This hotel felt like home. The owners are very friendly and helpful. At the hotel there was everything I needed, a comfortable bed, a small kitchen and place to wash your clothes (by hand). Everything was well organized, place ws well maintained and clean.

Nice, relaxing place right next to the lake. About 10-15 minutes walk to the ferry or town centre. The rooms are very clean. Daniella and Tony are super nice and friendly. You can also have nice meals and laundry done.

The best view you will get in Nicaragua, awesome if you want to surf Colorado and if want to stay in a place with a good vibe. Food and coffee are incredible. Stop looking for another place and go there.

It had a very nice vibe. Small but pretty. It’s a very calm and relaxing hostel, ideally when you want to get your head free and be close to the beach. The staff is super friendly. For this price you definitely won’t find anything better. I life in Managua and will definitely come back!

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.

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.

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 :)
