Definitely an amazing place if you want a bit of an upscale experience on Ometempe, there is a basket of fresh fruit near the open air kitchen that's free for all the guests to take and a pile of coconuts to sip on, what more could you need!

Nice and clean place to stay. The setting of the property is great. Breakfast is very good and enjoyable! You should expect some animals in the accommodation but this is part of the charm of the place!

Our favourite Central American stay! The property is stunningly beautiful and luxurious nestled in the jungle surrounded by wildlife. The rooms are immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and well-ventilated, complete with thoughtful amenities like a water filter. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a point system to create your own meal. It was a welcome change from months of local cuisine, especially the delicious sausages and bacon. The staff were incredibly helpful and mostly spoke good English. We had a minor issue with a guest taking some of our birthday cake from the fridge but the staff quickly made it right by offering free cake from their restaurant and even upgraded our room to one with a beautiful view of Concepcion Volcano. Their caring and thoughtful service truly stood out and was some of the best we’ve experienced on our Central American trip. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and we highly recommend Selvista/Bambouserie!

We had the best time! The staff was super nice and the location was insane. You could tell that everything was made with a lot of love for details and they offered great information about everything happening on Ometepe. It's not super easy to get to the hotel but it's absolutely worth it. Would definitely recommend☺️

The staff were incredible. The food was incredible. The place was incredible. The only issue we had was the actual bungalow's location, which is not disclosed in the description, but rather "mentioned" in the photos. The bungalow overlooks the restaurant kitchen which is busy from 6:00 am until 9:30 pm. Not a big deal, but definitely didn't give the feeling of privacy. We did speak with the manager about this and she said she would add it to the description. The experience overall was epic! We would definitely go back. I can't stress enough how wonderful the staff were!

We loved our treehouse at Christmas. Very cozy spot, would recommend it for sure. The shower was a treat a little cool and a good way to get refreshed after a hot day. Megan and Evelyn were very sweet and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and we really enjoyed the fresh fruit that was available in the basket. We had scooters rented for the week and that’s how we got around the island. Really cool island!!

Very beautiful place to stay on the island! Loved that you can enjoy all of the fruits & coconuts of the farm. It was also very interesting to walk around the property and see the farm on all of it's glory. Jackfruit was great! The cabin is very nice and the bed very good. The restaurant kitchen is close to this cabin so you get some noise and light at night from there but that didn't bother me that much. The breakfast was pretty good, I liked how it tasted but it could be a bit bigger portion sizes. Overall I enjoyed my stay here a lot.

We had an incredibly wonderful time at the accommodation. The house is in the middle of the jungle and we were woken up in the morning by howler monkeys. The restaurant is also very nice, with a great view and delicious food. We would come back! Thank you very much!
