"We had a lovely stay in Selvista! The location was perfect, close to so many great activities on Ometepe. The property itself is beautiful, with amazing views and peaceful surroundings. Everything was clean and well taken care of, and the staff was very warm and welcoming. The food was also really good, we felt well taken care of the whole time. Definitely a spot we’d recommend to anyone visiting the island!"

"I had the misfortune to arrive by bus from Managua on a rainy day. I thus had difficulty in finding the Hostal. When I did, at aout 7 pm, the person at the reception did not even ask to identify me, and I was led to a room with a window giving on the corridor, a small old sink giving only a tiny fillet or water, etc. Only cold water, but that seems to be general in San Juan. I eventually got used to all these "perks"..."

"The staff was friendly and tended to our concerns promptly. Unfortunately, there were many issues. Biggest one was that as of about midnight, we had no water. When I reported it in the morning, they fixed it right away.
Minor issue was the TV remote power button didn’t work.
They give you one bath towel per guest. The rest of it is a paper towel dispenser like in a public rest room. Not terrible but very unusual. I had to ask for shampoo, and they gave me three little plastic bags that they...

"First of all, the pics shown for this property are outdated as this house is no longer yellow, it's now white.
We were told that the check in was at 2pm; however, the house was not ready until 4pm, then the pics that shows multiple bunkbeds is also incorrect as there were only two mattresses directly on the floor. The lady coordinating the check-in blamed their office for having inaccuracies on their listing. After going back and forth she agreed to bring in a couple more mattresses in order to...

"We enjoyed our stay. Overall it’s an excellent spot on the edge of town and across from the beach. The rooms need blankets as it’s hard to monitor the ac and we were cold. The hot water in the shower was not hot, just tepid. "

"This hostel was cozy and convenient. It was walking distance to the main drag in Moyogalpa. We were glad that they had laundry service and helped us get set up with a scooter straight from the property. Would definitely stay here again! "

"The views from this place are stunning! Great view of the lake on both sides of the island, as well as a great view of the volcano (we came during rainy season so it was mostly covered by clouds).
The food selection is a bit limited and not the best we had on trip, but still good!
The best part about this stay was their massage service, I didn’t catch her name but WOW she did an amazing job and it was only $35 USD for an hour of the best massage I’ve ever gotten.
The local cat Coco who sleeps on the property is so sweet and cuddly!
My one complaint about this stay is that the main road was closed (not sure how it is normally), so you’re required to travel up a pretty steep and sketchy dirt road that is filled with large rocks - only certain types of cars can make it and it floods whilst raining. To get to the main road you need a way down this dirt road, which is probably a little over a mile. I felt too sketched out to go down it on the ATV’s you can rent (for $70 USD a day), but then you must pay for a driver down.
So, overall, the views are amazing but in order for those views you need to sacrifice being a bit out of the way.
We rented an all day driver for $75 USD who took us to the chocolate farm, ojo de agua, and playa de mango - all were AMAZING!
(My other complaint is that the mosquitoes here are out of control, my boyfriend got eaten alive. The rooms have a bug net over the bed but other than that have some openings to the outside, so we did have a cockroach)"
"This place is a jewel in Ometepe, great location, nicely decorated, clean, and excellent service. Allison and Sarai are very friendly, they gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat, and places to visit. We are grateful for their hospitality."
