We have had a perfect stay. We stayed with our family. This location is perfect for family and individual travelers. Very close to the center, close to restaurants (all on walking distance). The owners are very friendly and know a lot about Rivas and Ometeppe. We recommend this place.

The location of the hostel is just perfect. Small cabins surounded by coconut trees. Its remote but you feel safe all the time. 5 min walk to the beautiful beach of Popoyo. Trent couldn't be a better host. In the morning you get an awesome breakfast with fresh fruits from the area and in the evenings Trent will explore the local kitchen with you.

We felt totally safe and enjoyed that it was a 4-5 minute walk to Playa Marsella. Playa Maderas was an 8 - 10 minute motorcycle ride and there were 3 or 4 more restaurants to choose from as well as options for surf board rentals and lessons.

We stayed in de dormroom, they are double beds. We were with two friends and shared a bed, it's a little bit tight but still comfy. The deck with pool is amazing and it's only a 10 minute walk to the beach. Loved the vibe and the staff. On top off that the breakfast was amazing! Actually the food in general is very good, especially if you take the size of the kitchen into account. They were also very accommodating when we wanted to drop off our surfboards a couple days before our stay

All hostels in Rivas

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.

There were only two redeeming qualities this hostel possessed to make our stay somewhat bearable: the volunteers and the proximity to Playa Amarillo. The volunteers were terrific, very friendly, very helpful, and excelled at giving the place some energy. The hostel is located just five minutes from Playa Amarillo, which was some fantastic surfing while we were there and something I would recommend to anyone that surfs, especially beginner to intermediate surfers.

Great stay at Ruamoko hostel. The owner welcomes you with a smile and kindness. The dormitory is big and spacious there are even 2 bathrooms in the room of 8! The sea is just next door and the atmosphere is really cool in the hostel. I recommend :)
