Guest Houses in Balgue

Incredibly view. Great apartment. Felt spacious and clean.

1000% recommend staying here! Very chill environment and the owners truly make you feel like part of the family. They have the biggest hearts and they also keep the facility very clean and comfortable feeling. We will miss this place for sure

We loved the relaxed vibe and how everything is set up and decorated, it's really really beautiful and we enjoyed just sitting around on our porch immensely! the location is great as it's away from the crazy hostel stuff but not too far with tons of great local places near by. Getting to all parts of the island from Balgue was ideal as well and everywhere you turn you see one of the volcanoes since you're right in between them. If you turn right from the place you get back into the main hostel area in a few minutes (on bike) and if you turn left you find really beautiful roadways and scenery and you can get away from all the "traveler" stuff. Cafe compestre is just down the street (2 min walking) where you can get a really really good cappuccino. My boyfriend also got a haircut across the street haha. The food they made us was so so so good (our favorite if we HAD to pick was probably the burritos, and they make some of the best smoothies on the island). we were also able to get our moto bike and kayaking through the family as well, and everything was a really good price and easy. On day 4 or so we found a hole in the tire which they fixed in just a couple hours and they didn't charge us which we really appreciated. There was a power outage one evening (it happens on the island from time to time) and they set us up with a candlelit dinner and we just loved that (picture below). The family who owns this are truly wonderful people and we felt really at home, possibly too at home as we were supposed to stay 5 nights and we stayed 9 or 10 😂. I usually got up early and worked a few hours in the balcony seating area with a coffee or smoothie, so can confirm working here is also no problem. For context, I was working fully online building a webpage with large files so internet needed to be really functioning well, and it was :)

We loved the cabin. It is really good equiped, two very comfortable full beds, fans in the ceiling and in the bedrooms, internet 🛜 available very strong if you wish to work there too.

Food was delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly

We had an amazing stay at Hostal Bullshark! Friendliest and sweetest accommodating hosts, the prices couldn't be beat, and it was really an incredible location for what we wanted: peaceful, close enough to run down the hill to the beach, proximity to the famous Ojo de Agua can't be beat. Great, affordable motorcycles available to rent on-site, the most comfortable hammocks! Very private and perfect for couples or families who are looking to experience Ometepe's incredible nature in a well-placed, authentic setting. If we ever return to Ometepe we will be back!

Very relaxing, quiet and the couple who owns the place were exceptional, bringing delicious breakfast every day, fresh fruit and juices and happy to chat with me and help with my Spanish skills. I really enjoyed staying here and would book again in an instant if I come back to Ometepe.

this beautiful place is run by a wonderful, friendly and hard working family. they served me a delicious breakfast every morning, and a few times I had dinner there, and it also was delicious. They take pride in their property, constantly cleaning, and fixing things. the view of the lake was absolutely beautiful, it was a pleasure to view every morning during breakfast. I would recomend Cocibolca House B&B to anyone who is seeking comfort and relaxation, which is what I found. my greatest joy was watching the cute little grandaughter running around the property, filling the air with her laughter and joy. I also made friends with their cute and frendly dogs. They really are a kind and beautiful family, and I am hoping to come back one day soon.

Mayline was a wonderful knowledgeable host
