Boasting a garden, shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Hostel Clandestino Maderas is set in Playa Maderas, 600 metres from Maderas Beach and 8.1 km from Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. Wow, this hostel is just something special! We are so happy we stayed here. It is beautifully located, surrounded by nature and with breathtaking views. The open, well equipped and clean kitchen is a place to meet other travelers and is the perfect spot to hang out between surf sessions. The rooms and bathrooms are super pretty and clean! The skate bowl and yoga deck were for sure another big highlight! The greatest thing were the people running the place. They even take care of you before you get there! They send you all info beforehand and they organize social events, day trips to other beaches, pizza night and they are always there to answer your questions. We think it is outstanding for this price! All guests matched that vibe and therefore has the best time ever! We will for sure come back to this magical place! The little hill up is also no problem because you can rent boards directly down at the beach ;) Thanks for this amazing time!

La Urraca Loca Hostel has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Balgue. Featuring barbecue facilities, the property is located within 12 km of Maderas Volcano. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. 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.

Hostel Julieta is set in Rivas, 33 km from Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua, and has a terrace. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

All rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. All guest rooms at Hostel Julieta come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Great value option to stay overnight in Rivas for onward travel or longer. Close to the centre and a short cyclecab ride from the Ticabus stop. The room was small but very comfortable, and Rex, the owner, couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. I'd definitely stay here again. Rivas itself is very pleasant and definitely underrated.

Located in Moyogalpa, Sophie House offers 3-star accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi and free private parking.

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a patio with a garden view. All units at Sophie House are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. It’s a bit aside from the port city Moyogalpa, so it’s very calm and almost no cars and people here, but still easy to reach by foot from the Centre (15 min walk). It has breakfast included and it’s home cooked food by the family. My room was very spacious, with 1 double and 1 single bed. They had outlets outside and inside, so i could work online here. Ask for both WiFi passwords! The host family was very nice and always tried to help, like when I needed a dentist they found a number. They don’t speak English (as most locals here) but with my broken Spanish and google translate we always understood each other. You can also ask them about the laundry option. Thanks for hosting me!

Staff all very friendly and helpful, would definitely go back.
