Maria doesn't really speak english, but she definitely trys hard to make you feel comfortable! Also, the food is really good, you have to try the filete del pescado & banano con leche! We did not meet too many other backpackers in the 4 nights we stayed but nevertheless worth a visit.

    Super helpful and friendly host family. Hans and his mum helped me out several times and it was a pleasure to meet the family. The place had everything, was well equipped and super clean including new appliances, a big TV and even a washing machine. Rivas was an interesting small town with a nice square, church, park and a lot of small shops. I walked there every day and it took about 20 minutes.

    Great hostel close to the beach with amazing surf, a nice swimming pool and areas to relax. Everything you would want from a hostel near the beach. The owner is very nice and brings you to different restaurants around the hostel every night. Overall amazing.

    Sooo lovely hosts!!! Maybe one of my best experience in Nicaragua (which is not easy as all people there were so nice!). From outside, I was initially a bit scared, but as soon as I entered it all vanished. The apartment is simple but luminous and clean.

    Martha and Max are really firendly hosts, felt so welcomed! Enjoyed my stay there, as I got the feeling ofa homestay :) They are currently renovating their guesthouse - it's going to be super cozy! Parking lot is provided. Got a single room, which was kinda rustic- however clean. Would go there again!
