The bamboo cabin - Cabins for Rent in Balgue, Rivas, Nicaragua

Had a lovely stay, immediately felt home in our bamboo hut. Che is a perfect communicator

Staying at El Bambu was an absolute pleasure, and Che was a joy to get to know. We will definitely be back.

Che was an extremely helpful host.  He was super communicative, helped with things to do, and is very proud of the place he’s built.  The cabin itself was very clean and it was the only place I stayed in Nica that had a hot shower, which was awesome.  Location was good, too.  Close to a number of cafes and restaurants.  One note for future guests - it ended up being slightly more rustic than I usually like; open to the elements in areas and felt close to neighbors.  But, it was as described and I’m confident that this place is great for most guests.

This place is like little paradise! One of the best place that I ever saw for Airbnb. Che is great and he is taking care everyday of the place (garden and view are outstanding!). If you looking for break from civilization but with comfort this is the place. Already miss it…

Everything was great, we enjoyed it very much! Alvaro is very nice. There is nothing to complain about in the room and the location was also excellent. Would we book again at any time

Alles top, es hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Alvaro ist sehr nett. Beim Zimmer gibt es gar nichts zu beanstanden und die Lage war auch hervorragend. Würden wir jederzeit wieder buchen

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The huts are a bit off the beaten track but still easy to reach and above all directly in nature and on the lake. Che and Indira were always available, very friendly and had good tips for Ometepe and our departure in stock. The only thing I can complain about was the ant infestation in the kitchen, but that's probably the price you pay when you're in the middle of nature. Otherwise, I can fully recommend the accommodation

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Hütten sind etwas abseits aber trotzdem gut zu erreichen und vor allem direkt in der Natur und am See. Che und Indira waren immer erreichbar, sehr freundlich und hatten gute Tipps für Ometepe und unsere Abreise auf Lager. Das einzige was ich bemängeln kann war die Ameisenplage in der Küche, aber das ist wohl der Preis wenn man mitten in der Natur ist. Sonst kann ich die Untwrkunft vollstens empfehlen

We had a brilliant stay in our cabin! The garden setting is beautifully maintained, peaceful and full of wildlife. We spent an afternoon just relaxing in the garden hammocks and it was so lovely. It’s an easy walk to several great restaurants, but you still feel like you’re in a quiet, hidden spot. The cabin is very well built and comfortable, with everything you need for a longer stay. Che was a warm, welcoming host who was always very quick to respond with suggestions or help if we needed them. He is a kind and honest person. I would definitely come back and stay here again!

Great place to explore the island. Comfortable cabin with everything you need.

We had a great time at Che's place. He is a great host and always available for help and advice. The cabins are lovely and practical - the lake breeze at night was great and the garden was perfect for chilling in. Wifi speed was very good for area (handy for our meetings). There are a few great restaurants close by and plenty of small grocery shops for basics. The hot showers were just what we needed - very rare to find here!

The cabin is prettier in real life than the pictures show! The host and co host and VERY helpful and friendly people. They treated us like friends. Towards the end of the trip we got ourselves in a bind and Che (the owner) called us personally to offer lots of helpful tips in navigating our situation to the point that we were able to clear up our problems perfectly. The co host, Indira, is also very helpful as she is a bank of knowledge in all things Ometepe & can help with anything you need. The sounds of waves crashing is what you’ll fall asleep to each night as the cabin sits just feet from the water. Unforgettable experience staying in this cabin. We will definitely return.

Pure magic.  Words can’t express the tranquility of this place, but I’ll try to describe it… artesanal, impeccable, meditational, wildlife I’ve never seen, and total relaxation.  We came for a night but stayed for three days.  I only left because the ocean was calling me back to the Pacific sea.  I’ll be back here soon.  Gracias para todo.

I love the location of cabins. It was my 1st time there and i didnt get the best treatment from the owner. I overpaid one night- no refund. No water for a couple days didnt really try to help me get water. He sent me where to get services after i seen him in passing. It should have been given to me the 1st day.  He responds quickly to messages. If i didnt have friend or meet nice people , i would have been unhappy.  I wish  Alvaro was better to me, but i feel it was all about money. I was kind to him. Im at peace with my experience, but i wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at the Baboon Cabin. Nice location though near a body of water.

Hi Tamara, I personally told you that you should talk about the refund directly with Airbnb since we as hosts are not allowed to give money to our guests. Regarding water, nowhere on the platform do we offer drinking water for human, however in my cabins there is usually some since the water is from the spring and we use special filters to make it drinkable, given the great drought of recent months we do not There was water in the community system and therefore the water tanks were filled with water from the lake and you were told that it was not safe to drink, and as I said before we do not offer drinking water service. So at no time did the cabins have water problems, since the shower, toilet and kitchen sink were always working. I feel that your review is ill-intentioned since it contains some things that are not true. Finally, in your private comment you talk about problems with your flight, I don't have to take care of them, those are problems between you and the company

We will always be happy to come back to El Bamboo :)

Wir kommen immer wieder gerne zurück ins El Bamboo :)

really lovely stay, right in the thick of nature. responsive and helpful host. well equipped kitchen and drinkable water. one night there were people above us which was a bit noisy but with ear plugs was all ok to sleep.

An excellent option to stay. Well-equipped private kitchen, comfortable private bathroom and cool at night. Che was very attentive to everything and we had great conversations.

Excelente opción para hospedarse. Cocina privada bien equipada, cómodo baño privado y fresco por las noches. Che fue muy atento con todo y tuvimos grandes conversaciones.

We loved staying in Che's place at El Bamboo! He was an extremely helpful and kind host, who gave great suggestions on local places to eat and local hiking routes for the volcano. El Bamboo has great lake views and wildlife, and a very serene atmosphere, as well as proximity to great restaurants in the area. One huge bonus that we didn't realize upon booking was that the cabin has potable water, which is amazing and convenient. We would recommend anyone to stay here if you're interested in spending time on Ometepe. We didn't regret our decision for a moment!

Amazing little cabin in a very nice and calm location in Balgue! The cabin was spacious and had a good bed as well as shower. The communication with the owner was really good and he helped us with the ferry schedule etc. It was very windy our first night, which was very noisy (also because of the waves) so we did not sleep that well the first night, but the storm was pretty much over the next night and we slept good to the sound of calm waves! I can highly recommend this place!

Excellente lugar para descansar. The lake air refreshes us, as it is located in front. It has everything you need to eat. You'll stock up on everything you'll need. And Mrs. Indira takes care of us very well . Happy stay.

Excellente lugar para descansar. El aire del lago nos refresca, pues es ubicado al frente. Tiene todo lo necesario para hacerse de comer. Se abastece cerca en todo que necesita. Y la señora Indira nos atiende muy bien . Estancia feliz.

Amazing tropical cabin and area! Lots of great places close by to walk to and lots of great recommendations of things to do from the host!

Alvaro’s (Che) place was more than we expected. It was beautiful and peaceful, the cabins were lovely. Che was extremely helpful and always offered great conversation and insight into the neighborhood. Highlights were picking fruit and herbs from the garden!

Che was really friendly and helpful. The place is cute and well located

We had a great stay! The communication with Che was perfect & he always tried his best to make us feel comfortable and happy ☺️👌 Also he had best connections with the locals to get good conditions for us like guides, scooters and all that stuff! We would love to come back one day.. ❤️

What can I say. Alvaro (Che) was a lovely host. He came over and showed us with pride what he was growing in his gardens and how he built his cabins from scratch. Our El Bamboo cabin was very rustic but it grew on us. No tv, great internet though, no microwave or stove but the basics with a propane camp stove, fridge, blender. Great shower with tepid water, potable water out of the tap for drinking. I loved the mosquito netting as if made me feel as if nothing could bite me in the night!! Very quiet location except for the dogs barking at odd times and the roosters trying to wake us in the morning. If you want a change then you will love El Bamboo.

It is a very nice, clean and well-located rustic place

Es un lugar rústico muy lindo, limpio y bien ubicado

A cozy bamboo cabin with lots of space, kitchen suitable for a longer stay and work, and I enjoyed a delicious French press coffee grown locally

This place is, hands down, the best Air BnB I’ve ever stayed in. Che is an absolutely incredible host - nothing is too much trouble - and the location is unbelievable - literally tucked away in forest with a view out to the lake, and with sunset views of the volcano 20m along the coast. The cabin is a work of art - with an authentic rustic edge whilst stilling having all the conveniences you could need. 10/10 recommend this as your place to stay on Ometepe

Alvaro is a very cool person. He gave us ginger and mangoes from his garden. When we had problems mot ants, he instructed someone to solve the problem.

Alvaro ist ein sehr cooler Mensch. Er hat uns aus seinem Garten Ingwer und Mangos gegeben. Als wir Probleme mot Ameisen hatten, beauftragte er jemanden um das Problem zu lösen.

Che was amazing! El bamboo was a paradise, and I loved the experience!

Great stay! Che was an incredible host, the location was perfect, and the setting couldn’t be more beautiful. Best place to stay in Balgue!

Our three nights in El Bamboo were very good. The accommodation is very nice and clean. We came with the scooter of Moyogalpa. Alvaro is super helpful and was always available. Absolute recommendation

Unsere drei Nächte in El Bamboo waren sehr gut. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und sauber. Wir sind mit dem Roller von Moyogalpa gekommen. Alvaro ist super hilfsbereit und stand immer zur Verfügung. Absolute Empfehlung

Looooved this place from the moment I arrived! Che is awesome and super helpful! He even showed me where to pick fresh ginger and turmeric from his garden. The bamboo house is Beautiful! You can tell it was built with a lot of love, skill, and intention. You can see the lake from sitting in the bed! And fall asleep to the sound of the wind and the waves. When I realized there would be people staying upstairs, I was a little worried about noise, but it really wasn’t an issue - you know when people are up there, but it still feels private. I was really excited for the kitchen so I could cook for myself, and I did, but there are so many great little cafes to eat at too very close by. I definitely recommend El Bamboo. I could totally see myself staying there for a few weeks or months. Ometepe is now one of my favorite places in the world. Already wondering when I will be able to return!

Bamboo is a great place to stay in. Good WiFi (streamed sports), hot water, all the necessities of an apartment, and most of all, one of the best hosts you’ll find on Airbnb. Gracias Alvaro.

Great little spot tucked away by the lake. Simple rustic living with everything you need to be comfortable. Would recommend to any traveler.
