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.

Herrliche Aussicht, wie beschrieben. Die Spinnen sind sehr real. Persönlich ehrte die Nacht mit so fantastischen Kreaturen zu verbringen, aber arachnophobes, Sie haben hier schon ein paar Mal in den Bewertungen gewarnt. :) Melissa und Erwing war super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Besichtigung der Farm war toll und das Frühstück war sehr lecker.

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!!!!

El espacio era precioso, con una vista increíble. El personal era muy amable y fue capaz de ayudar a reservar taxis y alimentos. En general, tuvimos una gran experiencia aquí.

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.

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!

Melissa était absolument fantastique pendant notre séjour. Elle a assuré notre confort et a répondu à toutes les questions que nous avions. Elle était si bien informé et chaleureux et est vraiment un atout dans les chambres d'hôtes.

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!!

Die Gastgeber und das Personal war sehr aufmerksam, die Lage war zentral und leicht zu finden.

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.

Nous avons passé un moment très agréable ici. Marc et Lizzeth sont des gens très agréable et vraiment gentils. La nourriture était délicieuse et il a été isolé assez que nous pouvions encore marcher aux attractions, mais la paix et la tranquillité dans le même temps.

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.

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.

Très belle maison perdue dans la nature. Les propriétaires ont été très utiles pour organiser des excursions. Parfait pour famylies

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 !!

Das Zimmer ist sehr sauber und sehr schön zu einem hohen Standard. Die Besitzer sind verfügbar und die Rezeption war sehr angenehm. Für den Zugriff kann es ein wenig kompliziert für sich allein sein. Ein Remake, hätte ich direkt kontaktiert Ros, dass wir einen Rücktransport organisieren. Die ptit dej ist im Preis inbegriffen und Service Damen sind sehr schön und gut ausgestattete Küche! Nicht zu weit von den Sehenswürdigkeiten der Insel mit dem Roller. Ein schöner Ort zum empfehlen!

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!

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.

Belle mais certainement toujours en cours. Au calme, très calme, super petit déjeuner. Jonothan et Rosyln étaient tous deux extrêmement utiles

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.

Le personnel était incroyable! Très confortable et relaxant emplacement. Je voudrais jamais quitté! Merveilleux petit déjeuner, va certainement revenir !!!

Alles was prima in dit hostel! Sweet Shark is naast de veerboot! Gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van de mensen maakt dit hostel een perfecte plek om te rusten! Er zijn bedrijven en op de markt naast de deur en er is een goed uitzicht op het meer! Hartelijk dank voor het ontbijt ook erg goed! Het is een erg leuke plek om te verblijven: ontbijt, douche zijn echt leuk! De wifi werkt echt goed! De WHO paar verwelkomen ons zijn erg aardig en vriendelijk mensen, waardoor je het gevoel alsof je thuis bent Thanks a lot!

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.

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.

Efraim était très accueillant et au-delà généreux. Nous nous sommes sentis tellement chanceux d'être à San Silvestre et sur cette belle ferme de plantain. La femme de Efraim a fait la meilleure nourriture du Nicaragua que nous ayons jamais eu. Efraim vérifié chaque jour pour nous assurer que nous étions bien et nous a même offert du jus aigre orange quand il a appris que nous avions des maux d'estomac. Notre seul regret est que nous ne pouvions pas rester plus longtemps et que nous n'avons pas faire de la randonnée avec Efraim. Nous espérons être de retour un jour!

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 était un hôte incroyable. Il était capable de nous aider avec toutes les questions que nous avions et les tours que nous avons pris par lui étaient incroyables. Aussi la nourriture est si bon. Classique nicaraguayen. Sa femme est une cuisinière extraordinaire. Je recommande vraiment sa place à tous ceux qui veulent voir un bel endroit tranquille et isolé. Le service est très relaxant et étonnant.

¡Fantastico lugar! Muy recomendable. Efraim y su familia fueron unos anfitriones excelentes. Prepararon el desayuno, el almuerzo y la cena para nosotros, todo estaba delicioso y fresco. Efraim era también una excelente guía para el Volcán Concepción. Este es un gran lugar para sentirse en armonía con la naturaleza.

Efraim è un ospite molto gentile e cordiale. Lui è un amante degli animali e conosce tutti i pro ei contro su tutti gli uccelli e altri animali in prossimità di sua proprietà. c'è una guardia (il fratello di Efraim) a guardare di notte. molto bene

Efraim gaf ons een heerlijk verblijf op het prachtige eiland Ometepe. Hij was beleefd, vriendelijk en gaf ons nuttige informatie over wandelen de vulkanen. Het hotel zelf is in een afgelegen bananenplantage een beetje buiten een van de kleine steden. Daarnaast bereidde hij ons twee smakelijke maaltijden (tamales en een lokale ontbijt met verse bananen, rijst, bonen y huevos)! Het was geweldig in het algemeen als u op zoek bent naar een iets andere ervaring!

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.

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

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.

Het was geweldig! Als u wilt verblijven in een rustige omgeving uit de buurt van andere toeristen ans iets over Nicaraguaanse leven te leren moet dit uw keuze.

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.

Questo era un ottimo posto dove stare, i padroni di casa erano molto cordiale e accomodante. Proprio accanto al lago e una corsa in autobus dalla città questa casa è un ottimo posto dove stare se avete intenzione di Ometepe.

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.

Ik verbleef hier met drie vrienden tijdens onze twee-daagse reis naar Ometepe. We waren op zoek naar ergens betaalbaar en comfortabel, dat is precies wat we hebben gekregen! Het huis is gelegen in een woonwijk, direct naast het meer. We werden begroet door Christian's familieleden, die vriendelijk en behulpzaam waren. De kamer was uitgerust met twee grote bedden en een kleinere, met een grote en schone badkamer. We aten de maaltijden buiten en waren in staat om te genieten van de omgeving om ons heen. De keuken is volledig uitgerust, wat ons toeliet om een aantal heerlijke huisgemaakte maaltijden te koken. Onze gastheren ook bood ons een aantal Tonas voor de aankoop, die we graag gebruik hebben gemaakt. We waren geïnteresseerd in wandelen Concepción, en onze gastheer vriendelijk verzocht regelde de logistiek van het inhuren van een gids en ons te helpen met transport. We waren blij om na een lange dag wandelen terug te komen op zo'n comfortabele ruimte! Het enige nadeel van deze plek is dat het niet centraal gelegen is en je moet betalen voor een taxi aan te komen (ik niet aanbevelen het nemen van de lokale bus, tenzij je oke het lopen van een paar kilometer naar het huis van de hoofdweg zijn). Een taxi vanaf Moyogalpa was ongeveer C $ 200 voor ons allemaal.

Cet endroit était super, la nourriture était très riche, et l'atmosphère était parfaitement calme! Il était un peu difficile à trouver car il est à environ 3 kilomètres de l'autoroute, mais ils ont tous vous aider à trouver la maison.

.

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!!

Private room is a good deal but note that A/C is 9$ extra when you arrive

Great location, delicious breakfast included (and there's choices! Not just the usual Gallo pinto con huevos). We tried the pancakes and they were the best ones we had in Nicaragua! Staff was friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend staying here! Gracías por todo!

El hotel es muy céntrico, el ambiente es muy agradable y amable. Julio era muy servicial y era capaz de darnos consejos sobre todas las cosas. Las habitaciones están limpias, el resto del hotel también. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y nos gusta usar la cocina y zona común. La ciudad es muy clara, en las inmediaciones (2 minutos a pie) que tiene todas las tiendas que necesitas: alimentos, ropa, hogar, calzado, electrónica, etc.

estancia maravillosa aquí. vista irreal y belleza. Nos encantó cada minuto de nuestra estancia. Sin duda, volvería.

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

Ein schöner Ort mit ausgezeichnetem Essen und nettem Personal. Auf jeden Fall lohnt sich die tril

Die Gastgeber storniert die Reservierung 29 Tage vor Anreise. Dies ist eine automatische Buchung.

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.

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.

This is great place if you're looking for a rural experience. Everything is basic but ok, although the shower wasn't working for two days. We booked four nights and stayed two because it was quite far from the main activities on the island. Nonetheless we enjoyed the hospitality and great food and are happy we've experienced the local lifestyle.

Finca Don Mincho is the creme de la creme of La Flor...and honestly my favorite place in Nicaragua. JC and I have been in contact ever since I booked our stay in May because I had so many questions, and let me tell you, JC was not shy with providing me the answers. With that alone, I became so excited to stay here because I had such great vibes from him since the first exchange of messages. Months later, our trip to Finca Don Mincho finally arrived and we had learned JC would not be joining us because of some complications, and that we would be left in the hands of his wonderful wife Lisseth. Words cannot describe how sweet she is! Jabril and I knew little Spanish, and Lisseth knew little English, but we were able to get our messages across just fine! Lisseth cooks a mean home cooked meal (probably the only thing that she can ever be mean with :P) for such a great price. My boyfriend is SO SO SOOO picky with how food is seasoned and cooked, and he absolutely LOVED her meals. That should say a lot! For people who have never experienced rustic farm life before, this was such a great first experience. The sound of the rain that came and went, the numerous animals as well as the sights and smells were new and yet never daunting. Our room was so cute and had everything we needed, and Lisseth was always ready and available to us if we had questions. JC made sure to keep in touch with us despite not being physically present, which I appreciate so much. Just goes to show how great all around this place is :) he set us up on a trip up Volcano Concepcion with his nephews, who also spoke just enough English for my boyfriend and I to have a blast. Even then, we have a great time playing charades trying to figure out each others sentences. Also forgot to mention Bovita & Tampa (2 of the 6 dogs they own) joined us on our trek up the volcano as well! On our last day we were able to join Lisseth to swim en la playa close to their farm, this time joined by 5 of the 6 sweet doggies they own. This is such a long review but I just cannot put into words how highly my boyfriend and I think of this place. This was such a genuine experience and something I will never forget. Thank you JC, Lisseth, Ian, Lester, and the whole family for everything. My first Nicaragua trip will surely not be my last...all thanks to you.

We had a wonderful stay at Finca Don Mincho! It is a phenomenal, traditional farm and gave us the most authentic experience we had during our trip to Nicaragua. Juan and the whole family were more than accommodating and the meals were insanely good (especially all the local fruits and juices). Highly recommended for people looking to get off the beaten path and disconnect for little while.

We are really thankful for this special experience! It was amazing and we felt really welcome, almost like a family member! We enjoyed the typical nicaraguan food and the fresh fruits from their plantage. John spent a lot of time with us and we got known the culture of Nicaragua a bit better, thanks for that! Also, we got a great massage from the sister of Johns wife, you should not miss it! It's a kind of easy to get to the house, you get the bus from Moyogalpa to La Flor and than it's a 20 minutes walk from there. Greetings Maria (Karin) and Katharina

Awesome experience with really good, inspiring people in a great place totally surrounded by untouched nature fruit trees and animals (except moscitos, almost none) and on top of it delicious food and always a helping hand if you want it! If youre looking for a place off the crowded touristical places where you can get to know life of & by locals youre totally right!

JC and lisseth's place was wonderful, very local and minimalist stay. We only stayed two nights and ate most of our meals there. It was so plentiful - Waldo used to be a chef! The bed was clean and comfortable, outdoor showers and an outhouse. We went out for swims in the nearby lake both evenings and three of the dogs came out with us. It was so serene and quiet. JC organized a Concepcion hike for us, taking a local entrance instead of the touristy one near Moyogalpa. We went at a good pace and made reasonable stops; they also fed us well on the hike. JC was a timely and thorough communicator throughout our booking, and he and his family were gracious hosts in our short stay. Would thoroughly recommend this home to anyone willing to live a little more plainly.

Finco Don Mincho was a fabulous experience! If you're looking to temporarily live like the Ometepe Nicas, this is the spot. We were greeted with an amazing dinner and fresh juice upon arrival and had our own little hut with all of the necessities. The property had an outdoor shower that was so refreshing and surrounded by fruit trees, there is an outhouse with a wonderful view, and a nice area to relax in hammocks and eat the fresh fruit picked from trees on the property. This is a true Ometepe Finca getaway. JC and Lisseth are some of the most kind and giving people we've ever met. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed chatting with them in the mornings over an amazing breakfast & juice (which is included!) I would recommend renting scooters or motorcycles from Bryan in Moyogalpa to get around the island. (Some businesses aren't trustworthy but we had a great experience with Bryan). The farm is located about 6km from Moyogalpa down a pretty rough conditioned road but after some scooter practice we had it down. JC even met us at the ferry dock when we first arrived on the island and we followed him to the farm so there was no confusion. WiFi is unpredictable, electrical may go out for a short amount of time, and running water comes and goes but these things made the entire experience that much more authentic. These are the things the locals deal with daily so put your phones away, lay in a hammock, and gaze up at the amazing stars on this unbelievably memorable farm.

We have a very nice and authentic experience. We loved to share some time with the family and as we expected is not touristic place. We really like our stay even if that was short!

Selvista Guesthouses was a wonderful experience on Isla Ometepe. Melissa Lucas was on top of everything and was so great with responding to any question. She arranged all transportation and rentals, such as scooters, that we requested. Erwing was knowledge in all aspects of the organic farm and had a fantastic smile.

Große isolierten Ort, meine Freundin und ich liebte es! Außendusche ist ein Gewinner.

Cette propriété était magnifique, la vue semble tout comme les photos! Arriver à la propriété est à une heure de route intéressante du ferry afin que vous êtes dépendant d'un taxi ou de louer une moto pour se rendre à toutes vos attractions. Aussi une option de bus, mais n'a jamais été dit beaucoup sur le bus ou où il arrête et dans quelle mesure il était d'accéder. Ce qui pour nous était un taxi 30 $ par trajet du ferry seul. Marcher et regardant autour de la ferme était incroyablement intéressante parce que l'agroforesterie est une pratique agricole moins utilisé, mais belle. Erwing était très bien informé sur les plantes et l'agriculture sur la tournée. On n'a jamais rencontré Missy ou Christopher donc nous n'interagi avec Erwin et un autre fermier nommé Amanda. La seule chose qui était très inattendu a été le degré d'ouverture de l'air, les maisons sont. Etant donné que sur cette maison il n'y a pas une porte moustiquaire ou une porte de la ferme entièrement, juste une sorte de porte de la porte. Et même une petite fenêtre qui est ouverte blindé et. Ceci est très agréable pendant la journée mais pas la nuit. Nous avons séjourné ici après une chute de pluie et les insectes que nous avons rencontrés ce soir-là était dans inouïe des montants. Nous ne pouvions pas garder une lumière sur 19 heures passé parce que les insectes grouillaient. Donc, une bonne chose à savoir est que cette maison est toujours ouverte et disponible pour le monde naturel tout au long de la nuit. Et à cause de cela, nous avons demandé de passer à la Chambre Jungle (une autre propriété plus cher sur le site) qui semblait plus fermé mais il y avait encore des taches, comme la porte coulissante ayant de grandes fentes ouvertes en haut et en bas qui permettent de grands insectes et les araignées pour obtenir. dans la maison Jungle nous étions peu à un coléoptère appelé Bug Maya dans le courant de la nuit. Le coût de l'expérience Jungle je suppose. Ainsi, malgré sa beauté, il a ses bizarreries qui nous ont fait sentir comme le prix ne valait pas l'inconfort de l'essaimage des insectes à travers la nuit. Malgré cela si tous les hôtes et tout le monde était très serviable et agréable. Le petit déjeuner le lendemain matin était délicieux, le café local qui peut être livré à la propriété était aussi très savoureux. On m'a dit que je pouvais voir comment le café a été traité à une autre ferme locale, mais le jour de a été dit l'agriculteur était pas là donc je réellement ai jamais pu. Donc dans l'ensemble, je dirais que cette propriété est absolument magnifique et tout le monde était incroyablement gentil mais il y a des aspects très remarquables de ce qui semblent légèrement tromper par rapport à la description. Peut-être est uniquement parce que nous sommes restés pendant la saison des pluies. Mais quand les gens disent un peu de bugs, ils signifient un looooot d'insectes et d'araignées. Et il est encore beaucoup plus ouvert l'air dans la chambre à coucher réelle qu'il n'y paraît par des photos et un peu loin hors des sentiers battus aussi bien!

I need to describe exactly what you get when you stay at the homestead. Chris' house is a large single room structure with windows and a gate. There is no door. The gate is probably better suited to keep people out. The only thing keeping you from the sometimes large bugs is a bug net over the bed. The very nice compost toilet is outside and can be intimidating at night. This place is in the jungle. If you can brave the bugs though, what you get in return makes this place worth it. Missy and Erwin were accommodating, pleasant and helpful when booking trips. They called the ferry captain to make sure the boats were running the day we were leaving. The views from Chris' patio were as unique as the homestead. The actual farm is impressive and the amount of work involved is impressive and a highlight of the stay. And of course the dogs make you feel at home.

It was a little bit of an adventure to get to the Homestead but the payoff was enormous. This was exactly what we wanted in an off-the-grid spot. Melissa and Erwing were fantastic. Make sure to get a full tour of the homestead. Don't miss breakfast, it is delicious and not the typical food you get in Nicaragua but still very traditional feeling.

For those looking to seriously disconnect and immerse themselves in nature! Although the location is very remote and rustic, the staff made it easy to settle in and were always accessible. What a great experience!!

Où puis-je même commencer? La ferme était tout simplement parfait! Nous avons été accueillis par Missy & Erwin à notre arrivée. Ils nous ont montré autour de la propriété et ont aidé à nous installer. Tout au long de notre séjour, ils ont répondu à toutes nos questions et activités recommandées / facilité. Les jardins tropicaux luxuriants avec une végétation et les animaux adorent. Se réveiller aux sons des oiseaux et des singes hurleurs est quelque chose que chacun devrait connaître. La vue que nous avions depuis le hamac était majestueux. Osa et Vago (les cabots) étaient sympathiques et très affectueux. On n'a pas eu l'occasion de rencontrer Chris depuis qu'il était parti pour le travail, mais nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison et nous avons pu voir clairement que son cœur et l'âme ont été versés dans ce magnifique projet. Nous planifions déjà notre prochain séjour là-bas! Merci à toute l'équipe pour une expérience incroyable.

Wir wurden von Missy und Erwing Gastgeber - beide waren wunderbar, sehr hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Sie haben uns mit Wanderungen, Fahrräder, Essen Empfehlungen und machten uns in der Regel zu Hause fühlen. Die Kokosnüsse bei der Ankunft waren besonders genial! Der Platz ist super - genau das, was die anderen Bewertungen sagen, und etwas ganz Besonderes. Das Bad war super, und es gibt nichts Besseres als eine Dusche im Freien, wenn es draußen heiß ist! So viel Spaß.
