Located in Moyogalpa, Rancho Tranquillo offers beachfront accommodation 34 km from Maderas Volcano and provides various facilities, such as a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi and a tour desk are featured.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All units at Rancho Tranquillo are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. This was one of the best hostels in all of my travels around Nicaragua. Daniela and Tony are the kindest, warmest, most considerate hosts ever. I would go back just to meet them and spend time with them. The property is tranquil, right by the lake (one can watch amazing sunsets just stepping out of the ranch). It is a short walk from the Moyogalpa ferry point. The area is super safe, I had no problems reaching the property way past sunset the first night. The ranch property in itself is beautiful - a lot of thought put into it. It is a paradise with so many trees, plants, flowers and animals and cool aesthetics. Daniela's breakfast is the best I had in Nicaragua. You simply cannot miss it! The dorm is spacious, clean, beds are comfortable. There are areas to sit out and hammocks to relax. Highly highly recommend!

Set in Santa Cruz, Raindance offers beachfront accommodation 1.7 km from Santo Domingo Beach and offers various facilities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a bar. The accommodation features nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property.

At the hostel, every room includes a terrace. The units feature a safety deposit box. The friendly staff, the bar atmosphere and the good food. I also love the pod beds with privacy curtains and they actually provide a USBC cable in the beds which was helpful because I left my charger in the last hostel I stay in!

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 accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. 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.

Learned this was one of the original hostels on Ometepe. Breakfasts and dinners were freshly prepared with local ingredients. Their dogs and cats were very nice to spend time with. The hosts can lease scooters and deliver them for competitive prices. Communication with host prior to and during stay was excellent.
