Guest reviews for Raindance Hostel
"Good location in the right part of Ometepe. While this is considered the party hostel, I found it still relaxing and enjoyable as the dorm rooms are located away from the bar. Bar area has the swimming pool, pool table, plenty of seating areas, restaurant, small gym, and a poker table. Bed: The “cages” around the beds were actually really nice, I felt literally protected from the bugs, bed was comfortable and clean, and it felt cozy to have my own little pod like space. The room was big and clean, lots of airflow too. Each dorm room has a locked door for safety and is near the bathrooms/showers"
"Toilets/Shower area was okay. cold water only with mixed pressure but got the job done. Yes there are bugs but in my time there I didn’t run into anything too crazy and they leave you alone. I think it would be an easy fix if they installed insect nets over the shower walls and the doors were kept closed. Different people saw bigger bugs in the rooms and showers so be prepared for it but again, they look scary but don’t actually get near you. And the hostel staff says they will catch them for you if you ask. One morning they didn’t have water in the dorm area."
"This hostel is exceptional on all levels! Cristopher the manager and Charly the co-owner are a 100% hands on deck to make everything perfect for guests to have a good time. Staff at bar and reception are really friendly, cheers to Jose, Danny and Lis for their continuous great service. Overall this is a huge 5 stars for me, the ambiance feels really energetic from early morning to late night. They are also well known for their Wet Wednesday parties which i had to DJ for as a volunteer and it was a blast 🔥"

"I think Raindance is a must stay in Ometepe. Its facilities are great, with lots of common areas, rooms are huge and it has a pool. It also hosts a party on Wednesdays so it's convenient to be staying there if you want to go. It's very social, everyone I knew was staying there. I was between this hostel and another, but ultimately chose Raindance because of the mosquito-net cages, and am happy to have done so. Ometepe has many bugs and animals and I felt safe from any unwanted visitors during the night. That peace of mind is amazing."
"Very hot in the rooms in the morning, but you do get individual fans which help out for a comfortable night of sleep."

"We love the location and the amenities. The apartment was very well decorated in the beach theme. Super quiet and in between 3 holes on the incredible golf course. We played a couple rounds. The kitchen was awesome and super modern. The pool is a few.steps away. Very nice and relaxing. All in all perfect."
