The owners have created a paradise in Balgue. Loved every bit of it and I think they are travellers themselves because some details were already arranged in the rooms and the facilities. I felt pretty relaxed in the hostel and the people who run it and work for it organised the activities I wanted.

I stayed at one of the further away dorms, elsewhere land, and I loved it! surrounded by a lush forest, it is an awesome place to feel the jungle life of Ometepe (yes it includes one or two bugs). I enjoyed their yoga, and the permaculture tour. Decent pizza, good food overall. Interesting people around.

I got here by accident, after being traumatised by seeing a scorpion in the bed of another place I was about to check in prior. Super happy I got to this place, it deserves 10 ++! The dorm for 25 dollars was an absolute amazing experience, you could hear the waves, it felt like you were on a cruiseship! Dorm is spacious and very comfortable.the bunk beds were designed in a very practical way that gives you a lot of comfort.you have dedicated space and locker in the bed itself for extra stuff to put in there. The room is big, airy, high ceilings, lots of natural light. The building is made of concrete walls and windows, which prevents scorpions from coming in like the wooden houses would. Not sure if the shower had hot water or I didn't know how to turn it on. There are events every night. People at the restaurant and reception very friendly and polite.I wish they had more Nicaraguan food and less international mixes, but you can always go find places to eat outside. At night it is pitch dark on the road, so make sure you are accompanied/have a flash on you.

The uniqueness of the hostel is unreal. The authenticity and the little bit of magic that is here makes this place an amazing stay! By far coolest hostel. Having a nice big kitchen and fire pit makes it feel like home. The animals and the fruit trees. The stories about each of the caravans. If your looking for a vibe this is it!

This was one of the best hostels in all of my travels around Nicaragua. Daniela and Tony are the kindest, warmest, most considerate hosts ever. I would go back just to meet them and spend time with them. The property is tranquil, right by the lake (one can watch amazing sunsets just stepping out of the ranch). It is a short walk from the Moyogalpa ferry point. The area is super safe, I had no problems reaching the property way past sunset the first night. The ranch property in itself is beautiful - a lot of thought put into it. It is a paradise with so many trees, plants, flowers and animals and cool aesthetics. Daniela's breakfast is the best I had in Nicaragua. You simply cannot miss it! The dorm is spacious, clean, beds are comfortable. There are areas to sit out and hammocks to relax. Highly highly recommend!

All hostels in Balgue

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.

    An amazing hostel, with the friendliest and most helpful staff and lovely chill vibes. Super clean and comfortable, this is definitely the best hostel on Ometepe Island and I would recommend it to everyone :) They have a well-equipped kitchen to cook in and a tasty menu - try the salad bowl and the crepes they are soooo tasty! There is a cosy hammock chill out space too.

    Very nice hostel in a great location. The kitchen has everything you need and gets cleaned daily. The upstairs hangout area is comfortable and spacious. I used it for my yoga practice and just put two hammocks down to have a bit more space. The owners are very friendly and answer any question you might have.
