loved everything! such a lovely and idyllic little paradise. I felt at home and at ease the moment I set foot in this place. every single one of the staff at El Pital is so welcoming and friendly and simply a joy to be around. - you made my stay here that much more happy! special shout-out to Danibeth, Junior, Angel and Ashley! the Yoga classes in the mornings were the best I’ve had on my trip so far and the cacao ceremony with Mia was absolutely fantastic! I’ve also done the cacao tour, which I can highly recommend. - Justin is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about cacao, which made it the most entertaining, in-depth and eye open tour I’ve been on. we were all just hanging on Justin‘s lips and didn’t realise how the hours past. Shout out to the ladies and gentlemen in the little chocolate factory who bring all the cacao magic to life!

The friendly staff, the bar atmosphere and the good food. I also love the pod beds with privacy curtains and they actually provide a USBC cable in the beds which was helpful because I left my charger in the last hostel I stay in!

The place was very clean and tidy, tranquil, and no noise at night which is rare in Nicaragua because there's always someone making some noise. The food was quality, homemade vegan goodness. Making a fire was cool and it has all the modern amenities like a fridge and cooking equipment so you can bring beer. Didn't have any bugs unlike some of the other hostels i stayed in on Ometepe. It's quite a good location equidistance between the two towns and near the start of Volcan Concepción. I recommend renting an ATV rather than a scooter at the port and picking it up in Ometepe, don't trust the people on the San Jorge side. The hostel also offers scooter rental although I picked mine up at port. Very photogenic hostel and peaceful.

This was one of the best hostels in all of my travels around Nicaragua. Daniela and Tony are the kindest, warmest, most considerate hosts ever. I would go back just to meet them and spend time with them. The property is tranquil, right by the lake (one can watch amazing sunsets just stepping out of the ranch). It is a short walk from the Moyogalpa ferry point. The area is super safe, I had no problems reaching the property way past sunset the first night. The ranch property in itself is beautiful - a lot of thought put into it. It is a paradise with so many trees, plants, flowers and animals and cool aesthetics. Daniela's breakfast is the best I had in Nicaragua. You simply cannot miss it! The dorm is spacious, clean, beds are comfortable. There are areas to sit out and hammocks to relax. Highly highly recommend!

All hostels in Balgue

Looking for a hostel?

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

An amazing hostel, with the friendliest and most helpful staff and lovely chill vibes. Super clean and comfortable, this is definitely the best hostel on Ometepe Island and I would recommend it to everyone :) They have a well-equipped kitchen to cook in and a tasty menu - try the salad bowl and the crepes they are soooo tasty! There is a cosy hammock chill out space too.

Very nice hostel in a great location. The kitchen has everything you need and gets cleaned daily. The upstairs hangout area is comfortable and spacious. I used it for my yoga practice and just put two hammocks down to have a bit more space. The owners are very friendly and answer any question you might have.
