- Gonzalez Lopez (7/5): Seguridad - Desayuno muy bien ubicación adecuada y accesible Falta de privacidad
- Thierry (9/5): - Personnel acceuillant et checkin en avance, calme, belle terrasse a l'ombre, petit dėjeuner, proche de tout
- Roppel (7/5): - Für den Preis war der Aufenthalt in Ordnung. Wir wurden wegen einer Baustelle in ein anderes Zimmer verlegt.
- Libor (7/5): -
- Luc (10/5): Excellent - Emplacement. Ventilateur excellent
Personnel formidable
- Joseph (10/5): - perfect location in town yet it feels secluded.
- Joakim (10/5): -
- Denise (7/5): Maria, Juan and the staff were all very friendly and helpful - Breakfast choices were good and portions adequate. Shared kitchen though tiny was clean and well equipped. It is an old style, rambling
property offering multiple seating areas including a pleasant patio area with a good view of sunsets. Location is excellent, just metres from a supermarket and the seafront. The two dogs on the property were sweet but barked a great deal when street and other dogs passed by. Also barked a lot at night and kept us awake. Some light construction was underway and began early even on Sunday.
- Irina (7/5): Good for backpackers - Staff members were very helpful trying to do as much as possible to meet your expectations. They changed our room 3 times. It was not because we were picky. The rooms had issues ( wi fi didn't work on the third level, drainage at the shower had problem) The hotel needs updates. But you get what you pay for. They served typical Nicaraguan breakfast (rice and scrambled egg or pancakes) and coffee. The filtered water was available at the lobby. Lots of noise from outside, hotel located on a very busy street. There were 2 dogs belonging to the hotel, they were barking late at night and early in a morning. I didn't have a good sleep in this hotel. Also they were repairing a roof. And they started at 7:00 a.m every morning
- Laure (6/5): - L'emplacement est bien, La salle de bain sans pommeau de douche ,juste une tuyau en PVC.
La totalité de la chambre res vétuste .
Ça ne vaut pas absolument le prix .
- Anna (2/5): -
- Sara Dienis (8/5): - Quarto bem ventilado, boa localização, staff simpático, café da manha bom também Quarto muito claro para dormir, quem precisa de escuro para dormir não recomendo, as janelas nao tem cortina
- Michael (9/5): Quiet laidback hostel, highly recommend - We had such a nice time here and SJDS in general, we continually extended our stay. This hostel was one of the most affordable options we found (although SJDS accommodation seems a lot pricier than the rest of Nicaragua), but we were very satisfied overall.
The hostel was surprisingly spacious with lots of different areas and levels, tons of chill out space with chairs, hammocks, and even a subtle ocean view from the balconies. We liked that our room was tucked away at the back and top level of the property, quiet and private. The room was simple and rustic but no issues. Cold showers, good WiFi, two fans (we only needed/used one of them) and were perfectly comfortable.
Perfect location one block from the ocean, there’s a good sized supermarket Ocean Market 1 min walk away, and only a few minutes walk to Casa Oro where the daily shuttles leave to surrounding beaches.
The included breakfast was great, a tasty plate of gallo pinto. 8am-10am service time was perfect for us.
We’ll miss their adorable puppy Sultan! Some facilities are showing their age, with that considered everything was kept about as clean as it could be. Payment in cash only. A bedside lamp would be handy!

- Kevin (9/5): -
- Alfonso (3/5): No recomendable. Tiene nombre de hostel pero no lo es - Nada, un lugar que dice q ser un hostel, pero no tiene nada de eso Sucio, mal equipamiento, se tapan las duchas, ventiladores llenos de polvo, toallas en mal estado, sábanas sucias, se arrienda por hora para parejas mas que un hostel
- Stefan (2/5): Terrible - The location was the only good thing about this place. Although I would recommand everyone to stay outside of San Juan, much nicer! We where there around new year, so we paid quite a lot more. Ofcourse that was our own decision because there was nothing available in town. However, we paid 150EUR per night! Which is crazy for Nicaragua and for what you got;
- Very smelly, coming from the sewer
- Bedding was dirty
- Paint coming of the walls
, basically 4 walls without any comfort or hygiene, would definitely not recommand.

- Jordy (7/5): Bien - El desayuno bastante balanceado, pancake delicioso, se podría ser más creativos con el corte de la fruta Las sábana demasiado liviana, no protege nada del frío y las almohadas súper pequeñas e incómodas...
- Laura (7/5): - Habitacion y baño espacioso. Amabilidad de anfitriones.
- Espinosa (10/5): -

- Guy (10/5): -
- Joseph (10/5): In the middle of everything - Everything was excellent. The room was super clean with a comfortable bed, the shower worked great, and there were two fans. The location was perfect, with everything being a short walk away, including the beach, which was only one block away. Great value for the price. They even gave me a nice breakfast for free! I can't think of anything that made me feel negative. It was a great stay
- Es (8/5): If you are looking for a quiet and clean hostel, you should definitely stay here. The staff is frien -
- Nataly (10/5): Exceptional - It is very clean, the breakfast is delicious, and it is close to the beach and has a beautiful view.
- Cheryl (5/5): Passable - Adequate for a short stay. Bathroom smelled like sewage. Expensive for what it is.
- Mariluz (8/5): Very good - Staff No AC in rooms, only fan.
- Gardner (8/5): We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. - My room was comfortable, there are many nice common areas for relaxing, the hostel is well located close to shops and restaurants, and the included breakfast was fantastic. Kitchen facilities are limited.
- Marlo (7/5): Good -
- Theodor (7/5): Good -
- Ronan (7/5): Good -
- Sophia (3/5): Worst value for money deal of my life - The breakfast staff was nice Never have I ever wasted 100€ per night on such a horrible old room. Cannot understand the relatively good rating.
- Marine (8/5): Very good -
- Pedro (7/5): Good - 16 beds in a dormitory!.... really?? ...... 1 person kitchen?? ....
- Amy (10/5): 100% recommend! Lovely chilled spot - SO SO LOVELY!
Super clean, super quiet at night,
Lovely free breakfast, they let us checkout 3 hours later for $10. Really nice sun trap terrace to chill on too! And moments from the beach/main area of town. N/A. The best budget stay we have stayed in throughout Central America
- Julia (9/5): Superb -
- Gianluca (8/5): Very good -
- Nika (7/5): Nice stay - The location, the kind staff and the terrace with various seating options. The breakfast was simple but very nice and filling:) The only thing is the cleanliness, it really isn’t the best. Especially the bathroom was very dirty and there was no shower head, just a pipe.
- Jing (8/5): Very good - breakfast is good.
room is very big even though there are 16 beds inside, you have a lot space to put bag.
nice staff, they are friendly, helpful. a little bit noisy at midnight because seems a bar or pub is close by.
- Monique (9/5): Superb -
- גנות (4/5): We payed less and got less - Very nice host, gave us another room after we weren’t satisfied with the one we got. Not all the rooms are bug protected, frogs in the entrance, no hot water (like every hostel in San Juan), not very clean
- Veilleux (10/5): lovely hostel - i ended up staying 1 month a this hostel and everything was perfect and clean.
Maria and her family are really lovely people.
if i come back i will return for sure.
- Kris (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (9/5): Eat and sleep. - San Juan del Sur seems to be redeveloping.
Another stay after a recent one.
- Martin (8/5): Very good -
- Butler (8/5): Very good - Great location, breakfast & king size bed. It's quiet, but close to everything. I would stay here again. Just a couple of details for the room. The curtain was too small for the window. I was light weight and the fan blew it around. A heavier, darker curtain would provide more privacy.
The bathroom could use a door.
- David (8/5): Good and ok - Great location, good breakfast, clean room, and staff were very helpful No vibe
- Thomas (10/5): It rained for 12 hours straight. - Very accommodating.
There's plenty to eat around town, just how expensive you want it, is entirely your decision. More floor mats during the rain or along the bathroom stall,
Those large black bar mats behind the bar on the floor would do it
- Liubov (8/5): A good stay for its price - Good location, I could work there, lots of common space, but internet is not good in some areas:( you can come super late there is always somebody to open the door. Showers are not that comfortable, doors were not closing.
- Teresa (8/5): Very good - Only stayed 1 night and it was okay. Nice breakfast Beds in the dorm were very close together. Also didnt like the showers
- Fleur (8/5): Good stay - Location was very good, nice breakfast. Friendly staff and a clean room! Nothing special. Just a basic hotel :)
- Ruairidh (7/5): Good -
- Henri (6/5): Pleasant - many hammocks to chill
small kitchen to cook
breakfast water offered in the hostel is not drinable, smells really bad. Whwn mentioned to staff, they just say its filtered and want to sell their small waterbottles for a dollar
hosts took my food from the fridge even though it was labeled and put it to their stuff in their kitchen (got it back after asking, but wtf?)
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - This is a great economical hostel. Choice of breakfast included. Breakfast was great every day. There are many levels and many rooms both private and some dorms. Other guests were experienced travelers of all ages. Great upper deck to hear the ocean (and see a little bit of it) or gaze at the stars. Lots of hammocks and tables to spread out. Wifi was decent even in the rooms. I teach English online and it was strong enough on the upload to stream videos if I sat next to the door. The staff was so gracious and hospitable. No air con but fans on top of the bed that did a good job. Other guests were friendly and talkative I liked everything and the price was great for being a block from the beach for a private or a dorm bed.
- Mia (8/5): Very good -
- Kathryn (8/5): Very good - Excellent value for money and a great breakfast. There was also a friendly cat and dog around! Nothing - everything was great.
- Gloria (8/5): Very good -
- Jasmine (9/5): Would happily stay again despite the minor complications ! - It’s close by the beach, quick walk to the grocery store. Great hangout spots all over the hostel
Breakfast is a nice thing to have included, clean, nice staff, have playing cards :> It’s not posted anywhere when booking or at reception but they lock the doors at 22:00
They have a buzzer and they’ll come unlock the doors - but it’s a bad feeling to wake them up to let you in.
Our bedroom ( 2 beds ) only had 2 outlets which the fans were always plugged into. To charge anything , you’d have to sacrifice being in a hot room.
- Jacob (8/5): Very good -
- Alice (9/5): Superb - Great free breakfast, nice roof area, clean room (didn't see a single cockroach or anything), nice family and close to beach and everything. Weird bathroom door
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice owners, good breakfast and perfect location. Great common areas with lots of comfortable chairs and hammocks
- Masharqa (6/5): Racist place - Price is ok, location is good. Good breakfast, cute dogs. Very racist place. People not staying in the hostel went in and out, including several of my friends, but every time my Mexican friend came over they demanded he ID'd himself, asking him where he's from and what he's doing there, or straight up refused him entry saying visitors are not allowed, when they clearly are. Very sad to see this behaviour. Saw google reviews where other people had similar experiences.
Didn't get a blanket, got given a stretch sheet as a blanket. Denied another pillow.
- Ryleigh (8/5): Very good -
- Helm (8/5): Very good - Close to the beach Dorm to big ( 16 beds)
- Sander (9/5): Superb - Quiet and peaceful yet perfect location, spacious room opened onto a balcony with view of the sea (be prepared for weak shower, but it worked!), comfortable and cool room, perfectly clean, plenty hammocks, friendly staff, breakfast supplied (small but fine), honestly great value for money!
There is a very tiny kitchen with 2 hobs and a sink.
- Morgane (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was kind, breakfast was delicious, the dorm is so nice with tons of fresh air and a balcony perfect for your yoga practice 😜 and it’s full of hammocks fo just chill !
I stayed longer cuz I was sleeping so well !
- Nupur (9/5): Superb - The hostel is value for money. The dorms are spacious, clean, beds comfortable. They have a fan for each bed, so it is great for when it gets hot. Breakfast is included which is amazing for the price. Location is super close to everywhere you would want to go to in San Juan Del Sur. There are many common areas to relax with comfortable hammocks and chairs. Recommend !
- Jonohal (10/5): Fantastic - Exceptional Value. WiFi is excellent given the large number of people in this hostel and the included breakfast is very good for a freebie. You may also eat other meals there should you wish for reasonable prices. The room prices are exact too, so you won't be charged a penny over your booking rate - they're very precise with this which is always appreciated. Location is excellent too, with only a 1 minute walk to the beach, supermarket and centre. Hammocks galore :)

- Mira (7/5): Good value - good value, friendly staff and comfortable bed. Really loud at night, not a very comfortable common area.
- Loskar14 (8/5): Very good - Place was great. A great terasse uptstair with hamacs. Good free breakfast. Room was hot as hell. Not that clean. Nothing to cook with in the kitchen. In fact horrible kitchen. The guy at the reception was no help when we had questions (we do speak spanish)
- Selina (9/5): Superb - Nice price especially with the breakfast! You can only pay cash, but booking says also card is available.
- Louis (8/5): Very good - Big comfy beds, friendly staff, nice Court yard The kitchen could do with some love
- Karen (8/5): Very good - The lady running the hostel is lovely! Also really good location & many, many hammocks :-) A showerhead + actual curtains would have been nice
- Josseling (8/5): Very good -
- Yubraham (2/5): Very poor -
- Nathan (2/5): Avoid. Unclean and poor service from staff and owners. Not good value for money - Not much to like about it if I’m honest The private room I had was well below standards, dirty and cobwebs everywhere. The customer service is also very poor, I reached out multiple times via messages on booking.com and received no reply. The owners seemed to talk very little English which is not a problem but they need to respond to customers messages. Was also charged considerably more than my booking stated. Was charged in cash on arrival and it did not come close to what my booking stated. Worst place I’ve stayed on my whole 3 month trip. Avoid
- Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wondering (9/5): Superb - Great value with the breakfast included. Central location and the staff was helpful and friendly. I liked the comfy beds There's some construction work at the back that brings some noise and dust to the near by rooms. The shower room of the 9 bed dorm haven't seen a proper cleaning in a long time. The 4 people dorm at the front was really hot
- Lachlan (1/5): Bad - Had money skimmed/stolen from a wallet in a locked private room. There are no lockers in the private rooms so be careful with your belongings. We only left the room for an hour to have dinner downstairs when the money was taken and the front door was still locked when we returned. Other than one of the reception staff, the staff are not friendly and will not give you as much as a smile.
