Reviews of Monkey House Hostel

Amazing view from the room and the restaurant where a good breakfast was included in the price.

Loud construction work happening on site during our stay and the WiFi did not reach to our room. The communal kitchen was tiny and felt dirty.

Amazing views here! We had the bungalow ‘ranchito’ this is such a nice room. You can see the ocean from bed. Everything is handmade with timber. Between the cliff breeze and the fan it was nice and cool inside. The food here is great, we had tacos, burritos, granola, smoothies and the Tuesday curry night was great! Walk to Playa Colorado/Panga was possible, we went a few times across the beach and over the hill in the jungle path. Took about 50 mins each way. Staff here were nice too. An incredible experience if you like good surfing and chill atmosphere with ocean views.

The kitchen is not ideal for travellers who want to cook but it is fine for refrigeration / hot water and cutting things.

Monkey House Hostel and restaurant has the best food in Nicaragua hands down. Their Tacos can be compared to Oxaca Mexico. It's well worth the extra $$ to eat there vs. the cheap local places, you won't regret it.

Other backpackers can be slobs and don't clean up after themselves. Don't be one of those.

Amazing place. The views form the hostel is incredible. Staff was nice. Great food

Rooms were really hot. Maybe some extra fans are needed.

The location and view is unbeatable. Staff were very friendly. Great price for location.

The beds weren’t great. Outdoor shower was quite dirty. Kitchen is too small for the amount of guests.

We had a great time here. Super friendly staff, great food (cheaper than surrounding restaurants too), cute dogs, insane view, and a really affordable price.

Everything was great

Great location with a beautiful view

The employees were super rude (i have been travelling for more than 1 year now and it is the first time i see that)

Amazing location with a beautiful view and access to two beaches. Food at the restaurant was really good, with several options for the included breakfast. Nice social atmosphere. Staff were very friendly, including one of the sweetest pups I’ve ever met. I stayed in the private bungalow, which was very clean and had a comfortable bed. No hot water, but I didn’t mind given how hot it was without AC- I knew this going in, and the room isn’t built for it anyway, just be aware even with the fan it was very hot at night. That being said it wouldn’t keep me from staying again.

Playa Gigante and the property itself felt safe, however as a solo female traveller, for my personal safetyI didn’t love that the lock on my door was broken. The owner tried, but was unable to fix it. Fortunately their dog took a liking to me and stayed in my room for several nights, so I felt better, but really hope they do prioritize securing the room for future travellers.

Felt like a was in therapy from morning to evening. So much privacy. Morning walk on the beach was amazing, usually was the only person. Insane views from the chill area. Food was really good. Mono loco smoothie tastes like heaven. Also staff was super nice and chill. Definitely going back. Thanks William and company!

Magical place, can only recommend it

Absolutely amazing, so so cool. I wish I had a few more days to chill at this magical place. The food was so delicious, bar / restaurant view over the beach was just breathtaking. Willam and the staff were super friendly. Gracias amigos!!!

Nada ;)

Good mattress Beautiful view

The room could use some more furniture, a shelf or rack for clothes and a mirror.
