El Güis hostel

Very nice family owned guest house. Our plan was to stay for a night, it ended up having 5 nights! Very clean, quiet place to stay at Balgue.

Very lovely host. Good location, close to restaurants. The common area is chill and nice. You can park your motorbike behind the locked gate.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The host is very caring, generous and helpful and the rooms are very comfortable

The family are amazing hosts! Made us feel at home straight away and are really helpful! Good location and excellent value for money

The place has a nice garden full of tropical plants, and an open roofed space with chairs, tables and hammocks. The breakfast was the usual Nicaraguan gallo pinto (rice with black frijoles) with eggs and fried plantains. Tasty. I made my own coffee in the guest kitchen. There are some nice walks from the place to a natural pool, the nearby (1.5 km) Finca Magdalena, and along the lakeshore past Balgue.

I stayed for four days. Unfortunately, two Greek guests in the room next to mine were rather loud and disturbed my sleep for the first two nights but it was quiet after they left. Apart from that, everything was fine. I read reviews where people complained about bugs, but I only saw a few ants near the edge of the garden. The beds all have mosquito nets but I didn't have a need to use mine.

This was easily one of the best hostels if have stayed at. The host family is extremly welcoming and organizes everything you could want (taxi, bikerental, kayaktour) at good prices. The room was cleaned every day and we were given fresh towels daily as well. The breakfast (can only recommend adding that) is delicious and filling. There was a hiccup with the communication via booking.com (it had overbooked the room and when we got there a solution was already provided. I cannot overstate how nice and generous the hostess Odelba and her family was. Jutst thank you for making our stay this wonderful!
