Studio in Ometepe

Great Host!

This was a beautiful place to stay in Ometepe, the property was great and had everything we needed during our stay, the kitchen was particularly great for anyone who likes to cook and the herb garden was lovely to have as well. It’s in a gorgeous location, very private and has one of the best sunset spots on the island. The host were great, very friendly and always responsive. Helping to resolve any issues within an instant and also helping to arrange transport for us which made it a very stress free experience. I would highly recommend staying here, we hope to be back soon!

Our stay at this place was not what we had hoped for. In my opinion, the price being charged is way too high for what you get (especially considering we’re in Nicaragua). The value for the price felt low. Check-in was fairly easy and the host was very responsive, but there were many mosquitoes, nothing at all to block the morning sun, and it was very hot throughout our visit. The bed did not look exactly like the photos and was very uncomfortable, the WiFi was barely working, and the place was dusty despite being told that the cleaner had been there right before our arrival. I am giving a low rating partly because of the price in relation to the experience, which I do not think is justified

Host Response

Thank you for your feedback, Roni. We’re sorry to hear your stay didn’t meet your expectations. We always aim to provide a clean and comfortable space, and our cleaner had prepared the house right before your arrival. Ometepe is a tropical island, so mosquitoes and warm weather can be expected, and we provide fan to help with comfort. The house and furniture are exactly as shown in the listing photos. Regarding the WiFi, it is the best available in our rural location, though sometimes service can be inconsistent. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to improve.

10/10!!!! If we could of stayed longer, we would have! It was a bit hard to find, I highly suggest following the YouTube video that is sent to you for directions as it helped a lot but once you’re there, it’s beautiful. The kitchen has everything needed, the bed was comfortable and the shower had hot water!! It was super cute. Loved it - recommend it !!! 🤩🤩❤️❤️ also host was super helpful as we needed a place last minute, super communicative!

The place is very nice, great view of the volcano. I would recommend not arriving by car, or at the very least have big wheels as the dirt road is very bumpy. There were power outages on the island and we were not at all affected thanks to the solar panel, except for the wifi (the provider was affected by the power outage). Little to no cellular reception on the property and the dirt road leading to it. Overall a very nice stay that makes you feel connected to nature. Our first Eco home stay was a success!

Thanks so much for your feedback🙏! we're really happy you enjoyed the stay and the nature around. we'll definitely make sure to add a note about the road to help future guests prepare.

The property right on the lake is really a fantastic place and we really liked the privacy you have there. The furnishings and amenities are also very tasteful and thoughtful. Of course, we were prepared for insects and other living things to be avoided in a place in the middle of nature. We would still have liked the house to be a little better shielded against it, because there were really many visitors. The toilet was unfortunately unsanitary when we arrived, but I think that was because the last cleaning was not immediately before our arrival.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the toilet and the number of little visitors you encountered. We’re already working on improving both the cleanliness and the protection against insects, and we really appreciate you sharing this with us.. It helps us make the experience better for future guests. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the privacy and the beauty of the place🙏

Wonderful location, it was off the beaten track, by which I mean it was off the road where the main road turns to unpaved, but we rented a couple scooters, which was very easy to coordinate with Anna's team, and had a absolute blast. We are not young, but we loved scooting around the island. Anna's place is also very cool. Off the grid, which I was curious about, it turned out better than I anticipated. The composting toilet didn't smell, that was my initial worry, but the staff (like elves!) cleaned it without even being seen! Full kitchen, though we didn't cook (I don't think I could have traveled with eggs on the scooter). The decor was lovely & natural, the informational signage was clear & a nice touch. Best part was the spot. Totally private, except for the horses and the fireflies and the random toad who hung out with us on our last night. I swam while hanging out with herons. It was magical. I would, and hope, to come back someday.

We absolutely loved our stay at seed, it‘s a beautiful well-thought through space with a beautiful garden and your own entry to the lake. If you’re into nature and meeting all kinds of animals, small and big, this is for you. I would want to point out that the space really is off the grid and very secluded. As we had unknown human visitors entering the space while we were gone, I was glad I was there with my partner and not just by myself. Pablo & Liya we’re always reachable and quick to support on issues. The only things that we were lacking were a coffee machine and more comfortable seating options, as for us the displayed futon couch was not fully available. I would totally and whole heartedly recommend staying there though!

We are more than happy to have stayed in this little haven of peace. A beautiful ecological experience, in the heart of abundant nature. The 2 volcanoes are visible from the courtyard, it's absolutely wonderful. A real relaxing, intimate getaway, but at the same time accessible to visit the surroundings and attractions of the area by scooter. The hosts are super enveloping and generous with their time. My boyfriend and I will definitely repeat the experience and we have also already recommended it to our loved ones🙏🏻☀️. A big thank you for creating this little gem! Next time, Gaby & Max
