The accommodation is really great! A little piece of heaven:)

Le logement est vraiment top ! Un petit coin de paradis :)

Loved staying at this airbnb! It’s close to everything and feels private. The view is gorgeous and the house is beautiful.

Beautiful, spacious home in a magical setting. Liya and Javier were very responsive and friendly with communication, especially in regard to an issue that arose with the house; Javier did his best to coordinate a quick assessment and solving of the situation with a professional, and Liya was fast and proactive in offering compensation for the challenges we faced due to the issue. Amazing location with a stunning view in very close walking distance to fantastic restaurants and the entire town of Balgue itself. Highly recommended.

The place is located in a very unique location, surrounded by trees and a peek of the lake could be seen. Large and very airy place. On our last night the power went out around 10pm and stayed out until after sunrise, considering the private location, it got pitch black. The host brought me candles and it all worked out.

Really spacious, private and in walking distance to nice restaurants. Especially enjoyed all the little areas to hang out in the house! We enjoyed it.

A little oasis! We felt like we had our own hidden gem in Ometepe. Location was super close to everything we wanted to do (sunset at Playa Mango, horseback riding at Finca Montania Sagrada, Saturday market in Santa Cruz, etc). Great restaurants just a few minutes away (the hosts have a welcome book with great recommendations). The place was very clean and comfortable with multiple fans and a filter for water. If it’s available, book it!!

We enjoyed our stay here! It is located around many attractions and easy to find. Very peaceful location, we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place!! We absolutely loved our stay here, the place has great natural light, lots of space and a big bed which was very comfortable!! The host was amazing and sorted us with taxis, scooters & a guide to hike the Volcano! The place is in a perfect spot right near amazing food options too!

Good communication. Regarding cleanliness, there were issues such as a dirty pillowcase, cobwebs, a wasp nest, and some dust, but other than that, the place is tiled and just like in the photos. There are a lot of windows, so it feels a bit lacking in privacy because the curtains move and are see-through.

Buena comunicación, detalles de limpieza como cobertor de almohadas sucio, telarañas, panal de avispas y algo de polvo pero fuera de eso el lugar está pavimentado e igual que en fotos. Hay muchos cristales así que se siente un poco sin privacidad por qué las cortinas se mueven y transparentan.

Was such a great trip. Thank you for letting us stay.

Very responsive and gave great recommendations for food and entertainment. Would book again!

Liya was a fantastic host, and communication was top-notch. The place was exactly as described—peaceful and surrounded by nature. I had minor issues with the property, but everything was addressed promptly by the hosts. The entrance to Airbnb was a very dark path to reach the property. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking there at night alone.

Lovely stay, very peaceful✨ well situated as well.  Suuuuper confortable bed! Gracias to you both🤌🏼

We loved liya’s place. The location was perfect and it felt like home in no time. We needed help with a few things during our stay (extra blankets, as one single sheet we found not to be enough. And trouble with the lights and internet)and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. The home was a little dirty and needed some love in certain areas but nothing major. Overall, wonderful stay and worth the money. We would definitely return.

Lovely big and airy house in El Madroñal in pretty surroundings. Liya and Javier were super hosts and communication was easy which was an added plus to the entire stay. Would highly recommend!!

Pleasant, spacious home in quiet area with beautiful views. Good communication with the owners. Enjoyed it

Aangename, ruime woning in rustige omgeving met mooi uitzicht. Goede communicatie met de eigenaars. Hebben ervan genoten

It was amazing! Very beautiful location. Garden is just incredible. A lot of animals around. We saw monkeys, dears, blue butterflies, parrots and some other birds. Liya answered all our questions and was very helpful. Photos of house correspond to reality. Thank you for this opportunity to stay at such beautiful place.

Beautiful and peaceful location, close to to many delicious restaurants in the heart of Balgue, me and my wife absolutely loved the location highly recommended

The house is really nicely secluded but still central. The view is a dream. Lots of wind and draft. Kitchen amenities were sufficient. Communication always quick. The furnishings are functional. You have to expect insects, but on the whole it could be a little more well-kept.

Das Haus ist wirklich schön abgelegen und trotzdem zentral. Der Ausblick ein Traum. Viel Wind und Durchzug . Ausstattung der Küche war ausreichend . Kommunikation immer rasch. Die Einrichtung ist zweckmäßig. Mit Insekten muss man rechnen, im Ganzen könnte es aber etwas gepflegter sein.

Wonderful place, very peaceful and full of nature!

Awesome larger spot with cool lake view over the forest. Classic Ometepe bug/animal encounters in and around the home (Scorpions, centipedes, spiders, bats etc etc.) Great location just above a couple of restaurants if walking, with a moto everything’s 5 minute accessible in Balgue/Santacruz areas. Great host, great stay, stoked!

Beautiful place in nature with beautiful plants around and with a view over the lake. The house is spacious and nice. Liya communicates very clear and quick and is helpful. So i would definitely recommend the place!

Second time staying here. Never disappoints. Amazing space!

We had been trying to figure out where to book on Ometepe, vacillating between choices, and then we found Liya's place on Airbnb.  We jumped on reserving it, and we weren't disappointed; though we did have a few hiccoughs.  To be clear,  we were there during the rainy season, and this comes with its host of challenges -  and we had a few.  That said, Pablo was attentive and quick to respond.  My only "rainy season" recommendation is that if you are driving a car, you may want to consider a 4x4 as the parking area can get pretty muddy.  In any event, the setting is gorgeous - we spent a lot of time outside sitting under the awning, watching birds, monkeys, butterflies - and rainfall.  We thought we might regret not being on the water, but the setting made up for it.  There are restaurants nearby that were  excellent.  Though there is no AC, all of the windows and door are screened, and there are both cieling and floor fans.  I usually run hot, but I was very confortable.

Such a beautiful space. Even better than the photos.

We had an amazing stay — the house is large and spacious, with fans and a very big, comfortable bed, and a well-equipped kitchen. Liya responds quickly to any questions and helps with anything… I definitely recommend it

Nice house. Quiet place. Comfortable bed.

Linda casa. Lugar tranquilo. Cama cómoda.

Liya was very helplful, friendly and always available on the phone to respond which made our stay very beautiful. The view is so beautiful and the master bedroom super confortable. Thank you for hosting us, we hope to be back soon. A must if you stay in Ometepe. It's near all the best spots like El Pital, Bustavo or Maiz.

As a family with small kids, finding the perfect vacation spot can be tricky, but this Airbnb exceeded all our expectations! The king-size bed was a dream for a good night's sleep, and waking up to the beautiful view each day was just magical. We really appreciated the quiet neighborhood, which allowed for peaceful mornings and evenings. Check-in was super easy, setting a positive tone right from the start. What truly set this place apart was the stunning garden – it was a tranquil paradise where we spent many happy hours, and our child absolutely loved exploring it. A huge bonus was the mosquito net screens on the windows and the ceiling fan, which meant no bugs whatsoever; we could enjoy the fresh air comfortably! The host was exceptional: always responsive, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful, offering great local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. Every detail, from the comforta
