Pros: Location is very close to the ferry terminal for the corn islands. The hosts were lovely. Really helpful contacting the captain of a cargo boat we could take from El Bluff when the ferry didn't turn up at Bluefields as scheduled on the Wednesday. The negatives that I have mentioned are not about the hostel . Cons: Bluefields. It is pretty much a transport hub, everything closes as soon as it gets dark! That nobody at the ferry terminal seems to know anything about the ferries, you get told so many different things, bad weather, boat is broke. If you are able to and can afford it take a flight. The ferry we took was a cargo boat at 2am from El bluff on the Thursday , the journey was horrific. One exception is there is a really nice bakery that does amazing pastries.

A great place to stay for catching the ferry

Pleasant

Pros: I believe that for the price, this place meets all expectations. The owner is very kind and willing to help. The room was clean, as was the bathroom, with soap, shampoo, and the hand towel changed up to 3 times a day (!). The area is fine, considering it's Bluefields, and it's super close to the port. The cats don't bother at all. For the money, it's really great! Cons: all good

Super friendly owner, super clean room and bathroom. All good.

Pros: Close to ferry, good basics, bed, fan and bathroom. All was clean. Cons: -

Very good

Pros: Really nice people, a feeling like coming home Cons: Everything was perfect

Exceptional

Pros: Doña Cecilia was a great host, always ready to accommodate us (e.g., helped us to arrange our bus and gave us information about the Palo de Mayo festival) and answer any questions that we had. Very warm and welcoming. Cons: -

Pros: Very close to the ferry, clean, comfortable. But the people were the best. I texted them after that I forgot something, and they kept looking for someone to get it to me, even 10 days later. Thank you so much! Cons: -

Pros: good value, comfortable, nice bathroom with soap & shampoo, kitchen was decently equipped Cons: wifi very poor

good for an overnight stop

Pros: very close to ferry fish market nearby Cons: ANTS in a room (in a bed also!) and in kitchen we heard almost everything from neighbours room (their TV was on all the time) there is EXTRA FEE 15 %, which was NOT well visible

Very poor

Pros: Close to the port and the owner was very friendly! Cons: -

Pros: Incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly host. The area is very hot and dusty, yet the hostel was not. The room had great airflow and 2 powerful fans. Cons: -

Pros: I stayed in typical house twice and really enjoyed both stays! The host is very nice and helpful, the location close to the harbor and many places to get food is good too. I also felt really cozy in both, the dorm and in the living room - it does feel like staying at someone's home :) (beware of cats, in case you are allergic though) Cons: The kitchen is not the cleanest

Superb

Pros: The owner was not unfriendly, this is why I give a rating of 2 instead of 1. Cons: Backpacking since 7 months through LATAM and that was the worst accommodation during that time. Our room smelled so heavily like cat pee that we bought a toilet rim block to bear it. The shared shower was dirty, there were sh*t stains in the toilet and the toilet lid, and it was super loud (doors very thin, and a lot of dogs in the neighbourhood that started barking in the middle of the night and woke us up). Yes, it is cheap, but we got a lot better accommodations in Nicaragua for the same money or less. And I also saw that the owner answers extremely rude to any critical comments, already looking forward to that lol

I have no idea how this place ended up with a rating this good

Pros: The lady running it was amazing. I missed a connecting bus and so ran late into the evening. She waited up for me . Easy location for the ferry to the Corn Islands, a few minutes walk Cons: It's still quite early in the development of the property so quite 'rustic'

A great way to wait for the ferry (to the Corn Islands)

Pros: Cecilia is a wonderful and friendly host who makes you feel right at home. It’s a comfortable stay (the loft dorm is airy and spacious with plenty of fans) and the lounge and kitchen is available for guests. It’s close to the port, market and centre and a great place to stock up on essentials before heading to the Corn Islands. A laundry service is also available. Thanks for a great stay Cecilia Cons: -

Homely stay

Pros: The owner was friendly and informative and the family is kind and genuine. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, and a good price. Bluefields is like nowhere else in Nicaragua Cons: On a few occasions you could smell sewage or animal faeces, but I think that's just how life is in the area around the docks in Bluefields

Good

Pros: Great location, a couple minutes from the ATM, 5/10 mins from dock Perfect for one night before the ferry to corn islands Nice staff Good price Cons: Very basic kitchen Dorm room now has 5 beds in.

Pros: Nice vibe and friendly staff. I really liked the cat that’s always around Cons: No hammocks in the wifi area and the stoves were so slow it was impossible to cook more advanced meals

Pros: - Cons: It was a very dirty place (the kitchen!) and strange people living there longterm, cats everywhere on the table etc. & when I needed to leave for the ferry in the morning at seven, I was locked in and couldn t leave the house or reach the host to open the door for me, so in the end, I walked in a room and had to wake up other guests. I am very sorry but would not recommend and was happy to leave again.

Disappointing

Despite booking on Booking.com, Typical House had overbooked the private rooms the night we stayed. We ended up in a sha

Pros: Great property to stay for one night, when traveling through to corn island Cons: -

Pros: Great location close to the Main Street and the ferry to Corn Islands, the owner is really nice and let me store my backpack there for 11 days. Cons: It’s not a hostel/hotel but someone’s home, so it’s not clear if you’re allowed to use the common areas and it feels a little uncomfortable doing so. There are lots of cats everywhere so it smells of cat wee.

Great location for catching an early ferry

Pros: Friendly staff. When it's not a holiday like my first stay, there's much more food options around and the town is very lively! Staff kept the cat away as much as they could when I mentioned my allergy. Cons: -

Nice Repeat Stay

Pros: Nearby the wharf, so, if you wish to go somewhere else rather than being in Bluefields, will be your best choice, in my case, I went to Orinoco, so, commuting to the wharf (pier) wasn't so complicated Cons: At night, the corridor that goes from the street to the main entrance looks pretty odd, you always have to watch your back to ensure you are not being chased. Also, you could improve a little bit the infrastructure by adding books or puzzle games or something to do at night.

Chilled, cheap and easy to commute to the town centre

Pros: Staff are super helpful with my questions on the messages here before and after my stay. The bed is super comfy. Basic kitchen but enough to make pasta. Big, clean bathrooms. Showers have good water pressure. Despite having pet cats and dogs, the furniture was clean of visible fur. Great location next to the ferry terminal. C40/pp for taxi from bus terminal. Cons: Not much in the area, it was mother's day when I arrived so couldn't find food. Thankfully found 1 supermarket right before it closes and bought pasta to cook at the hostel. The pet cats are too curious, keep the bedroom door closed if you have allergies!

Nice for a Stop Over

Pros: The owners were great. They are really kind and helpful. The location is central, close to the port, market, and restaurants. Good value for money. Cons: They could improve the facilities.

Good value for money

Pros: Perfect place to spend the night before or after the ferry. 5 mins walk to the ferry. Very homely feel to the place. The owner is very nice and helpful with the ferry and buses. Highly recommended :) Cons: -

Pros: The staff at this place is the VALUE of the place. Very friendly and helpful locals, excellent. It is also a great value for money, it includes towels, kitchen facilities and wifi. Cons: -

Excellent, friendly, helpful local staff.

Pros: they were so lovely and helpful especially when we arrived at 5am because of the overnight bus cannot recommended enough! Cons: -

Pros: Good place if you’re staying in Bluefields for a night or two before heading to Corn Islands. It’s a small place but feels like home - we came back and brought more friends with us. The host is very friendly and extremely helpful - he organised a driver to pick up our tickets from the bus station so we didn’t have to trek all the way there in the rain - much appreciated. Cons: The kitchen is not very functional if more people staying but it wasn’t an issue at all.

Nicest host in Bluefields

Pros: This is THE place to stay in Bluefields. Ferci is such a welcoming and kind host you’ll enjoy spend some time with even for a short chat. The hostel is nearby the pier of Bluefields where the boats leave to the Corn Islands. Also, there are supermarkets & restaurants close by. Facilities are clean and the kitchen has all you need to prepare your meals. I’ve stayed both in the dormitory as well as in the private room and both are simply a perfect place where to stay. You can pay at arrival both in cordobas as well as in US dollars. Cons: -

A lovely place in Bluefields

Pros: very friendly and helpfull host Cons: -

Pros: Excellent location. Walking distance to the ferry. The owner is amazing and so helpful. He even brought my bags to the ferry as the line up for tickets was taking a long time. My bus also arrived very late from Managua and waited up for me. Kitchen was available. Cons: I could have used a fan over my bed as not much breeze was coming in the window.

Good stay!!

Pros: ferci was the nicest and funniest host ever!! Cons: -

great host and location!!

Pros: Can't beat the location, right off the ferry dock. The person in charge is a pure gem. Very present, answer ALL questions, very knowledgeable. The room was fine, comfy bed. The guest house is a work in progress that has a lot of potential. Very basic for now but they have a beautiful vision and I wish them all the best. Cons: -

Hey really liked to stay in the typical house. The owner is really friendly and nice and we hanged out with him all the

Pros: Farcy is very welcoming!, and he gave me a lot of information, the Hostel is in downtown and 3 blocks from the dock to take the ferry to Corn island The Hostel have Kitchen, the bed have a good mattress. Cons: -

Family Guesthouse

Pros: loved the owner. he was so kind and helpful! Cons: room smelt slightly like mold. my lungs hurt after I stayed. unsure if it was due to dust from the repairs they were doing or some other reason.

great owner, accommodations were okay.

Pros: Fersi is very welcoming and helpful with anything you need to know. It's a great place to stay if you are on your way to Corn Island. The Place is clean and taken care of. Cons: The dorm is a little small and cramped for 4 people but you can leave your bag in the common area. Not a problem at all!
