pretty regularly. a nice place to spend some days enjoying and exploring Ometepe

A truly enjoyable experience for a wide range of travelers. What makes Linda's casita so wonderful is the great lengths she will go to ensure your stay is as seamless as can be (incl helping arrange travel to/from the island, great recs for local guides and restaurants, etc etc). The rides she helped us get were far cheaper than what we initially found on our own and were very trustworthy! Not only that, but as you can read in her listing she is very involved and active in the community, and upon us probing her she was more than happy to provide a great deal of insight to us on what life in Nicaragua and Ometepe has been like for her as well as many of her neighbors who are her friends. Otherwise, the little things that Linda does to make your stay on the island really come together to round out a fantastic immersion into island life within her cosy and well built premises. For example the garden, helping with getting things like eggs, her two friendly dogs that keep watch, and how clean her casita is kept. The island itself has a lot of character, and staying at Linda's was 100% relaxing because we always knew we had a clean, secure and comfortable place to return to after a day's worth of adventure. Stayed for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Come and you won't regret it!

El lugar de Linda es como un segundo hogar. El apartamento privado, situado en frente de la playa, es muy grande, limpio y bien amueblado si quieres cocinar. Linda le permite recoger hierbas de su hermoso jardín, y si no te apetece cocinar, hay varios restaurantes y tiendas cerca. Linda es una señora muy servicial y generosa, no sólo con sus invitados, sino también con la comunidad. Así que si puedes traer útiles escolares para los estudiantes y maestros de Ometepe, tendrás la suerte de probar uno de los famosos postres de Linda. Ps Los perritos de la casa son lindos!

My husband and I spent our honeymoom at Linda's. We rented the smaller of the two houses, the one bedroom. It was comfortable, well equipped, and had beautiful views from the living spaces inside. Every morning I sat in the rocking chair having my hot tea watching the sun come up. Some mornings horses passed by on the beach. We also jumped in the water every morning as the beach is right outside her gate while most other accommodations are a walk or better from the beach. We also cooked breakfast every morning with fresh eggs and herbs from her garden. And some mornings she brought us fresh made juice, cocunut water, and gallo pintos. Yum! Linda is a most gracious host. She took care of all our taxi arrangements and all other arrangements while we were on Ometepe. We rented bikes, 4-wheelers, and kayaked. We went on a guided hike to the top of Madeira volcano. There are fresh water springs to swim in and a hike to a waterfall, all within walking or a short bike ride away. And Linda helped us everyday to navigate through these activities. There is also a grocery store within a 5 minute walk. It has fresh fruit, eggs, and fresh made organic chocolate. Linda has 3 wonderful dogs. Very friendly and loving. It's private and centraly located. The kitchen also helps keep spending down. And it was fun to cook with local veggies and herbs from the garden. It's perfect for a romantic getaway. Or a family vacation. We can't say enough and can't wait to go back!!

Excelente relación calidad/precio. El cuarto es amplio y con camas cómodas. Muy buena atención

Roslyn et Jonathan sont des hôtes merveilleux qui est assuré que nous avions tout ce dont nous avions besoin! Leur place est dans un bel endroit et si nous ne disposions pas d'une île à explorer, je suis sûr que nous aurions été très heureux simplement se détendre sur la terrasse et regarder la vue en constante évolution du volcan et le lac. Tout était encore mieux que prévu! Le petit déjeuner chaque matin était délicieux et tout le monde était si gentil et serviable. Si on retourne à cette partie du monde, nous voulons certainement rester ici encore!

The property is stunning and the home is absolutely beautiful. Make sure to eat the breakfast!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im 4 Elementos viel - Roslyn und Jonathan sind super freundlich und zuvorkommend und hat uns gut gefallen bekommen sie und die Gegend kennen zu lernen! Der Blick auf den See und den Vulkan von der großen privaten Veranda mit Couch und Hängematte war atemberaubend und das Bett selbst war super bequem, ich fast nicht aus dem Bett zu bekommen! Aber natürlich haben wir, weil die Insel Spaß zu erkunden.

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. :)

Muy agradable estancia allí. La habitación es grande, muy buena camada, y todo está tan limpio. Un buen desayuno servido bajo nuestro propio porche. impresionante vista del volcán. Cerca de restaurantes muy buenos! Trate de El Bambú, el churrasco es tan bueno, y el personal muy agradable! Roslyn y Jonathan son demasiado :) Totalmente recomendado y le gustaría quedarse allí más tiempo. Gracias ! PD: cuando se está en el camino rocoso, no se pierda el signo "4 elementos" en su derecho !!

The room is very clean and very nice to a high standard. The owners are available and the reception was pleasant. To access it can be a bit complicated on its own. A remake, I would have directly contacted Ros that we organize transport to and from. The ptit dej is included and the service ladies are very nice and well equipped kitchen! Not too far from the attractions in the island by scooter. A nice place to recommend!

Roslyn & Jonathan are two of the most friendly, helpful & accommodating people we have encountered so far on our trip. The room with the view of the volcano is simply unbeatable! The decor of the rooms were absolutely gorgeous and the shared kitchen was always clean and stocked with all of the necessities. Not to mention a fridge full of cold Tonas! We were provided with a fully detailed manual of things to do while Ometepe as well as menus for the neighbouring restaurants. This was a stay that was one of a kind & definitely memorable! Hopefully we will get a chance to come back in the future!

Absolutamente bellamente casa nueva con una vista perfecta del Volcán Concepción. Nos encantó el hecho de que toda la casa se agota por completo en la energía solar. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que se aloje en la isla.

Awesome guest house with a great view. Chris and his team definitely took care of us!

The Selvista-Guesthouse-Team did a really awesome job! We feel warmly welcome and loved to be guests at this beautiful and very special place on isla de ometepe! It is a good place to relax and enjoy the quietness of the nature. The really good breakfast helped us to start perfect in the day. If you want to have a dinner, you are just a few minutes away from the town or Melissa orders you some food at perhaps one of the best restaurants on the island! One of our favorite places of the entire travel trough Nicaragua! Don't miss it! Thank you so much!!!

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt im wunderschönen Mango House im Dschungel. Der Vulkanblick, vor allem vom Balkon im Obergeschoss, ist spektakulär. Verpassen Sie nicht den Sonnenuntergang von den Hängematten dort! Melissa und Erwing waren sehr hilfsbereit. Ich empfehle dringend, ihre vertrauenswürdigen Fahrer für den Bodentransport zu benutzen. Das Bauernfrühstück war jeden Tag fantastisch. Ich empfehle das für deine Ometepe Abenteuer!

Beautiful views and a TON of room! It was pleasant to stay on the farm and eat the fresh breakfast each morning. The staff was all very kind and helpful. A big thank you to Chris for getting the large spider from our room. There are LOTS of bugs but the place is kept clean. If you are up for quiet time in the wilderness then this place is for you!

Absolutely beautiful property! Megan is wonderful and super knowledgeable. The breakfast was delicious. Levis (for the maderas hike) and Lydia (massage) were both amazing - definitely ask the hosts to contact them on your behalf. We love the concept of the property and the positive impact on the environment. It is honestly more beautiful than pictured. They want to immerse you in the environment as much as possible. Keep in mind, you are in the middle of the jungle so there are all sorts of bugs. This is indoor outdoor living that will cure you of any phobias. There are perfect mosquito nets though, so there is nothing to actually be afraid of. Just a fun adventure. The room is immaculate.

Lo que un lugar increíble !!!! Melissa es una bendición. Hablamos quizás 5 palabras de español, pero Melissa era capaz de coordinar todo para nosotros. Motos, taxis y otros tipos de asistencia. Todo el personal in situ también son excelentes. Date un capricho y estancia en este lugar.

Das Baumhaus war eine willkommene und entspannende Umgebung. Mein Freund Caley und ich haben es wirklich geliebt, unsere Abende in den Hängematten zu hängen.

Die Treehouse Unterkunft war unglaublich und unqiue. Das Zimmer selbst wenn absolut schön und wir liebten den Sonnenuntergang über dem Vulkan vom Balkon beobachten. Die Gastgeber waren sehr hilfreich bei der Organisation von Fähren Reservierungen, Reiseleiter und Abendessen Lieferung direkt auf unser Zimmer! Wir waren ein wenig enttäuscht, dass wir nicht die Besichtigung der Farm angeboten wurden, wie in der Beschreibung versprochen. Wäre sehr interessant gewesen mehr über den Ort zu erfahren, und würden uns mehr "zu Hause" während unseres Aufenthaltes das Gefühl haben dazu beigetragen. Für 5 Sterne würden wir eine höhere Qualität Frühstück erwarten. Das verarbeitete Weißbrot Toast schien im Widerspruch zu der "Platte von verschiedenen frisch vom Bauernhof Frühstück Lebensmittel".

Excelente y recomendable

Los Chocoyos es un lugar perfecto para relajarse y disfrutar de la paz de Nicaragua y Ometepe, justo antes del lago, esta propiedad permite un verdadero encuentro con la familia de acogida, que también es muy amable y el atento a nuestras necesidades.

Buena ubicación si lo que busca es una caminata por el volcán cercano. Las comidas son deliciosas y asequibles. Los alojamientos son básicos, con un montón de errores y no la más limpia. Un buen lugar aislado para relajarse y disfrutar de la cultura local. Un taxi por ahí es muy caro ($ 30). Un guía local está disponible para la caminata. No hay que esperar un lugar muy limpio para alojarse, pero es lo que cabría esperar por $ 12 la noche.

Hostal muy tranquilo, con el Lago al lado y una buena vista de la naturaleza, pueden rentar Kayaks o Bicicletas e incluso venden comida para mayor facilidad. La hospitalidad es muy buena.

Amazing secret on Ometepe, buried within a local neighborhood on the waters edge with a beautiful view of the volcanoe. The rooms are small but not much time was spent in them anyways, so they did the job. Hammocks are strung everywhere making the place comfortable and enjoyable. The food is great, especially the freshly squeezed juices :). The owners and staff are also extremely friendly and willing to go out of their way to help you in any way they can. will definitely stay here again if we go back. Amazing find and memorable experience!!

Min vistelse på Hospadaje de Chocoyo var fantastisk! Fastigheten är perfektion. Lite avskilt och lite av en enhet från de andra attraktionerna i Ometepe men väl värt den extra resor. Vandrarhemmet är rätt upp på vattnet och omgiven av familjejordbruk. Så du kommer att vakna upp till ljudet av roosters jubel att hitta hästar, kor, höns och den bästa ön valparna betar i den grunda sjön. Det är fantastiskt. Det finns en täckt uteplats med picknickbord, och hängmattor att läsa eller umgås och njuta av utsikten. En nära promenad till Maderas, om vulkanen vandring är din grej. Det är inte för mycket runt fastigheten i vägen för butiker, restauranger etc., men en kyckling buss kommer på morgonen så är det bara att planera därefter. Bortsett från den fysiska egenskapen är vackra, personalen var fantastisk! Så vänliga och tillmötesgående. Om din spanska är så hemskt som min man är säker på att dela några skratt med dem som du snubblar genom samtal. De kokta oss frukost och middag varje dag. Middag var läckra och rimligt prissatta (prova stekt fisk !!). Det fanns alltid någon på fastigheten för att svara på frågor eller bara prata med. Hospadaje de Chocoyo var min favorit plats jag stanna i Nicaragua. Du kan verkligen sparka upp hälarna och slappna av, samtidigt utforska ön Ometepe. 10/10 skulle rekommenderar.

Vistelsen på Ometepe Island kommer att förbli en av våra vackraste minnen i Nicaragua. Vandrarhem i den lilla staden Merida, erbjuder en fantastisk utsikt över sjön och vulkaner. Solnedgången i hängmattan är ett ögonblick inte får missa. Maria erbjuder flera rätter vi smakade och är utmärkt, även till den rikliga och äkta frukost! Vi rekommenderar definitivt denna plats full av charm och bebos av gott humör av hela familjen!

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'!

Really amazing spot. Run by a Nicaraguan family. Wonderful people, wonderful location. Worth the price.

Congo fue un agradable refugio fuera del circuito turístico con anfitriones increíbles, habitaciones limpias y un gran servicio. Me sentí como en casa. Sin duda volvería. PD las micheladas eran fantásticas!

Zona espectacular cerca del volcán Maderas. Cerca de la cascada de San Ramón. Calidad del alojamiento y trato del personal excelente.

Juan and his sister are warm friendly hosts who speak fluent Spanish and English and are eager to cater to your every need. The on-site restaurant is reasonably priced and delicious. The rooms are comfortable but could benefit from mosquito netting as the place is not entirely sealed. We found the bathroom windows left open and closed them to avoid bugs, but the master bedroom has several small cut out windows that are basically holes high on the wall presumably to vent the restroom. These allow bugs in and cannot be closed so the addition of mesquito netting surrounding the beds would be a huge improvement. Overall the stay was quite enjoyable. The warmth of the staff is something you may miss after you leave. We felt like close friends and family throughout our stay.

Is a secure and relaxing place to stay, the only thing they are missing is the wifi inside the apartments everything else is great, great service great location.

I had a great time at La Peñita. Although a bit isolated, it is located on the main road and the island bus drops you off in front of the property. The room and bathroom were pretty rustic, but comfortable. Mark was very friendly and nice to chat with. He arranged a scooter rental, a hike up one of the volcanoes, and horseback riding for me during my stay. His mother-in-law also cooked delicious meals; breakfast is included and you can buy other meals for a few dollars. It's a good place for a relaxing, quiet stay.

J'ai vraiment aimé cet endroit! J'ai adoré le fait que c'était plus une maison qu'une auberge, et la nourriture que maman fabriquait était excellente. Mark est un gars super sympa qui discutera avec vous et vous fera sentir à la maison. Et ils avaient des chatons! Si vous voulez être juste sur le lac avec d'autres voyageurs, ce n'est peut-être pas votre meilleur pari, mais si vous voulez rester dans un endroit mignon dans la jungle, passez-vous là-bas.

L'hôte et le personnel était très attentionné, l'emplacement était central et facile à trouver.

Die Unterkünfte hier sind ausreichend und scheinen sich ständig zu verbessern. Mark, der Wirt, ist so großzügig mit seiner Zeit und wird sein Bestes tun, um sicherzustellen, dass du zu tun hast und alles auf deiner Liste sehen wirst. Er wird von seiner Frau und ihrer Familie unterstützt, die das echte Geschäft sind, echte örtliche Ometepe-Bewohner. "Mama", wie sie von allen bekannt ist, kocht Ihnen ein schönes und leckeres Frühstück täglich und auf Anfrage kann man ein Mittagessen für die Erkundung oder zusammen ein leckeres Abendessen auch. Sie werden auch auf Anfrage einen Wäscheservice anbieten. Während wir dort waren, sahen wir einige der erstaunlichsten Glühwürmchen in der Nacht. Es ist so, dass du mit guten Freunden dort kampierst. Wenn Sie nicht brauchen eine Menge von Annehmlichkeiten, ist dies der Ort zu bleiben. Auch auf Anfrage können Sie schnell glitzernden WiFi dort, wirklich eine Seltenheit auf der Insel. Also zum Schluss, kommen für die Firma und die WiFi. Du wirst auf der Insel kein besseres Geschäft finden.

Nous avons eu un grand temps ici, Mark et Lizette sont des hôtes amusants et utiles. La nourriture était si bonne! Ils triés un scooter pour nous, ainsi que quelques grands guides pour notre promenade jusqu'à Concepcion. Nous vous recommandons cet endroit. Vive, Michael.

We really enjoyed our time with Mark, and the food Mom cooks is so yummy. Our youngest had a small scooter crash and Mark was very kind and helpful getting her all the bandaids and help she needed. There are also cute kittens!

Nous vous recommandons fortement La Peñita ! Endroit familiale et chaleureux ! Nous n'avons fait que de bonnes rencontres ! La famille vit ici, mange avec nous et nous conseil grandement ! Maman est une excellente cuisinière ! Draps, serviettes et moustiquaires sont à votre disposition ! Sanitaire et chambre correct. Ambiance paisible. La maison est située à proximité des bus (juste devant). Merci à cette famille de nous avoir accueillies !

Mark was very friendly and helped us in every situation. I can recommend this host. The best we're the Meals.

Great room and great hosts in a nice, quiet part of Ometepe. Close to huge waterfall, ojo de agua, petroglyphics, and more.

My stay at Daniel's house was amazing, prefect! The house is very nice, with garden, pets and the volcano behind. In a very quiet area, 2hrs bus ride but totally worth it! Daniel and his mum Teresa were really nice, welcoming. Her mother cook very yummy lunch and diner. There were ready to help if needed. The room is same as described, big and spacious. I stayed more than I plan des and if I could, I would stayed even more there! I recommand!

The absolute perfect place to stay on the island. The farm and room looks even better than the pictures. Amazing property and the cutest/happiest puppies in all of Nicaragua. He booked our ferry for us as well as gave us a sunset tour that only a local could show us (we even were able to pick some fresh fruit from the trees along the way). The farm (with very high living standards) is so peaceful while also being within a 10 minute drive from all of the best restaurants on the island. Our favorite Airbnb after two weeks of travel around Nicaragua. Daniel was able to help us plan our stay to maximize our enjoyment of ometepe! Highly recommend (6 stars).

This is probably the best place to stay if you want to have a great time at Ometepe Island. Daniel and his mother are very friendly and helpfull. They do everything to make you feel comfortabel and at home. The room was perfectly clean and the beds were good as well. Daniel knows all the good spots of the island which really enhances the Ometepe experience!

Daniel went above and beyond to show me the sights and main attractions on ometepe. He took me on his motorcycle on a hike to a volcanic viewpoint and to a kayaking place and gave me a detailed map with places of interest. His mom is a great cook and I enjoyed talking with both of them about the history and culture of Nicaragua and ecological issues on the island. My stay was pleasant and quiet - ometepe is a place to relax and unwind or to engage in lots of outdoor activities. Thanks for being a great host!

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

We loved our stay at Daniel's with his parents, the room was big and had a private bathroom, the breakfasts were delicious and filling and Daniel was so helpful with telling us what activities we could do and how to get there. We hired bikes off him and he can also organise a scooter for you. Their pets were also the best, so cute and friendly! We sat on the porch and practiced our Spanish with Daniel and his mum, this was very helpful, Daniel also speaks English really well. This was one of our favourite stays!!

Great place to stay around Merida, hosts are incredibly friendly. Felt right at home

The property is more than you can hope for and Pablo, who helped us with check-in, was wonderful! He's fully emerged in the tourist industry and such a great resource! Thank you Pablo! Main house contains equipped kitchen, 2 indoor sitting areas (1 with an exquisite view and the other with a TV) and an outdoor patio area to enjoy the garden and view of the lake. Each bedroom is detached from main house. First bedroom is closer to the main house with queen bed, bug net, large bathroom, and walk in closet. We encountered an issue with the AC and ceiling fan but noticed a portable fan was provided. Unsure of what the problem was. Second bedroom: queen bed, bug net, small kitchen, small bathroom, sitting area, functioning AC, and small patio with more garden view. The actual property is large! Semi-inclined and partly-paved driveway with abundant gardens and trees. The view is spectacular from the main house. I do recommend bug spray for those who have issues with the outdoors. Lots of insects since you're fully surrounded by nature. There were lots of activities on the island and due to recent rains and road conditions a truck was necessary. I would totally rent the property again since we only stayed one night and had no idea how magical it is. Also, we encountered a pretty lengthy power outage and I'm assuming there is no generator on site because we sat in the dark for quite some time. Not sure if this is common on the island. Possibly good to ask! Enjoy!

Such a gorgeous, peaceful place to stay. We absolutely loved our time here. The gardens and farm are great to walk around and explore. We were able to see so many butterflies and birds. A close drive to restaurants in Balgue, the beach in Santo Domingo, and Ojo de Agua. But being nestled on the mountainside, we felt like we were the only house around,it was very quiet and private feeling. The staff was so thoughtful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We would definitely recommend this place to friends!

Das Haupthaus (ohne Betten) und die beiden Schlafhäuser liegen auf einem riesigen Anwesen zur alleinigen Nutzung in traumhafter, abgeschiedener Lage mit tollem Blick auf den See. Von 18-6 Uhr ist ein Sicherheitsmann auf der Anlage. In der sehr gepflegten Parkanlagen tummeln sich hunderte von Schmetterlingen um das Blumen Paradies. Pablo ist eine riesen Hilfe bei Tipps und Reservierung der Fähre! Das Schlafhaus direkt neben dem Haupthaus ist im besseren Zustand und für Nicaragua Verhältnisse luxuriös mit viel Platz, top Ausstattung und großem Bad mit warmem Wasser. Das zweite Haus ist etwas größer mit Küche allerdings etwas einfacher und nicht ganz so gepflegt. Das Waschbecken war defekt, wir konnten das Becken in der Küche nutzen. Es gibt einige Insekten und die Klimaanlage aus dem Wohnzimmer kühlt das Schlafzimmer nicht optimal. Das Haus ist ca. 20-30m von den Haupt Häusern entfernt und daher für Familien mit kleinen Kindern eher nicht geeignet. Vor Insekten sollte man keine Angst haben, da sich das Anwesen mitten in der Natur befindet! An einem Abend hatten wir auch mal eine Schlange auf der Terrasse. Insgesamt eine tolle Unterkunft mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!

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 house was lovely with amazing view and close enough to walk to restaurants all while still feeling like you are completely secluded in this beautiful place!

Efraim was a very welcoming host. He and his friend met us on motorcycles to greet us at the bus stop. They were both very friendly and polite. Efraim was extremely helpful in helping us figure out all the best places to go on the island and even helped us get good deals on renting things. It was great to have a local to help us get the most out of our trip to the island. The place itself was even better than described. It is definitely off the beaten path in a good way. You can really feel free to relax in nature surrounded by a beautiful plantan field, incredible wildlife, and the freshest air. Me and Julio both enjoyed our stay so much and highly recommend it for anyone who likes to be stay connected to nature.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the banana guest house for three nights and it was lovely! I will say that the location is a bit out there BUT it is definitely worth it. You can hear the waves from the lake at the porch and the walk to the lake is just four minutes. The town Altagracia is about fifteen to twenty minute walk but the scenery is beautiful. Eriam was a great host! He helped us find good rates on some bikes and we rode over to el ojo de aqua. If you want to hike maderas, or see San Ramon waterfall, or go kayaking it can be arranged but transportation would be a bit pricy. I say this bananas guest house is worth it just know what you want to do beforehand. Overall definetely reccomend!

We hadden een geweldige tijd bij Efraim. De plek was erg uniek, in het midden van zijn bananenplantage tussen de locals. Het dorpje is nog erg puur en er is amper een toerist te zien. Bedden waren goed en alles was schoon.

Bananas Guest House est parfait pour une escapade rurale. Nous avons aimé regarder le volcan au coucher du soleil tandis que les poulets picoteaient autour du joli jardin rempli de fleurs et les oiseaux volaient autour des bananiers. Il y a une belle plage pour la baignade à 15 minutes à pied, Altagracia, pour les fournitures, à 20 minutes à pied de la piste et à 30 minutes au sud et vous êtes sur une belle plage sauvage. Ephraïm et la famille étaient des hôtes parfaits, la petite maison a tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour faire des repas et faire des smoothies, mais quand nous avons commandé de la nourriture, c'était génial. Ephraim a organisé une location de scooter pour nous, et Rufino nous a guidé sur un volcan Concepcion qui était difficile mais spectaculaire. Dans l'ensemble, une semaine parfaite.

Efraim is an awesome host. He will help you with any questions you have or things you want to do on the island. he helped us get a good rate on dirt bikes and horse back riding. He even helped us find a guy to handcraft a large salad bowl. He checked in every morning with us to see if we needed anything, brought us fruit and even showed us a local cave with bats and a turanchula. Excellent customer service from Efraim!

Oh wow, I really do not have the words to describe how incredible this experience was. The room was clean, comfortable, cool and secluded. The hammock and the rocking chairs were my favorite part and I spent most of my early mornings and evenings lounging. The climate was perfect and breezy - in fact, I was cool more often than I was hot during my stay. Efraim was a fantastic host. He was knowledgeable, friendly and an overall wonderful person. We had great conversations and I loved meeting his wife and daughter. He brought me a bike that I could use, took me food shopping, brought me breakfast once and dinner another time, and took me on a ride on the back of his motorcycle. He really could not have been nicer or more helpful. One of the reasons I picked his place is because Efraim is a tour guide, and that turned out to be a great idea. I highly recommend staying with a tour guide, and with Efraim in particular. My stay in Ometepe was easily one of the best experiences of my life. Do yourself a favor and book this place.

Right from the beginning Efraim was an outstanding host! He and his friend were waiting at the bus stop to transport us and our backpacks. He took us to the super mercado to pick up food and beverages for our stay and then we were headed to the bananas house whic wasn't very far. On arrival, the cleanliness of the guest has really stood out. His wife even changed the sheets and tidy up daily. Everything about it was amazing. After we dropped out stuff off he gave us a tour of this amazing property, picked fresh avocado and mango and even brought us fresh mango juice. We were able to purchase enchiladas and nacatamales that were locally made at a minimal price (which were delicious). We enjoyed exploring the island with Efraim's pointers and expertise. If you are looking for an authentic Nicaraguan experience of the island, I recommended staying with Efraim. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING EFRAIM!

Efraim est un hôte formidable! Il est super amical et très réactif. La maison d'hôtes Bananes est calme et propre! Il a même été nettoyé pour nous pendant la journée alors que nous étions sortis, alors nous sommes rentrés à nouveau dans un espace soigné. Si vous restez ici, la location de roues est utile parce que la maison est à quelques pas de la ville. Efraim nous a fait nous sentir bienvenus et nous a parlé de l'île et de la culture. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour.

Das Personal war super! Sehr komfortabel und entspannende Lage. Ich wünschte, ich nie verlassen! Wunderbares Frühstück wird jeden Fall wieder kommen !!!

Ceci est une installation relativement nouvelle avec une vue magnifique sur le lac et sur le continent et à deux pas du traversier. Il est une très courte promenade sur un chemin de terre de la route goudronnée. Nous étions les seuls clients durant notre séjour, il était très calme. Beaucoup de hamacs. Pas beaucoup d'options de restaurant mais il y a un couple. Propre et en bon état.

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.

Schönes Haus mit geräumigen Zimmern, sehr nette Hosts, alles war sauber und sogar Frühstück war mit innbegriffen. Super preis leistungsverhältnis. Auch wenn Linda selbst nicht vor Ort war war sie super hilfsbereit und die Kommunikation lief reibungslos, klare weiterempfehlung :))

Très confortable et propre. Le grand et spacieux espace commun. Les gens qui sont en charge des installations sont très gentils et doux. Le petit déjeuner très riche. Il est juste à côté du port de San José del Sur il est donc très pratique si le voyageur peut être réglé au Voyage ferry limité. Je retournerais là-bas.

J'adore cet endroit! Je suis venu dans la saison morte et je suis le seul à l'hôtel! Le personnel était merveilleux et ils font facilement l'un des meilleurs petit-déjeuner au Nicaragua! Je pense que tout le monde dit, mais il est vrai! Le ferry le plus proche de l'hôtel était en cours de maintenance qui a fait pendant un certain temps paisible.

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.

Vi havde 2 nætter her hos Linda, og vi er så glade for, vi valgte dette hotel. Værelserne har en ok størrelse, og i midten af hotellet er en kæmpe fælles opholdsstue med gyngestole og hængekøjer til fri afbenyttelse. Her kan man ligge og nyde den fantastiske udsigt ud over vandet eller læse en god bog, og komme helt ned i ø-tempo. Om morgenen blev vi vækket af fuglekvidder og kør på vej på græs. Hotellet ligger et meget roligt og ikke særligt turistet sted.

Schattige studio met alle voorzieningen. Je moet wel een beetje bestand zijn tegen insecten en geluid want de hor is niet op zijn best en er zit een bar naast het huisje.

Bien placé pour aller à la cascade et à l'ojo de agua. La maison est très bien tenue par Lisseth qui nous a donné des renseignements utiles et nous a bien aidé. La maison est un peu près de la route. Le reste est parfait.

It's a cool spot across from the lake loved it in the day. A few small tweaks and the place is awesome.

Une très belle expérience dans cette ferme. Le chemin pour y accéder est déjà fantastique. Au pied du volcan Maderas. À quelques minutes l'accès à Totoco lodge nous permet de contempler toutes les beautés qu'offrent l'ile d'Ometepe. Comme le volcan concepcion sublime à regarder. L'ambiance à la ferme nous a vraiment plu, c'est un petit bout du monde avec tous les bruits les plus fous. Qu'on adore. Les singes hurleurs nous ont parfois fait peur (les premiers cris que nous avons entendu) mais après on attendait avec impatience qu'ils recommencent. On ne peut pas être plus proche de la jungle que dans cet endroit. Les hôtes Tania et Erik ajoute une très belle énergie. Leurs conseils nous ont été précieux. On aurait aimé les connaître davantage. Alors on reviendra. Monter le chemin à cheval est une sublime aventure.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 days at Totoco but were so comfortable we wanted to stay longer! Totoco is a little diamond on the mountainside, a true relaxing paradise. The hosts were wonderfully accommodating and welcoming and their place was a magical place to wake up. Balgue is a great area to be while visiting Ometepe as well, and I recommend renting a moto to get around. What a great experience and I would definitely recommend to all... especially if you're looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by nature.

Totoco is a really cool eco-hotel. The Naomi cabin, where we stayed, was a nice, unique experience and we enjoyed it a lot. The food at the place was great, the view and the swimming pool were breathtaking, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there are a few things that you should know before you stay here. 1. Location: the cabin is not on the main grounds of the eco hotel. To get to the pool and restaurant, we had to walk about 15 minutes up a steep hill. The hotel itself is also about a 30 minute walk from the town of Balgue, and taxis to get anywhere are fairly expensive (8-20 dollars, depending on distance). 2. Noise: it was LOUD at night. There is a family of howler monkeys living in the trees above the cabin, and they would start screaming every day before dawn. We thought this was pretty cool, but not conducive to sleeping in. There is also a rooster just outside the cabin that was also really loud. 3. Bugs: We came home to find a scorpion in our bed, and being far away from reception, had to deal with it ourselves. Our bathroom and cabin were also inhabited at all times by several MASSIVE spiders, which were docile but still pretty jarring to look at. You will be staying in the jungle, and you will feel like it.

Cozy farmhouse, we had a great time. It's a good walk up the hill and another five minutes up to the Totoco ecolodge, with a nice pool, wifi, a great restaurant and fantastic views. Recommend this very much.

This house is on the countryside, 700m away from Totoco. The house was like we expected: basic but fun. You don't need your own transportation if you don't mind a steep and long walk up to the main road (from 6 pm, the trail is completly dark so you better take a flashlight) and if you have time to take public transport. Our only complaint: price-quality too expensive in Nicaragua/Ometepe..

Totoco Farm Casita was a great way to have access to Totoco ecolodge!

Bien si vous aimez la vie rustique

It is difficult to understand this place from pictures. I can only say that it was beautiful. The farm sits up a hill from a town of Balgue, which is on the other side of the island as where the ferry will drop you off. This means you have a bit of a trek to get there from where you land, but it is such a small price to pay for the seclusion you find when arriving. The town itself is one of the nicest, in my opinion, on the island. There's some good food there as well as at the hotel Totoco- there's also an amazing pool with incredible views up there! If you don't have your own car do prepare to walk or spend money on taxis! This was the only problem we had, and as my boyfriend was injured walking from the town took us a while. Otherwise, thid place is amazing, clean, charming, authentic. Patricia and Martin are also a lovely couple, and super helpful. Thank you for the stay!

Isabel and Hector have been incredible hosts. Since our arrival they have been very helpful at guiding us to the must do's of the island like places to visit, food, laundry and transportation. Because they are both locals to this area they have given us the best tour into their mountain property and shared with us daily all the fresh produce they harvest from there. The house is well kept, very clean, has all the basic necessities and extras. I cook a lot and this kitchen is well equipped. The garden in the house has a variety of herbal plants and greens to use for fresh tea and salads. The location of this property is central, two steps from the beach, walking distance from restaurants, stores and permaculture farms. There are many bike and scooter rentals in this block but Isabel and Hector can also help you with that. Overall our stay here has been very comfortable and pleasant.

Firstly, Hector and Isabel are extremely kind people. They helped us with transport, tours and restaurant recommendations during our stay. On a daily basis Hector brought us fruit and tea grown on his property. Secondly, the room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The kitchen was handy to make some meals and snacks. The property is walkable to some restaurants but I would recommend hiring a bicycle, scooter or motorbike during your stay.

Hector and Isabels place is fantastic! Hector is a very lovely and generous man. Upon arrival he made sure we had everything we needed and also gave us a massive plate of fruit. The kitchen was well equipped. There were tables and hammocks to chill on as well. He also organised our guide to hike up the volcano. Our guide was fantastic did a really great job. When we got back Hector greeted us with smoothies! The location is opposite the beach and close to restaurants and shops. The area is quiet but there are more lively areas up the hill from Hectors. Overall we had a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend these apartments!
