Rainbow Caravan Hostel, hotel in Las Pilas

Situated in Las Pilas, 17 km from Maderas Volcano, Rainbow Caravan Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

The place was very clean and tidy, tranquil, and no noise at night which is rare in Nicaragua because there's always someone making some noise. The food was quality, homemade vegan goodness. Making a fire was cool and it has all the modern amenities like a fridge and cooking equipment so you can bring beer. Didn't have any bugs unlike some of the other hostels i stayed in on Ometepe. It's quite a good location equidistance between the two towns and near the start of Volcan Concepción. I recommend renting an ATV rather than a scooter at the port and picking it up in Ometepe, don't trust the people on the San Jorge side. The hostel also offers scooter rental although I picked mine up at port. Very photogenic hostel and peaceful.

We absolutely loved the welcome Mark and Lisette gave us. The location was fantastic and breakfast and supper is really good. Mark gave us a Salsa workshop, which we really liked. They really did their best to make your stay unique. It is also very nice that you can rent a scooter right from the hostel.

Amazing concept of sustainability! Beautiful surroundings. You can start climbing volcano Maderas from the hostel which is very challenging but it worth. The food is incredible and not so expensive, about 4 $ . Staff are incredible helpful and owner very kind . Grazie

hostal Eco-Lodge La Chiponga, hotel in Santo Domingo

I really enjoyed my stay at La Chiponga, the staff was really nice and helpful with facilities and good advices for activities ! They really care about how you feel. The hostel is made of recuperation materials and it’s really good. Monkeys are literally living with you, you can particularly see them on early mornings and sunset time. Very good location, just in front of the beautiful beach of Santo Domingo.

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.
