Inolvidable
Un lugar bellísimo, sinceramente me encantó todo. Pero creo que la mejor cosa es la conexión con la naturaleza. Además las personas son súper amables y hay un ambiente único.

no no no
el personal
sucio, te bañas con los sapos, meas con cucarachas y duermes con tarantulas sabanas que huelen mal, manchadas, huecos en la mosquitera (sabiendo que no hay paredes son dorm solo con un techo de palma)

Un lugar fantástico e inolvidable!
Mi estancia en El Zopilote fue simplemente maravillosa. Este hostal ecológico no solo ofrece precios muy accesibles, sino que también está profundamente comprometido con la sostenibilidad y la agricultura orgánica. Desde el primer momento, se puede sentir la dedicación a la conservación del medio ambiente y la promoción de prácticas responsables. Las instalaciones están rodeadas de naturaleza exuberante, lo que proporciona un ambiente tranquilo y relajante. Las habitaciones son sencillas pero cómodas, y están construidas con materiales naturales y sostenibles. La electricidad proviene de fuentes renovables, y hay un sistema de gestión de residuos muy eficiente, incluyendo reciclaje y compostaje. Una de las mejores partes de mi experiencia fue la comunidad en El Zopilote. La atmósfera es muy acogedora y amigable, con un enfoque en la colaboración y el intercambio cultural. Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a personas de todo el mundo y participar en diversas actividades organizadas por el hostal, como clases de yoga y talleres sobre permacultura. El personal es increíblemente amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Además, el restaurante del hostal ofrece deliciosas opciones de comida orgánica cultivada en su propia granja. Esto no solo garantiza la frescura de los ingredientes, sino que también apoya la economía local y reduce la huella de carbono. En resumen, El Zopilote es un lugar perfecto para quienes buscan una experiencia auténtica y sostenible en la hermosa Isla de Ometepe. Sin duda, lo recomiendo y espero regresar pronto.

Living in the jungle
The tranquility of the place because the farm is embedded in the jungle. Working together with nature -> permaculture great food! Awesome activities A lot to discover on the farm loving and conscious community

Exotic and amazing, right for Ometepe, but be ready for it!
Its setting in the jungle makes it feel exotic. Its use of alternative energy and strongly-encouraged recycling needs to be admired by patronizing it. Staff was amazing and into what they represent. I also truly enjoyed the vegetarian buffet dinner served one night.
The less costly dorm accomodations has only mosquito nets over a thatched roof covered open area. It should be duly noted as you have to want this or not to deal with the humid jungle rural environment. It's also quite a walk from the road up a hill to get there. Don't arrive in the darkness of night: it's dark! Far from town, so once there, you stay in.

A great way to be in nature during your stay in Ometepe
The vibe, great group of workers and backpackers, place was clean and I loved to sleep with sounds of nature! Plus yoga is a bonus and all activities organised made so hard to leave I would recommend to anyone that doesn’t have issues with bugs compost toilets etc if you don’t mind that you’ll really connect with the vibe and purpose of this place
The kitchen facilities unfortunately could improve a lot!

Misleading description
They offer a free yoga class each morning
The room was described as a private double room w private entrance, balcony and mountain view....it had none of these! The room entrance was in an 8bed dorm, no window, no balcony, no privacy. They moved us to a better more private room when we complained but in the new room there was no plug sockets, we found a cockroach and spider in the bed and the mosquito net was full of holes. The shared bathroom door didn't lock, and there was no fan in the room. The description also didn't mention it is accessed by a hiking trail that's unsuitable if you have movement impairments. They wouldn't give us a refund and we left after one night.
