We loved everything- it was PERFECT. The best hostel we have stayed in Nicaragua. The location, the beautiful and comfortable rooms, the restaurant, and above all, the staff. We took surf lessons with Kelvin and those were the best surf classes we had so far. He gives you a lot of theory and picks up exactly where you want to start from. We did surf skate as well in his extra time. We can only highly recommend his classes. You can surf right in front of the hostel which is a dream. We were very sad to leave

A very relaxed spot, whole atmosphere was very easy going. loved being able to use the kitchen to cook for ourselves, the local shops were stocked enough that each meal was a bit of an adventure but that added to the fun. There were also enough places to eat out if you wanted. Staff were brilliant, definitely hoping to go back!

Tapihouse is an exceptional place to stay. Its location, comfort, kitchen equipment, everything is great. but the best is the kind and helpful staff Katy and Enrique. We stayed here twice during our two months in Nicaragua. When we came back the second time, we were welcomed like family. We had a deluxe room with the biggest and most comfortable bed in our life. we recommend it to everyone!

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.

This is a very social hostel, almost always full and in the evenings the volcano boarding bus shows up and everyone plays volleyball til dark. thoroughly enjoyed the scene and amount of people lounging around taking in the atmosphere.

Patrick, the owner, went above and beyond to help everyone out, with great recommendations for nearby, a really easy system for cheap drinks at the hostel and he even repaired my board bag for me when it broke a little. There is a really nice relaxed vibe at the hostel, a great kitchen and an amazing dog! Would recommend
