Our stay was a unique experience. It's super individual and there's so much love in every corner. You can just feel comfortable, this is a place to relax and at the same time offers the opportunity to get in touch with great people. The bus we slept in was clean, cozy and you had a lot of space. The shared toilet and shower have also been clean at all times. There is even a kitchen and fire pit. Ometepe would certainly not have been the same without this place. We just had a wonderful time! Thanks Julie, you were a super accommodating and lovely host!

Unser Aufenthalt war eine einzigartige Erfahrung. Es ist super individuell und in jeder Ecke steckt so viel Liebe. Man kann sich einfach nur wohl fühlen, dies ist ein Ort zum Entspannen und bietet gleichzeitig auch die Möglichkeit mit tollen Menschen in Kontakt zu kommen. Der Bus in dem wir geschlafen haben, war sauber, gemütlich und man hatte super viel Platz. Auch das gemeinsame Klo und die Dusche sind zu jeder Zeit sauber gewesen. Es gibt sogar eine Küche und Feuerstelle. Ometepe wäre ohne diese Unterkunft mit Sicherheit nicht das gleiche gewesen. Wir hatten einfach eine wundervolle Zeit! Danke Julie, du warst eine super zuvorkommende und liebe Gastgeberin!

Thanks so much for your beautiful smiles and warm hugs! A joy to host you!

An unique experience on Ometepe! Our stay was particularly pleasant thanks to a quads that allowed us to get around effortlessly, as the location of the place is quite central to the island. The school bus, which serves as an accommodation, conveys a nostalgic flair and creates a cozy atmosphere with hostel and camping elements. Julie was extremely helpful and communicative which made our stay very more enjoyable. The kitchen and coffee was excellent, and the surroundings very nicely designed. I loved the concept of the place. Of course, it's part of having a moth or mosquito in the room from time to time, but this is part of the nature experience that is beautiful here. On the grounds there are even chickens and geese, which adds an extra rural touch to the stay. Seeing the Conception through the "jungle" in the morning was great. Overall, I highly recommend this stay.

Eine einzigartige Erfahrung auf Ometepe! Unser Aufenthalt war dank eines Quads, der es uns ermöglichte, uns mühelos fortzubewegen, besonders angenehm, da die Lage des Ortes ziemlich zentral auf der Insel liegt. Der Schulbus, der als Unterkunft dient, vermittelt ein nostalgisches Flair und schafft eine gemütliche Atmosphäre mit Hostel- und Camping-Elementen. Julie war äußerst hilfsbereit und kommunikativ, was unseren Aufenthalt sehr angenehmer machte. Die Küche und der Kaffee war ausgezeichnet, und die Umgebung sehr schön gestaltet. Das Konzept des Ortes hat mich begeistert. Natürlich gehört es dazu, dass man ab und zu mal eine Motte oder Moskitos im Zimmer hat, aber das ist Teil des Naturerlebnisses, das hier wunderschön ist. Auf dem Gelände gibt es sogar Hühner und Gänse, was dem Aufenthalt eine zusätzliche ländliche Note verleiht. Morgens den Conception durch den "Urwald" zu sehen war toll. Insgesamt kann ich diesen Aufenthalt nur empfehlen.

The best Airbnb I've ever been to! The bus was beautiful inside and very comfortable, there is also a kitchen and other shared areas such as the fire pit area and everything adjoins other adapted buses, the people who were staying were also very nice, it was a very nice atmosphere where we all talked and shared. The owner Julie was always very kind and attentive, she made us feel at home and also gave us many recommendations to have a perfect trip, another important fact is that she has a coffee inside the premises and her entire menu is too rich! The ingredients she uses are organic and fresh vegetables that she grows from her garden, which by the way is vegan, I highly recommend it! 💚🙌🏻 Yes, they are thinking of going on an ometepe island vacation, this Airbnb is the one for having an unique experience 👌🏻✨🌈

El mejor Airbnb en el que he estado! El autobús era precioso por dentro y muy cómodo, también hay cocina y otras zonas compartidas como la zona de fogata y todo colinda con otros buses adaptados, la gente que estaba hospedada también eran muy agradables, era un ambiente muy lindo donde todos platicábamos y compartíamos. La dueña Julie siempre fue muy amable y atenta, nos hizo sentir como en casa y también nos dio muchas recomendaciones para tener un viaje Perfecto, otro dato importante es que ella tiene un café dentro de las instalaciones y todo su menú es demasiado rico! los ingredientes que usa son orgánicos y vegetales frescos que cultiva de su jardín, que por cierto es vegano, lo recomiendo mucho! 💚🙌🏻 Sí están pensando ir de vacaciones a isla ometepe, este Airbnb es el indicado para tener una experiencia única 👌🏻✨🌈

I have a super cool experience, from the service to the place, it definitely met my expectations.

Me lleve una experiencia super chuza, desde la atención, hasta el lugar, definitivamente cumplió mis expectativas.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was just like the photos and peaceful. Highly recommended

Super location and great experience! Can recommend it to everyone.

Super locatie en een geweldige ervaring! Kan het iedereen aanraden.

Julie was a wonderful host who warmly welcomed and supported us. From the accommodation itself, we had hoped a little more in advance. If you are looking for absolute peace and quiet, this is the place to be, because the location is outside, so that a scooter is needed for tours, which Julie mediates. The cafe was only open at times, but breakfast was delicious. The shared bathroom consisted of an outdoor shower without hot water and two toilets. Very well maintained outdoor area, so at the end it was a very exciting experience for us for two nights.

Julie war eine wundervolle Gastgeberin, die uns herzlich empfangen und unterstützt. Von der Unterkunft selbst hatten wir uns im Vorfeld etwas mehr erhofft. Wer absolute Ruhe sucht, ist hier aber genau richtig, denn die Lage ist außerhalb, so dass für Touren ein Roller benötigt wird, den Julie aber vermittelt. Das Café war nur zeitweise geöffnet, das Frühstück aber lecker. Das Gemeinschaftsbad bestand aus einer Outdoor-Dusche ohne Warmwasser und zwei Toiletten. Sehr gepflegter Outdoorbereich, so dass es am Ende zwei Nächte eine sehr spannende Erfahrung für uns war.

The place is really unique and exactly like the pictures. Of course, you also have ant or mosquitoes or something in the room, but you are in nature, which is beautiful. there are mosquito nets, many seating areas and everyone is decorated with a lot of love. There is a fire pit, kitchen, the best hot shower in the country and everything was always clean and well maintained. how we felt very comfortable here and highly recommend this beautiful bus

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich einzigartig und genau wie auf den Bildern. Klar hat man auch Mal ne Ameise oder Mücken oder so im Zimmer, aber man ist eben in der Natur, was wunderschön ist. es gibt Mückennetze, viele Sitzgelegenheiten und alle ist mit viel Liebe dekoriert. Es gibt eine Feuerstelle, eine Küche, die beste warme Dusche des Landes und alles war immer sauber und gepflegt. wie haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und können diesen wunderschönen Bus sehr empfehlen

loved our stay at this very special place! as soon as you get to know the background of this hostel you will love this place even more! warm recommendation!

Would not recommend. Location wise it's very nice, but our bus was very moldy and smelled. The Bed was moist/not dry so we slept on our own towel. My girlfriend and I booked two nights but after one night and a horrible sleep we decided to leave. Don't know about the other busses, but the big one behind that is connected to the kitchen was our worst night of sleep during our 4 month travel.

We loved the stay at the Rainbow Caravan Hostel a lot! It was an amazing and unique atmosphere and vibe! The hostel was well equipped and the cafe with especially the Kombucha and Muffins were so delicious! I would love to go back any time. Thanks a lot for creating that amazing space ✨ definitely a recommendation when you’re looking for an accommodation in Ometepe!

We had a really lovely stay here, the campsite is in a beautiful spot with the caravans amongst the trees and plants. There are good connections with locals for tours and motorbike rental. Julie was really friendly and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to stay longer than planned. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something different than the usual hostel for a more outdoor vibe.

Super nice and adventurous hostel we felt so comfortable in the converted school bus and the surroundings also completely cared for us. We love camping and so the place was just right for us 😍 Julie is very accommodating and always there thanks for you 🙏🏽

Super schönes und abenteuerliches Hostel wir haben uns so wohl in dem ausgebauten Schulbus gefühlt und auch die Umgebung hat es uns total angetan. Wir lieben es zu Campen und somit war der Ort für uns genau das Richtige 😍 Julie ist sehr zuvorkommen und immer für einen da danke dafür 🙏🏽

cool place, very unique. easy check in even when we arrived at night. very cool to see how the set up was. every one was different. you must have High tolerance for bugs, you are in a jungle type place. I'm a big baby so not really enjoyable for me. inside the bus was clean. had some bugs as expected. part of nature. if you love nature and want to feel like you're camping in the wilderness then this is your place. she has dogs who are friendly. Julie was very accommodating.

Great experience, it felt unique! We stayed only one night but would definitely come back for a few more days.

It is a really nice and cool place. Feel like in a movie. Julie really nice and help us in every thing we need

It‘s a beautiful place, like a little jungle paradise:-) I would definitely stay here again, maybe in the main season when there are some other guests to socialize with;-) Julie was also very kind and helpful (she brought some honey when I was sick!:-))

Julies Camping Hostel ist beautiful The Vans are all really Unique and beautifully built. The night i arrived i Had a Huge ant nest in the Bus Over the bed Julie offered me another Bus for the First Night and told me she would get tape and peppermint oil for the ants In the End i Had to find a solution myself. Before booking i asked if there would be wifi in the Bus - due to work i needed it. The answer was yes , the reality was i didnt even Had a Signal in the Bus. Kitchen would Need an Upgrade (glasses/cups/…) The location requires renting a car or a motorcycle Oh and there is no sinks in the bathroom- brushing teeth is only able in the Kitchen or shower All in all a beautiful Place, and if you are ok with no/bad wifi, lots of mosquitos and ants, are planning to Rent a vehicle : GO for it

Really loved staying with Julie and Bob in there compound! There’s also a lovely black cat that roams the premise and I adore them. The bluebird bus was great and spacious though I will have to say wifi connection was pretty bad. I would have to sit outside in the hammocks to check literally anything and for some reason I would lose my own personal signal back there. It forced me to sleep without being on my phone but I would sit outside for awhile trying to catch up on things. I loved staying within the premises but I would choose another bus until another extension is added for the bluebird. The first bus I stayed in was actually perfect!

BEST. AIRBNB. EVER. Wish I could of stayed forever!

We loved our stay here! Super fun and unique. Comfy bed and roomy van with privacy. Julie is very helpful as well! Also convenient location within walking distance to Ojo de Agua

You and your family warmed my heart. Blessings and thank you.

The converted bus was very nice, we slept very well:) In the morning you can open the door in the back and enjoy your coffee in nature. The kitchen with all the utensils you need is right next door. We would have liked to have stayed longer, we felt immediately comfortable! Highly recommended :)

Der ausgebaute Bus war sehr schön, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen:) morgens kann man die Tür hinten auf machen und seinen Kaffee in der Natur genießen. Die Küche mit allen Utensilien die man braucht ist direkt nebenan. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben, wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt! Sehr zu empfehlen :)

I had the best stay, loooved the bus! The whole area is just so peaceful and grounding and it was also great to have the possibility of cooking my own food. Thank you for being so welcoming and making me feel so comfortable Julie, I loved staying at your place and I might be back soon! :)

I had a magical time there. This place is so calm and special!Julie communicates very quickly and makes sure we have everything we need. She is very caring. I felt really safe and at home. I will miss this magic bus!

We LOVE the Place, it is like a dream with a lot of love

This is an unique place. You feel home the minute you arrive. Lovely surroundings, beautiful old busses converted into an absolutely comfortable and well equipped sleeping place.

A unique experience with friendly staff. Slightly expensive for what it is, as a very basic accommodation with shared facilities. Some of the caravan’s windows don’t shut fully so just a note if you’re not keen on bugs.

This place is wonderful. Everything is made with love. There was really nothing to complain about. Many thanks especially to Adam who helped us with all our questions.

This place is amazing! Words could not describe how I feel about my stay. Amazing community that makes you feel belong the moment you step in the property, amazing atmosphere in the bus with a little private fire pit in the back yard, amazing real authentic local village. I had the best time.. could not ask for it to be any better:) definitely recommended!! And would definitely come back:)

The buss was really cozy and nice experience! Also the kitchen was good and the host was really helpfull. I give my best recommendations.

A mega cool facility. There are several old vehicles on the property that have been converted into nice little flats. The bus was very spacious and cosy. The kitchen was large and quite well equipped. The Wi-Fi was not the most stable but okay. There is practically nothing around. The nearest supermarket is in Altagracia. There were also no fruit stands nearby. But we could order a fruit truck for the next morning. All in all, a super nice place to stay :)

Hi Patricia, thanks so much for your review!   I just want to note for others reading that we do have a fruit stand within a short walking distance, a pulperia (general store) within 200 meters, a bar and restaurant that serves pizza on weekends and typical Nicaraguan food the rest of the week across from the pulperia, we are located directly at the base of Concepcion for hikes, we are 3.5km from Ojo de Agua and 3km from a beautiful beach.  Reach out to us and ask if what you want is nearby and we can let you know!

One of the coolest set ups! Huge bus and super comfy. Nice little town near the natural pool. Great communal kitchen on site, or an awesome pizza restaurant just down the road. Very accomodating host! And a brand new hot outdoor shower!!
