Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Beautiful sunsets and delicious breakfast here with some fun events for guests

Negative: There is a smell of sewage which permeates through the room throughout the day. They clearly have a problem with their septic tank.

Summary: Beautiful sunset and delicious food

Positive: Location right at the beach, good breakfast, chill vibe. Close to a small supermarket and a few restaurants.

Negative: For surfing you have to walk along the beach for 15-30 min (depending on the spot), so no surfing right at the hostel! AC turned off during the day (8am till 8pm). Free water tastes not good. Not the most social hostel.

Positive: This was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in!! The upstairs girls dorm was soooo beautiful, and the vibes here are unbeatable. Super yummy restaurant, and right on one of the nicest beaches in the area with a gorgeous sunset every night :)

Negative: there wasn’t anyone at reception much, so it was a bit confusing when checking in. I think it was just a staffing issue which happens, and it really wasn’t a big deal at all!

Positive: Staff was generally nice and helpful. Other guests were also friendly. (Mostly surfers in their 20's/30's.) Food was good. Location was excellent, right on the beach. Great sunsets, nice/pretty beach, good swimming. (Watch out for intense waves though.) Generally quiet, peaceful, undeveloped area, nice natural beauty, though some small bars/restaurants nearby. Lots of stars at night. I liked the hammocks (overlooking the beach), the fact the dorm beds had curtains, and the fact there was storage under the beds. And that you could lock the storage area somewhat. (They gave me a small padlock to use for that.) Rented me a beach towel for 5 days for only $1.00. Small market nearby was helpful for snacks/drinks. They have a small fridge for food items. Beginner's Bay was about a 20-30-minute walk away. Main Surf Break was a little closer.

Negative: The water from the sink was just a trickle, difficult to work with. The shower stopped working once while I was using it, took 10 minutes or so to start up again, and I was covered in soap. The toilet didn't work very well (people kept clogging it a bit with toilet paper, despite being requested not to), and it took a long, long time to re-fill. (The sink/toilet pipes just need to be enlarged apparently.) The A.C. was either on or off, with no apparent ability to set a specific temperature, so it was either hot in the dorm/bedroom, or it got very cold by the middle of the night. There is no cross ventilation in the dorm/bedroom, which is a problem in a hot climate like Popoyo. The power went out my last night (it often flickers out due to the heavy wind off Lake Nicaragua, but this time lasted for hours.) There was an emergency generator that kept some of the lights on, but not the electricity/lights in my dorm room. So no A.C. for most of that night. They did set up fans which greatly improved the situation. So they do try to address any problems, but if you definitely always need power, this is something to consider. (Seemed like some neighboring places still had power, though those may also have been relying on generators.) No communal kitchen to use to cook your own meals, which is preferable if you're staying anywhere for awhile and want to keep your costs down. Also no large grocery stores around, although a small produce truck does drive by daily hawking wares through a loudspeaker.

Summary: Not bad, could use some basic fixes in key areas. Will likely try another Hostel next time.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The location was fabulous - right on the beach. We had a private room which was lovely

Negative: There are ongoing renovation works but they didn’t bother us. Because this is Nicaragua there are occasional power cuts but there is a generator for light and this is outside the control of the hostel. February is windy!!

Summary: Like living in a Bounty advert 😊

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Gorgeous spot, right on the beach. The building is one of the only examples of traditional architecture I’ve seen in a place as touristic as Popoyo so that was a real nice surprise, the high ceilings, airy feel and traditional tile work was all stunning. The manager Gabi was super accommodating and kind.

Negative: Our stay was nice but slightly tainted by the fact there was no filter water available and that the kitchen would be closed for hostel use despite the very expensive price of being able to eat out every day. As a backpacker, no kitchen facilities is a real crunch point, especially when there is no cheap restaurants anywhere close - we got a loaf of bread that cost nearly $5 and was immediately stale… the options are limited. We got moved into a room where the stairs were genuinely pretty unsafe to walk up and the fan, bathroom light, water from the tap did not work. This being said I know at some point bits will be updated. The vibe wasn’t great for backpackers, it’s hard to meet people.

Summary: Great locations, needs some tweaks.
