Accommodations in Balgue

Stunning location. The photos don’t do it justice.

Don’t think twice! Book Totoco Eco Resort! Absolute bliss. Beautiful property, peaceful and serene. Not to mention being able to shower looking up at the amazing stars on ometepe was a pretty special experience. Would absolutely love to return some day 😊

Absolutely stunning property situated in the middle of the jungle with beautiful views. You are right in the middle of it all - the sounds, smells and views are all amazing and so relaxing. Breakfast was unreal and staff was lovely. This was a beautiful experience for us!

Huge property, very private with gorgeous views. The staff were so kind and helpful - they arranged our cars to/from omtempe and helped us rent ATVs. There is a farm on the property and they use the food from there at the restaurant, the food was fantastic! There are also several hiking trails off the property and we got great massages. Also, it is clear Selvistas is very invested in the local community and economy. Everything seems to be done with sustainability and locals in mind. Pictures don’t do it justice. Highly highly recommend!

Great location with exceptional view on the volcano. The host is super nice and helpful. Rooms were clean. Overall great!

Enjoyed the bathroom provided on the door rooms, included fans, restaurant, location

Everyone at the hotel was super nice and helpful to us, specially Carlos which we had the chance to share some time with him. The room was nice, the AC was working smoothly and almost noiseless, the shower had hot and cold water with a good amount of water and the hotel itself was feeling really peaceful, with a nice garden area with some chickens around. To us, after some days in cabins and eco houses, having nice walls and some crystal windows was what we were looking for. The lake is just at one side and you can see it while having breakfast, which by the way is pretty good. The place is close to some interest points of the island. I can only recommend the place.

Great location in Balgue town, super nice common areas and it's always clean. Apart from that, both the owner and the staff are very welcoming! Finally, they provide some taate and fresh food for a reasonable price. Totally recommended!!!

Such a special place! The permaculture and mushroom tours taught me so much. It’s more than a hostel—it’s a whole experience. Great food, peaceful yoga, and beautiful jungle all around.

The staff was amazing and super accommodating. Very kind and friendly. Helped us out with moto rentals and the food was good.

Beautiful location. Walking distance to main road with some nice restaurants within 30 mins. Information booklet in the room was helpful. Help to rent mopeds, organise transport, guides etc. The room was spacious, bed was really comfortable, hardly any creepy crawlies (this is a complaint from many of the eco lodges). Good wifi. 2 fans which was nice. Good shower pressure and temperature.

You can tell this hostel was put together over years with care and attention. Furniture is all handmade by local craftsmen, for example. I spent way too much time in one rocking chair that I wanted to take home with me. Estelle the owner and her family give it a very homey touch. Filtered water is free! Highly recommend it.

The property offers an incredible sunset view right from its backyard—truly a highlight of the stay. The owner is warm, accommodating, and genuinely helpful. He arranged a fantastic taxi driver (Delsi Moto) for a full-day island tour, which turned out to be a great experience. Highly recommended.

Private, peaceful spot in Balgue, only a few steps away from the water’s edge. Loved waking up in the morning and being able to look straight out onto the lake. Would highly recommend this place!

Our room was spotless, the WiFi is excellent, and the communal kitchen is a huge bonus. The hostess is really friendly and will help with anything you need, from logistics to rentals or tours. The breakfast she makes each day is excellent and rotates between four main meals. You even get a welcome drink on arrival! The location is great, surrounded by greenery but still close to restaurants, markets, and the Finca Magdalena approach to Maderas volcano. We stayed five nights and we’d happily stay again!

Nice location and facilities. Wish there were screens on the windows to prevent insects from entering. I really enjoyed my stay though, and the host is really nice and helpful.

We loved the rustic feeling of the cabaña, which was airy with probably one of the most comfortable beds we had on our trip. The kitchen is simple but has everything you need to feel at home and be able to cook if you wish. There are places nearby to buy supplies if you do want to cook for yourself. And a comedor just across the road. The owners are lovely and very open to making suggestions. The garden is open and relaxing. There were kids and chickens nearby and not at all an issue for us. We walked a lot to see the lake and a nearby chocolate factory.

Finca Ometepe was the highlight of our visit to Isla Ometepe! We enjoyed the warm hospitality of our hosts, Hanna and Hakan, who welcomed us to their home, shared their food, showed us around the farm and made us feel at home!. It was a very special experience for all of us, we had never experienced something similar on our travels before. We picked organic greens for salad together, participated in milking the goats, searching for eggs, processing Cacao and Cafe grown on the farm, enjoyed making our own pizza in their clay oven, and baking the most delicious brownies from their cacao (and recipe!). The farm is beautiful and relaxed, the casita has comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and spacious outdoor dining area with hammocks to relax in. Breakfasts where homemade, yummy and varied, and on top of all of these, hauler monkeys visited nearby every morning!

The location was amazing if you want to experience the jungle that Ometepe has to offer. I woke up to the sound of birds and monkies! The view is amazing and the whole farm felt quite and peaceful. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind as well. Having a restaurant on site was convenient (they opened at 6am). The hotel is a bit far from the main road, but you are right at the base of Maderas volcano and not far from a beach to enjoy the sunset. I recommend doing a tour with a guide there! It was the highlight of my time in Nicaragua. They were able to describe the interesting history of the finca, as well as identify birds, animals, plants and insects during our hike. I had a lovely experience. The hotel is definitely not luxury, but the simple living was part of the magical experience. Each room was clean and provided a bug net and fan. The beds were comfortable and clean!
