We absolutely loved staying at Rancho Tranquillo. It is right across the lake so you can enjoy swimming and the sunsets. Daniella & Tony are very welcoming and friendly. We had a very delicious breakfast made by Daniella. Their property is also so great, there are all types of animals running around and you can pick fresh mangoes from their mango tree. They were also kind enough to let us leave some of our luggage so that we could rent a scooter more easily and travel around the island.

The most wonderful and magical place to stay on the island if you are a nature lover. The place is great, in the middle of the jungle, the staff are wonderful, food is so tasty. They organise daily activities such as yoga, cacao ceremonies, permaculture tour etc. It’s a eco sustainable place, japanease showers, and know that you are surrounded by nature, so it is what it is, if you look for a fancy place it’s not here, but if you look for authenticity, to learn from Chris the owner who is super knowledgeable and grow everything here, it’s the place. Great vibe! Beds are confortable and clean- they have muskito nets you have to use :-) I highly recommend, and I am definitely coming

The friendly staff, the bar atmosphere and the good food. I also love the pod beds with privacy curtains and they actually provide a USBC cable in the beds which was helpful because I left my charger in the last hostel I stay in!

The place was very clean and tidy, tranquil, and no noise at night which is rare in Nicaragua because there's always someone making some noise. The food was quality, homemade vegan goodness. Making a fire was cool and it has all the modern amenities like a fridge and cooking equipment so you can bring beer. Didn't have any bugs unlike some of the other hostels i stayed in on Ometepe. It's quite a good location equidistance between the two towns and near the start of Volcan Concepción. I recommend renting an ATV rather than a scooter at the port and picking it up in Ometepe, don't trust the people on the San Jorge side. The hostel also offers scooter rental although I picked mine up at port. Very photogenic hostel and peaceful.

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.

Learned this was one of the original hostels on Ometepe. Breakfasts and dinners were freshly prepared with local ingredients. Their dogs and cats were very nice to spend time with. The hosts can lease scooters and deliver them for competitive prices. Communication with host prior to and during stay was excellent.

The hostel is clean and staff members did a good job overall. I found the staff to be really helpful and effective problem solvers. The Wednesday party meant I did not have to figure out a way back after and the music cannot be heard in the room. They do excellent food and there are a few decent places nearby for food and drinks.

the Staff are just incredibly nice, they make you feel very welcomed and at home, they are very proud of the views they have to the volcano in the hostel, and they should be because it is amazing! the room is good for the price but nothing luxurious. It is comfortable, safe and in a very good location!
