Guest Reviews
- Anna (1/5): - Nos pusieron en un dormitorio con un chico y era solo femenino. Esa noche no la pagamos como compensación, eso estuvo bien.
Tener en cuenta que es una casa compartida. Que esta muy muy sucio y las camas son muy incomodas y estan llenas de hormigas. Hay un baño para 9 personas.
Tampoco te explican nada de como funciona la casa ni te dan la bienvenida.
La parte exterior que se ve en fotos no es del hostel, es de un restaurante que va a parte. No puedes utilizarla sin consumir.
- china (7/5): - Ótima localização Apenas um banheiro compartilhado entre todos os hóspedes, muitas coisas e roupas largadas pela sala e banheiro.
- Jenn (9/5): Awesome small beach front hostal with delicious restaurant. - Amazing location and smaller size made for a cozy stay. Friendly staff and an excellent restaurant on site.
- Vanessa (9/5): Superb - It definitely has the best views.. the sunsets are amazing. There's only one bath and shower... you have to wait a long time to use them.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Very good - Very close to beginners bay.
- Bradley (10/5): I absolutely love this place!!! The location is central and great for the price. ANNA was Amazing! - Location is better than advertised.
- Marc (5/5): Nice people and vibe but would be nice to have it a bit cleaner. Needs an overall cleaning session and then a host or cl - People and location Cleanliness. Bathroom window, sofa and fridge for instance are extremely dirty and gross. Overall it’s not really clean, stains everywhere, walls in bathroom etc.
- Hollie (10/5): I’ll be back soon! - Everything! You come as one and leave as a family! I originally booked 4 nights here and ended up staying a month! I loved it so much! Big thanks to the owners Nick & Tom, you legends!
The location is unbeatable, right on the beach with hammocks & deckchairs and tables to chill in. Restaurant at the front to get those cocktails and good food most days.
The hostel itself is more like a house, just 12 people max with 2 dorms and 1 double room situated around a big kitchen & living area, it’s super sociable and fun, you end up hanging out all the time with the great people that pass through and most people end up extending for longer. Kitchen is great for cooking. Nothing :)
- Kezia (10/5): Great location and sociable place - Great spot by the beach, nice and social hostel, Anna who was volunteering there was lovely. We stayed in the double room which is quite small, but with a fan and aircon and a comfortable bed. Nice to have use of a kitchen. Salty koala also does great food out front Nothing.
- Yumiczka (9/5): Chilling at the beach - Great location right on the beach, shared bathroom was also ok, friendly people around
- Bismuth (10/5): Exceptional - The location
The staff Nothing
- Jeffrey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laurie (9/5): Superb -
- Sheislou (10/5): Amazing - Everything was great, I felt warmly welcomed and like at home
The location on the beach is incredible
I really loved my stay there and will definitely come back
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Chill spot, nice people and the Republic is right on the beach! Waking up with a swim, go for a surf on walking distance and watching sunset at the end of the day at the front made every day amazing!
There is a fine kitchen to cook and it is nice that the place is not too big: just two dorms and a private room. That made the place and the people staying over super relaxt.
Nick is an amazing host and told us a lot about Nicaragua and nearby places to visit. You feel very welcome! We would love to come back.
- Birgit (8/5): Very good - Lovely homy feel. Nice kitchen. Lovely volunteers. Amazing beachfront. Bar was closed when i was there (think it opened again). Its very small so u have to be lucky with the other guests.
- Ama (9/5): Superb -
- Fraser (10/5): Beaches, best people, boss time - Best place by the beach. Dorms and beds are great. But the owners and roosa the volunteer made it. That I had to leave because I had to go home. Wish I could’ve stayed forever.
- Flor (9/5): Superb -
- Roosa (10/5): Exceptional - Popoyo Republic has such a homely shared-living vibe, the sunsets that you can watch from the terrace are incredible - and you are walking distance to many great surf spots. Will definitely come back!
- Ammon (10/5): Exceptional - Great location right on the beach. Feels more like a shared home than hostel which I liked. A/C was a game changer and Thom the owner is super nice!
- Jason (10/5): Good vibes - Great host! André(sorry no clue how to write your name) location is really good. Only 8 guests maximum at a time easy to connect with people. Family vibe. Thank you for the good vibes The “sliding” doors lol
- Cindy (8/5): Very good - I liked the proximity to the beach The dorms do not look safe in case of an earthquake or emergency issue.
The bathroom was not too clean during my stay.
On Booking did not say that it was cash only
- Carolin (10/5): Beach house with amazing staff - The accommodation is located directly on the beach, offering plenty of opportunities for relaxation or work. Andre warmly welcomes you and ensures that you lack nothing during your stay. Thank you and see you soon!
- Andre (10/5): Exceptional - Best place I ever stayed !
- Gillian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Flor (9/5): Superb - The property is beach front and just a walk away from most shops and restaurants.
- Alice (9/5): Would definitely recommend it to friends ! - The Staff, the people, the company, the size and the location ! Breakfast looking at the waves. And close to Beginner’s Bay ! The events and the restaurant. The cosiness :) let’s not forget the cute puppy ! Very very hot on the top bunks. Electricity is on and off so AC is not guaranteed. A fan or 2 would be nice to circulate the air 😊
