It is a very lovely place to stay. The breakfast was delicious. The terrace is a perfect spot for sunset. I would definitely recommend it.

The hostel was one of the best we stayed at across our entire 5 month long trip. I doubt there is a better place to stay in all of San Juan.

Amazing hostel! We didn’t stop talking about how much we loved it the 4 days we were there. We stayed in the private room with sea view and it is so beautiful to wake up to that view, plus we had a monkey chilling outside our window most mornings and evenings! The breakfast is exceptional, and so well thought out. Kitchen has everything you need, we even made our own cocktails in the blender. Baba and his friend are really doing an incredible job! There’s so many beautiful birds around the property too, it’s great swinging in a hammock enjoying the view. The hostel is also extremely chilled and peaceful.

The story starts with Baba the owner and builder of the hostel. Very comfortable surroundings. Hammocks, pool table, community kitchen area with seating around a nice table or bar like sitting looking over San Juan Del Sur. Babas eagle’s nest it could be called as the view from the three decks is Beautiful. the three decks at the different levels gives anyone that wants there own space can have it. Baba’s friend Selene makes a breakfast every day to die for. Worth the price of entry. Mr Baba is very Knowledgeable and is a great help with good information. Wether you want your laundry done, rent a bike or the best good priced restaurants in the area Baba is your man.

It is a tie between the breakfast and the craftsmanship of the place.

It’s a lovely place with a nice breeze and an excellent view of the beach. Clean and comfortable. Baba is very kind and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone.

The host, Baba, was so welcoming and wonderfully helpful. The place was so clean and so comfortable. The location was in a quieter part of town with great views but still close to everything. This was our favourite place we stayed in Nicaragua!

The most amazing free breakfast which changes everyday. Stunning views over the town and far enough away to get a good nights sleep. Staff were excellent.

This place is exceptional! The owners are the kindest people, super helpful and genuine, the location is good (10 min walk to the town), the roof terrace has the best views - breathtaking sunsets -, the room is big with a comfy bed and hot shower and the breakfast is the best we had since traveling. There is a kitchen to use on the terrace which is well equipped and you can enjoy the view while cooking. You can also grab a drink from the stocked fridge and pay afterwards, all drinks are 1 dollar. This was very very convenient. The hammocks, couch and pool table are a nice addition. Just loved everything, thank you for the amazing stay!

It was a nice, calm area very close to the city and the beach. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts are so kind and helpful, could not be a better stay in san Juan del sur! And also, the view is breathtaking! Definitely recommend!!
