Guest Reviews

• Blanca (10/5): Bella vista a San Juan del sur. - Bello lugar, limpio, ordenado, una vista hermosa y habitaciones frescas. Con mucha brisa por estar en una colina. El acceso al lugar.
• Lore (10/5): - La piscine, la vue, le calme, la navette gratuite vers le centre ville. C'était vraiment un superbe endroit !
• Alice (9/5): -
• Miriam (10/5): - Das ist das schönste Hostel, in dem ich je war. Schon alleine der Ausblick ist jeden Cent wert, insbesondere mit dem tollen Sonnenuntergang. Dann zum Hostel selbst: super liebevoll dekoriert, viele Möglichkeiten sich auch vor Ort zu beschäftigen, sei es mit dem riesigen Pool, chillen in einer Hängematte, Billard spielen oder Brettspiele leihen. Außerdem sind die Räume wirklich geräumig, Matrazen super weich, gute Kühlung und natürlich alles top sauber. Obwohl wir erst etwas Bange hatten, weil das Hostel so weit von der Stadt entfernt scheint, ist das gar kein Problem, denn dreimal pro Tag werden Shuttel angeboten und wenn man 5 Minuten den Berg runterläuft, kommen hier auch regelmäßig Taxis. Was das Hostel aber gewaltig von anderen anhebt, ist die unglaubliche Herzlichkeit des Personals. Daniel, einer der Besitzer, kümmert sich sehr hingabungsvoll um seine Gäste, wie auch Carlos, der Zweite an der Rezeption. Auch die anderem vom Personal sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, die Shuttelfahrer beispielsweise bemühen sich stark, immer sehr langsam Spanisch zu sprechen oder mit Übersetzer zu arbeiten, sodass immer alle mitkommen. Für mich ein richtiger Geheimtipp, insbesondere für Reisende, die sich nach Ruhe und einer tollen Zeit in der Natur sehnen. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

• Elodie (10/5): It’s a really peaceful place - Pool, breakfast Mattress
• Jesus (10/5): - Uno de mis lugares favoritos
• Yannin (9/5): -
• Marcela (10/5): - La vista que tiene el Hostel es hermosa, las habitaciones son súper cómodas, agradables y es muy fresco. Todos los espacios son muy agradables y da muy buena vibra. Sería bueno que también pudieran contar con pagos en tarjeta y no solo en efectivo.
• Kujore (4/5): Inconvenient - The highlights were the lovely free breakfast, the use of the kitchen the pool and the view. If I had to recommend I would say only stay if you’re prepared for inconveniences. The accommodation itself is lovely but the procedures and codes of conduct are extremely lacking and difficult. If you arrive before 3pm you must sit in the smoking area which is situated further from the communal areas. There is no way around this as the property is very far away from the main town/transport so one must wait in the smoking area which is directly in the sun. The dorms are great if you are on a bottom bunk as you get a personal fan but the top bunks do not have this and are extremely sweaty. The staff are nice but were not the most accommodating with issues of being stuck in the property with no exit.
• Jeckson (10/5): -
• moncada (10/5): - Las instalaciones todo muy cómodo, limpio y ordenado. La atención esepcional. La vista durante el día y la noche es maravillosa. Súper recomendado. El acceso al hostel, el camino de lastre en mal estado complica un poco el acceso. Si suben taxis pero te cobran de más por el estado del camino.
• Deyanira (10/5): - La habitación es espaciosa Me gustaría que ofrecieran habitaciones con aire acondicionado
• Lara (1/5): De muy mal gusto - Lo único que nos gustó del lugar es la vista La actitud arrogante del que aparentemente es el dueño del lugar, trata de muy mal manera a los trabajadores, cuando le hacíamos preguntas contestaba de mala manera , haciendo gestos de molestia, aparte de eso, solo aceptan efectivo, las almohadas son muy incómodas, las toallas estaban manchadas y el baño tenía muy mal olor, la entrada del lugar está en muy malas condiciones así que sinceramente no recomiendo que visiten este lugar
• Alexandra (10/5): Incroyable ! - L’accueil du personnel était formidable, l’organisation pour se rendre dans le centre était vraiment top, on ne se sent pas éloigné et nous pouvons profiter d’une vue et couchers de soleil spectaculaires! La cuisine est très bien équipée Merci à toute l’équipe, nous en gardons un très beau souvenir
• Teresa (9/5): Amazing view. Relaxing vibe. - Great location. Very chilled vibes. Few free shuttles daily to town - also possible to walk in around 40mins. Small included breakfast. Nice common area to hang around Unfortunately a few water stops during my stay, according to the staff this is normal when weather is windy - which seems to be often the case in San Juan.
• Chinchilla (9/5): - Todo muy bonito, como se ve en las imagines, las instalaciones muy limpias y acogedoras, 100% recomendado. Volvería a Hospedarme sin duda! Pienso que deberían ampliar un poco más el Horario del transporte interno para poder trasladarse al pueblo.

• Théo (9/5): - Piscine et coin extérieur très bien, vue superbe avec couchés de soleil au top La wifi marche quand elle veut, possible coupure eau et électricité
• Charlotte (8/5): - Fantastiskt poolområde och magisk solnedgång. Enkelt rum med skällande hundar precis intill.
• Valentin (9/5): -
• Suzanne (9/5): Superfijn hostel op prachtige plek - Het is echt een heerlijk hostel met prachtig zwembad, fijne hangmatten en een schitterend uitzicht over San Juan Del Sur. Er gaat drie keer per dag een shuttle waardoor je makkelijk het centrum in kan of even boodschappen kunt doen. Alle kamers zijn open van boven dus het is vrij gehorig.
• Gome (8/5): - Vistas Bueno solo para que la gente entienda que se escucha todo de los vecinos porque no es una habitación hermética con techo, el techo está abierto con una mosquitera, pero el WC y la habitación y habitaciones de alado está comunicado, vamos que escuchas todo
• Manon (10/5): -
• Estelle (10/5): - Un très bel Hostel convivial et au calme dans les hauteurs de San Juan del Sur. La vue imprenable depuis la piscine et les hamacs était magique. Le personnel est adorable et disponible. Les navettes gratuites pour se rendre en ville sont un vrai plus et les nombreux équipements (billards, jeux de société, matériel de piscine...) sont fortement apprécies ! Nous avons passé un très bon séjour
• Karinvanrooijenn (10/5): Relaxed and spacious with stunning views - I loved everything about this place. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, with all the hammocks and the beautiful view, and it attracted travelers who were on the same wavelength. The staff were amazing and felt like friends. Their shuttle service to several beaches and town and communication about it is on point too. Another big plus for me was the spacious room and bathroom. -
• Jessica (10/5): - be aware that’s not in the „city-center“, that made it perfect for us, especially with the shuttle. Highly recommend t - - nice Staff, really helpful and caring - comfy beds and sheets - most beautiful view and sunsets - free shuttle (3x day) - well equipped kitchen - hostel with very good and chill vibes - lot of offerings for tours, activities and transport - nice pool and hammocks - yoga space - Good price - filtered water - good breakfast It’s a backpackers dream if you’re looking for a quiet hostel.
• Justin (10/5): Un lugar hermoso y tranquilo - La Paz y la tranquilidad del lugar. Las instalaciones son hermosas N/A

• Torres Murillo (10/5): Increíble! - Como siempre encantada con todo, el lugar es mágico. Es la segunda vez que vamos y estamos encantados ✨ Un plus porque tienen un excelente equipo, eso incluye a Mich 🐈 1000/1000 la atención gatuna 🤭✨
• Markus (10/5): -
• Calderon (1/5): Nuestra entrada empezaba desde las 3:00pm, decidimos dar un paseo previo y entrar por la noche, lo cual por mi experienc - Nuestra entrada empezaba desde las 3:00pm, decidimos dar un paseo previo y entrar por la noche, lo cual por mi experiencia visitando otros hoteles nunca había sido problema, sin embargo, con este alojamiento si lo fue. A pesar de estar en Nicaragua un país donde se habla 100% español, la persona que estaba en recepción hablaba inglés y un inglés muy poco entendible. Hay muchas restricciones en el sitio, no puedes salir después de las 11:00pm. Prácticamente, llegas adivinando al lugar, ya que no hay ni siquiera un rótulo en las afuera que te indique que estás en el lugar. Los números de atención al cliente jamás contestan, llamas y llamas y rechazan las llamadas.
• Wendy (10/5): Loved it, we’d definitely stay there again! - Super chilled place to stay, great location. The complementary shuttle into town 3 times a day was perfect.
• Deyanira (10/5): -
• Pascal (8/5): - - toller View - entspannte Atmosphäre, chilliger Vibe - extreme Ruhe - Personal sehr aufmerksam - Zwei verschiedene Frühstücksangebote - kostenloser Shuttleservice 4 mal am Tag - man hört die Brüllaffen - Anreise ist schwierig. Sowohl mit Roller als auch zu Fuß. Extrem steiler Weg nach oben. Wenn man öfters in die Stadt oder woanders hin möchte, macht es dies etwas schwieriger - Die Preise für angebotene Ausflüge oder Shuttleservices in andere Städte kamen uns etwas teuer vor
• Rainer (9/5): Preis-Leistung stimmen. - Sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Toller Shuttle zum Zentrum und zu den Stränden. Ruhige, aussichtsreiche Lage. Zimmer waren sehr einfach eingerichtet.
• JACK (10/5): -
• Lester (10/5): - Todo bien Nada
• Lester (10/5): - Excelente todo, gran sitio para disfrutar Un poco lejos pero se entiende
• Laurie (9/5): -
• Kristie (2/5): No good price to quality ratio - The bed was really nice and big. The breakfast was nice and the cleaning lady was sweet. Nice sunset view & free shuttle service to town. Check-in is at 3pm. We messaged to property if we could leave our stuff in the hostel, since we came from a different hotel. We could leave our bags there, but somewhere in a corner with no security at all. When we did checkin at 3pm there was no electricity / light so we could not even see the room untill 9pm. We’ve already travelled to a lot of countries, but I never stayed in a hostel of 28 dollar a night, where you have to pay $4 for a towel. Next to that, the staff was not very welcoming and the pool was very dirty so we didn’t even want to swim there. The water in the shower was very cold and full of sand and the rooms where very noisy.
• Angeles (10/5): -
• Carolina Arrieta R (8/5): Buena relación calidad/precio - Las instalaciones son muy bonitas, la vista espectacular y la cocina con todo para preparar tus alimentos. El camino permite que llegue un automovil, solo tener en cuenta que esta un poco malo Si esta lejos del centro, aunque ofrecen transporte gratis es algo a tener en cuenta, toda la información que comparten por el grupo de WhatsApp es en inglés, deberian de manejar inglés/español ya que no solo tienen huespedes angloparlantes.
• Carolina Arrieta R (9/5): - Las el lugar es precioso una vista espectacular, se disfruta mucho en las instalaciones. Habitaciones comodas, tener en cuenta que esta en medio de una montaña y pueden haber insectos, en nuestro caso empezaron a caer hormigas del techo. Es lejos del centro a 3km, pueden entrar automoviles pero la calle si esta un poco mala. Aunque el hostel brinda transporte gratuito del hostel a algunos puntos. También la información del grupo de WhatsApp solo la pasan en inglés, deberian pasarla en español también ya que no solo tienen huespedes angloparlantes.
• Domenic (8/5): If you want it cheap go for it - Very affordable accommodation with lovely staff and a good view. Superb price to value. It’s old and rusty, the rooms are not super clean, the mattress is old and uncomfortable. I had a spring in my back all night. The way into town is long (there is a shuttle) and not much to do in the close area.
• Melanie (8/5): clean and well-priced no-frills rooms - Cozy rooms situated around a pool with hammocks, communal kitchen and great views, at the top of a steep hill. Very close to Las Escadas Pickleball courts! Our night was quiet but the place attracts groups (especially for dorms) and can be noisy on weekends. The property provided filtered water but it smelled and tasted terrible. Staff did not agree or provide an alternative.
• Rickie (9/5): Superb -
• Matthew (7/5): Good stay - Good stay, hammocks and pool area were great for relaxing. Breakfast in the morning was yummy. The volunteers were very friendly. Room was very Noisy as there was no roof on the rooms, just netting. The netting has lots of holes in so spiders/bugs can easily get in! Showers are cold.
• Jeremy (7/5): Good -
• Marie-noelle (9/5): Superb - Very nice place and relaxing vibe, staff very friendly, pool was a huge bonus, beautiful location and sunsets. Good breakfast. Free shuttle service to town was definitely appreciated, easy process to hop in and out via a group chat. They can also arrange surf lessons for you. The rooms don't really have a ceiling- you can hear your neighbors quite well...a little too well maybe at times 😉
• Nancy (10/5): Relaxing and well worth the trip! - Staff is friendly and helpful! Free shuttle is also a huge help for getting to know the area.
• Tomer (7/5): Good - The hostel itself is beautiful with great facilities. They offer a shuttle service from and to the center of town / the beaches nearby. The included breakfast is nice and the staff is very helpful. The room I stayed in had an opening in the roof, which meant there are a lot, and I mean a lot of bugs and mosquitos, that along with the heat and lack of fans / AC made it impossible to get a nights sleep.
• Bethany (8/5): Very good - Pool is amazing, the location id a bit out of town but shuttles are provided and its nice being out of the city.
• Julianna (9/5): Superb - Beautiful hostel with a beautify view of the city. I had a private room and it was lovely. Bed was a bit stiff though Noisy outside the rooms, no insulation so even if someone is just talking outside it sounds like they're in your room Alsoooo I know it's far from town but more than 3 shuttles a day would be very appreciated, if your schedule doesn't align with their shuttle you're stuck with the hour walk :/
• Kristian (10/5): Exceptional - If you want to relax then this is the best place you can stay. Best hostel in Central America for us! Super affordable too. We tried staying in town and came back after 2 nights haha If you want to be in town there are free shuttles. Don’t come to party and you’ll love it
• Rodrigo (10/5): Awesome stay and place !! - The location its a little bit far from town but there’s always a way to go , and the sunsets and the environment was really good !!! The beds are little bit crunchy when you move makes some noise for the rest of the people living in the same room
• Alina (9/5): Superb - 6 bed dorm nice and clean. Bathroom clean and good facilities. Lockers available for smaller items. Nice area around the pool to relax. Kitchen has all you need and utilities are clean. Three shuttles per day for free to town including enough time to go shopping. -
• Lucia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about this place is great. Best sunset you’ve ever seen. Our private room was huge, clean and very comfortable. Free breakfast is great and very chill atmosphere. The distance from the town might bother you, but they offer shuttles. We really enjoyed the walk into the town.
• Pupiro (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was excellent! ...
• Josef (10/5): Overall a perfect hostel - Pool, people, staff, location in general, kitchen, breakfast Nothing
• Carl (9/5): Stunning view - I love the view and the pool. The hostel is very good to meet and talk with people. It's a little bit remote but with the shuttle or a motorcycle it's easy to access.
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Anna (9/5): Superb - Staff, facility and views were all lovely. Free shuttle was a life saver as it's far from the center. Breakfast was delicious and coffee is always a positive. Bed was so comfortable! Electricity dropped for awhile for no fault of their own, but as a remote worker, it complicated things a bit.
• Daragh (8/5): Very good -
