very good local, nice weather, good attention

muy buen local, buen clima, buena atención

Everything was perfect! The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable. The outdoor environment is quiet and spacious with the beautiful pool. Loved our stay. The only downside is that it lacks utensils and others to cook in the shared kitchen. I really recommend this place, the hosts are really kind and caring.

Tout était parfait ! La chambre était spacieuse, les lits étaient confortable. L’environnement extérieur est calme et spacieux avec la belle piscine. Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Seul petit bémol, c’est qu’il manque d’ustensiles et autres pour cuisiner dans la cuisine commune. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit, les hôtes sont vraiment gentils et attentionnés.

Clean room, nice garden to stay. Service very helpfull. I would return again, I recommend it. Breakfast, pleasant but very little and not very varied.

Great place and super nice hosts :) There was delicious breakfast and even the possibility to rent scooters

Tolle Unterkunft und super nette Gastgeber :) Es gab lecker Frühstück und sogar die Möglichkeit Roller auszuleihen

It is a very comfortable place, quiet and clean. The staff is super friendly and they also recommend places, options to visit, help you with transportation and so on.

Es un lugar súper cómodo, silencioso y limpio. El personal es súper atento amable y además te recomiendan lugares, opciones para visitar, te ayudan con el transporte y demás .

We were very pleased with our stay at Cyanthia's place. The room was clean and with air conditioning. The kitchen was a little sporadically equipped, but it was definitely enough. Breakfast was very tasty and everyone was very kind. We were able to rent two scooters without any problems and even got a short drive:D The only downside was that we found that the gates were closed off the premises at night and we didn't have a key to leave it on our own. That might have been nice to know.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt bei Cyanthia. Das Zimmer war sauber und mit Klimaanlage. Die Küche war zwar etwas sporadisch ausgestattet, aber es hat auf jeden Fall gereicht. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und alle waren sehr freundlich. Wir konnten ohne Probleme zwei Roller ausleihen und haben sogar noch eine kurze Fahrstunde bekommen :D Der einzige Minuspunkt war, dass wir festgestellt haben dass nachts die Tore vom Gelände geschlossen wurden und wir keinen Schlüssel hatten um es selbstständig zu verlassen. Das wäre vielleicht nett gewesen zu wissen.

Friendly staff and lovely stay. I can’t wait to come back again!!

Very nice accommodation near two beaches, which are 10 or 15 minutes away. There is a very well maintained pool with plenty of space to relax and unwind. In a large kitchen outdoor you can cook. Groceries are best from Rivas or San Jose, although there is a grocery store nearby. The one is very expensive though

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in der Nähe von zwei Stränden, die 10 bzw 15 Min entfernt sind. Es gibt einen sehr gepflegten Pool mit viel Platz zum Relaxen und Entspannen. In einer großen Küche im Freien kann man kochen. Lebensmittel am besten aus Rivas oder San Jose, obwohl es einen kl Lebensmittel Laden in der Nähe gibt. Der allerdings sehr teuer.

Clean, beautiful accommodation. Great value for money. Breakfast very rich and the staff and present are always very helpful and can organize practically everything.

Saubere, schöne Unterkunft. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top. Frühstück sehr reichhaltig und die Mitarbeiter und Anwesenden sind stets sehr hilfsbereit und können praktisch alles organisieren.

Great place to stay in Ometepe. Nice location, clean and safe. Super helpful and nice staff.

We spent 5 days there with our two children. The place is quiet, very well maintained and the breakfast is hearty and good. The team is very nice. We were welcomed by Memo who is adorable and has some great tips. A special thank you to him.

Nous y avons passés 5 jours avec nos deux enfants. L'endroit est calme, très bien entretenu et le petit déjeuner copieux et bon. L'équipe est très sympathique. Nous avons été accueilli par Memo qui est adorable et de très bons conseils. Un merci tout particulier à lui.

The place was everything we needed and more, it had the extras like WiFi, AC and a huge breakfast while still low priced and had workers who spoke English and Spanish to direct you to all the best spots in town and transportation to get you there. Also two big beds plus a couch for those travelling in groups

We made a really good choice with Hefziba. It is located at the exit of Moyogalpa, we asked people how to get there and they told us without any problems. A very attentive and kind gentleman who was willing to give us advice about the island was waiting for us. The stay was large and there were several rooms. Ours was spacious, there were 4 people, but we are a couple so we were very comfortable. The bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom with everything you need, the water was not hot, as it says in the description, it was fine because it was hot. The delicious and large breakfast we took in the area to relax where there were games and hammocks to enjoy. We recommend the place definitely!

Hicimos una buena elección con Hefziba. Se encuentra en la salida de Moyogalpa, preguntamos a la gente cómo llegar y nos lo indicaron sin problemas. Nos esperaba un señor muy atento y amable quien estaba dispuesto a darnos consejos sobre la isla. El hospedaje era grande y habían varias habitaciones. La nuestra era espaciosa, cabían 4 personas, pero nosotros somos una pareja así que estuvimos muy cómodos. La cama limpia y cómoda, el baño con todo lo necesario, el agua no era caliente, como dice en la descripción, estaba bien porque hacía calor. El desayuno delicioso y grande lo tomamos en la zona para relajarse donde habían juegos y hamacas para disfrutar. Recomendamos el lugar definitivamente!

Comfortable and cozy. Cynthia along with her cousin were great hosts. The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. Great place.

It was a good surprise finding this place. Confortable beds, A/C, nice big breakfast included, really nice and helpful staff. Location is good when you have transportation (scooter, bike, car) since it's at the outskirts of town. Good quality/price relationship.

Prima value for money. Location is a little out of the city center and doesn't match the map on Airbnb, but it's on Google. Stay was otherwise fine. 

Prima value for money. Locatie is iets buiten het centrum en klopt niet met de kaart op Airbnb, maar wel op Google. Verblijf was verder prima. 

Staying at Hefziba was pefect!  The space and staff were everything we hoped for, plus more.  Rooms were spacious, clean, and cool, breakfast options were generous and delicious, and transportation rentals were an added bonus.  I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else on the island :)

A beautiful property with clean, well maintained rooms. Octavio was an amazing help as was Memo. You won't be disappointed if you stay here.

Thank you so much to you and your group Cory!! So glad you enjoyed your stay =)

Cynthia was not present (as she mentioned may be the case in her description), so there was a little confusion with our reservation and we had the wrong room at first. The staff on site was very helpful in sorting the confusion out and set everything right quickly so it was really no problem at all. The daily breakfast was beautiful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the premises were pretty and well maintained. The staff gave good advice regarding activities on the island and were patient with our broken Spanish. One gentleman had excellent English, a nice backup plan for us.  The location is a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of the main blocks of Moyogalpa. We liked the quieter atmosphere. We also appreciated the gated surroundings and having a good safe place for the giant Toyota Helix we were driving around within those gates. The streets are poorly lit or not at all so at night you do have to walk in the dark a few blocks to get to restaurants or tiendas, which heightened our awareness but we didn't experience anything threatening or dangerous.   We highly recommend staying at Hefziba.

The location and the staff couldn't have been better.  We loved our room and location so much we stayed for a second night.

Though Cynthia couldn't be at the property during our stay she was very helpful in making sure all was taken care of for us. The staff who were there made sure anything we needed was taken care of as well and the breakfast was great! 

Very friendly and welcoming staff! The Villa is located close to the city center, but just far enough away to live in the lull of Ometepe! I recommend this place for your stay in Ometepe.

Personnel très sympathique et accueillant ! La Villa est située à proximité du centre-ville, mais juste assez éloigné pour vivre dans la l'accalmie d'Ometepe ! Je vous recommande cette adresse pour votre séjour à Ometepe.

Host Cynthia is not there so is more of a small hotel than home. Little personal interaction with the staff. Room is large clean with two good firm double beds w cotton sheets. Fridge worked well, wifi varied. Sometimes was necessary to leave room and go to front of house to get strong enough signal to do anything. Can be noisy as there are tables and chairs right outside the room where guests congregate and talk. Communication by staff was not as good as it should be. We were without having water and power in the evening(dark) for two hours or more the first night due to some workman onsite I believe and not heads up was given or explanation. Then we were again without water for over an hour 2 days later again with out warning explanation or apology.

Hi Jenise and Scott,  Thank you again for staying with us at Hefziba.  We do our best to accommodate your needs, including our student translator Lester who does his best with communicating in English! Not many islanders speak English so we are very grateful for him.  I am also sorry for the power outage and water issue. Unfortunately, we are not given any warning or explanation from the municipality either. This is how island life works sometimes! It can be an inconvenience at times but we learn to adjust.  Thanks again!

Hefziba provided a great place to stay while in Ometepe. It was close to the Moyogalpa port, had spacious rooms and bathrooms, and was very clean.  The staff was extremely helpful and breakfast was fantastic.  Would definitely recommend!

Hi Mike!  Thank you so much for the recommendation! So glad you enjoyed it =)

Memo was so helpful. The rooms were large and the beds comfortable! The lawn and gardens were exceptional! 

The house was very nice with a beautiful patio. Rooms were big and clean. Lester was very kind and helped us renting a motorbike and we could also borrow his bicycles. The place is 15mins walk from town. 

We had a great time at Hefziba! The place is really nice and welcoming, the room super clean, with comfortable beds and quiet (and effective) A/C. The staff very personable and helpful, we had our scooter arranged quickly and delivered at the B&B. We loved the traditional breakfast and great coffee served in the patio. Unfortunately we didn't meet Cynthia but she has been very responsive to our questions and she organized our transportation from the Managua airport to the island and our pick up at the Ometepe port. Highly recommended!

Cynthia's place was fantastic! Clean, beautiful and the staff were incredible. Can't say enough about Memo and Lester. They were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.  

Thank you so much Eric ^_^. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us! =D

We really enjoyed our time at Hefziba B&B.  The room was huge and quite comfortable with both a chair and a couch for additional seating.  The outdoor seating space was spacious and quite nice.  The B&B is located just a short walk to town.  On-site staff were very friendly and eager to help.  Cynthia was not on-site, but contacted us before our arrival, checked in with us after arrival, and quickly answered the one question we had.  We really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend this B&B.

My friend and i had a lovely stay at hefziba b&b. Unfortunately we were un able To meet Cynthia however her staff were extremely helpful for setting up tours and making us feel comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely Nicaraguan style desayuno. I would highly reccomend hefziba!!!

I enjoyed my stay at Hefziba.  Although I didn't meet Cynthia, her family members and the other staff were very helpful in arranging for tours and transportation.  The hotel is about a ten minute walk to town where there are many restaurants and ATMs.  I would stay at Hefziba again.

A nice quiet place to stay, well located to Mayogalpa main center.

We had a great time, the hosts, Memo and Ovtavio were very knowledgeable about Ometepe.  The B & B was very nicely decorated and welcoming.  The breakfast was delicious.  The views of Ometepe were gorgeous.  The hosts made out experience very memorable!  We would recommend to others that travel to Ometepe.  We are already planning a vacation next year to include Nicaragua and we would use this B & B again.  

Thank you so much for your kind words Sandra! =D  You are welcome any time!! =)

Great space, clean, great service, room 5 private room was spacious and well set up.  Free coffee, mini fridge.  AC worked well, no hot water showers.  Wifi did not reach all the way to our room.  Wonderful breakfast and help setting up transportation.  Really nice covered patio and a hammock that we hung out in nightly.  Wonderful experience.  Would stay again.

Thank you for your feedback Tori!  Unfortunately hot water showers isn't very common in Nicaragua xD  Glad you enjoyed your stay!!

It was a beautiful place. The staff was perhaps the best, they were full of recommendations and they called any tour people to the room. We were able to get horses to our door as well as scooters to roam the city. The breakfast was delicious, typical Nicaraguan dish and a bowl of fruit, plus the best served coffee! When we got to the island, they had someone pick us up and take us to the room. Easiest vacation ever!

Thank you for your review Jhoshua!  So glad you were able to explore so much! And that you found it hassle free! =D
