    This family is the salt of the earth! Truly. It's not fancy but it's everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed. I got in a motorbike crash my 2nd day on the island and aquired road rash over 25% of my body. I don't use doctors, but I definitely needed a nurse!! For days now, they have been helping my husband and I with taking care of my wounds and literally treated us like family. The kids are sweet and played with mine (language barrier didn't matter). The dogs are a joy. The cat hasn't talked to me yet but seems cool. I'm just so grateful that we booked our reservations late which resulted in us finding this place! It's just a few mins from the ojo de agua and 20 mins from Balgue. The views are beautiful, nica food is great (and they cater to my vegetarian needs), beautiful garden, chickens, roosters, and a big ole pig. If you wanna stay with family that is excited you're visiting.... Stay here!

    Stayed here for three nights while on Ometepe. Mark and his lovely family were so welcoming and kind. The food was amazing! $3 breakfast and $6 dinner, very tasty. Mark sorted out a guide for us to hike one of the volcanos and gave us all the information we needed for any activities. The hostel is still growing and they are still building rooms and beds but the hospitality they showed compensated for the unfinished areas. Clean rooms, clean showers, great location. 100% would recommend.

    Very nice and homely hostel! It doesn't have a kitchen, but you can get home cooked dinner every evening and a proper breakfast in the morning for a reasonable price. The owner Mark and his family are very helpful and caretaking.

    Nice and simple accommodation and authentic Nica home cooked food. All the family are so helpful and friendly. We also used their recommended guide Diego for Maderas. His passion for his country, community and environment was outstanding. Compared to other guides his co-op might be a little more expensive but you pay for quality.

    Awesome experience. It's a new hostel, so it won't be glamorous. The beds and rooms are fine, but the real treat is staying with marc, lizzeth and their family. Marc and lizzeth, the owners, are incredibly accomodating and will help you out with whatever your plans are on the island. The make you great home cooked meals if you choose to stay for them instead of going out elsewhere. I can't recommend this place enough. It was my favorite place I stayed during my time in nicaragua.
