Buena Onda Backpackers

We enjoyed our stay at Buena Onda very much. Everything is very clean and well kept. There is a covered outside area with kitchen, seating and a small pool, and an amazing view of San Juan del Sur. A 6 minute walk takes you through the neighborhood to the center of town.

One of the best places we stayed in!! Super clean and spacious, room was very nice and it had a lot of space to put your stuff. Facilities were great and we were able to use the kitchen. The common area is also super nice you got a pool , chairs, couch, hammocks and also a pool table to play pool. The hostel is very close to stuff, like 10 min walk max from town. You can also rent scooter from the hostel. Elvin was super friendly and helpful and he cleaned our room like it’s never been cleaned before. What a legend!! He is literally running the whole place by himself at the moment and he’s doing an incredible job. At the moment there were no more dogs around in the hostel. There was one super cute cat that comes by but it’s not from the hostel. She is really skinny and I think is starved. We bought her food and left some when we left. Pleaaaase if you read this and you go, feed her with whatever you can!! When she eats she is very sweet and cuddles a lot. If she begs a lot and is annoying it means she is hungry. The cat made our stay better!! All in all a great place to chill and to sleep!!

Not property’s fault but I did not like the street going up to the hostel at night, although it was completely fine. We walked and scootered around 20-23 o clock and it was fine but I did not like it. It’s quite dark and a seems a bit meh .

Nice terrace to relax, with pool table, small swimming pool and kitchen. Amazing sunset view and we saw monkeys every evening! Helpful staff who speak English.

No breakfast provided in rainy season but there was a kitchen to make something yourself. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but needs a better knife for cooking

It’s horrible from the outside

Its on a sloped hill with no parking and they don’t make an effort to proved you with (anywhere at all) safety for your vehicle, I was told to park a block away
